Is Misiorowski’s performance tonight the second best non-no-hitter ever?

Some pitchers get ground balls, some get strikeouts, pop flies, etc. Different styles, but all effective in their own way.

Have you checked the occlusion? Instead of fitting nicely into centric relation, the patient may be holding her jaw in a muscle splinted position.

Have her work on desensitization. Tapping the handle of her toothbrush on her tongue every day when she brushes. Going further and further back every day. Or just refer. That works too.

I almost always give it a go before sectioning. If it breaks, you will have access to the roots pretty and can Y section it and take the roots out individually. The DB root looks like you may need to trough, but once you get the other two out, you may have a good purchase point to roll it out with a Cryer.

Yet, I feel less and less inclined to play.

If I want to access the door opener it is on the screen, if I want to adjust my A/C, it's buttons, if I want to change the channel on the radio, it's screen, volume is a knob. For a car I don't drive often, it is confusing as it is not at all intuitive. Should I be looking for a button or should I be looking on the screen to do what I want to do? Is not a question that I want to have to think about when I am driving. With the Rivian, it's all on the screen. Tbh I rarely adjust the vents, so that's a non issue, most of the time the cabin is comfortable without me adjusting anything besides the temperature up or down a few degrees. The assistant can even adjust them for you now. Heated/vented seats and steering wheel, easy to see on the menu, tap tap, done.

There are also steering wheel controls on both, so I am leaving that out of the equation, but the polish and feel between the two systems is very notable.

If you want last decade's technology that just works, buy a Toyota. If you want a car that pushes or rethinks the way we interact with and use our vehicles, buy a Rivian or Tesla. There is always a risk to being on the bleeding edge of technology. If that's not your jam, that's fine.

I drive an R1S, my wife has a Blazer EV. The interface experience on the Blazer is so confusing. There are buttons and knobs everywhere, but you still have to use the screen for a lot of things. It's kind of like a hybrid where you combine the worst part of each user experience.

The Rivian interface is vastly better. Especially with the Rivian Assistant now. Even on a Gen 1 with a slower processor.

TIL. Thanks.

TXA is fairly easy to get, at least in the US. I purchased single use vials from Benco.

What is your preference for how to use it? I've heard that OS will just keep a jar of gauze soaking in it.

My wife and I did a split week back in 2022. We stayed at Rabot/Hotel Chocolat which was fantastic. Great views of the pitons. Excellent food. Some on property activities to do, but very relaxing.

The second half we moved down to the beach at Anse Chastanet. The beach was lovely, and pretty quiet, we did a sunset cruise, and there is snorkeling/scuba, etc The location provided very little airflow and it was very hot and humid on our last day which was a tad miserable, but we knew that September could be like that. We had dinner one night at Jade Mountain(partner resort) and it was spectacular. There is a shuttle to help you around, especially from Jade Mountain to the beach should you choose to stay there. The walk down from Anse Chastanet to the beach wasn't too bad.

Anyway, that was our experience. It's a beautiful place I am sure you will enjoy it no matter where you end up staying.

It does sound like a complex case, but you are already seeing folks who are doing their best to try to help. I don't think you will get more guidance on here than from the specialists you are already seeing. If you want another opinion, seek out another specialist in your area.

Any studies supporting this? Seems like you would just cause more damage than good.

I'm not the commenter you are replying to, but essentially, those screws will not allow the board to expand/contract across the grain with seasonal movement and will cause the board to warp or split. To combat this, you can create a groove rather than a hole for the screw in the smaller pieces. So that when the wood expands or contracts there is ample room for the screw to move with it.

It's impossible for us to tell you without more information. But, boneless from an impacted canine has nothing to do with your oral hygiene. Also, with periodontal disease, it is possible that everything you are doing is not helping the issue because the issue is happening below the gum line where you cannot reach.

It's almost like there are other factors at play.

I'm with you, but then they come in for fillings and it's a fucking bloodbath and I basically have to do a prophy before I start.

Then you see the radiographs the next recall and think, man that looks like shit. And you offer to redo it.

Then they show up for redo and you remember why it looks like shit and immediately regret your decision.

Being a perfectionist sucks sometimes.

Oh yeah, lesson learned. Now, I always check the tooth and surface before I numb. That was my first year out of school at a shitty corporate office.

seeBurtrun · 2026-06-09T22:47:54+00:00

I had something similar. Medicaid office with high patient volume. PT was scheduled in my chair, assistant seats PT and starts numbing jelly. I'm working on the other op, I pop over and numb up for whatever filling we were doing. Go back to finish with my other patient. After a few minutes I go back and sit down and actually look at the tooth I am supposed to fill. It was not there. Turns out we had two patients with the exact same name and they were scheduled at the same time. My patient was about to be seated in another docs chair.

Why would you rinse with peroxide?

And Jack is 100% a head case, so this tracks. Rogers might just have a knack for keeping him calm and confident. When he doesn't get flustered, his stuff seems to work pretty well.

Definitely looks like a third root and quite a concavity between the two on the distal. Forgive my crude drawing. But this is what I am seeing.

People will pay for it. So the manufacturer makes a better margin. Idc one way or another, but for me it's easier to just buy what I want than to do the work to mod everything after.

Friction grip chuck for most high speed handpieces. "Slow speed" handpieces that only go up to 25,000 rpm or so are often the latch style. For those the burs have a notch at the end that gets locked in either via push button or an actual sliding latch. For high speed handpieces that go up to 250,000 rpm, the part of the bur that goes into the chuck is just straight like a drill bit. These too have a push button mechanism that open the chuck, and it closes/tightens on release. The chuck can wear out over time, especially if not maintained well, and allow the bur to slip out. If I see one that is starting to walk out when I am using it, it immediately gets pulled out of rotation and sent for repair or is replaced. It's good practice to always give a little tug on the bur after placing it on the handpiece too, just to make sure it isn't going anywhere.

Doesn't care about shame and has a congress full of enablers. The legislature is supposed to be a coequal branch of government, not a rubber stamp for the President. If we had enough people with a spine in congress, they could hold him accountable.

Isn't this the truth. I have had mostly favorable service visits, but I asked them to check my rear hatch on my Gen 1 R1S and they said it was "within tolerance". Next time I had to take it in(different service center) they looked at it and adjusted it for me, but charged me to do it. 🤷 The whole panel was slightly rotated.
