Yeaaah probably fake, but given that it could be easier to just get it back by asking rather than rescheduling patients, dealing with the police, and waiting for insurance to cover the expensive equipment it's... possible that this is legit (probably not, but possible)

Nah, I've worked in dental. Those machines are insanely expensive. This is one hand-held unit for sale just under 3k, down from just under 7k . That doesn't count the sensors, which are also crazy expensive.

Most offices have machines attached to the wall, which would be extremely difficult to steal. But a nomad is portable.

Above is ONE sensor (most offices have at least 2) that costs around 7k. There are other neccessities as well, but I think you get the point

I see what you're saying, yeah

I'm usually all about treating everyone as equally as possible, but I think if you're talking about something specific to the "race" (say now, how black women's hair has to be styled differently due to physical differences) then it's acceptable to mention "race"

If you're looking at some kind of demographic, it's also all right to mention it. Idk if it's true that conservative white dudes like gay/trans porn more than anyone else, but I think it's ok to mention that. Especially since the consumption of gay/trans porn on it's own isn't necessarily a negative (unless there's anything non-consential going on ir someone is underage). It's more the hypocracy of it all that gets peeps riled up

(I hate the term "race" which is why I shoved it in between quotation marks)

I just need to comment how annoying this paragraph is:

"Unlike California, Texas, and Arizona — which have also been used as a testing ground for driverless cars — have passed laws holding companies who operate autonomous vehicles responsible for any driving infractions."

Should be written: Texas and Arizona, unlike California, have passed laws holding companies who operate autonomous vehicles responsible for any driving infractions. All three states have been used as testing grounds for driverless cars."

I haven't had it for years and I don't miss it at all, either. Only social media I use is Lemmy and Youtube

Damn. Well, I hope it's something as simple and easily fixed at least!

Random question, but do hot showers help? I noticed a while back that you mentioned weed on some comment or other. I once lived with this family who had a woman in her late 50's who was a chronic (and I mean CHRONIC) user. She was struggling with nausea that was only alieviated by hot showers (idk why she told me this we weren't close). Turns out there's a condition:

I'm actually worried about you, and your dry-heaving. Lemmy wouldn't be the same without you so don't die

I want this so badly!

Right? If it just went up a bit I wouldn't have blinked an eye. Ads on something I (technically my dear husband) already pay for just pisses me off. It feels like they're holding ad-free viewing hostage

Ok, now I have to take a crack at it.

Jingle bells,

Donald Trump smells,

Pro-se-cute him all the way!

Oh, whata time

It is to live!

Let's li-ti-gate all he has to say!

Hey!

Can anyone else improve this?
