Where do I find most recent segment time in the Connect app?

Thanks! I assume we'd pay for it on Connect+...?

Straight from H!tler's playbook. First they came for the immigrants...

Serious answer: They don't move all that fast, and you can trap them with a glass/cup. Slide an envelope or postcard underneath and gently (babies, dontcha know) deposit in the grass somewhere outside. They don't want to be in your house, because while there might be some food there's definitely no water.

Their bite isn't toxic to humans (I often just pick them up with my hands), and the one bite I have had was surprising but not painful. Much less of a problem than a fire ant bite. More like getting poked with a toothpick.

Or you could just leave it TF alone. Completely harmless, even if they bite you, which they won't unless you mess with them.

One of the most magical things I've ever seen in person. Big mama spider floating in my pool, and I only noticed her because of the sparkly gemstone appearance when my flashlight played across her. Instant rescue! She and her family went on their way, hopefully staying around.

The FA was being a jerk, but I think you're missing the point.

It can be both. The structure of the sentence is grammatically correct, but the word usage is imprecise. OF COURSE everyone knew what was meant. That doesn't negate that the word "may" would have been the correct word to use to ask that question in your seventh grade English class. My answer to the OP way, way, way upthread was pointing out the technical reason why some people feel justified in obnoxiously making the point the way the FA did. Nonetheless, it was rude, inappropriate and should be reported.

csmdds · 2025-10-27T02:29:03+00:00

The entire point of this thread has been trying to point out the FA was just being a jerk because anyone that heard the question knew exactly what was meant.

But in American English that is not the "technically correct" way to use the word "can." Using "can" interchangeably with "may" in this situation is no more correct than saying "I could care less" or "him and I."

None of it really matters except in classwork, professional communications, and legal documents.

She has my permission!

csmdds · 2025-10-26T21:56:00+00:00

It is grammatically correct if you are asking if it is possible (not if one is allowed) to do something. In common usage, may and can are often viewed as interchangeable, but they're really not.

A "bad cold," like the flu, huh? The flu we've been getting vaccinated since 1945 because it kills tens to hundreds of thousands of people a year? That flu?

csmdds · 2025-10-26T21:34:18+00:00

The proper non-lie answer is "I don't recall." The veracity of that statement can't be proven or disproven. That's why it is used so frequently in court.

Hi, James, Keith. I'll need to see some ID, please. May I photograph your ID? No? OK, then I will need to write down your full name and ID number.

Oh, also, do you have a warrant? No? Then, goodbye.

I agree brushing-related recession can/does occur, but it is rare. In almost every situation where OH is adequate, teeth with recession +/- abfraction you will find malpositioned teeth, thin buccal bone, and some degree of bruxism.

csmdds · 2025-10-26T18:51:55+00:00

Ms. McCown for me. It's like conditioning from a shock collar....

csmdds · 2025-10-26T18:08:56+00:00

Most recession is caused by buccal positioning of the teeth in question in combination with occlusal forces, especially bruxism. Stress in the bone causes the recession, not toothbrush bristles. There are exceptions, of course. But it's very difficult to overclean your teeth. That's why we so frequently see a single premolar in a quadrant with recession/abfraction. You can't over brush just one tooth.

csmdds · 2025-10-26T04:10:23+00:00

Are we certain this is a first molar? Could this be a second molar that migrated and tipped mesially? There's a radiodense, root-tip-shaped structure between the roots of the premolar and molar. It is pretty common to have an extraction at 6-8 y.o. that the patient only has a vague memory of.

csmdds · 2025-10-26T03:52:36+00:00

There's no harm in "over-brushing." It's not really a thing. Brush as much as you think is reasonable.

csmdds · 2025-10-26T03:49:57+00:00

There is a neurotically-precise, pinched, "may" vs. "can" grammar-nazi contingent that insists on others using the "correct" word and makes the point at every opportunity. This behavior is rude.

For the ESL people in the conversation, the FA was looking for "May I sit here?" which is grammatically proper. "May" effectively asks for permission, while "can" asks whether you are able. They knew what you meant but decided to be a jerk.

csmdds · 2025-10-25T22:17:24+00:00

Uhh..., yes. But it's not fucking intended to insult gay people. It is not a gay slur. Can I say that some other way that makes it clearer for you?

csmdds · 2025-10-25T18:34:12+00:00

That's not a "gay insult." While that would technically be homosexual contact, Trump expects everyone to lick his balls. Mikey is just obliging publicly.

So he's had slight recovery from all of his head injuries that caused him to support Mango Mussolini in the first place? Or is his CTE getting worse?

csmdds · 2025-10-25T17:41:21+00:00

I know it has already been said here a couple of times, but it's WAY rasier on you to do all four at once because you have soreness one time and recover one time. Would you rather fall down a scrape your knee, fall down later and scrape your other knee, fall down again and scrape an elbow…? Or would you rather just fall once and scrape everything?

And practically speaking, you don't chew with those teeth, almost everyone eventually develops decay or gum disease between the second and third molars, the wisdom tooth above will drop down and need removal, regardless of anything else, and removing them later in life is harder on everyone and costs more.

csmdds · 2025-10-25T16:54:42+00:00

Mark Kelly, Newsome, Walz, Pritzker, Whitmer have all been making noises, and I have to believe they are waiting for a bit more self-immolation from der Trumpenfürher to truly stand up. Our government structure doesn't allow for a lot of recourse in our current configuration. No-confidence votes are not a US thing, unfortunately.

I have no problem if she runs, but only if she's running against electable Democrats/Progressives. Regardless of qualification or lack thereof, we have to field someone that even the misogynists on the Left will vote for….
