Haha well if it’s what I’m thinking has happened, it’ll be fixable.

Temp fillings over root canal therapies generally have another layer underneath that’s actually sealing off the root canal filling. You’re doing the right things.

Hmm I had an older one (TCL nxtwear s), and I wouldn’t be doing graphic art on it, but it more than sufficed for watching shows, playing games, and some light browsing.

If I was buying today I’d probably look at the xreal X1, they’ve made some great strides in the tech.

The cable can be snagged on things so it’s nice to buy a model where it connects with magnets. Unfortunately for longer haired folks, your hair can get snagged in this area.

The actual experience is pretty decent, albeit slightly disappointing if you’ve grown accustomed to VR - but that is the price you pay for a much smaller form factor. Of course you can’t have a fully immersive screen, it’s “just” a monitor in front of you (and a fairly big one) - again for me, disappointment as I’m used to a 49" uw. 😅 For the use case given by the linked article, it would 100% perform exceptionally well.

It was really nice being able to lie down in bed or on the sofa, and watch whatever you wanted from your phone. It worked with my Nintendo Switch in a nitro+ which made for better posture whilst in handheld mode. 3d mode worked too.

I sold it because I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would, and the one I had had could do with some more improvements. I’m sure newer models will probably make it a more compelling answer now.

Yeah I ran into these solutions but unfortunately I can’t seem to find any USB-CEC adapter other than the Pulse Eight, which doesn’t seem to ship to Australia in any economical manner.

I ended up getting a Flirc USB, couldn’t get the existing TV remote to work with that (once paired with the TV it stops sending IR signals, and the TV wouldn’t let me select the PC input as needing to activate the IR mode on the remote), ordered the Flirc Skip 1s… and now that’s working well enough we’re using the Skip1s as the primary remote for the TV as well. About 150AUD down the hole for this solution, and it’s not truly turning the PC off, but close enough!

We sold our PS and now have a gaming PC hooked up to the TV.

Been a few teething issues with convenience issues like being able to turn it on from the couch, but the experience has gotten pretty smooth now.

Preorder for mk in AUD is $114, fortunately. 😅

…still fucking steep.

So apparently this is 100% a thing with expensive camera lenses. Different markets will get different quality lenses despite the model being marked as the same.

It’s also why I won’t buy clothing from US based outlets, as the brands have been known to explicitly manufacture lower quality product to sell at outlets. That said, the only time this actually comes up for me (being an Australian), is that I won’t buy big brand clothing at Costco.

Most of the common ones now do wireless streaming from the PC for PCVR. But yes, for PCVR games you will still need a PC to run it. There are some VR headsets that are capable of running some games on it without a connected PC, like my Quest 2 can run Superhot or BeatSaber etc.

The fit site release has a mod included for flat screen mode.

Call a podiatrist.

I bought a StinkyBoard thinking I would be so productive… I was not. Perhaps I’m not being imaginative enough with its use. 😅

Oh beer bread! I did that for a fun test back in 2020. Don’t necessarily have to use packet mix, you can DIY a fair bit for sure.

Even in Australia, the current joke is: “You never see kids on bikes anymore, it’s just crackheads!”

(Lots of the kids have scooters now… Either push scooters or escooters)

When someone says it’s quiet at work, suddenly all these emergencies come in…

as bitchy not assertive

Too often, a behavior is considered bossy or bitchy in a woman, but would be considered assertive or commanding in a man.

A woman crying is emotional and can’t be trusted to ‘do what needs to be done’, a man punching holes in walls is just frustrated and can be relied upon when the going gets tough.

…or at least that’s what our rather misogynistic culture likes to tell us.

Once female speaking time reaches 30% or more, males believe that the females are dominating the speaking time.

Female encroachment on what has traditionally been considered male spaces is not taken well. Female empowerment is considered taking from deserving males.

Essentially the general male population don’t like females, and only tolerate them as a subservient subclass who should be seen and not heard.

EDIT: This should probably annoy you a little too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt2qCjL6-n4

And it may also explain why people complain that there should only ever be one female character - it minimises the chances of males having to watch two females interact, because that would be excluding the male experience and they couldn’t possibly relate to two females interacting.

EDIT2: comments in that video do claim there are more scenes… whether or not that really adds much is up to you.

Depends. Does the hypnotism make them think a patient has arrived? Will parents bring in children who don’t exist?

If it does, then super quickly. If it doesn’t, then a while.

Only the boss isn’t the same gender as the rest of the team and today is their RDO.

Recaldent, in grape flavour. Has CPP-ACP, for bonus reparative material.
