Last year I went after 6 years and everything was fine.
Turns out, adults (and even children) can clean their own teeth by spending up to 5 minutes a day on them.

My dentist always gave me props for how beautiful my teeth were and the way I was brushing them, and then proceeded to critize me for not flossing them enough because he'd still find some calculus in those parts where my brush doesn't reach. But I hate flossing, because I always bleed like a pig when doing it

It's been three years since my last visit to the dentist tho and I'm kinda afraid to make an appointment $:-\$

This was me. I've still only ever had one cavity and I don't think it ever actually existed. I went to some clinic when I was 18 and the dude told me I had two cavities and then filled one. When I moved and went to a different dentist a couple of months later he told me my teeth were pretty healthy and I had 0 cavities. The first clinic was some free/sliding scale clinic that seemed shady - it was basically in a trailer - but I was 18 and thought "hey, it's New Mexico."

I went last year, 13 years later and I still have zero cavities. I just brush my teeth twice a day and use mouthwash occasionally.

Go to the dentist, brehs.

desert punk · « **Reply #5404 on:** March 15, 2018, 08:09:00 AM »

I think some people just have more luck with their teeth than others. Some have to run to the dentist all the time even tho they brush and floss daily, while others haven't seen one in years and still got no problems.

Tho I brush my teeth twice a day, I think I got lucky thus far. I also think the older you get, the more problems you're gonna have with your teeth.

Mupepe · « **Reply #5405 on:** March 15, 2018, 08:46:10 AM »

That’s probably true. I go regularly now but I didn’t have insurance for a long ass time which is why I didn’t go.

You still need bi-yearly cleanings at the very least breh. Wouldn't be surprised if they found a shitton of cavities on you.

2 cavities

Actually it wasn't that bad, but still, dentists rank #1 on my list of irrational fears.

You know that stops after like 3-4 days of consecutive flossing, right...?

Unless you're a hemophiliac or something.

Part of it seems to be where you were raised/born too? Last time I went my dentist clocked that I was from the islands because apparently our tap water is better so we tend to have stronger teeth and that gum diseases is what we need to watch for.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #5411 on:** March 15, 2018, 01:59:17 PM »

Why would you be more susceptible to gum disease? Genetics?

I assume drinking tap water vs distilled/bottled makes a big difference because of fluoridation. On the downside some mid century home plumbing ends up having high lead and copper but that just fucks you up on the inside, the vanity parts still look good.

Not sure if this is an inconvenience or struggle, but allergies are really bumming me out. I took two Benadryl at 1AM, went to bed at 01:30. Woke up with a sneezing fit at 02:20, where the antihistamines should have had my allergies on the ropes, but seemingly all it did was make me bamboozled and incoherent. Really sleepy now. I have an appointment with my accountant in less than an hour and I can barely function. :'(

What kinda filtration did you have on it? Most of the fluoride in groundwater is naturally occurring.

For some reason I don't mind JSX in React Native but it feels icky to me in the browser. Vue does it a bit better.

So, uh, picking this up again and...
does every stateful html element need to be converted, so to speak, into a controlled component in order to integrate properly into React? Seems like an annoyance.

Tasty · « **Reply #5419 on:** March 16, 2018, 05:43:32 PM »

I mean I'm sure there are workarounds, but it definitely has more of a blessed path than a lot of other libraries.

shosta · « **Reply #5420 on:** March 16, 2018, 08:15:31 PM »

Quote

It can sometimes be tedious to use controlled components, because you need to write an event handler for every way your data can change and pipe all of the input state through a React component. This can become particularly annoying when you are converting a preexisting codebase to React, or integrating a React application with a non-React library. In these situations, you might want to check out uncontrolled components, an alternative technique for implementing input forms.

Allergies are consistently getting worse as spring continues its stealthy approach on Osaka. Oh, to live in Los Angeles again, bereft of trees or bushes or any grass that wasn't part of an over-watered lawn…

My dad died just as my son was about to turn 1 year old. The other day, I felt like I should call him. As the cognitive dissonance settled in, I felt pretty sad but also warm at the same time.

Yesterday my son came to me and was like "Dad, why do you have two copies of Final Fantasy 8?" I replied that I didn't, that I only had one. He insisted I had two. I told him to show me. When he brought it to me, I realized that he saw that the case had two spines because it held multiple discs

I laughed a bit and have to explain to him that back in the day a large game wouldn't fit on one disc so it came with many.

Then I realized, he's never lived in a world where you'd have to change discs mid-game. I'm so old

why couldn't you own a physical copy of Final Fantasy 7 or 9 instead? you could have been a cool dad

Or FFT, then he'd be the coolest dad.

Microsoft support has got to be the worst out there.
I replaced the mainboard of the PC of a friend and his Windows license is no longer valid since it is tied to the hardware. The"troubleshooter" didn't work and I had to call up their customer support. After explaining what happened they were just like "Sorry, can't help you with that." And this poor sod even bought the fucking license at full price.

Just bought a Win 10 Pro license off a reseller for 8 bucks. Fuck them.
