The article makes it sound like an entire medical team prepared the surgery in detail, including measuring all the distances and angles needed and programming the sequence of steps, then stood back and watched while the robot followed the instructions to the letter. I'm having a hard time seeing how this process would help with either the shortage of dentists of the backlog of patients (400 years worth lmao).

Coolguye posted:it's insanely funny to me to hear about the 'tiger mothers' that push their kids so hard to achieve. you hear so much about this is why china is going to beat the united states because this is the NORM for their country. then someone actually goes through the sociological data and can actually show that not only is this not correct, the reality is almost the exact opposite where an entire class of chinese kids are raised to be nonfunctional Huxleylike Epsilons from the word go, you're the racist for bringing it up because ??????? A lot of people in America have this idea that if they could just force themselves to study all day, deprive themselves of pleasure, etc etc they would be successful. So when they see people in a far off, foreign place actually doing this stupid idea, they imagine that they're all super-geniuses. Sad.

There are a lot of dentists in China who have literally zero education whatsoever about dentistry so a robot can't be any worse. Like becoming a "black dentist" is a common next step for people who get tired of being barbers.

As I wander around Melbourne, I wonder why they decided to crawl through charity shops, wearing whatever attached to them, proudly stating 'this is how I want to display myself to the world'.

It's still warm so clothing isn't too bad, but once it gets cold you see tuhao stuff like this all the time. One of the small pleasures of life here.

Dressing in China is simple because you just get into a closet, set off a grenade, and walk out in whatever stuck to you.

Just remember that if it's not July or August you better wear the thickest winter clothing available because anything less than 40+ means it's cold and as we all know cold weather equals having a cold.

What I like about Mainland male fashion is also what I like about the hair cuts: Four kinds only. DO NOT STRAY FROM THIS. ONLY DO WHAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE UGLY AND COMMON. My favorite thing about the guys in the above photos is that many of them use daddy's money to make sure to buy "authentic" versions, even though they are all still made in China. $600-1000 USD ugly shoes, $1200 USD ugly jackets, $160 USD ugly t-shirts, and a $15 USD ugly bowl cut for their heads. Don't forget the Harry Potter glasses. I've never seen such punchable faces, but it's hilarious to me that on trash subreddits like r/streetwear they idolize generic "I wear sporty clothes but am infinitely far from sporty" clothing that Chinese teens wear and look stupid in.

Those jackets are pretty tame compared to what my students used to wear. One kid came to school last year with a shirt that said WHAT IF WE hosed AT THIS VOGUE PARTY. Another managed to find and purchase pants with "baka" all over them.

To be fair, apart from the Nurglesque levels of hygiene, the experience with those guys beats everything I've encountered in the US.

My current dentist is trilingual and a dead ringer for Penelope Cruz. I saw her six months after a Korean dentist told me I had seven cavities (I KNEW I didn't, but...). She gave me an X-ray and told me that my teeth were perfect. Come to Spain for all your dental needs.

First day in China. We were at a shop and some guy just loving drives his scooter into the store. Like he drove it through the doors into the shop. The clerk and him exchange some words. I think I heard “no why” somewhere. We were at the hotel and my group wanted to take the stairs because I said a Chinese elevator has no safety regulations. Other than that, this place owns. Imagine an America where you can just drive your vehicles into shops.

The one thing I notice about mainlander fashion here at tourist sites in Europe is the BRIGHT FLUORESCENT CLOTHING. Not all of them wear it, but you can always spot a mainlander group from hundreds of metres away because half of them look like they just climbed out of a highlighter commercial

Huzhou would be one of my favorite places ever but for 4 things: People drive like assholes here. Like even for China, the rear end in a top hat driver level is atrocious. The air quality, while good for China, is still poo poo. There are hardly any muslims here, which means no halal food, which means the safest way to eat in China ain't happening. They speak an obscure local dialect which is not mutually intelligible with putonghua, and which I have basically no hope of learning. And their Putonghua accent is hard to get used to. The food thing bothers me; but the drivers really get under my skin. Like any time I step off the sidewalk (or walk on a sidewalk not lined with bollards, trees, or some other barrier) I am gripped by fear, eyes darting around like a meerkat. And all because maybe 20 percent of the drivers can't be hosed to follow the lines on the road, yield to anyone or anything, or slow down a little around pedestrians. The only good thing about Huzhou traffic is the number of traffic cops in this town and the frequency with which I see them doing their job (though it doesn't seem to be helping). chinese hair cave posted:We were at a shop and some guy just loving drives his scooter into the store.

We were at the hotel and my group wanted to take the stairs because I said a Chinese elevator has no safety regulations. The elevators in my building have inspection tags in them. I'll tell you if that weird sound the one on the right makes when it gets to the 3rd floor is fixed after the next inspection is due. I think that'll tell us whether you're right about that.

Black Market Dentist would be an awesome movie. "Leo is an unemployed 20-something living with his parents in a one-bedroom apartment in Chongqing. His life is playing phone games and yelling a lot, until one day, a magical pair of pruning shears falls into his lap..."

I went to the eye doctor the other day. Hadn't been in ages, my eyes have been bothering me...nothing wrong, probably just my glasses being too old and scratched, or maybe my eyes being too old. Anyway, they were looking at the inside of my eye, and the lady called over another eye doctor to look at me. My wife explained to me what they were so interested in. There wasn't anything wrong, they were just fascinated that with my blue eyes it was so much easier to see...I'm not entirely sure what, something back there on my retinas. Maybe the blood vessel pattern? Anyway, apparently they saw someone else earlier with light eyes who they were convinced had some sort of eye illness, and she was thinking maybe she'd been wrong. I guess she'd never actually seen anyone who didn't have dark brown eyes before.
