It's not going to burst, it's an incredible marketing opportunity that will invade our privacy until and unless we make it illegal. Every screen, camera, vehicle, tool will call home and report everything about you so that the company that sold you the item can make a buck.
He's the only person I've known here in almost 50 years without a middle name. It's quite possible other people haven't had a middle name but it's never come up.
I used to work with a guy that was from China. He only had a first in a last name. He was going to college here and the college required everyone to have a middle initial as part of their login. They just used his last initial as his middle initial.
I have a long involved horror story that led up to me needing a root canal that I decided not to post here because it probably isnt nteresting to anybody but me.
For the most part, a root canal is kind of minor. They numb your gums where they're going to inject a numbing agent, then they inject a numbing agent, worst case they go a little nutso and try to inject a few places in there but the pain is there and gone in 5 seconds. If at any point you feel pain they can do a better job of numbing you. Honestly, any pain caused in the numbing process goes away pretty quickly when they successfully do it.
They poke around, there's a little drilling, some bad smell maybe heat maybe cold a lot of spitting out little sandy chunks of debris. If the tooth is still in pretty good shape they just pack it back up and you're good to go.
If you end up needing a crown there's a good bit more drilling a good bit more spitting a good bit more smoke. But it's really just the same thing prolonged.
It won't kill you, it will annoy you and it's marginally unpleasant, The anxiety of being there in the anxiety of not knowing what's going on is much worse than the actual procedure. Meditate, chill, roll with it you'll be fine.
“the guardrails of our democracy barely held in 2020
The guardrails only held because of the gross mismanagement of the insurgency. If we don't clear house on the SCOTUS and put strong voting protections in place in every state, it's a matter of when, not if they take it over by force.
I have no lack of proper test equipment, this is actually kind of nice because the kids can use it easily without trying to wrangle a battery and two leads.
Oh noes, somebody said something positive about Tesla! Get 'em boys!
Seriously though, I would like to see some legislation that made them offer connectivity free models. All the connectivity crap should be opt-in. If you don't opt in they don't connect the SIM card.
If it weren't for the temperature limitations they'd probably perform reasonably well over a decent period of time.
It would be interesting to see their performance compared to just printing bushings.
