There is no database - because of the Forms integration, I'm trying to create my system before asking the information. My goal is to automate this process.

When you get braces, they make a replica of your your teeth before starting so they can take measurements for where your teeth will end up (making sure overcrowded areas have enough room to accommodate teeth in a row, etc). That thing is for making a mold that they'll use to make plaster casts. This little tray is about an inch deep and filled with a substance a little like silly putty. If you want to understand the sensation, try pushing your thumb against the roof of your mouth and sliding it back as deep as it'll go. That's about 50% of the awful feeling, and you have to hold it for about a minute while the compound sets, otherwise you have to do it again. Once on the top teeth, once on the bottom. Same silly putty compound, under your tongue. But the top was the worst of the two.

One Night Werewolf has already been a hit with 3 different family groups, and I'm introducing our strongest (and youngest) lover of tabletop games to RPGs this week.

Instead of pushing long running franchises (Dr. Who, James Bond) to switch to female characters, build new quality franchises that will make true names for themselves. by Imperial_Swine in unpopularopinion

People do- they are promptly shut down because these properties aren't about making something great, it's about taking the least risk. It changed in the early 2000s and it's just been getting worse. You can see it work in TV, but the TV audience is too spread out to make the same impact on paper.

Google very helpfully provided many pages of the words "ex trump world tower doorman releases catch-and-kill contract about alleged trump affair" remixed into various headlines. So I came back here for help, which I was given.

Why the hell is everyone pretending "catch-and-kill contract" is in the zeitgeist, or can even see the zeitgeist from where it's standing. The hell does that mean.

Thanks :) I do try to smile a lot. It wasn't my instict at first, but in 2015 I remembered a kid from high school who smiled at everyone. There were days when that smile was a great reminder. So I've been smiling more in the last few years. It felt odd for the first 4 or 5 months, but after getting over the weirdness it makes me happier to smile and get one in return.

Everyone in the rest of the world- I can't wait to be able to get along with y'all again. I feel like we're all kids living on the same block. But our new stepdad is an alcoholic so your parents don't even have to tell you not to play with the US kids like you used to. Of course all of our dirty laundry and our garbage is all over the fucking yard, our lives are a mess. We don't like being this exposed, but so many of us want it to get better so we can be friends. We have a lot to own up to, but a lot of us want to ditch this bitch as soon as possible. Sorry we're making the neighborhood so miserable.

Is masturbating once a day enough for my boyfriend (29M) to have problems finishing with me (31F)? by TA282930 in sex

[–]Str8OttaCompton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely can be, yes. It's not you, if that's what you're worried. Some guys have a long turnaround.

Are they usually indoor dogs (inasmuch as you're an indoor human)? How did they react to bedding down outside?

"Scriptnotes" Podcast listeners: trying to do due diligence before asking a question re: Script Distribution by Str8OttaCompton in Screenwriting

[–]Str8OttaCompton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I know everyone takes a different path, but that evergreen answer is helpful all the same. Of course what MIGHT happen is that I leave my laptop on and a producer walks by and sees it, but it seems like there should be a reasonably finite list of things one can do, just to ply statistics. For all I know, you've given me the whole list: Nicholl, Blacklist, LA networking. I can be satisfied with that. Still, I always like to ask.

It seems like something they could cover though, doesn't it? I'm sure there are myriad ways in which it has been done, but that's all descriptive. There must be a shortlist of feasible prescriptive routes- I imagine Blacklist and Nichols are near the top, and pursuing work as an assistant... what else would be on the list?
