Dental pain is awful beyond words. I nth the recommendation of an electric toothbrush for anyone who doesn't have one, mine has made so much difference to my teeth and gums. I wanna get one of those waterpik things too but reviews say the cordless ones seem to die after 1 year. The last time I went to an emergency dentist they did a temporary filling and told me to register with a dentist and get it sorted... I couldn't afford dental treatment at the time and trying to find an NHS dentist round here is a battle and a half. I've since been told that I'll probably need a root canal on that tooth at some point, though it's not causing problems just yet so it's hanging on in there (thankfully my disability benefits cover NHS dental treatment, otherwise I still wouldn't be able to afford to see a dentist - but my friend on National Insurance Contribution-based disability has to pay for hers, which is ridiculous). Edit: Oh no, page snipe! Uh, in the year 255, Ma Jun, a Chinese mechanical engineer from Cao Wei, invents the south-pointing chariot, a path-finding directional compass vehicle that uses a differential gear, not magnetics.

Guavanaut posted:Yeah it's dumb as poo poo, and there should be a moratorium on making more of them until we've got the main issues figured out. Not only the physical ones like the food hole and the water hole also being the air hole That's an interesting one, I think. Yes, it's impractical and brings a constant risk of discomfort or death when we eat or drink to survive, but without that particular piece of lovely engineering, would we be able to talk? Lips and tongues presumably evolved originally to manipulate food and non-food stuff. Since air comes out of the same hole, they can manipulate its flow. And many animals have developed yelling as a useful strategy. Certainly there are further requirements for complex modulations of sound (for example, a lack of fine control over their intercostal muscles prevents the great apes from talking like us), but screaming through your food hole seems like a pretty fundamental step. Without that, would we have developed language? And without language would we have developed cooperation, trade, or technological progress? Or bigger brains? I think that without our lovely dangerous food holes we might be just another animal, rather than the hubristic destroyers of our own environment that we have become

I've always found electric toothbrushes make my mouth feel less clean than scrubbing with a regular one. Am I doing it wrong??

I hate not having my electric toothbrush because my teeth just don't feel as clean when I use a manual one. You shouldn't scrub hard. It's bad for your gums. Flossing daily is v important imo. There is a tell-tale odour that is emitted from the mouths of people who don't floss enough or possibly at all and it always makes me want to gag :/

Azza Bamboo posted:I feel like attempts at academic intelligence or even emotional intelligence are a distraction from doing the practical poo poo that needs doing on the ground. Whether you're doing it for the bottom line or doing it out of compassion for mankind, you still need an army of people laying the literal foundations and the literal bricks, and that work is arduous and it's a labour to those who carry it out. You can break down gender roles, but someone somewhere doing the real work will be expected by the practical reality of the requirement for human labour to toughen up and swallow their disproportionate share of the world's burdens. Whether it's masculine or attributed otherwise than gender, there needs to be recognition for those who do actually toughen up and get poo poo done. I don't really think work needs people to be assholes. If work encourages you to be an rear end in a top hat then either your job is being an rear end in a top hat and shouldn't exist, or your work environment is bad and should be changed.

Guavanaut posted:Maggots breathe through spiracles at their arse end to allow them to breathe while burrowing face down in carrion. It's feasible that we could have evolved language by modulating our anal sphincter while farting wildly. Yes, I did think of that, but would it be as complex and potentially beautiful as our languages have become? What would our fartsongs sound like?

CBI public questions asked Corbyn about anti-Semitism, and asked how he can assure people that Labour are not the party of "for the many, not the Jew." Can't actually tell if the questioner was hostile or trying to give him a chance to set the record straight. Corbyn gave a bit of a cookie-cutter answer, don't think it was a solid quashing of the perception of him.

Where did "assholes" come into this? Surely the rear end in a top hat isn't the guy doing the needed work and feeling rightly like the time will never be given back to them. Surely the rear end in a top hat is the person writing a book on motivational techniques like that'll make this all better.

I would be inclined to suggest that someone who views work and emotional development/empathy as mutually exclusive is kind of an rear end in a top hat.

Isn't it incumbent on the Government of the day to take royals to task mover something like Andrew? I mean, they packed the King off to France with his horse faced missus, and that was NOWHERE as serious as this. I mean when Andy was jetting round the world, how does anyone know if he had underaged girls delivered to him? Yes, I incontravertably believe he is guilty as gently caress.
