Glad the Clippers closed it out -- please keep beating eachother up. I would also prefer losing to not Kyrie Irving in the next round, so if they pull off the series that would be nice too.

It's too late none of us are immunized against Kyrie

What provoked you to get that surgery? I have an overbite and I keep wondering if it's something I'm ever going to have to do anything about, or if at my age there's no point.

Gilgaron

If it won't reset easily then I agree an electrician out to replace it is a good move. The fail state on those is usually 'trip too easily' anyhow so it'll just continue to aggravate you.

Today is just warm enough to be too warm for my housecoat or a sweater.

But it’s just cool enough to be too cool for a t-shirt.

Yeah really WTF.

My "dining room outlets" also shuts off ones in the garage.

I've tested and labeled my breaker box three times and there's still always one that has some one-off surprise attached to it

Too late, one of my kids opened an upper pantry door while I was looking in the bottom one and I didnt notice, so stood up and now I have an angry red gouge on my scalp.

We had the same problem with one breaker when we bought our house a couple of years ago. It would randomly trip and then be in a weird state where I had to push it hard to get it into the Off position so that I could then flip it back to On. It turned out that (and a couple of other) GFCI breaker was from a generation of breakers that were expected to fail after something like 10-15 years and it was ~20 years old. So got all of those replaced and the weird breaker trips stopped.

I feel like I ate too much meat these last few days so vegetarian tonight: simple celery, potato and spring green soup, plenty of seasonings, and a chunk of rye and spelt loaf that's kinda too stale to use for sandwiches, but perfect for dipping in soooooup.

A glass of chilled Gavi is vegetarian too, right?

Tcheldor

Our electrician said that for like $700 they'd go through all your breakers etc. and diagnose where everything goes. If you're willing to pay some money, I bet you could get a labeled box. "course that costs money...

Cell phones solve this problem and make it much less fun.

So do we and I agree.

Had a few electricians come in today to install an EV charger. Waiting for quotes. They'll need to install a short run of conduit due to where the wire comes into the garage from the basement.

The outlet in my bathroom has suddenly died. It apparently decided to do this in the ~2 seconds to unplug the nightlight that was lit up to make room for the fan I was plugging in. So naturally your first thought is going to be "Oh shit this fan is broken!". Y'know, considering you had visual evidence the outlet was working not 5 seconds ago. T'was only after plugging the fan in another outlet to confirm it was working and replugging the nightlight back in to no effect did I know it was the outlet itself.

This is also when I made another realization. This bathroom is/was pretty much a private bathroom for another that I never really had much reason to use. Now I'm looking at this outlet that's not 6 inches from a sink and thinking... hey this isn't a GFCI outlet with the buttons... This isn't even an old house. The other bathroom has that outlet.

I'm not broken up over it. I barely use the outlet anyways, and if it's true I'd need to replace it, that's an electrical job I actually feel reasonably comfortable doing.

Are you sure that outlet isn't protected by a (tripped) gfci in one of your other bathrooms? See it a lot in 80s construction

Generally speaking, a slight overbite is what you want and what I was corrected to. I had an underbite of about 1cm that dentists/orthodontists had suggested I get corrected since I was a teenager. I put it off for years because it didn't seem to affect me and I didn't care about the appearance. I finally had a dentist prevail upon me that if I wanted to keep all of my teeth I needed to get this fixed (my back two upper molars did not have any teeth under them, rendering them effectively useless), and she also pointed out that all of the times I'd never been able to fully bite through a sandwich or a tortilla were because my underbite prevented from being able to bite and tear.

The fact that my teeth are now straight and I'll have a pleasant, telegenic overbite are sort of bonuses in my view, but I also do care a lot more about my appearance these days so it really doesn't hurt. Well, I mean, right now it does, but that'll go away soon.

My overbite is pretty severe. It's resulted in my teeth wearing down abnormally because they line up wonky when I chew. I don't know how big a problem it is/will be though because dentists are impossible to find.

The biggest issue with it is I have one upper premolar that is super sharp because I guess it never gets abraded the way my other teeth do, and combined with my tendency to clench my jaw in my sleep means I occasionally wake up with a punctured tongue.

Bodies are so dumb.

Do you think the people who came up with names like that were just having a bad day? I once went to a place called The Valley of Desolation in SA. Which is a very cool name, but thematically inappropriate, it was a nice place.

I had that therapy appointment

It only helped a tiny bit!

I still kind of feel like I can't do this much longer.

[fistbump]

Anecdotally, I find that right after a therapy session I tend to feel pretty bad. I’m usually thinking things over and feeling like nothing got resolved.

Then a couple days or weeks later, THAT’S when I feel like I’m able to make a positive change or put something we talked about in therapy into practice.

Maybe you’re in the ‘chewing stuff over’ phase?

It took me a long time to realize I had to let myself cook in between sessions. Nearly quit therapy because of it. Glad I didn’t, but I have to remind myself of the stewing phase every single time.

When I was a children I had a cross bite! It's where some of your top teeth go behind your bottom teeth and some go in front. I had braces for six (6) fucking years! Even had one of those pallet spreaders where you had to put a key in there and crank it down so it would spread my gotdamn pallet wider. I think it expanded my whole skull which dislodged my brain from its protective harness and allowed it to rattle around in there and get tumbled smooth like a river stone.

My mouth was fucked up real bad.

honovere

I had braces for several years as a teen and still remember the fucking pain and now I probably need new braces and or surgery to undo the shit the braces of that quack did to my teeth and jaw

Cello

We could never afford braces when I was a kid, so I finally had an okay enough amount of coverage to be able to start Invisalign last January

Annoyingly because of the wait some of my teeth ground down against the others over time, so I'll still have some angles that can't be fixed (though the most fuckin, 5 degree one on my front tooth can at least be veneered)

Bit of a bummer that my family being in that low level income position has a visible impact forever, though

Muzzmuzz

Ugh, Netflix is telling me as of June, my standard 10 buck a month ad free subscription is gone, I either pay five bucks more for ad free (and improved quality and more devices), or I start paying for the four buck cheaper ad included package (that does have improved quality and more devices...but the ads...)

I'd probably start hoisting the sails, but with my kid and Mr. Muzz (the main users of Netflix) both not having the correct knowledge to pirate, (the former is a bit too young, and the latter...not a tech guy), I will probably begrudgingly switch to the ad service.

The enshitification of EVERYTHING is rampant. Mark my words, in a couple years, Amazon Prime memberships will only give you a discount on shipping.

Never did get braces cause of crowding or anything. Some of my front teeth are kinda crooked though. I've thought about giving some invisible braces a go but it might also make playing saxophone and clarinet weird feeling for a bit, though I think I would adjust.

During the same time I had braces I also played clarinet/saxophone. the first few days after the braces got adjusted every month were agonising

I was in constant, constant pain during those six years. I still have scar tissue on the inside of my cheeks from where they wouldn't cut the wires short enough and they would catch and pull the skin in my mouth. Also, the constant aching from having my jaw pulled into shape, boy that sure was fun.

Also, my high-school Spanish teacher would get mad at me for not rolling my R's when I literally had a metal doohickey in the cleft of my mouth and physically could not roll my tongue. I couldn't roll my R's after, either, but it was a good excuse at the time.

Weirdly enough, I learned how to do that singing along to Rammstein. Take that, Senora Williams.
