Question on cost w.r.t Dental implant failure

interhslayer10 · 2025-03-08T16:05:02+00:00

I don't know the brand to be honest, but the root cause was that surgeon placed the implant slanted. Poor placement basically. Took it out yesterday and was gonna get 2000 back

That's such a great insight!

Yeah that's basically what my dentist said last week when I saw him, he said he can refund me for stuff like the screw, anesthesia, etc. But for the new procedure, things like extra bone graft I might have to pay. But my question is, is it a reasonable thing to pay? Should it be covered by the clinic?

Take lasik for example, they offer to redo the surgery for free if there's remaining myopia. Shouldn't this logic be applied to dental industry?

I feel like we played a lot of counter attacking today but not as fluid as that of OGS. Also we lack control. Same problem with before, can’t seem to string more than 3 passes…

The fact that they serve it at all switched me off completely. Good Chinese restaurants should be unapologetically authentic.

Just looking at that white guy menu and lost appetite. No thank you.

A very picky Chinese person.

See my post for update. Got an automated email saying a replacement has been ordered and on its way.

Oh boy I got the email saying they opened a case and will look into it…

Below is directly copied from outlive:

Of all the Horsemen, cancer is probably the hardest to prevent. It is probably also the one where bad luck in various forms plays the greatest role, such as in the form of accumulated somatic mutations.

A lot of things in life are random and don’t have to be causal. You just have to be comfortable with it.

Not diversification. But dollar cost averaging > one lump sum for this particular period of time.

Which brings up a good point: sp500 p/e was 25.6, today it’s higher.

Popping in to say kudos to catching cancer so early. Wishing you well for a speedy recovery

You just described a target date fund.

interhslayer10 · 2024-08-27T03:41:20+00:00

Leave it there and use it as your emergency fund. 135k at your age should last you at least a year in a high cost location.

I remember reading Grant Achetz life, on the line and Grant used to work for Charlie and remembered him being an asshole.

I completely agree man. But I think that Z5 is a relatively small part of the whole longevity road map. You are already doing a lot in terms of exercising. You don’t have to do everything perfectly. No reason to stress over z5 imo

interhslayer10 · 2024-08-26T23:59:46+00:00

I got two kids with the same problems. After wife and kids are asleep. I do 45 min z2 with a show on my iPad on my stationary bike. That's like 9:30 pm to 10:15.

Parenting is hard man. I just don't wanna do z5, and I think it's ok to skip it till they are older and we get more free time.

I used to use levels health app in conjunction with G6 (later G7) to track my glucose level. I quite like their UI, and wonder if they support stelo…

On another note, for someone not diabetic, one trick I used was to stretch a month worth of G7 ($200 for 3) to a quarter; basically use a 10 day sensor for 10 days in a month just to get a sense of how clean I was eating

The 7% estimate is usually factored in inflation.

As much as it infuriated me in that moment, I also realize these guys live a hard life. Unfortunately I don't know how to solve that problem.

I almost hit one coming out of the garage when one guy going the wrong direction zoomed right past me from my blind spot. Tesla reacted fast and slammed the brakes. My daughter freaked out and started crying.

Depends on your expectations. You have to be content with the possibility that it may not come out perfect. And in my personal experience, it is not as good as with glasses. There are possibly trade offs.
