Sick of the lengthy process of battling insurance denials to get companies to pay for her medical care, Holden Karau decided to fight back like an engineer: She built an AI program to automate the process.
“… The “dirty secret” of the insurance industry is that most denials can be successfully appealed…”
I used to carry what I called a “cracker whacker,” on food deliveries. It was a miniature Louisville Slugger baseball bat. I cut off the last ¼" and used a ⅓" drill bit to create a cavity inside. I then dropped in a 3.5 lb round bar of lead that had about 2" of room on one end to shift back and forth as you swung the bat. I then resealed the bat using the cap I took off, some wood epoxy and 4 finishing nails, just in case.
That thing would easily have shattered a kneecap if I had ever had to actually use it, rather than just brandishing it.
I think they’re talking about the small souvenir ones. They may still be able to, but as they’re much shorter the force is weaker. Along these lines, it’d be better to add a larger weight towards the end of the bat instead of a rod all the way through. You want as much mass on the far end as possible, and maybe if you care about weight then less mass closer to you.
You’re correct. It was one of the small souvenir ones. I added the shifting weight so that it would slide to the far end of the bat as I swung it, drastically increasing angular momentum
It’s just kinda the implied meaning of what you said? My comment can be rephrased as “it’s better to be alive and in court than dead” to which you responded “guaranteed the people who say that haven’t had to deal with the court”. So if that’s not what you meant then what did you mean?
financing that shit is free since in a criminal proceeding it would be appointed to you, i think the same might be true in a civil matter, but im not sure how that would even apply here.
You will always need your own separate legal representation in all cases always. My attorney charges $850/hr in six minute increments. Anything having to do with attorneys, judges or courts is never ever going to be free.
The smallest child’s aluminum bats are much much more reliable for more than a single swing, and follow through and reset are magnitudes quicker.

Jesus Christ dude, a Louisville Slugger by itself could shatter a kneecap

Camden?
Well these days you should carry a baseball and a glove in your car/home, gives you plausible deniability.
While it sounds extremely effective, your cracker whacker sounds extremely felonious. :)
As all the gun guys say “better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6”.
Yeah, and those guys have guaranteed never had to fight hostile litigation / prosecution and finance it.
You’d rather be dead than deal with fussy legal shit?
And where did I say that?

What I posted, nothing more.

This quote sounds like a promo for a porno.
