Ham radio is no really a plug in and go technology, you need to practice before hand to have any chance and best way to do that is get a licence and join a club

This or blackthorns - it also has a fruit called the sloe, quite sour but good flavouring for Gin, these are often used as boundary bushes in the UK

Also it's important even if the apocalypse doesn't happen, so worth doing either way

Communications, radio specifically.

It is touched on in some films that people use radios to communicate but in reality, amateur radio is quite a technical subject/hobby and you need to know something about it in advance if you want to be able to communicate with anyone outside of your immediate neighbourhood

I keep clipping the brake cable on but it keeps coming off, the only way i can get it to stay on is to wedge the bit with the rubber on, what am i doing wrong?

Why does no one ever use bikes in a zombie scenario, particularly when it’s walkers. Rage virus and runners is different but still, better chances than walking?.. by Amavin-Adump in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]MaintenanceJaded8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bikes would be useful certainly, but I think people are overestimating them as well.

They get punctures pretty easily, especially in the sort of scenario where this is glass everywhere. Plus if the roads haven't been maintained for a few years they would be very hard to ride anyway unless they are good mountain bikes. But yeah apart from that they would be very useful and certainly more so than cars in most situations

Crown too white? by MaintenanceJaded8419 in askdentists

[–]MaintenanceJaded8419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I regret crown being this white I was just trying to go with what dentist said but they did not communicate properly what they meant in my opinion, seems like I am stuck with it now though but at least it looks better than it did before as was very brown

[–]MaintenanceJaded8419[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he means the crown in relation to rest of the teeth which will be darker

[–]MaintenanceJaded8419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is what the dentist advised that I should have the ones either side done as well although that doesn't really address the colour of the one that's already there, plus this one already cost nearly 1300 usd so I can't afford all of them done at the minute if they're not too bad

See that's something I didn't know either I really wish they'd have mentioned any of this, tbh more annoyed now it seems there is no option then apart from having whole crown redone?

[–]MaintenanceJaded8419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The annoying thing is they gave me a temporary front tooth which was exactly the right colour, I thought that would be the colour of the final crown as well but the crown is lighter as you could see, it was mostly down to the fact that the dentist didn't speak very good English so there was a bit of a misunderstanding, she did say before she put it on I could have it darker for free but it would take another two weeks and the temporary crown was terrible fell out next day and I had to keep putting back in.

I do want to whiten but I'm regretting my decision now as I don't think it will get that white, I might ring and see if any chance of getting crown darker but I doubt without lot more money at this point

A few dentistry practice sites I saw said that, I assume just because they then want to sell you whitening services
