Australians left with rotting teeth, unable to smile in 'completely unaffordable' dental system

    I thought about this recently. I live in Australia. For the first 30 years of my life I didn’t look after my teeth properly.

    Now I’ve got a really good oral hygiene routine with flossing, interdental brushes and a good quality mouthwash. I went through my routine one night last week and thought about how much better my gums were and how few problems I had with my oral health. I used to have frequent ulcers and permanent gingivitis.

    As great as I felt knowing I’ve gotten on top of it, I feel terrible. I’m fortunate in that I can afford to spend 20 dollars a month on interdental brushes. Another 5 on floss. Another 10 on mouthwash. The $200 electric toothbrush that makes it easy to get a really solid clean.

    Like what the fk man? Taking care of my teeth is not only going to have massive positive health impacts on me, but there would be huge cost savings for the government who only seem to intervene and pay up when it’s too late and you need hospital care for whatever eventuality comes.

    A significant portion of the country skip meals in order to pay rent. They certainly don’t have that kind of money to spend to maintain there teeth, as well as any kids in the house.

    Oral hygiene products should really be subsidised for low income families.

  • American XL bully dogs to be banned after attacks, Rishi Sunak says

    Here ya go. I spent 7 years in the military as a dog handler with two different malinois during that time.

    I then got out and worked for a government agency investigating dog attacks.

    One of the first jobs across my desk was… an American Bully XL. Almost killed another dog and sent a male person to the hospital. The dog was from an upper class family and was around little children daily.

    We had 7 dogs that we had confiscated, pending court hearing regarding attacks.

    7 out of 7 dogs were bully breed dogs.

    In my experience I will not trust a bully breed dog in any circumstance. I’d take a malinois any day over a bully breed dog.

    What’s a bet one of his employees is struggling to put food on the table for his kids.

    This is one of those moments where a bit of humanity could have really improved someone’s life but instead this cunts ego got hurt over some chips

    You’ve paid for the right to watch the movie. The movie industry will argue that you’ve just paid for the right to access that physical copy and I’m sure from a legal point of view they’re right as they’ve lobbied to increase control out of greed and the hope of being able to get more money out of you for the same effort.

    Morally you paid to access the content, you paid to compensate the creators for their work. Now you’re entitled to view what you’ve paid for.

    I don’t see this ever being a hard hitter in the gaming space.

    The thing that intrigues me about the vision pro is the movie experience. If it can end up being an imax level experience at home then there’s value there. Just not at the current price…

    Yeh I’m similar. I’ve found that yeh it looks a bit better but at 10x the storage it starts being really cost prohibitive for a small benefit.

    On a side note, I’ve got the server up and running and it crushes 1080p. No performance issues at all.

    Absolutely insane from a 7.5w TDP cpu. Seven POINT five watt.

    Ooooh.

    I’ve just spent the day installing Synology DSM on a passively cooled micro pc with a Pentium N3510 and 4gb of ram.

    I haven’t had a chance to test performance yet. Certainly not 4K capable but that’s okay. If it can handle 1080p I’ll mark it a win.

    Sonarr and Radarr in dockers on DSM.

    12tb USB attached HDD.

    I’m not sure if this will be a permanent setup. Will depend what the 1080p performance is like.

    But I had the box sitting in the cupboard and I’m really keen to cut ties with streaming services

    It is a bug. It didn’t put me in a different instance. It changed my world tier as you can see on the right. I was the party leader. Set to world tier 4 prior to the event. And then changed me to wt3 After the event.

    Sure ETSI are responsible for the encryption standard.

    And Motorola is free to use that standard on radio handsets made with components of ITAR controlled items.

    The use of any component controlled via ITAR will have the entire unit controlled.

    Having used a Motorola product covered by ITAR on “the wrong continent” many times.

    Bingo. All of these technologies are controlled by ITAR.

    I have zero doubt this was for clandestine use internationally and it was almost inevitable. Outside of a back-door there is no way you’re getting access to properly encrypted net with some of the higher end technologies.

    Thanks mate. I really appreciate your time. I hope I get to see quantum computing be in practical use in my lifetime.

    It’ll be insane to see where “AI” and quantum computing lead us. Folding at home was always really interesting to me, and I could imagine a machine learning platform combined with the massive increase in compute power could solve so many biomedical problems.

  • Healthy gums don’t bleed, and are not painful to floss at all. I’m in my 30s and only recently learned flossing technique and got my gums healthy. Flossing used to take so long and always involved a lot of bleeding no matter how delicate I was. These days I’m absolute savage with floss and interdental brushes and never have any blood or pain. Once you get your gums healthy you’ll be disgusted at yourself for ever not flossing. The amount of disgusting I can floss out on an almost daily basis is insane. Plus you’re breath will not smell gross anymore. It’s worth committing to the habit of flossing. Trust me.
