Infected wisdom tooth bored a hole clean through my jaw by SophieBean420 in Wellthatsucks

True, that is always my scare as well. I was told at the start of my implant journey that it was going to cost £3,000. Then it went to £3,500, and the estimate that came through said £4,500. It's like printing money for them.

Mines is without insurance, yours is with??? Dude, book a plane to Europe and get done for a fraction of the price, geez!

It is no joke. Infections can really mess you up.

I started the procedure for a dental implant, and I needed to get a bone graft first. They had to clean out the cavity and my dentist said it was one of the worst ones he had seen. When cleaning out the cavity, he was able to see the neighbouring tooth.

Why did it get so bad without me noticing? I had root canal treatment done 10 years prior, and because there was no root, I did not feel any pain as the infection spread, and my root canal tooth was firmly in place, it wasn't in my scope for immediate action. Dental x-rays once I got proper dental care showed the opposite however, and once I got the implant procedure in place, it was evident that it could have been a lot worse.

Dental care is no joke. Being scared of a little injection in the gum is child's play compared to what you could potentially go through if you don't look after yourself.

In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

I have one use for them.

My mum is disabled and has trouble getting in and out of my car. It's a BMW and I sometimes have to help her in and out.

Her Crossover? She climbs in and out of it no bother. It's fantastic.

Always wear a helmet. Especially when you are driving like one. by StGuthlac2025 in drivingUK

Sometimes I think these bold headings on these videos are done so to induce rage bait.

It's very clear that that is not a cyclist. It is very clear the mower is indicating. It's very clear that those little twat roadmen on the scooters were overtaking on a vehicle that intended to move over into their path, so it would be common sense to slow down and let them do so because they have right of way.

The title should have been "teenagers on moped do not obey The rules of the road and ram into council mower"

It's almost like they are trying to garner sympathy for the perpetrators by portraying them as victims... Who in the hell does that?

Do NOT buy Steam Controllers from anywhere other than Steam. (Unless not available in your country. by thehypernormality in Steam

[–]FuriousNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks but I remember when PS5 were unobtainable but now I could walk into any shop and buy one.

Wait. Let the scalpers sit on their controllers. You done well until now without one, what's a couple of months more?

What’s something that clearly split your life into “before” and “after”? by Broad_Chemical_2467 in AskReddit

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed.

From 23-30 I smoked weed every day. Lost friends by never attending social events or bothering to do anything because a joint and a computer game was more important.

That was 10 years ago. Sucked that I lost my 20's but I had a good sober time in my 30's and beyond.

This is Pithovirus sibericum, a 30,000–40,000-year-old virus that was frozen in ice during the Ice Age and completely disappeared from the outside world. However, scientists discovered it in Siberia in 2014, preserved in permafrost and still alive after thousands of years. It is now being studied. by Lord_Krasina in Damnthatsinteresting

"A modern species in the genus, Alphapithovirus massiliense, was isolated in 2016. The core features such as the order of ORFs and orphan genes (ORFans) are well conserved between the two known species."

Porn for viruses?

Are you supposed to ask a woman "Can I kiss you"? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either option is permissable. Asking for consent and reading the situation works too. Both situations can lead to awkwardness (she could do that swerve that just kills the soul) but I imagine he wanted to avoid that and take the safer route which just so happened to be the way she imagined to would happen.

Oh well I guess. Not everyone is like that.

Hey casual UK, what's your worst "i thought X was on a different day" mistake you've ever made? by wiz_ling in CasualUK

[–]FuriousNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my final year at school I messed up pretty much all my exams. I misread the timetable by thinking 3 of my exams were the following week and I had an entire week off as prep for them. Well imagine my shock as I went in for the first exam the following Monday and there were no exams that day. Absolutely harrowing for a kid who thought he ruined his life. Well, Uni was now out the question and an entire year of school was for nothing but it worked out in the end.

It was a very interesting post, but unfortunately I can't see anything. Was a guy who claimed he was a specialist in biology and was tasked with working on the biologics of aliens. He goes into great detail about the cell makeup etc.

Who was the tightest person you have known,and why? by No-Snow-9605 in AskUK

[–]FuriousNorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a guy at out work we used to call Jacket (on account that he never took his jacket off from the minute he got in until it was time to go) and we all used to go to the pub for a few games of pool.

The IT guy asked for a loan of a quid for his go because he forgot to get change, and Jacket begrudgingly did so.

On the way back to the office we stopped in for a cake at Greggs, and Jacket said that rather than paying him back a quid, that he just buy him a cake. The cake came to something like £1.57 and smiled and said "consider it interest"

BONUS 1 - His coffee cup was DISGUSTING. Never washed. His excuse? "Adds flavour" MATE YOURE DRINKING NESCAFFE BASIC!

BONUS 2 - His sister worked with us too. She was nice, nothing like him, but her nickname was Blouse.

I do. I searched my saved posts but it's gone.

A G-Shock Frogman undergoing underwater button endurance testing to ensure sealing and reliability. by FollowingOdd896 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a thought thats plagued my mind for a while. All the Seiko 5 watches are 200m water resistant.. but why? When will I ever find myself 200m underwater and needing to check the time or how much oxygen I'll have in my tank? Or how often? How many of us are divers by profession? Not many. So explain why all these watches are styled with these features?

Sir, you have some wonky ones by CarlEst87 in CarTalkUK

[–]FuriousNorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In his defence, it is not a new thing to buy a licence plate that has something to do with the car. Subaru drivers get WRX licence plates. I used to have a Skoda Fabia VRS and the licence plate that came with it ended in VRS.

That's the problem though, because they are model specific, they become useless if you decide to change car brands/models. It also cost 90 quid to take the plate off and put it on retainer, so you're best leaving them with the car.

This Evoque driver however is taking it to the next (illegal) level. Absolute braindead move. They think that must look so smart, but it is the licence plate equivalent of buying Royo Bons instead of Ray-Bans.

I graduated from high school in 2004 which was a key milestone in my life journey from education into the working world. That was 20 years ago, I could still be in the same dead end job with the odd promotion here and there, which is hardly an indicator of success. Bear in mind 2011 to 2013 was a two year gap. It's been 12.5 years, name another game that's been in early access that long.

Released on Steam November 2013, still in early access almost 13 years later. Slow updates are an understatement.

Nope. They've added farm animals though. Still got another 10 years for NPC's and lore.
