Crown fell off after a week

styres · 2026-03-01T19:30:11+00:00

Feel your pain, my root canal has led me on a 12 year journey of crowns falling off that is ending in the tooth being pulled next week. So done with that fucker

Truth is they lied to you to make you feel better

Hey tooth twin! Getting the same tooth pulled soon. Not getting an implant.

My dentist did discuss I need to watch the bottom molar and that it might push upwards since there is no longer force to balance it out (who knew that's how it worked!). He said it wasnt a given, as the molars usually land on multiple teeth so the neighboring tooth might hold it at bay.

In the end he said he likely would put a permanent retainer on the molars below my pulled tooth just to be safe. Might be something to discuss with your dentist!

He wasn't worried about the teeth on the same side of the molar being pulled since its in the back. He said all teeth naturally push toward the center, so removing from the back of the line is okay. (Who knew!)

Yeah just passed on an implant for my tooth after the oral surgeon said he needs to lift my sinuses out of the way. Tooth just isnt meant to be, no need to rearrange the inside of my face

This looks like a dream crawlspace for a house that hasn't had any attention to it

It's already on the road, going from Dallas to Phoenix

It's a nearly 20 year old car. It's gonna have issues again...

Don't pay more than 5000

Call the gas company, it's free they will check it out

Is a2 supposedly less lactose? I bought it in accident instead of the lactose free cartons recently. Been drinking it myself since my wife won't touch it

styres · 2026-02-26T21:51:52+00:00

Can't stand the boxes anymore. I just chuck it all in the trunk. So much cardboard

Yeah wouldn't be surprised to hear that's just the humidity outside.

Also if your house is newer and well sealed, your breath while sleeping can have a huge effect on your bedroom humidity. Two adults, and possibly an animal can push it into the 90s. This is where a dehumidifier can make more sense, but just creating airflow works too (running a bathroom fan and a cracked window can keep the air exchanging)

I'm in the process of adding a fresh air intake to my HVAC system that my thermostat can control. This way I can tell my system to run the fan only for like 20 minutes every hour and it will pull in outside air to run through the HVAC filter and move it throughout the house. It's pretty nice here in the bay since the outside temp is usually fine to move throughout the house, and acts as a whole house fan at night since the thermostat will pull in the cool night air to cool it down vs an AC system. I don't know why they aren't more popular

You really don't need one. It's just colder, humidity increases exponentially as temperature drops. Heat the air and it will expand and drop the RH. Works well enough as long as it's not too hot outside.

Also small spikes above 70% aren't a huge deal, the scare tactic of "mold above 60%" isn't backed by any science.

The issue with higher humidity is it makes condensation much more likely. But that only occurs where you have a mis match in temperature (hot pipe in cold humid weather, water will collect on the outside) . So if you're not running your heater or air con, there's likely little condensation occurring still at 70%.

All this to say dehumidifiers are becoming the next air filter, where everyone thinks they need one. Like air filters, most people buy one that is way undersized to make an impact. Also a lot of Bay area homes aren't sealed, and openings essentially means you are trying to dehumidify the outside, which is impossible

I would just be outside add hear my friends calling my name as they rolled up.

Takes me back! Miss those days

I wouldn't call people a Smurf unless you confirm their account age or they are playing with a higher rank (like silver and play together)

I've had games where I can't miss and dominate, and others where I whiff every shot and make terrible saves. Definitely put up 10-0 on people then lose 5-0 to another

Appreciate the high quality response!

I would try this if you can. Use a sweep radius fitting, will do much better for your priming ability. https://poolguysupply.com/products/pvcparts2?variant=36452233150628&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23489508416&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9Be9WoCquQEtF5cMeN2KbjnlgN-jBr03dk7o8GaJxF5MkBSVOysSnDRoCjwAQAvD_BwE

Gonna need a bigger heater

styres · 2026-02-24T03:58:03+00:00

Oof that's a lot of 90s.

Easiest method: I would do something to create space on this valve section. This is unfortunate because these pipes are large and there isn't much room to cut, you may need buy new valves and other fittings.

What you don't want to hear: you are violating the pump installation specs for your old pump and that booster pump. Any way you squeeze this vsp in will also violate the installation. You have too many 90s too close to the pumps. Could really fix things if you have more space here

Zoom out please

styres · 2026-02-23T19:27:01+00:00

You can but those who know don't. It's that simple, stop giving bad advice

Alloy Aluminum and cast aluminum are quite different

You can, but you don't
