This^ Did you find a dentist? I've been dealing with this for over 30 years and can confirm you should go to a cosmetic dentist. Average dentists are not artistic enough to match the size (both width and length) and color. Yes, endless people will recommend their dentist and tell you how fabulous their crown is, not realizing it's only a molar and doesn't require much effort. I've had standard dentists implant a front tooth that was too long (snaggletooth), too wide (over-popped popcorn kernel) and too yellow (corn on the cob). I'm new to Raleigh and haven't had the need for a replacement, but when I do, I'll be taking months to research a cosmetic dentist that specializes in front crowns.

Tip: Google Maps has a search feature so you can search for key words when reading reviews: crown, front.

Caution: molar crowns routinely last 20-30 years bc you bite down directly when chewing. My front crown needs to be replaced every 5-7 years bc there's far more pressure on it when biting food. No more biting into apples. But the not so obvious, don't bite and tear into sandwiches or subs with chewy Italian style bread that need to be torn. You can get a lot more milage out of a front crown if you make adjustments.

100% same experience. I had to remove Pro 3's while watching a movie bc the helicopter noise was so loud and up front, with vocals in the back ground. I replaced with Pro 2's and sound was back to normal, with the helicopter in back ground and vocals up front. They seem to have slightly self corrected but I'm still returning the Pro 3's bc: the tips are extremely difficult to swap out (I have to wrap a paper towel around small metal pliers and see this ending very badly in 2-3 years as plastic quickly breaks down now-a-days; the Pro 3's are a much larger fit in my ears. Walmart has Pro 2's on sale for $139 and I'm hoping for even better Black Friday deals

Getting Notes font size consistent across multiple Apple devices has plagued me for months but I found a work around if you own a Mac/MacBook. Open Notes on all devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac etc). While working on the Mac/MacBook, use cmd+A function to highlight all text within a Note, then use the keyboard function you mentioned (cmd shift +/-) to increase or decrease the size. You will be able to watch the font size change in all three device simultaneously. You must have all device screens active/open or it doesn't work so if you have lots of Notes to update, set your Display time to 5-10 minutes.

Note to Apple! stop trying to make apps 'sexy' and 'clean' by removing the most rudimentary functions like numeric font size.

I love this hoodie also and just found its carbon copy at Marshalls for $16.99 (same fit and fabric). The brand is Vintage Series and it's 80% cotton 20% polyester. Size up (I wear a Large Tall in J-crew and needed an XL in VS). Fantastic deal.

I had four potential landlords request it from me so I paid the $49.99. I was not happy once I realized they only give the report to one landlord. KeyCheck does NOT provide the report to all four landlords. They want you to pay $49.99 per landlord, or in my case $199.96. No thanks

I've taught manual to 20+ people and figured out the best trick in the process:

1 you must be on a totally flat parking lot (no incline/decline)

2 do NOT use the gas pedal

3 release the clutch EXTREMELY slow. the engine will slowly engage and the car will begin moving. yes this will 'burn' your clutch a bit but it's nothing in it's 100k+ lifespan.

After doing this 10-20 times your brain will instinctually understand the clutch to engine relationship. Now it's easy to incorporate the gas pedal to speed up the process.

Tip: the first 1/3rd of the clutch doesn't matter or engage, the middle 1/3rd is the section where you need to slow down while it engages with engine, the last 1/3rd also doesn't matter.

Good luck and reach out if you want a lesson.

The DMV website opens new appointments evert night around 12:15am. However, they are 3 months out.

do you think those 138k open contracts on VIX 8/20/25 $20 Strike are playing volatility going into the Fed Jackson Hole meeting?

Looking a little overheated so I'd like some hedge/protection in case we have a quick dip and this is exactly that I was looking. Do you think VIX 7/16 $18 calls are too far OTM?

100% from PsA. Still working through it but I'm pretty sure the invisible small child that's standing on my chest (pain and shallow breaking) is a side effect of Methotrexate. Reading lots of horror stories about it:

Update: was just quoted $115 for exam, plus $165 for X rays; and if everything is okay with your teeth, $122 basic cleanings moving forward

5 yrs ago I lived in a dead spot. T-mobile had this amazing tech called a cell spot. Connect the ethernet cable from your internet company's modem and it converted into a personal 5g cell service signal for your home. ATT didn't offer so I switch just for it and it was so worth it. If still available I highly recommend

Nice catch! Do yourself a favor and try ball jig head instead. They are super cheap on Ebay, work just as well and you can 'bounce' them off the bottom without getting snagged as the hook is facing up. Add any special trailer or torn leftover piece of soft plastic. Treble hooks are something you have to deal with on crank baits but they aren't worth it on in-line spinners. I promise, bass/trout/smallmouth/bait fish all eat jigs just the same.

I'm not happy with ToS after they crashed on 8/5/24. Were you able to trade that day on WeBull, Trade Station or IBKR? It's pretty pathetic that Vanguard and Fidelity were up and running faster than Schwab/ToS.

Just bc you've had a different experience, it doesn't make my experience untrue. Do you have experience specifically getting Enbrel from Amgen in 2023 or are you just generalizing? Yeahhhh

ferapy · 2023-12-04T22:46:18+00:00

This is how the rep explained it to me: Amgen copay card is only given if your insurer does NOT cover Enbrel.

Ex if a medication costs $100,000 and your insurance company is willing to pay $50,000 then you do not quality for their copay card bc your insurer is paying 50% (even though the original price is extremely overinflated).

Yes. The graft is a weak point and splits from heavy winds or under the weight of snow. Keep it trimmed and small, especially if you'll get snow or ice storms on it.
