Crazy how in the other place threads about world events get swarmed overnight when most of us are asleep. Really makes you think.
I notice that here too, which really annoys me. I understand it a little bit more on Reddit, but it pisses me off so much when there’s an article from abc.net.au posted in c/AustralianNews@aussie.zone and half the comments are just Americans being confused.
I guess that’s the one positive of the week long federation delays with Lemmy World - most of the Americans are segregated into their own isolated cosm for about a week until it federates over here
Crazy tooth pain tuesday night, saw my dentist yesterday, tooth extracted (2nd one in 2 months but it had to go), today is pretty much pain free with like no soreness in my gums or jaw. I’m glad, but also odd.
yikes! Not ideal. I had a mate describe a root canal as the worst pain he’s ever experienced. Takes his dental hygiene VERY seriously now.
I have never felt pain as bad as tooth pain. Last time I was lying down on the floor at the dentist in tears waiting to see the dentist. Fucking awful shit.
I can assure you a ruptured ovarian cyst is worse in the instant, but it goes away. As do kidney stones. Dental stuff drags on and on. Much worse than single shot near crits.
This was going to be either a root canal (got quoted 3k for it) or a pull. I opted for the pull as it’s instant and about 1/10 of the price.
Interestingly enough, I brush twice a day, floss daily, avoid sugary shit etc. Sometimes it’s just genetic unfortunately. I inherited my dad’s crappy teeth instead of my mum’s.
If it’s not your up front business teeth, I reckon you can get away with missing a few.
Yeah it was a back one. Apart from a few wisdom ones it’s the only one that’s been removed.
Partner has hyperdontia, aka Sharkmouth. Genetic and apparently a generation skipper. Losing a bunch of teeth to several violent things turned out cosmetically better?!?!
My wife has that!! She had some removed in her early 20s (jaw was too small) before her wisdom teeth grew in. She got those out about 15 years ago. All up she still has more teeth than me and has had like 6 or 7 removed.
Crazy
If patterns fall your grandkids will be fine and the next lot be very expensive. Apparently his Pop could stop a bar fight by smiling.
damn! So do you have to get a replacement? Or can you work with the teeth you have?
Plenty of teeth left still :) One day I’ll to SE Asia and do a full rebuild. The one that was pulled a few months back was a wisdom, so no real loss there
I just realised I have had my car 18 years. Am I supposed to throw it a big party or something?
Has it had its driveshaft greased yet? There are paid services for that
if you like it? get a cut/polish and maybe a ceramic coat. It’ll last longer that way.
Considering my usual standard of care the shock from that sort of treatment might be too much for it. Maybe just a wash. Or more realistically maybe I’ll get around to brushing the cobwebs off the side mirror 🤣
Oooo. We should have a joint 18th. Take them down to the servo, fill them up. It’ll be an expensive night.
My 40yo car could chaperone.
My 7yo car could sit in the corner playing its Switch and complaining that it wants to go home.
Kick it out of the house and turn the garage/parking space into a pool room.
Registered it to vote?
I’ve got a crusty nose. I don’t know if I’ve sandpapered skin off or it’s dried smeared snot.
Crusty means you’re at the arse end of it :)
Hallelujah
Noice! A free salty snack for later!
Perfect for fixing an undersalted lunch
You’ve just grossed me out more than anyone else on Lemmy has - congratulations!
Thank you, that’s quite enough
These boogies are making me thirsty.
brrrrr
Temperature’s warmer than yesterday by a couple of degrees but it seems colder. 🥶
Looking at my energy usage it’s clear my hot water system is the biggest user of energy.
Electric heat pump unit. My usage went from $$$ (old gas guzzling unit) to peanuts. Pays itself off very quickly and there was a government rebate for switching.
My landlord is actually really good. House is pretty shit but he’s a really chill guy. Feel pretty lucky. I wish I could transport this place about 10kms closer to the city.
Just an update again from earlier.
Good news and bad news….fuck.
A mechanic near me can do the replacement work for 30 dollars unless something unusual happens and he takes longer it’ll cost more.
Bad news is that after I got home I checked my headlights and the smaller one on the opposite side is not working either.
No idea at the moment how much it’ll all cost but this isn’t looking good and there’s also a chance that all 4 lights need to be replaced.
No idea now but I’ll have to wait till I get paid next week since the costs will likely blow out when I have time off to deal with this but I’ll check with them tomorrow to see what they think and if they have stock of the globes.
Why did I book my flight for later this afternoon? I’d be in Melbourne by now if I went early.
It’s f’ing cold here though. I’d be waiting till it warms up.
Probably warmer than Tassie.
But not as warm as Cairns
but not as pretty
I just bought a bath sheet (did you know large towels are called bath sheets?) for $60 💀
Semi related…I heard a random ad on a podcast today saying that a cup of vinegar in the wash is better than fabric softener. I don’t use fabric softener, but I don’t know where I want to test the vinegar thing…you know, in case the towels come out smelling like vinegar…?
Surprisingly, no. You can’t smell the vinegar, even with excessive amounts.
I personally wouldn’t use a whole cup full, but it’s fantastic for getting funky smells out of things
nope, it gets washed out in the rinse. I always fill the softener in my top loader with white vinegar.
They don’t. Add to the rinse water, and the smell is gone by the time the spin cycle has finished. I second this hack - vinegar does wonderful things to hair as a rinse too. Unless your hair is coloured, where a vinegar rinse wouldn’t help at all. Mine isn’t coloured, so I rinse with a generous tablespoon of vinegar to 1 litre of water after shampooing, and don’t need conditioner. At first you notice the smell, but it’s gone in 5 minutes. The mild acid neutralises the soap part of washing powder and hair shampoo.
Silly question but do you add vinegar with the detergent liquid at the start?
In the rinse, where you’d traditionally put fabric softener.
i bought some moss river ones about 10 years ago, $120 each, they are still good after much use👍
Ooh that gives me hope. I got mine from Harris Scarfe (someone from either here or Reddit recommended getting one from there). I love it because it’s so big and cushy and soft 🥰
same
Argh, the last thing I need. One of my headlight globes aren’t working and I need it replaced :(
Winter solstice, time to burn stuff and make a joyful noise
I thought it was 6:50 am tomorrow? Either way burn all the bad out of the year 🔥🌓🔥
6:50am is an impractical time for campfires though, I hope to be snoring 😴
Good aussie tradition that. Burn shit in a drum.
Jelly. I love a nice toasty fire
Now this hotel doesn’t have very good soundproofing (at this point I don’t believe any building in Australia does) and I can hear everything happening in the hallway and the rooms next to me. BUT I’ve got a splitty in my room and I set it to come on if it goes under 19 and this is great. So much easier to wake up when it’s not like 5° in your room
I still couldn’t get a very good sleep though. Dozed off again at 5:30 or so and woke up again now. But tonight I’ll have a better sleep
Poo. Still positive.
Jeez. How long has it been?
Eleven days since I tested, twelve since the symptoms hit. Spoke to the nurse at my practice and she said it’s not surprising as I’ve still got symptoms, and this variant tends to linger, but if I’m still coughing next week give them a call and they’ll reevaluate.
I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to do those tests… :|
Gee, so that’s why the swab made me wince … ;)
Just made myself a cup of tea and ensconced in the oodie. Back to work
I live in mine now. It just automatically goes over the top after I dress.
