In Star Trek Prodigy the ship has an experimental drive that can zip around the galaxy in no time, so I guess they just needed a few years in an actual lab to study all their findings and make something stable. Aside from it exploding into a supernova if the drive's shield fails and causing temporal rifts, but it still works!

I have missing teeth and broken teeth but no pain at the moment and a dentist who will see me if I need her so aesthetics aside I'm all right. Wish they'd let me just give up and do dentures though!

My nan was from an era when having all your (remaining) teeth removed and a full set of dentures as a replacement was considered a good wedding present. She had all hers removed when she married at 25 (early 1930s).

Mr Phillby posted:Yeah i misunderstood the context on that one i thought he was calling everyone who posted about zach snyder negatively as being frothing mad? I used calm hittler as a shorthand for that kind of passive agreessive 'youre all totally mad but i am calm and normal about things' lol sorry no, I meant you - I don't know if you are "mad" but you (and others) made a weird post arguing against things no one said in a thread not about Zack Snyder. like how conservatives will apropos of nothing start ranting about the immigrants or health and safety or whatever bugbear they currently have. like how josh04 said in their joke about preparing for 10 pages of Snyder discourse because of one offhand snide comment. it's not the sort of thing people who aren't "mad" do for what it's worth I'm not calm. I'm mad about it, and more than that I'm tired. I'm so tired of people yelling about comic book movies. I'm tired of overblown nerd hyperbole. I'm tired of posts about a fairly standard mainstream action movie director appearing in threads that have nothing to do with him. I'm tired of people pretending they don't care about things. I'm tired of casual hostility. I'm tired of all these rebel moons

As depressing as it is, I really think dental insurance is a pretty worthwhile purchase these days. Of course, not everyone can afford it (especially those who might not need it the most), but you can get coverage for like £10-20 per month, and a lot of plans include 2x annual check ups and hygienist visits in that as well. It presents a fairly substantial moral quandary, because health insurers are the devil, but on the other hand the state isn't loving paying for it, so this feels like the least worst option if it's within your means. Now, which is my place against the wall?

smellmycheese posted:The last one of his I saw was the “Oceans 11 in Las Vegas but it’s full of zombies” which, on the face of it, is absolutely my poo poo, but which he managed to turn into a dull, tedious, flatulent slog It's also weird because in 2004 his Dawn of the Dead remake was actually pretty loving banging, but it's pretty much the only genuinely good movie of his I've seen (Watchmen was decent admittedly) Jaeluni Asjil posted:My nan was from an era when having all your (remaining) teeth removed and a full set of dentures as a replacement was considered a good wedding present. She had all hers removed when she married at 25 (early 1930s). My granny Sadie didn't get it as a wedding present but when she was pretty young (In her thirties I think?) a dentist just straight up recommended getting all her teeth out and having dentures. By the time I came along she was pretty resentful of this advice. I wrestled with some serious dental pain a couple of years ago when one of my teeth cracked down the middle, the dentist saw me pretty quickly and referred me to a clinic to have it extracted, and... that was it. Didn't hear anything else. Eventually called my dentist back up and they were like "Oh yeah no we send them the info then you contact them" like thanks I could have used that information several weeks previously. Once the thing was out I was stunned at what a difference it made; thankfully the bad tooth being one of the molars meant I had another side of the mouth I could use to keep the pain somewhat controlled, but I hadn't realized the constant dull ache was so... constant. Or debilitating.

You're right that private healthcare is the devil, but our shitheel government is kind of forcing everyone into a position where if you want to keep your teeth you sort of have to take it up. Like how medical insurance is even more evil, but the alternative is waiting a year for an exhausted resident to miss something on the scan because they've been awake for 26 hours, so you kind of have to take the evil option to not die.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Do they cover pre-existing conditions, or is it one of those 'we only insure you for things that are astronomically unlikely to actually happen' things. You'd have to look at policy docs I guess. I mean, if you already know you need a full set of fillings then you can't just pay your first £10 monthly premium and get them all done for free, but I guess if you get insured, go for a check up and THEN find out you need a full set of fillings then you're in luck. I don't know enough about how the industry works to understand how easy it would or wouldn't be to commit fraud (plz don't commit fraud).

Reveilled posted:Well, to post something that’s at least marginally on topic, I’m coming to the end of an ordeal which shattered what little faith I still had in NHS dentistry. Back in September I began experiencing massive, skull-splitting pain in one of my teeth. I tried to contact my NHS dentist, and nobody picked up. I left a message, nobody called back. I called multiple times over two days before finally getting through, only to be told the dentist had no appointments before the end of October! They referred me to their sister clinic who did see me that day, but they couldn’t see anything wrong. Ignored everything I had to say about the source of my pain, gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. So sorry this happened to you man. For me that’s one of the things that, as a reasonably privileged person (these days anyway), has been so jarring about the last few years - I can’t really access healthcare, how the gently caress does anyone who doesn’t have my privilege? Glad you found what you needed. I’d seriously recommend anyone to learn a bit of basic healthcare. How to treat a wound, a minor broken bone, a bad infection of the innards. I’ve lost hope for a better world to be honest. But I do intend that I and the people I care about will survive nonetheless, and that involves knowing how to do a few things that a British person 20 years ago would’ve had no reason to know.

Yeah, I never want to have to basically castaway myself again, but it’s disgusting that such things have become functionally necessary now, and I guess at least I know I have the fortitude to do it. It also honestly shocked me what a different world private medical care is. I can email my dentist and she gets back to me within a few hours, I can phone and be sure they’ll pick up because the dental nurse doesn’t pull double duty as a receptionist. I can go in for an appointment and it doesn’t feel like we’re on a tight schedule because there’s not enough hours in the day. That poo poo shouldn’t feel like a premium service but it bloody well does! I’d almost forgotten what good dentistry looked like.

Where roughly are you based? Because even my NHS dentist often has two dedicated receptionists and a dedicated nurse for each dentist. They are public-private mind you and I think like many their registers for NHS are full until more of the elderly patients pass away.

Folks, the vibes can only get better.quote:“It will feel different,” Starmer will say. “The character of politics will change, and with it the national mood. A collective breathing out, a burden lifted, and then, the space for a more hopeful look forward. Because the truth is, it’s this kind of politics and only this kind of politics that can offer real change.” quote:Senior Labour officials hope Starmer’s promise to lift the national mood will help dispel criticisms that the party is increasingly offering little in the way of more concrete change should it win the election. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/03/labour-election-win-would-lift-downtrodden-uk-keir-starmer-to-say Just by replacing the tories and existing as prime minister, Starmer thinks people will feel better.
