huh, ok. who enforces that though?

report what is true and verifiable

if they did that there wouldnt be much news, a lot fewer journalists, less jobs overall, and much less advertising revenue.

never gonna happen

ancient ones!

the Prime Minister’s party should retain control if he’s the Prime Minister though? or is Indian politics more convoluted than that?

yeah - so basically when you have an extraction there’s a hole in your jaw where the tooth used to be. a bone graft fills in the hole. then an implant can be installed in that spot when the graft has taken/integrated into your bone structure.

I didnt know much either until I had to go through it. now I know a little bit

bone graft is definitely the way to go - if you get an extraction but no graft there’s a chance your jaw can sort of cave in a little there - not really perceptible to people who have never met you but you will be able to see the difference in the mirror - so said my mother when I asked her about this, back when I had my extraction(s).

you have to wait for the gum to fully heal, then the dentist can peel a bit of it back, pack the hole where the tooth’s root was with bone and a growth matrix, then stitch it back up. 6+ months later on you can get a post installed, then you have to wait for that to heal before the fake tooth can be installed.

the only two I had were performed by the same guy yeah. maybe his fault then I dunno.

extraction. I’ve had a few root canals and they always go bad after a decade. get it pulled sooner, before the infection kicks in.

I can describe one of my extractions - the one where I didnt get put under for. it was so rough that I happily paid for anesthesia the next time I needed an extraction. so I had a failed root canal, and it got infected, like my jaw started swelling up in just a few days. went to the dentist, xrays to see how to go about it. the roots on that molar were branched and hooked & there was a cyst in/under that (the infection), the dentist had to use a dremel saw (or whatever it was) to cut the tooth in half, vertically, then break it apart with pliers (special dentist tool but it looks like pliers to me) so she could get down to the roots and then used the pliers to sort of yank/twist the roots out. it was not a pleasant experience.

not being able to eat anything that wasnt blended to a paste for a few weeks was even less fun - you get to a point where you CRAVE texture. meds were pretty good though, killed the infection off fast and the 5x strength narcotic of some sort absolutely erased the pain for the week the prescription lasted for. once I could eat real food again I gorged on raw broccoli.

anyway, I eventually had a bone graft put where the tooth was and then a titanium post installed. havent gone back to get a fake tooth installed on there, it’s super expensive and I’ve learned how to live without a tooth in that spot.

Metula, the town the mayor in question governs, is the furthest one away from Gaza that’s still actually in Israel. this is like that ex-Obama administration official from a few weeks ago being islamophobic - basically has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza, like, at all.

do some actual journalism, for once?

tell them that you’re the designated driver and you cant drink - and you want to talk to their manager.

they’ll gtfo

unsurprising really.

is that the one they were waiting for or a different one?

once their population crashes in a decade or so it’ll probably be really rough for another decade before they bounce back. Samsung/LG’s days are numbered though, unless they start offshoring everything now

tried to do that but mom wanted some esoteric bookkeeping software to function - so back to windows for her

not that it was particularly stable at any time prior

they have indoor ice skating rinks. pretty sure they’ll be fine.

the “religious toxicity” is an extension of tribalism. the culture hasnt really evolved much & it’s super easy for religion to sink its teeth in
