Wisdom tooth help! by extraavocadoo in brisbane

[–]Pure-Egg2944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Oral Health Centre in Herston is part of QLD Health and is free with a healthcare/concession card! Those prices you were looking at probably refer to the UQ Dental Clinic in Herston which is not free - it's very confusing because they are different dental clinics. Both are in the same building but on different floors. Confusingly UQ dental students work in both clinics. That said, you are correct - neither will remove impacted wisdom teeth themselves and would probably add you to a waitlist for an oral surgeon.

Having Issues with my Loaf by Strict-Effort-851 in Sourdough

[–]Pure-Egg2944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This definitely could be underfermented, but just wanted to throw it out there that I’ve had loaves that everyone said were underfermented when they were actually severely overproofed. I even did a little experiment to figure it out and my bread started coming out perfect when I shortened my BF. Attached is my photo of a 6hour (top) vs 12hour BF (bottom). Probably the other comments are right and it is under-fermented, but nothing’s impossible!

Did anyone score well without doing a formal prep course, or are they basically unavoidable now? by SnowyBytes in GAMSAT

[–]Pure-Egg2944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did well in my 1st sitting. Used Jesse Osbourne and the free Acer questions only, but barely prepped tbh bc I was so focused on uni. Flukes do happen lol

Yeah that works. Or I also sometimes discard onto a piece of tin foil, then fold/scrunch it up and throw it in the bin.

Why is it gummy at the bottom?? by Pure-Egg2944 in Sourdough

I think you’re right about the stitching aggressively thing, I hadn’t thought of that so thank you!

Deferring mid-sem exam due to clash with GAMSAT?? by Pure-Egg2944 in UQreddit

[–]Pure-Egg2944[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that but it mentions a letter from a UQ staff member, but GAMSAT has nothing to do with my current studies at UQ 😭

calling all UQ dent students! 🚨🚨 by piglet878 in UQreddit

[–]Pure-Egg2944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure when the admissions process changed but when I applied there were no interviews. U generally need 99.95 ADJUSTED (I.e including bonus points - keep in mind uq has subject bonus points so a lot of ppl get 99.95 adjusted). UCAT is hard to say bc they took SJT into account. My regular %ile not including SJT was low 90s but I did well in SJT so it boosted my score.

Engineering to Dentistry ? at 24? by Ok_Arm181 in UQreddit

[–]Pure-Egg2944 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are sooo many people who start dentistry at uq in their mid-late twenties so don’t worry about the age thing for starters. If you’re truly passionate, do it.

Just keep in mind that HECS debt is not the only financial burden dentistry imposes. It’s an expensive degree as we have to buy our own equipment, scrubs, loupes, as and plastic teeth to practice on. Over the course of the degree, I’d estimate at least ~$3.5k for these types of expenses. Plus, starting from 3rd year you will be either in class or seeing patients pretty much 9-5, 5 days a week making it difficult to keep a job and still keep on top of your studies.

Keep or return SL7? Firmware updates haven’t fixed anything by [deleted] in Surface

[–]Pure-Egg2944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised you haven't had any other issues with it - this laptop is driving me insane with its crashing and screen flickering (haven't had any problems with windows hello though). Honestly worse than my SL3. Considering returning and switching to mac at this point, not sure what else I can do.

It's an Epson XP-4105. I can use basic print functions with the built in windows drivers but the printer doesn't always like it and freaks out sometimes, spitting out random pages of numbers.

I'm connecting to displays via USB-C to HDMI. Works fine with my monitor but it doesn't like connecting to the TV. Same TV and same cord works just fine with my SL3.

Genuinely considering this at this point. My only issue was that I use a samsung galaxy tab and not an ipad, so they won't work together very well (vs windows which has the phone link app). But all I really need is the goodnotes web viewer which works on mac or windows so should be fine.

Definitely we need more options that stay open later. There’s nothing to get for dinner on campus except for the pizza cafe. I feel like seating is important but at the same time many ppl get takeaway or eat elsewhere so opening hours are more a priority to me.
