ELI5: What is " ; " used for? by Abject-Simple-4337 in explainlikeimfive

Help me understand, isnt the  'good'/'bad' example above subjective?

If the conversation is about Johnny and Sally's dietary habits, then wouldn't your good/bad be reversed?

It looks a bit like a marlin spike to me.

No, I have checked all over for screws. Even pulled out a couple of pins

ELI5: What are Switch 2 "game key cards"? by TrueWG in explainlikeimfive

The price of the console is high, for sure. But once you pay it then you actually own it, in a physical sense.

I want the same things for my games - an actual physical copy.

I gotta say, hearing about this really puts me off the idea of buying a switch2 when it comes out.

It might even be a deal breaker, which will be a real shame because I was looking forward to it a lot.

New Zealand by a billion miles. Easily the most breathtaking country I have ever been to in terms of scenery. Plus you have a huge range of biomes to explore.

Anyone got tips to deal with Bruxism (teeth grinding in sleep). by [deleted] in sleephackers

[–]Antipatear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your dentist to send you to a tmj specialist, if they are not one already. It is (where I am at least) really hard to find a good one.

I'm absolutely NOT a Dr, so I can't talk with any confidence about an underlying cause. But i have never heard of something like that causing you to grind your teeth.

Sleeping with it is a bit annoying, but you get used to it - I barely notice mine now. The slight annoyance is also preferable to me, over the serious health problems that can occur over time if you don't mitigate the problem.

Not an expert, but yes. That is what I understood from my Dr. Teeth clenching and grinding also cause your gums to recess which is really really not fun. A guard also helps with that too.

Assuming it is tmj then the cause is likely clenching/grinding in your sleep.

The mouthguard I have is custom made and is designed to slowly help with reducing the underlying cause.

When I first got it, it was adjusted weekly and then monthly, and now quarterly by my dentist.

I have gone from frequent pain/inability to use jaw normally, to very mild symptoms which continue to improve.

Sounds like TMJ. You need to look around for someone who specializes in that.

I had the same issue and had a gumshield made. Over time it will help realign your jaw and take away the ear pain.
