  • Depends. I had 4 at 90°. Only one hurt a little. They caused pockets, which are hard to clean (impossible by yourself) and can accelerate bone loss. I removed 3 of them. 2 by a jaw surgeon. They were creating a space bewteen molars deeper inside the bone, while also creating an opening at the top. Nasty.

    Chronic inflamation of the gums don't hurt either. Best way to tell is by a mouth hygiënist. If your gums bleed easily while flossing, it's a good idea to keep flossing. Takes about 1-2 weeks before the gums calm down and the swelling dissipates. I use those tiny round brushes to get in between. If you start using those, m start with the thinnest wire. The metal should absolutely not scrape against the teeth, only the brush.

    Taken years to form that habit...

  • The same goes for everything that lives then. There is no such thing as a mammal, they are just a form of prototheria! A lot of them just evolved into what we consider marsupials or eutheria. But a koala is just as much a mammal as a lemur!

    Now this is a much smaller branch ofc, but you could slap it onto anything more vague. Reptiles, fish, crabs... and worse... fungi. Not to mention the archea.

  • Nice. Same here. AuDHD at 29. Got a chance to try out methylfenidate. Trying 27mg slow release now. The lower dose of 18mg did nothing, but fucked me up after a week of trying out.

    So far so good. Gonna warn you though, it still takes work, but it's easier to "just do stuff." It's as if I have a gas pedal now, instead of a button to move the car. As if I can choose to work at a lower rpm. Running on idle is possible now, and being idle (such as waiting 15min for the train) doesn't bother me. As if I can choose what to allocate working memory to. Allowing me to manage my dyslexia and high associative thinking better.

    I also notice satiety and thirst. Something I didn't feel before.

    I can quit stop doing "fun" stuff and switch to doing "less fun" stuff. Going from playing a video game, to studying! It never worked this way. I was only ever able to start study in the morning. Once I caved into gaming, it was game over.

    Reading is hard, but I am managing to get myself to start reading. I seem to be able to do stuff even when I don't "feel" like doing it. Like laundry! Still hard, but not impossible.

    Does nothing for my forgerfulness though, and the mental hyperactivity isn't zen. So the dose may be still too low for me. I was only able to experience "the zen" with 10mg fast working on the testing day. But the rebound caused me to experience something akin to a stroke and pass out for 5min and wake up in confusion.

    It's an alien experience.

  • Don't know. It was a droplet. My guess is that the centrifugal forces spread it out so much, that it was no longer visible. I could not find where. So I simply told the instructor and left it at that.

  • I remember the first time I worked with human blood. In hematology class, we learned how to clean up blood. As we were loading up our capilairi tubes into the centrifuge, I noticed a drop of blood had been spilled.

    Impressive, I thought. Good thing there's enough time to clean that up, I thought. I go and grab the sds, alcohol and paper tower from the table closeby. I turn around to see people leaving.

    Already spinning.

    I learned that day, to never trust anything. Not the equipment, not myself, and especially not other students....

  • As someone who has been a teenager. Cheating is easy, and class wasn't as fun as video games. Plus, what teenager understands the importance of an assignment? Of the skill it is supposed to make them practice?

    That said, I unlearned to copy summaries when I heard I had to talk about the books I "read" as part of the final exams in high school. The examinor would ask very specific plot questions often not included in online summaries people posted... unless those summaries were too long to read. We had no other option but to take it seriously.

    As long as there isn't something that GPT can't do the work for, they won't learn how to write/do the assignment.

    Perhaps use GPT to fail assignments? If GPT comes up with the same subject and writing style/quality, subract points/give 0s.
