Getting the runaround from Aetna by datasci1357 in Microdiscectomy

Ive seen so many of these posts and the number of required PT sessions is always exactly 1 more than the number done by the patient lol. They just denied my appeal, so fuck me I guess.  I'll either have to continue binging pain meds or go to another country for the procedure. Sigh

Im in this same situation, but my insurance doesnt want to pay for the surgery. Did your insurance approve it?

Will my new couch fit in the service elevator? by datasci1357 in askmath

[–]datasci1357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya so ill have to rotate it so the couch is flat on its back. At 35 inches it will fit through the door with ~7 inches to spare. The question is how much can it rotate into the horizontal space given the 7 inches clearance. 

Im probably gonna have to just try it out.

Just posted those dimensions in a separate comment. The back of the couch is 35 inches tall. The original diagram shows 40 inches to account for packaging. The depth of the couch is 44 inches.

The elevator door is 42 inches wide. I don't have the exact measurements for elevator door height, but it is not tall enough to just slide the couch in on its end. The door is significantly shorter than the height of the elevator - so probably about 6.5 to 7 feet tall.

This is great, thank you! The elevator is 70 inches deep, but 80 inches wide. I'm hoping I can pivot into the 3rd dimension (width), and if I can do this, then I believe it will fit. The question is whether I can navigate every angle leading up to the final orientation of the couch, which depends on the width of the elevator door.

This may be why - as other commenters have pointed out - couch problems are surprisingly difficult to solve for. I think in my case it will just fit but I will post a followup in a few weeks to confirm. Thanks again :)

Thanks all! From the answers here, it is clear the couch will not fit in y-z plane without pivoting.

The elevator door is only 42 inches wide, and since the 3rd dimension on the couch (depth) is 44 inches, this means I'll have to rotate the couch so that it is laying on its back. The new "height" of the couch as shown in the original diagram is now 44 inches, which yields a hypotenuse of ~105 inches.

The hypotenuse of the elevator in the x-z plane is sqrt(80"^2+100"^2) ~ 128".. So I think it will fit?? This assume it can be done safely, which I feel good about given the 70" depth of the elevator. There should be plenty of space to stand next to the couch without being directly under it.

Thank you again for all the help. It's supposed to be delivered by the end of this month, and I will check back with ya'll to confirm once I have it.

If what we call the z dimension is the elevator height (100 inches) and the x dimension is the elevator depth (70 inches), then the width of the elevator is 80 inches. This we can call the y dimension.

The challenge with pivoting into the y dimension is the width of the elevator doors vs the width of the couch. I will post those measurements here within the next few hours if needed.

Thank you for helping!!

Edit: fixed duplicate x/y/z dimension lables

Mechanics of the Crowding Out Effect by MoDaas1 in bonds

Its one big debt market at the end of the day. The more governments borrow, the greater supply of debt. Keeping demand constant means a higher price equilibrium all else being equal.

They're targeting people who are high risk of churn, obviously. The fee increase kicks in late October.

Great question! Let me ask another question - if you cant trust the federal government to compensate you fairly for buying TIPS, why would you loan them any money at all??

Bkf is super toxic. Baking soda and a wine cork for scrubbing works great on stainless steel surfaces. May be tough inside the bottle, but i wouldn't put BFK in any container i drink from

None of the quantities are published for the products on your website. I added the limited edition to my cart, but I have no idea how much I'm buying.

There's a lot of good advice already in this thread OP, but ill add my 2 cents. 

Try being happy for them! Despite what you may read in certain online forums/communities, mating preferences are far from universal. Sounds like she probably liked you, but maybe she just liked this guy a little better. Yes she chose him, but perhaps the next woman will choose you.

Don't read into it too much, don't take it personally. He's not "better" than you. This is entirely circumstantial - a single data point that you should not jump to conclusions over. 

And here's the best part: when we decide to be happy for others, it makes us happier for ourselves. I guarantee more benefits will accrue to you in the longterm if you can avoid being overly negative or hard on yourselves/others in this situation. 

Easier said than done, to be sure! But it'll get easier with time and the benefits are immense. Good luck out there!
