@alyx i'm not a cook either but i've heard from some cook friends that it's better, although they never told me why. it seems to be the general consensus though. my guess is that it would probably be something related to portion sizes of ingredients.

re: guys i can't stress how CRITICAL it is to do some of your own research when it comes to anything medical. 

@Corfiot the only time i want to get a root canal is if i'm in like, unbearable pain and just need to move on with my life. if i get a horrible tinge every time one tooth hits something cold, it's something i can manage.

thankfully, they won't ever do something to you that you don't agree to. i like to take my time on these things because i've had pretty hellish experiences before just trusting whatever doctors say.

@alyx @cassidyclown i did always dislike how there's not really anything in between cm and meters. it's either a measurement smaller than an inch or one 3x a foot. sure there is decimeter but nobody fucking uses it.

for measuring height, even though it isn't as precise, i still think feet+inches is better than just centimeters.

when you get into longer distances or very precise measurements though, it's probably better to use metric. we already do the latter, because there isn't an imperial unit smaller than an inch. bullets, cables, things like that are measured in mm.

my dentist was recommending a root canal for a tooth i recently had a relatively large filling in because i was having some pain due to sensitivity.

i was pretty wary about it, i didn't think the pain was bad enough to warrant a root canal even though it's been ongoing for a couple months now... something just felt a little bit off with that recommendation, especially because it has happened before and went away eventually.

then today, something just popped into my head. i've been using a different kind of toothpaste: prescribed high fluoride toothpaste to strengthen my teeth, for a while now.

paying more attention, i realized that ALL of my teeth were sensitive, not just the one that had the filling (although that was the most sensitive so it was taking center stage).

the toothpaste i was using beforehand was specifically meant for sensitive teeth, because my teeth have always been pretty sensitive. i just didn't realize that because i've used that toothpaste for years.

apparently the prescribed toothpaste also has an ingredient in it that some people are allergic to (namely people with autoimmune disorders, hello there!) and makes their teeth even more sensitive, so while it is strengthening them it is also causing some pain.

fuckin' crazy, man. i've never been a fan of how many "professionals" immediately jump to the most destructive thing possible. they want results and they want them fast, not to actually get the patient what they need on an individual level.

all of the students at the dentist school i visit to get work done are always pretty good at recommending things that aren't going to be particularly damaging. it's just the dude with the medical degree who has been in the field for 30+ years saying it should happen and since the students are under them, they're inclined to agree.

anyway, i have another appointment on wednesday so i'm going to bring it up and see what they say. if anything, the prescription toothpaste is definitely not meant to be used for sensitive teeth, so i'll be curious to see if they have any idea if there's one that is actually meant for that.

@LukeAlmighty isn't 25 just the age where it becomes a lot harder to learn new things/take in new info?

with all the twitter shit going on, tumblr could explode in popularity again if they changed up a couple things and did a little bit of marketing
