When a big ass building is getting close to finished, they wheel in these half-shitters and man do they get ripe easy. Otherwise you have to take a man-lift ride down to the ground and nothing would get done.

So anyways, on this one job, i knew my buddy was dropping a deuce so I came up to the other end and took a leak to talk some shit. Right after I finished up I looked and saw there was a female electrician up on a ladder watching the whole thing. Lol. I mean could totally probably see him wipe his ass.

time to call togo's.....brb
Hey, I’m so fat I’ve been thinking about this sandwich for 3 days. Seriously, I got all the ingredients about a week ago. But I had other shit going on. So when I had a chance I made the corned beef. Because that’s the star of the show. Then I was able to put it all together. I made my own Russian dressing too and it was killer.

I'm not sure if it's the same in the US, here all the emphasis is on academics and competing to get into your preferred school. I wish I took a few shop classes in high school... I'd have to pay someone to remove my kitchen sink. :confused:
That's the way schools are here, for the most part. I went to a trade high school for machining, but even that was moving away from teaching the usual manual labor jobs(plumbing, electrical, welding, auto body, etc, etc) to more of an engineering prep school while I was there, and that was over 20 years ago. Between the fact the country outsources the majority of our manufacturing, combined with a wasteful consumer society that throws things out instead of getting them fixed, there's little perceived need for mechanical aptitude.

Removing the sink is easy, just need a big hammer. Everything after that kinda sucks.

Would one of the medical billing code websites help? They xref the procedure to the code.
I have used those but it does no resolve the underlying issues.

The insurance company claims they cannot legally give me a list of what codes are covered by my insurance plan and for what diagnoses. For instance a proceedure may be covered for one diagnoses but not another. There may be coding errors in your bills that you are fully unaware of but affect your out of pocket expenses.

I call bullshit on the legality thing because a few years back (afordable care act still) when I hit my out of pocket maximums and the insurance company was responsible for a larger portion of the bill, they assigned a nurse to me who was more than happy to advise me on what billing codes were covered by my plan.

To evaluate if a purchase has value I must know what is included. I could with all respect, call the customer service line with the entire list of codes and one by one go through and find out which ones are covered and what the allowable billing rate is. But I would not have any access to this information for an insurance plan that I am.not participating in, for instance if I want to change plans I cant really evaluate if the plan is better for me.

The trick here as I see it is to correlate the allowable billing rates for covered proceedures. Then comparing that with what providers are charging (particularly providers who are either out of network or do not participate (they wont bill insurance). This is when the insurance provides for you to be reimbursed for allowable medical sercives when those services are provided by qualified indivuals.

There seems to be a basic conflict with the hippocratic oath when the doctor cannot answer the question how much will this cost me?

Lol.
My mom let me grow in my bedroom closet for a couple years whenever I wanted up until I was 18. I built this big ass wood growbox in the garage. That’s when it got awkward for the both of us and so I moved out. Lol. Good times....
Crazy! I had free access booze whenever I wanted including homemade ouzo that would make you go blind. Weed was totally taboo.

My dad was a carpenter and most of my family was in the trades. So I spent summers 'helping'. I think I was pretty lucky.
You are. I think my dad would have taught me if I showed any interest. My older brother worked with him during the summer. I think power tools are out to get me. I started buying all the stuff for my grow and decided to save money with DIY dwc buckets. Seemed simple enough. I bought a big ass 6" drill bit for the the netpot holes in the lids. On the first lid the little drill went through no problem, as soon as the big bit touched the plastic the drill stopped and cranked my wrist. I thought I broke it for sure and it hurt for weeks after.

So how did that go? Did you try to warn him first? so many questions.

Hey dad, meet my new room mates?


or did you go hard line on him
I didn't tell him exactly what was going on until he was here, and not what was growing until we were standing in front of the tent. What I'm doing is perfectly legal and he knew it, but I think he was lowkey mad. He said "you did this?" a couple times in his indoor voice so think he was somewhat impressed at what he was seeing. He drilled new holes in the beams got the bits unstuck that I left behind and ran and tested the water lines so he got over it quickly enough.

I do also, been thinking about how to cook it on the grill instead of boiling it in the house and adding to the heat.
Instapot would be a good choice. I don’t think smoked/grilled flavor would be best for corned beef.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m from Texas so I love smoked brisket. And if you don’t know me, my brisket is really good.

But when I think of a Reuben, I don’t think smoked brisket. I think corned beef. 2 different things brother.

I was planning on using the gas grill, not the smoker. Just a way to heat it up. I like the crunch when I make CB hash, so I thought it might be the same with a whole one.
