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.

Yeah we had a well so I didn't get the fluoride water that makes frogs gay.

Still turned out gay though.

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.

Proof that mother nature decides who should be gay.

A sore throat? Been sucking off hobos lately? Could be strep.

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I replaced the mainboard of the PC of a friend and his Windows license is no longer valid since it is tied to the hardware.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.

My car had a spark issue on cylinder number 1 and went into limp mode right as soon as I entered the highway. Had to drive the next mile and a half restricted to 40 mph on a highway with absolutely no traffic before I could exit.

Took out my handy-dandy OBD2 scanner and googled the error code. Confirmed there was a lack of spark by unplugging/plugging coil packs which made a difference in engine note for every cylinder except cylinder 1. Also noticed that the cylinder 1 coil pack was way over-torqued indicating fuckery by somebody (previous owner?) who may have taken out a spark plug to look at it and then dropped it or some shit.

Lucky thing is I ordered a set of spark plugs a couple weeks ago because I was a couple thousand miles away from their service interval. Now I'm hoping the wires/coil pack aren't the problem and that driving 10 or so miles home at low speed didn't foul the catalytic converter due to the unburnt fuel.

How would you rank the pain? Just for future reference.

Chilli?
Tiger Balm?
Discount/off-brand sour candy where the sour coating can rub off easily and one piece is enough to dissolve your tongue meats?
All manners of naturally occurring acid (citrus juice, vinegar, etc)?
Aromatic Oil squirts (from squishing citrus fruit skin)?

I managed to get over it with thorough washing and about 10 minutes of mewling and whining. Probably off-brand sour candy, but it was a long 10 minutes.

Don't disrespect sour discount candy, Lager. That stuff could -and would- cause acid burns when it came into contact with moisture and/or tender meats. Caused blisters and shit.

Kinda-sorta like those Center Shock chewing gums some poor unfortunate kids find in their trick or treat bags if some asshole like me lives anywhere on their Halloween route. Only on steroids, much longer lasting and vicious.

Haven't seen them in a decade or so, they probably got done in for teeth melting and mouth burning.

Edit: Amazon review of center shock/centre shock:

Quote

burns my tongue everytime I chew it. By burn I mean it actually damages tissue and I get blisters. I’ve had this candy back in India from a different manufacturer apparently and it was safe. This shouldn’t be on sale here.

So there's apparently regional differences.
Also, that reviewer is a wuss.
