Yep. imperfection is a feature not a bug.

Trying to eliminate every variable and be able to follow a precise formula is absurd. And if you manage to do that you are going to make food that is as good as what you can buy in the frozen section of any grocery store. That highly processed stuff is made by eliminating all the variables and following a precise formula.

Just enjoy the variation, taste your ingredients and food at every step you can and adjust until you like it.

We did this too. We used hacky sacks, socks and idk what else that would absorb lighter fluid and then play in the dark. Learned what burning hair smells like and melted some shoes but we kept doing it.

I’ve heard cafeteria christian for this. It really seems to apply to most religious people. They do what they want and pick and chose what doctrine works for how they actually want to live, then rationalize why that is OK. Some of that ‘logic’ is wild…

Seriously! Don’t store shit you don’t actually use and better yet don’t buy it in the first place! And sure, the random gadget is handy that one time per year, but the time saved that one time was completely negated by all the time spent digging through a mess.

I am proud to say that I don’t have this drawer. I grew up in a house with this drawer and always hated it. Nothing new is added to the kitchen without considering the actual need and anything that goes unused for any length of time is getting reevaluated.

Could you un max out other areas? Eliminate duplicates elsewhere so things in this drawer could be moved to the newly made space?

“Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.“

Why is this obvious? I know it’s so normal that me asking seems weird but, is this really how the world has to work? Can we not imagine a world without ads? I’d like to at least try.

This is how it should be!!!

If you can feel more than nothing during the root canal (or any dental work) then you need more anesthetic. Dentists aim to give you as little as possible so it is up to you to let them know if you have any feeling. It can start to wear off too, you’ll know and should tell them so they can give you more.

Take earbuds and listen to some music during it. Let the dentist know and they will probably be fine with that.

Edit: Read more of the thread. Don’t get high, it can interfere with the anesthetics. Your tolerance to them can be higher as well. If you feel comfortable with it you can talk to your dentist about it.

My vote too. It’s crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn’t work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn’t.
