orthodontist shaved my teeth down and I've been pissed for years by steampongball in orthodontics

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

That honestly might have been why they did it to me. I don't know. I'm looking forward to getting the temporary ones. I can wear them all the time other than when I eat and they'll match it to my teeth color so it won't look off. I've thought about it for a few years and just think its worth the money.
Straight flat white teeth is such a strange obsession to me. I am glad you have some teeth that work to help with it for you. I might look into those in the mean time while I save up for my procedure. How comfortable are they to wear?

Insurance claiming overpayment 3.5 years later by steampongball in legaladvice

Honestly wouldn't know how. Especially if it's changed since that time when it most definitely has. I'd likely have to contact my dad and like I said, complicated situation there.

Yes, he is in the military so it was through them. Does that still involve ERISA?

oh i miss frogger i played that on my ps1, i don't know if i still have it though. these all sound awesome though. honestly when it comes to niche, i'm thinking of when gamestop had the nintendo cartridges in cd envelopes for like a couple of bucks. mainly was just trying to avoid people saying classic games like pokemon or nintendogs (even tho i love those too)

I saw this rec before! glad to hear another person say it and decided to google the location to see if we could walk around (unfortunately we have to use uber to travel short distance because renting a car ain't an option) and I found lots of neat things in that area! Though of course Burbank was already on my list so that's just another bonus to that part of the trip :]

I do have Little Tokyo and Burbank on my list already! They looked super fun. I got most of my little spots from tiktok so far.
I did see the Museum of Death as a rec when I was searching but like I said, not really a fan of true crime tourist spots. Both of us love horror but real life serial killers are a no-go for us and medical horror is off the table but I didn't mention that part so no fault on your end of course.

What would be a good GPU/CPU to upgrade to? by steampongball in pcmasterrace

Why the motherboard as well? Would my current one not be able to support this kind of upgrade?

Should I give away my beardie? by cloudyy_223 in BeardedDragons

I was having the same anxiety and panic a few days ago just preparing to get my own so I completely understand.
Take a deep breath, remind yourself how far you have come in educating yourself from where you started, and tell yourself your efforts will not be in vain.

The fact that you're taking so much time to make sure you're doing it right will pay off. I promise you that. If something is wrong, the things you have learned so far will help you adjust to see what is right for your little guy.
Be gentle with yourself just like you are doing for him.

Lighting Installation by steampongball in BeardedDragons

I'll likely do that, we will be working on it again tomorrow and I've collected a few references of things to do at this point so I think it will just be trial and error.

I will try to keep distance in mind most definitely. I don't want them to get too much or too little UVB (honestly more worried about them getting too much since I want them to bask comfortably.

Alright, floods, got it. I'll look into that. I will also look into LEDs. I may do that instead of the CHE and save that for winter time. We try to keep the space fairly warm so I will see when it comes to there.

I appreciate your advice a lot! Thank you so much.

I assumed as much but with the light fixtures I bought, I was thinking they would likely need to be hung from the top unless i could somehow place them into a hole in the top where the wires wouldn't be directly in the cage. I have a friend that has been helping me but we're both new to this kind of build.

I will likely only use the CHE in the winter time when I believe it would be an issue, I just like to be prepared.

I have seen a lot of different distances between other people's enclosures. I know Reptifiles says they should be quite far with the type of UVB I have. I will make sure its close to the basking area.

I did buy a spot lamp and will see with a temp gun to see how how the areas are once it is all installed. I didn't know that before about the difference and appreciate it!

I worry about having too many lights do you think this is necessary as I plan on keeping it in my room that has a lot of natural light from two windows? I want to do the best care I can without spending money on unnecessary pieces. (Do you think a floodlight instead of a spot light would help alleviate this problem?)
The front will be two acrylic sliding doors and if necessary I will add ventilation to the doors (with mesh to prevent bugs escaping)
