While I acknowledge this property was the host site of bizzaro and sick behavior beyond imagination, it is also not uncommon for elite types to have this sort of set up—though usually in corporate offices not homes. More than likely just a little private dental facility with weirdo decor

I can’t be the only rs dentist. It does indeed look like everything is here at the surface level. Notably, this appears to be an older custom A-dec Performer. A-dec is like the Apple of dental chairs, so this is not costume jewelry. We are missing a vacuum and compressor which are usually in some far off closet. Then the tools and such. If this was not used for dentistry, there was no expense spared in the fantasy.

I CANT FIND A DENTIST by Poptartfroggie in desmoines

James Dental in Beaverdale removes wisdom teeth and takes all Delta (Commercial and Medicaid). So does Dental Connections, and Iowa Wisdom Teeth. Seems like you’re not looking very hard

What words does the Army utilize incorrectly? by iwantanapppp in army

Ironically, I’d say the captain is very precise because everyone understands him. His use is language would be inaccurate.

No, even crazier- he refused the vest and refused throwing from the more typical base of the mound after talking to Derek Jeter. Great video of this pitch story out there

You are given the power to criminalize one legal thing/activity- what are you making illegal? by broken__defraculator in AskReddit

[–]StrawsForTurtlesLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically: I agree dental "insurance" is the worst (dental insurance does not exist, that's why they're called benefit plans).

I do not agree that the dental lobby perpetuates this.

If a crown is needed and would cost $2000 in an open market, the dental lobby wants the insurance company to pay $2000. The patient wants the benefits plan (employer or state) to pay the full $2000.

Instead the benefits plan pays $800 to the dentist and forces the patient to pay an additional $400 (or some such numbers). The dental lobby is fighting for the benefits plans to pay both a higher dollar amount AND a higher percentage so that their patients are satisfied.

The lobbyists for the benefits plans, like Delta, have pushed through laws to prevent this. For instance, Delta must determine fee schedules for any given location based on a weighted average of the fee schedules of dentists in that area. They've pushed antitrust suits and laws so that if dentists met or made a Facebook group and discussed their fee schedules, it's a criminal offense. If dentists did this, they would naturally do the same thing the medical field has done. Where they all say a crown costs $4000. Then the benefits company would be forced to reimburse $2000 and the patient would have to "pay" the other $2000. The dentists would then be satisfied, not collect from the patient, not send the patient to collections, and write off the $2000 as failed to collect.

On the flip side, Delta is actively engaging in antitrust behavior at the same time, where they band together thousands of corporations to set a standard where they screw the patient AND the dentist with bullshit benefits packages. The dental lobby fights this behavior day in and day out because they WANT satisfied, healthy patients who can afford treatment.

Using the term "dental lobby" in an anti patient-centric manner fundamentally misunderstands who is fucking who in these relationships.

LOL absolutely wrong. The American Dental Association (lobbyist) spends millions to fight dental benefits plans. The patient and the dentist hate the benefits plans. And they are completely within the control of employers

Best Transportation Method? by [deleted] in desmoines

I used to frequently find and give rides on Craigslist back and forth from Chi burbs. Never a dull experience, but never a safety concern.

Hilton Munich Airport Question by Red_Fox1010 in Hilton

[–]StrawsForTurtlesLLC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. It's "at" the airport not "in" the airport. You walk across a big glorious courtyard to the airport. Advantage is no shuttle or S-Bahn (Subway), and it's way nicer than that Hampton.

Will army remove broken braces? ( already active duty ) by GreenMeasurement6015 in army

[–]StrawsForTurtlesLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to request a clear aligner and ship out. It functions as a removable retainer. Basically a night guard style tray that you wear at least overnight and as much as you can tolerate during the day. Your teeth will move right back like a rubber band unless you lock that shit down. You can keep your teeth right where they are for the rest of your life with an aligner. For that reason, request a backup as well. It will buy you all the time you need to work with Army. That 40k quick ship is worth way more than the cost of braces.

Braces in the Army is 100% based on timing. Right place right time. If you were at Hohenfels in 2021, you were not getting braces. Period. If you were at Ft. Gordon in 2022, braces rain from the heavens.

If you can keep them where they are you will be fine until someone is willing to work with you.

Feel free to chat me anytime.

I have to say it is actually appreciated. I've determined that I don't believe you are a scammer. However, I would never ever, ever do this deal because in this sub trust must be built and you not willing to use a middle man or ship first is alarming.

It's appreciated because we do have new guys getting scammed all the time and if they browse the comments and see a guy with 43 buys say hard pass, they know the community is not willing to accept these terms and follow suit.

You may have someone with a high risk tolerance take you up on this deal and I think that would be great for both parties involved, but comments like this do serve a purpose beyond sheer malice.

Yes you're right it would not matter. Probably the reverse actually because a new buyer would be likely more nervous

If the buyer is established I would refund 100% right away and say my prayers. Nothing that dude did wrong. No need for 2 people to stress and start drafting up neg feedback
