My partner is trying to deal with a swollen/enflamed gum and/or wisdom tooth issue, and getting very anxious about it (understandable) and I’m just… so angry at the state of Dentistry in the UK at the mo?
Like, it should not be a chore/impossible to get emergency help for stuff like this? Why is it so bad? Why are people not fixing this?
I’m 500 miles away (again) and can’t do aught to help, and it’s just… What The Hell…
Dentists are one of the few areas I’ve never had an issue with, in England at least. Dunno sbout the other parts of the UK. The biggest issue when I had two teeth out was time. The dentist insisted on a hospital dentist/surgeon due to medical history - but once it got moving it took about a week.
The dentist themselves should have an emergency number, least mine does and it’s nhs.
Addendum on the firefox AI thing: apparently the method I provided before only hides the AI stuff, rather than full disables it.
In order to disable it, per https://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-and-remove-all-ai-features-in-mozilla-firefox/ (scroll down to method 2):
Open new tab->Type ‘about:config’ (no air quotes) and hit enter->Accept risks->Type ‘browser.ml.chat.enabled’ into the searchbar->double click the top result so that it changes ‘true’ to ‘false’->Close tab. No additional confirmation required.
When I wrote about an obscure arcane procedure to opt out of an AI chatbot, I meant it as an April Fools joke. Now Mozilla has implemented it for real.
Gave in to the Voices and picked up Hold Fast on Steam.
Official servers - absolute carnage. Mic spam like its early 2000s. Officer class? Orders? (which do have mechanical benefits actually) Nah, lets just gaggle-scramble our way in the vague direction of the objective.
Situational awareness - nonexistent. Tide of battle - unpredictable. Chaos - absolute.
10/10, would get turned to red mist by a stray cannonball or beaten to death with a frying pan again.
Got dared to play a full Nexus TW run in first-person, very glad I am NOT epileptic.
Evoker isn’t bad, it was worse from friend who dared me to do so on her shaman so I got that at least
I found this interview with one of the devs who worked on War3.

He explains the process they used for designing each of the levels, though not in detail or specifically.
Apparently a dragon age remaster was pitched to the ea suits but they didn’t bite. It’s also more difficult to do da than ME for engine reasons. Must admit I assumed they used the same engine but then I also don’t pay attention to it all most of the time.
In peeves, two and a bit more weeks till schools start up again. I wouldn’t change the 6 week break personally as I know many people for whom it’s the only window where they feel themselves - course theres also the flip side where several children lose their safe haven for a month but they’d lose that space regardless unfortunately.
Personally I do find it too long though. Three weeks is better, two weeks to get things done that got put off and one to relax. 6 just drags things. Then the flip side is we can’t teach in stupid heat with the way uk classrooms are set up so meh.
