Really hope so, I had a root canal filling a few years ago, and my dentist said the filled tooth will probably shatter and fall out in about 10 years. Would be nice if I can just grow it back at that point.

Might differ between countries/providers, but for the airline I'm working at, checking the box leads the customer to a separate page where they can detail what kind of assistance is needed. Might be that the cabin crew misundersta

You do realize factory farmed animals don't graze the natural farmland right? They are mostly fed either stuff that humans could eat, or food that is grown on farmland that could be used to grow human edible food. In my country, most o

not my field, but isn't meat pretty lossy compression food-wise? IIRC, feeding an animal to later eat instead of just eating what the animal would eat wastes like 90% (not sure of the exact figure) of the calories. So if we just ate th

on the flipside, one of my first times when learning to ride a car, I was so focused on adjusting the mirror and seat that I forgot to put on my seatbelt. I was able to get out of the parking lot and get onto a pretty busy road with semi-hi

I used the same approach! I essentially had a list of everything I should search and replace in the document (e.g. search for singular nouns ending in -en and see if they should be replaced by -a), and all the weird quirks that I needed to

I'm not necessarily against protecting your local food market, I think there are compelling reasons both for and against it. What I am against is politicians being dishonest about their motivations for imposing laws. If they want to pr

I don't believe the foods you don't like are subject to different food safety requirements than the ones you like. I also don't believe for a second that these laws are put in place for safety reasons. They are absolutely to

I don't think anyone is arguing for what you're arguing against here tbh. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. On the other hand, the law in question rather limits the freedom to chose cultivated meat products.

I've been thinking about this recently, Microsoft seem to consequently name things in the least intuitive way. Like seriously: Windows XP -> Windows Vista -> Windows 7 -> Windows 8 -> Windows 10 or: xbox -> xbox 360 -&gt

Oh my god, as a Scandinavian, the whole American thing about boobs is so annoying! It seems like the internet really want to force me to be shocked about seeing a chest, it's so weird. Most of the time, it is completely outside of a se

that makes a lot of sense! if not, you would be hard pressed to find someone who didn't walk a total of 22 minutes in an entire day I guess

Does this mean that anyone who has a > 11 minutes walk each way to their office won't experience the negative effects of sitting all day at work? That seems like an easily reachable target in that case.

Anecdotally, I intentionally never worked more than 4 hours any given day when writing my masters thesis. I ended up finishing many months ahead of my peers, which I feel like was because of, not in spite of, limiting the hours I worked. I

Me and a friend a mine were directed into a lake by google when biking across Denmark! We ended up having to backtrack quite a while back to get back to a road that didnt include quite as much swimming. Im still wondering why it was marked

It is so strange that pasting with formatting is the default! I have so far never wanted to paste with formatting a single time. I dont even understand what use case it is addressing.

While I agree it is unintuitive, it is super practical when calculating the recipe. Making a 80% hydration pizza dough? Just measure how much flour you added and multiply by 0.8!

Maybe I can clarify, I felt there was an argument that living in a big city and using shared services (e.g. public transit) had a bigger impact than other alternatives. I was wondering what those alternatives that would be. I also feel it w
