I have about 9 crowns currently, and my wife is a dental assistant with implant and surgery experience. I asked about this one time and got this explanation.
Implants are a highly invasive, long, and expensive process, like over 10k each expensive, and months of procedures and recovery. Granted, usually implants aren't done to healthy teeth, but they usually have to build up the bone material after extracting the tooth and let that heal, drill into the bone and set the post then let that heal, then fit the implant and adjust everything because your teeth have been moving while it's been healing.
One of the reasons the dentist doesn't want to just pull a tooth and do an implant is the even when root canaled, that tooth is a better support than the implant post would be, and the implant is a lot more work.
The process of fillings, then crown, then root canal and crown don't usually happen in sequence like that, and if you do preventative maintenance you can keep a tooth with a filling from ever needing to be crowned or root canal'd
You wanna know what's a hell of a lot cheaper and easier than getting any dental work? Flossing and brushing!
I have hated flossing my entire life because it hurts my fingers to wrap the floss enough not to slide, but a couple months back I discovered I could tie a figure 8 knot and make a loop to pull tension on and now find i can't stand the feeling of anything in-between my teeth so I end up flossing after every meal.
Moral of the story is: floss and brush your teeth and you won't need to worry about crowns or implants. Always before bed and especially after anything with sugar or starches
Its perfectly reasonable to acknowledge your ego and even fuel it at times, as long as you keep it in check and don't let it get inflated or "go to your head"
There's a difference between "I'm capable of doing anything I want to" and "it's acceptable for me to do anything I want"
A friend of mine introduced me to this channel and I love it. They do such amazing historical recreation of so many different aspects of pre-modern life. One of my favorites
It's about direction of rotation, does the wrench turn left or turn right, there isn't the same notion of up and down / in and out because that portion happens when the bolt or nut turns. Also, anything rotation is moving the opposite direction on the other side of the rotation, so if you have to tighten a screw that turns towards you it's the opposite
I remember having a demo for giants: citizen Kabuto, it was a weird and fun third person shooter. The thing I remember most is the initial quest giver guy and the way he would say "huuungry" something about it stuck in my brain
We found a used older one, used it just about daily for a couple years before my dumb ass left it in an oven that was too hot (some old ones only got to like 400F apparently) and caused a bunch of cracks. We messaged le cruset and after sending them some pictures and a sob story they sent us a brand new one.
Doesn't need to be a new one or le cruset, enameled cast iron is just nice generally in my experience
Simple and easy are not the same thing. Sure, enriching uranium is simple, you just centrifuge it so that the heavier, less stable isotopes separate from the bulk. Simple.
The reason it's relevant is that most working people do not earn salaries, they earn hourly rates. I'm a welding engineer earning a salary, working with maintenance men and welders and operators who all earn hourly rates. Every company I've ever worked for has both salary and hourly and also an HR department.
The situation you are describing does not align with the vast majority of working people's experiences.
Not defending either side, but how often do hourly employees get raises based on performance at your wife's company? You say performance should lead to salary increases, but what about the majority of people who only make hourly rates?
This seems really neat. So like when you shine light through things like water or glass or air the energy of the photons actually kinda get absorbed by the molecules and transmitted by them resulting in a slowing down a tiny bit, usually.
It seems like they may have found some combinations of photon wavelengths and atomic resonance frequency that results in speeding up a tiny bit instead of slowing down
On a related note three brown one blue has a neat video explaining what phase shifting is and kind of why it happens

Frost both sides?
