I've noticed alot of 'secure' websites have been really slow for me lately-my Wells Fargo and capitalone credit card pages, now the AT&T website where I pay my bill. I'm using chrome on desktop, I think uBlock Origin is the only extension I'm really running. Is this a chrome problem or an extension problem or an internet connection problem or problem on the website end?

Try going to one of those sites in a private browsing window and see if things go back to normal.

If it had been that would mean clearing the cookies/cache or disabling some apps might fix it.

When I was 18, I needed braces and my orthodontist removed four of my normal molars to make space in my mouth for the rearranging of my teeth. At the time, my wisdom teeth were just on the verge of erupting, but they were still mostly covered by gum. I am now 30 years old and I have been to multiple dental checkups, and the resounding consensus has been "We need to remove your wisdom teeth as they will just cause issues down the line". My question to anyone familiar with dental work, why the hell did my orthodontist at 18 not just remove my drat wisdom teeth to make space? Why remove 4 perfectly normal and healthy molars? Now the prospect of removing 4 wisdom teeth makes me feel like I'm just getting rid of poo poo that I could have avoided, especially when it comes to something as important as teeth. Maybe my orthodontist was bad at his job, because ever since I got braces, my jaw has always clicked and clacked on the right side whenever chewing. It's like there's a minor misalignment or something.

ok, i'm a complete tax idiot, so please explain how this works. i just did the tax withholding calculator on the irs site. given my current income and current withholding settings, it said i would receive a refund of $7k. cool, but i'd rather have that $7 split up in my paychecks throughout the rest of the year, so i told it i want a $0 'refund'. it then told me i needed to withhold an extra amount by adding a number in line 4c. line 4c is where you put 'extra withholding'. so i guess i'm confused here? if i'm projected to receive a $7k refund, but ideally neither want to owe nor receive a refund, doesn't that mean i should receive more cash per paycheck, thus meaning my employer should withhold less for taxes? why am i telling them to withhold more? wouldn't them taking more withholdings for taxes ultimately increase my refund next year? am i simply misunderstanding what withholdings actually do? abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 07:01 on May 11, 2023 |

At the time, my wisdom teeth were just on the verge of erupting, but they were still mostly covered by gum. If they were still covered in gum it would have been way more traumatic to remove them. Having had my two upper wisdom teeth removed in my late 20s it was bad enough then, and they had fully exposed from the gum. My lower two are still enclosed and they are staying put, thankyouverymuch.

Now the prospect of removing 4 wisdom teeth makes me feel like I'm just getting rid of poo poo that I could have avoided, especially when it comes to something as important as teeth. I'm not an expert but I did have 4 unexposed wisdom teeth removed and it was basically surgery with a long-ish recovery period. So maybe the orthodontist couldn't do that. They would have to refer you to an oral surgeon, it might be really expensive depending on your insurance, and you'd be out of commission for several days. Also, I'm not even sure if the part of the jaw where wisdom teeth are is suitable space for usable molars. Now, like I said, I'm not an expert so maybe they were just a hack. But I could be convinced that removing wisdom to make room for braces would either be needlessly complicated or it might not make room where it's needed.

That said I've had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 13 for braces + lower jaw surgery. The wisdom teeth were still just little tooth nuggets in my jaw bone and they had a procedure where I was properly sedated for an afternoon to get them out.

Like hotcakes could be like an inch thick or whatever, and I feel like it's usually hotcakes that are the thicker ones if someone was going to make a distinction.

The easiest way I've found is to build a custom search engine with -site:pinterest.com repeated as necessary with sites. It's bit of a hack but it works.

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results is the name of a browser add-on that does what it says. Infuriatingly the same add-on for Firefox is technically called Block or Highlight Search Engine Results on the website but uses the other name internally. You can also grey out undesirable domains instead of disappearing them.

So I just got charged $7 for some moron to wipe paint thinner on my car to remove a (what I thought was) a scratch someone had left from banging their door hard into the side of my car. The guy finessed me and said he'd "polish" out the scratch, and that it costs $7. I figured fair enough, paid it, and then saw the guy wiping the 'scratch' mark off with a cotton pad. I told him to stop and had a whiff of the thing he was wiping on my car, then asked him if it was the same thing women use to remove nail polish. He said no. To cut a long story short, the Middle East is stupid, and did I just pay $7 to have some guy wipe a surface stain off of my car body with paint thinner (it was actually paint thinner, I checked) that will damage the actual body paint of my car? Or do cars have a strong outer coating? Feeling like a moron myself tbh

The guy who did it is obviously smarter than you since he both saw the nature of the scratch, and what you'd pay. But then again, not that smart, since he didn't have the good sense to tell you to come back in half an our. In Europe or North America, they would have done the 'repair' out of sight. And charged A LOT more for it

I really don't think it's common practice in Europe or America to apply paint thinner to someone's car to remove leftover paint from someone slamming their door into your car body. They would have taken the extra effort route and buffed it out or something. poo poo, I wish I took the extra five minutes to try and buff it out myself, instead of expecting any better from a garage. Or better yet, I could have bought paint thinner for $1 and damaged the car myself. The Middle East is stupid, there's a million little businesses that are run with borderline slave-labour. Professionalism and expertise is akin to a myth here. Why pay extra money to an employee who is properly versed in his line of work when you can just hire someone with almost zero experience to do a bunch of dodgy work and pay him peanuts each month, as long as it means more money is funneled to your own pockets. I'm not even miffed over the $7 charge, that'll cover the guy's lunch for the next few days. I'm miffed that he did something damaging to the car. PS: I'm a Middle Easterner and the Middle East is stupid, or at least this particular corrupt and third world Gulf country is.

I can't comment on the nature of this scam, but I had a buddy get some rust off of my car with acetone (the active stuff in nail polish remover) and the paint was fine. I don't know why I feel compelled to mention this every time the word acetone come up, but acetone dissolves superglue, so if you superglue your fingers together just track down someone with nail polish remover instead of freaking out and going to the hospital.

'cause that one's no good, they let webpages pay money to get themselves off their adblock list which defeats the entire point. "uBlock Origin" is what I use and it's still working fine for Youtube for me.
