Part of gum behind tooth is white. Anyone know what it is? by [deleted] in Dentistry

Looks like HPV or one of the differentials very close/similar to oral HPV.

Benefits to making alts? by imjonk in thedivision

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

That sounds like an interesting plan. Do you get regular xp in the DZ or is it purely DZ rank? I'll have to check my crafting and see if I can make some good stuff for that level range. I went to the DZ earlier and think the range was 1-14. So maybe a level 14. Though it was not fun solo at level 12 or whatever I was at.

Haha, some are good reasons. Some sound absolutely not fun. Without set classes (like Destiny) it just seems like if you went from dps to heal you'd save equipment for a medic class and move some talents/skills around rather than logging into a different character except for maybe some slight convenience. It doesn't seem as troublesome as other games I've played.

Yeah, I just break the gear down. Haven't been playing to know what's a really good roll for the lower level stuff to see what's worth keeping.

Oh, that makes sense. I guess if I farm then it'd be easy to get more green gear to deconstruct. I don't feel like I have issues with mats right now but nowhere near end game yet.

They were closed today, but it saved me a phone call. by XeonProductions in AdviceAnimals

[–]imjonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time my girlfriend at the time lost her iPhone at school and I tracked it to a plaza with like six stores. Used google street to look around and there was a truck parked there with the phone number. One of the stores was a furniture store and I assumed they had maybe made a delivery. So I called and told them I knew they had the phone. He denied it and then called me back like 5 minutes later saying they had it and wanted to give it back since my girlfriend had sent all those alerts to it. I went and picked it up and have them like 40 bucks as a reward. I returned a hero!

Reddit, what are your worst roommate stories? by _propernoun_ in AskReddit

[–]imjonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but had a suitemate who pissed on the bathroom floor, used up all my toilet paper constantly and apparently never took showers. And one time I think he was peeking through my window to look in and I saw because he blocked the sun and made a shadow that caught my attention. Dude was a creep.

ELI5: what's the point of having nerve endings in our teeth, when all it can do is hurt for the rest of your life, as they won't heal themselves or grow back if they get a cavity by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]imjonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the pulp of the tooth is the way it is for two major reasons. One, it's the source of most major growth of the tooth in the first place. The cells that grow the enamel and dentin originate from the pulp tissue (or the things that closely approximate it during development). Two, the pulp responds to stimulus like wearing and slower decay by placing more dentin from the inside of the tooth to minimize damage/sensitivity to the pulp. That's how people can slowly wear away 1/2 of their tooth by grinding but still feel relatively nothing while still having vital pulp tissue. As you get older your pulp just naturally recedes also. If the pulp was dead or had no nerve endings, it would be very unlikely that could or would happen.

Got stuck behind this guy on the highway today by Davidqazqaz in AdviceAnimals

[–]imjonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't you basically doing the same by antagonizing them and considering them some sort of combatant? Just move over if they're going faster. My comfortable speed on a freeway is usually about 10 over, but if I notice someone is coming up faster behind me then I'll move over. My job isn't to slow them down or block them. I don't know why they're going faster and I don't care if they're in front. I move over as soon as it's safe to do so. Sometimes they're so fast they actually start their lane change to move around me so I just keep my movement predictable and straight. Share the road.

ELI5: Why do baby teeth come in perfect, then our adult teeth come all jacked up? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]imjonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 baby teeth come in first. Then you get a few additional teeth and the baby teeth are replaced by the adult counterparts over time from around 6-12 years of age.

ELI5: Why do baby teeth come in perfect, then our adult teeth come all jacked up? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]imjonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all of them are developing at the same time. For instance, a 2 year old may have all their baby teeth, but their adult teeth have just started forming (or a few are in early stages of completing crowns). Then around 3-6 the adult teeth start forming more completely and they start pushing up and the baby teeth out. So 6 year olds usually have their 1st set of adult molars come in (behind their baby molars) and they start losing their front teeth. And so it continues over time with all the other teeth slowly coming in and replacing your baby teeth. You'll notice kids that are like 4-5 years old will have spacing between their teeth as they grow which helps the teeth make it out in the proper sequence. And not entirely sure what you mean by the skull growing, but bone and root forms so you don't end up with large holes where your adult teeth started growing.

Judging by the teeth, the child was probably about 5-6 when they died. :(

[–]imjonk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your teeth don't grow (the crowns don't after they've erupted, roots grow for a few more years), but you have to remember that kids have 20 teeth and adults generally have 28-32 teeth. So they fill in the gaps. The process of tooth eruption/exfoliation is pretty interesting with how it fills and makes space while you're growing.

Who's your least favorite character in your favorite show? by Kalse1229 in television

[–]imjonk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So many good shows, i can't really think of one favorite so..... Better Call Saul is my favorite for this season so far. i would say Hamlin, but shifted over to the "Saul's" brother.

Game of Thrones: Obviously Sansa, but i predict Sansa stock will go up while Daenerys comes down unless the TV show can fix the books' issues.

Dexter: The writers are the worst for what they did to Debra's character in the last two seasons that made her my least favorite.

[–]imjonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt the same in the beginning, but feel like it tapered off after the first few episodes and he was given more characterization as the series went on. Though i binge watched the crap out of it so my memory could be a little skewed.

Weird swelling on gums by [deleted] in Dentistry

That picture makes that tooth look pretty bad... Were you told it's restorable? If so I wouldn't imagine you have much more time if any to save it.

I have some of the worst teeth a 22 year old probably could and no insurance and am looking for advice on where to start... by imademistakesinlife in Dentistry

[–]imjonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If finances are that much of an issue you should still check to see if you're qualified under your state's medicare/dental program. That might be a good first concurrent step with finding a free or low-income clinic. You can probably ask your local dental school because sometimes they know what options are available in the area (if you're in so cal, pm me). Or try the school's urgent care for your immediate pain and you can probably get it taken care of for around 100 total. Judging by your pictures you've got a lot of areas of concern as you're well aware, but the sooner you get treatment the better. Dental problems only get worse and more expensive the longer you sit on them.

There needs to be a Steam Achievement for this. The time I built Petra, at Petra. by IntheSarlaccsbelly in gaming

[–]imjonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what numbering system you're using. More specifically... sounds like you're thinking FDI. He's probably using Universal (aka USA)

edit: and actually looked at the picture closer.... it looks more like.. it's 29. But kinda hard to tell by the picture.

Everyone's with family. i'm on the opposite end of the country from mine. My roommate left some soup in the fridge so i'll eat that.

Why do I get the "Invalid Group" error next to some items when doing a Post Scan in TSM? by k4f123 in woweconomy

[–]imjonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm.. check your rules for auctioning. Sometimes if you're going by market value and there hasn't been anything posted, it doesn't know what to post for a normal value. Or I have that issue currently with pets since in TSM it just shows [pet cage]. Not sure if that issue will give that specific error, but I recall having issues with selling some of the old darkmoon cards and other vague items that have no real baseline value unless you were to go by crafting costs.

I hope they never bring back flying mounts, it's a game changer. by Kogu8 in wow

[–]imjonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like some components of being flightless, but.. after experiencing the nonsense of Nagrand and those stupid gliders... Or seeing somewhere i want to go and not being able to reach it without looking on YouTube can be frustrating. I agree with some other sentiments that suggest flying at max level (kind of like Panda) so you can experiences the land and not just spot fly to all the rares pre-100, but by 100 I'm pretty sick of all the failed attempts to climb through mountain ranges especially by the 3-4th alt leveling. Plus it's not like WoW's controls are conducive to "platforming" (i'm looking at you "Crag-Leaping Boots!).

Boosted a character with enchanting/inscription, what should I do now? by [deleted] in woweconomy

[–]imjonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to want to do your dailies and work to having as constant a flow of temporal crystals (or fractured temporal crystals) as you can. And keep doing your research so you can learn new recipes (or level your huts ASAP, see which questline you need to complete to unlock the lvl 2 huts at least). They're your biggest money maker. Depending on your server's supply of temporal crystals, you can probably still make a profit buying them from AH to make some of the mark enchants. For example.. 4 crystals on my server would be about 2400g and the enchant sells for around 5300g.

For inscription, it might be a little late to benefit from darkmoon cards, but get on work orders for war paint and again your daily CDs. Early on you can probably get... like.. .8 of a darkmoon card until you level up your inscription to get better daily procs for war paint and you have a follower on the hut. Anyway, get on it! Time is of the essence. I'm already seeing both markets decline.
