    Weight Loss Thread

    Every level of the system has significant actors trying to claim their piece of the pie with incompetence and negligence sprinkled in. It is just a game of whack-a-mole for the patient to locate the dick coming to fuck them next. Many do not even realize they are getting fucked. Every level has...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I have heard from at least two others their insurance would not cover it for weight loss. It seems like a doctor would definitely tell you to try everything else before gastric bypass especially since that just restricts what you can fit in your stomach.

    What is this marinade? I can easily eat the same thing all the time but the wife cannot. I'm always looking for new ways to make chicken.

    Weight Loss Thread

    My wife had an officemate that was probably pushing 400 pounds in his late 20's early 30's. Employer is a major US Healthcare provider. The employee health plan will not cover GLP-1 for weight loss, no exceptions. They told him gastric bypass is 100% covered though. Sometimes I want to believe...

    There was another addition to the sexuality/gender alphabet soup and I did not have first hearing of it on FoH on my bingo card. I had to look up the 2S because I thought for sure the addition of the plus was the end of it. It really sounded like it was for the furries at first. They must add...

    I cannot see how even a real UV is going to help the disposal considering what goes down the other drains in the house . Like you said, use it right, no problems. I would bet the first thing to break on the model you linked is the "UV" circuitry. The next model will have RGB LEDefense syncable...

    Home Improvement

    I always hated garbage disposals because they get misused, things dropped in them or hooked up wrong so often. When I redid the kitchen I skipped the disposal but made sure I left proper electrical and placed the drain to the side and back of the cabinet so a future owner could work in what they...

    The protestors you would see on game days were usually holding signs concerning Chief Wahoo, a cartoony representation they found offensive, sometimes compared to blackface. The organization started walking back from Chief Wahoo and The Tribe branding well before changing the name. I never...

    Taxes / Tax return questions

    I stopped using TurboTax when they jacked up the price many years ago. I've used HR Block software for years. There is always some discount for it and you get 5 e-files for federal so I split it with family members. In my state, they have had free e-file for years so I do not need the state but...

    The Official Conspiracy Thread

    I saw a documentary with Buzz Aldrin that explained a lot about the moon. The Autobots involvement made me feel a lot better about what's gone on up there but, the rest makes me way more distrustful of the government.

    You do not want the air from your conditioned space moving inside the wall cavity. Depending on the age and construction of the house, there are all kinds of ways that happens but those holes are a direct line (purpose of making them) even when covered with a baseboard. Controlling air movement...

    RIP Araysar

    I thought someone might call me out on weed as I'm pretty sure it is still sold by the ounce in the US. I thought the joke was funnier without any caveat. On a serious note, I think every country has adopted metric these days so it is just a spectrum of level of adoption now. The US and Canada...

    Probably the most impactful thing my mother ever said to me was, you can only have the relationship with someone that they will allow you to have. As I get older, I realize more and more that a lot of unhappiness and frustration in life stems from trying to have control and what she said...

    Chris Rock explains it more humorously but it is true. Dating is just your representatives. You have to go beyond that to figure out if you can live together.

    If you have need of a string trimmer, get a PivoTrim head replacement for it or one of the knock offs. It will change your perspective on string trimmers. I think my current one is made by Gator or some similar name and has a 4-way head. Use .095 string. Can keep precut lengths in your pocket...

    Definitely not fiction. The first time I heard about that sort of wound was in a documentary about heroine addiction and how it has evolved. Krokodil was later in the discussion about the depths of depravity. Some wild shit. Krokodil started in Russia and made its way into Europe but I imagine...

    Nah man, this is the coach change and quarterback change that will bring the glory days back. All the other ones led them here. I've said it since the NFL gave them the team back in 1999...their whole identity has always been fucked. Name the team after the first coach that preferred...

    That shot me right back to the day a guy presented me the inkjet cartridge he "opened" from our computer repair shop. He had the blue, stretchy plastic cover strip and a dozen or so pieces of the connector ribbon on a paper towel. For thirty minutes he could not understand why I could not return it.

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    The way he was talking about his fingers and moving I thought he had some sort of spinal injury around his neck that was about to gush when they removed armor. In that scene though, my main thought was how they just decomissioned 14 capable knights over 1 royal being a dick. Fun to watch.

    You should also test the TP valve on a water heater annually. A basic gas model has an anode to help protect the tank and other metal parts. The tank is usually glass/enamel lined steel but the lining is the thickness of paper. Look on the top for a recessed nut that is 1-1/16". You may also...

    They charge $400+ because people will pay it. Someone that must pay to have the job done likely has no knowledge or concern of what tools and fittings are used. Anyone paying for the job and wants to provide input on how it should be done is likely getting charged extra. There are a lot of ways...
