An action packaged as -는 거 plus 빼다 'take out' carves out an exception: 잠 못 자는 거 빼고는 사실 힘든 건 없는데 (apart from not sleeping, nothing is really hard), 머리 말리는 거 빼고요? (not counting drying your hair?). The stock joke 없는 거 빼고 다 있다 — 'they have everything except what they don't have' — is how you say a place is stocked with absolutely everything.
