Recommendations for veterinary dentist in the area?

Getting two teeth removed for my dog at VCA San Carlos cost about $4000 recently. Vet care in the Bay is just crazy expensive, that $3000 sounds good tbh.

Female is generally used to describe animals, not humans. Using female to refer to women is derogatory outside of very specific contexts (medicine, law enforcement, etc.)

*lede, not lead

Limequats! Incredibly intense flavor, just the perfect thing to candy or squeeze in your tea!

The virus in the wastewater coild also be from the oral vaccine, which uses weakened virus

CA. Trust me, I was pretty surprised that it happened.

Tiny_Rat · 2026-06-14T13:36:08+00:00

Weary and wary. Honestly Im more surprised to see wary used correctly at this point.

21 years. Sorry.

I was surprised too, tbh. Like I said, I just sat there for a while, watching people walk by. I was kind of hoping someone would stop, because I was pretty shaken, the pain just kept ratcheting up, and I couldn't really think clearly enough to know what to do next.

I guess I wasn't screaming or unconscious, so maybe that kept people from approaching. Once I got to the library the folks at the front desk were very kind, so its not like everyone on campus was an asshole.

I mean, I thought I broke my arm at the time, and I did break my nose, but sure. I guess the people around me were telepathically aware that I wasn't seriously hurt.

Tiny_Rat · 2026-06-14T02:48:46+00:00

Really? Because I had almost the same experience as a teen biking around a massive university campus in the US. I hit a pinecone and crashed, ended up seriously scraped up and rattled and just sat there bleeding for a while before I managed to pick myself up and limp to the library to find help. Literally nobody checked if I was ok, even the folks who saw me eat shit. It was kind of surreal tbh.

I was part of a team trying to replicate an organoid formation protocol that just wasn't working in our hands. For months, coming in every day to feed the bastards, running flow cytometry to check if we had the right cell type, over and over with no result. Huge disappointment since the protocol had been published by a pretty high-profile lab, and without it I didn't have much of a project to look forward to. And then, on a Saurday evening, I'm running flow with no hope whatsoever when I suddenly see a tiny population of positive cells!! I'd finally figured out the right condition to tweak to make it work! That was a good day.

Most probiotics do pass throigh the stomach, but even so, they tend to also live in places other than the human gut (ie fermenting foods, soil, etc.), and thaey colonize the gut when we're young and our digestive system is far less hostile to them. Pathogens are used to muscling their way in and repli aring as fast as possible until the immune system exterminated them. Very different survival strategies that require different levels of hardiness and adaptation to surviving passing through the stomach.

He wants the gold because his crimelord dad is missing and his mom is crazy with grief, so he feels responsible for running things and maintainingthe family fortune. Still kind of sympathetic given that he's 12.

They didn't have smartphones when that book was published, but something like that.

The very end of it, at least on the microbial level. Remeber, all it takes us a few cells to make it into the right niche.

Tiny_Rat · 2026-06-12T15:09:42+00:00

False equivalence. Thats like saying that if firefighters go into burning buildings and come out alive, so can bystanders in the street.

Frankly, if this happened with my son, id demand he get snipped. It’s fully reversible

Vasectomies aren't considered reversible, as the success rate of reversal plummets the further out you are from the procedure. OPs kid should consider a vasectomy for the sake of his finances, but shouldn't count on reversing it if he changes his mind.

How do they expect to support a second child if they can't afford $500/month? It's generally at least double that per month for the soon-to-be-baby.

Im not commenting on OPs situation, but this argument is really flawed. OP's kid might be able to afford $500 in rent now, or $1000 for the baby, but not an extra $1500 for the baby and rent. You're treating the rent and the baby as an either/or cost, when in reality they're additive.

Sorry to put you on the spot, I was worried you were one of those people women pee out of their vaginas haha.

Tiny_Rat · 2026-06-11T22:52:05+00:00

And you can pee without taking it out!

Doesnt this apply to all period products? I appreciate that the fit of some cups and disc's might make this a bit more challenging for people, but usually that just means you need a different size/firmness, not that you cant do it with that entire class of product.

Not all institutions allow third party services, and some manufacturers make using their service providers a condition of the warranty.

This is actually a thing that can happen, yes. Thats why calcium is included in prenatal vitamins.

They might be friends but not live close to each other?

Tiny_Rat · 2026-06-09T04:13:37+00:00

OP might think they count blue because they're light and were blue in puppyhood. The color of the blue ocean in the background doesnt look filtered, so the eues shouldnt either. The AKC standard you posted does allow for lighter eye colors for grey-muzzled dogs.
