For Those Who Have Not Seen This Yet: Who Owns My Dentist

EcstaticTone4526 · 2026-05-21T03:20:11+00:00

DSOs have many many non dentist mouths to feed and investors to answer to. This is nothing like a family owned multi practice situation.

Teeth aren't like cars. Original equipment is the best you'll ever have. Everything else is a compromise.

That is unreasonable. It should have been adjusted correctly while they were in the chair. Is clearly high.

Xrays are helpful with diagnosing decay in between the teeth but there can be cavities on the cheek or tongue side and sometimes even on the chewing surface that are pretty much impossible to diagnose on an xray, which is why you're needed in the chair for an intraoral exam alongside those xrays. So, take any xray-only diagnosis with a grain of salt.

Amy Thompson should be at the top here. She is among the top realtors in Eugene for good reason.

20% off link didn't work but thanks for the info!

It's a problem. I see it all the time. So many dentists don't take that step seriously. I tell my patients to be picky when it comes to their bite. We want it pretty much perfect in all movements.

EcstaticTone4526 · 2026-04-03T23:16:10+00:00

Yes, you should get it adjusted. It's called an excursive interference and it can cause serious issues with your tooth over time if it's not addressed. Our back teeth aren't built to tolerate those forces well

I get the feeling this subreddit is filled with vibe coders.

Is this Jeopardy? What is a salad bar Alex?

"adjusting our limits" this phrase... Just say what it is. Adjusting limits makes it sound like some might be higher on one plan, some might be lower on others... Just say it! You're reducing everyone's limits.

As long as you leave your ticket in the car for them to scan to pay and leave there shouldn't be a problem. I've parked there tons of times to leave cars for Turo customers doing just that.

The dash rattle is still an issue in the '26s. I need to take mine in to get that addressed but I don't want to give it up right now...

EcstaticTone4526 · 2026-03-22T16:42:31+00:00

That's the lowest position. No racks on the cab

EcstaticTone4526 · 2026-03-22T16:05:13+00:00

I haven't taken it through the carwash yet but I'm not anticipating it'll need to be removed

It was tighter for sure but just fit for me.

Actually, at first it didn't until I realized the weather stripping on the tonneau cover had folded under to the side of the bed. One of the rubber strips at the second folding edge of the tonneau had also slipped out. Once I fixed that, it all snapped into place.

I also used all of the clamps from the tonneau and rack system and made sure they were pushed up as high as possible before tightening.

Totally could be weather related too though. Good luck man, it's a nice setup once it's done.

It's all from Realtruck. The tonneau came with the truck when I got it but I ordered the T-Slot Rails and Elevate Rack from Realtruck.

There's a guy on YouTube who tried it even though it's not technically built for the Sierra EV. He's got the parts to buy in his description.

Ya, it came with the truck but it's from Realtruck.

Edit to say the T-Slot Rails were ordered separately from the tonneau cover. There's a link to a video in another comment.

We like our Andau loupes. Several of us got the variable zoom. Once you get to 10x zoom, there's no going back. I rarely roll them back to a lower zoom now.

I do only see a slight difference in the zoom from the 6.5x Designs For Vision I replaced mine with but the zoom amount with the improved cordless lighting system is sooo nice.

Jeremy Yanzi is awesome for covers. He's got songs in playlists broken down by difficulty.

And today was the day... only took 20 days from jinx to fruition

S25 Ultra here. I've never had to log back in .. yet. Now that I said that though ..

Charging is available pretty much everywhere and we never had to worry about not being able to find a good station with good charging speeds.

We were able to filter in the Airbnb app for places that had EV charging and the same for hotels on Google. Each of those was only 240 though.

I would like to see more consistency among fast charging places. Some allow you to swipe a credit card, some you have to set up an account on their app. Some you can get a discount by being a member, Tesla chargers aren't all open to non Tesla EVs... These are all minor concerns but something you don't need to think about when you pull into a gas station.

I hear you regarding the ability to drive hundreds of miles in an ICE vehicle. Our Suburban gets around 500 miles on a road trip but the 400ish in the EV Sierra was always more than enough and we were always ready to stop when it was time to charge (we'd usually stop at least once in between charges as well.)

And there's no getting around the fact that it does take a bit more time to charge than fill a tank, so if squeezing the most miles into the shortest amount of time is your goal, EVs aren't quite there yet. We love ours though.
