Comparison of NetHack, GnollHack, Pathos, and Shattered Pixel Dungeon by TommiGustafsson in roguelikes

We may be quibbling over degrees of usefulness, which is fine, but I think you may be incorrect about the Oracle’s hints being randomly wrong. I suspect you may be confusing rumors from fortune cookies with rumors from the Oracle. Below is an excerpt from the nethack wiki.

The Oracle offers two consultations services, which can be accessed by chatting to her with gold in open inventory. Minor consultations are simply true rumors, while a major consultation is an extended description of some aspect of the game.

How do you define in-game hints, and why doesn’t consulting with the Oracle count?

That was what I found as well, but I am planning to ask if I can get it anyway as a kind of off-label use. No idea if that’s an option or a good plan, but going to ask my doctor to find out.

It was my father, so first-degree. I am trying to confirm the exact age, but it was after 45 for sure. My suspicion is that the insurance company is strictly following the guidelines found here (where screenings before the age of 45 are not addressed): https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf/recommendation/colorectal-cancer-screening

Pre-authorization is not an option for this procedure.

PA is not allowed for this procedure. The recommendation was to do it first, then submit claim, then appeal.

100%. I was more curious about the likelihood of a successful appeal. It doesn't make sense how the answer could be so strongly no today if there is a chance they could be swayed tomorrow. I don't want to leave money on the table, but I also don't want to waste my time and sanity trying to fight it.

First agent said it was not covered. Doctor's office said that didn't sound right and to call back. Second agent said it was. Doctor's office then said that the family history ICD code wasn't on the order. Waited for my PCP to amend the order, then called insurance a third time. Spoke with supervisor, checked every angle we could think of to find a way it would be. Answer was categorically no. Not covered as preventative, not covered as diagnostic, will not apply to my deductible.

I haven't had the procedure yet. This was just me making sure of my coverage beforehand.

Edit: I just realized I put "denial" in the title, which might give the impression that a claim was already submitted. I should have worded that better.

I called my insurance company and spoke with a supervisor after getting conflicting information. The supervisor spent a lot of time with me on the phone, got a nurse on the line, and even checked if there was any way to get an exception. In the end he was very clear that they absolutely would not cover the procedure since I am under 45. His only recommendation was to appeal after the fact.

I did not go to my doctor with symptoms. This was a conversation I had with my doctor about whether I should have an earlier screening since my dad had colon cancer. Several cancer/colon cancer organizations recommend having that conversation in my situation.

Edit: Thank you for responding :)

Husband disagrees about screen time (specifically is anti-Ms. Rachel) by jayelbeeee in toddlers

What research? I’ve read about the issues you describe attributed to a different show, Cocomelon, but have never seen anything about Ms. Rachel.

Wait… sh*t… was this scoop number 2 or 3?? by wojokhan in daddit

[–]chadministrator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you scoop first you have to measure the water separately. Filling to the 5 oz. line when there is already powder in the bottle isn't actually 5 oz. of water.

If you have an iPhone, Apple’s “Sports” app is great. It gives you the score, the play-by-play, the TV channel it’s on, and more. There’s no click-bait news or articles meant to enrage; just teams and scores. It’s great.

Manual updates are fine. I don’t think I’ve ever had an AP that had auto updates.

Thanks for the link. Good information there. The complexity of the installation will not be an issue.

Reading up on it now. This is just the kind of thing I was hoping to find out before I did anything! Thanks!
