I had a rougher life in my 20s. I once went to a dentist and they told me they want to pull 13 of my teeth and give me dentures. I knew they were in bad shape but this absolutely freightened me. Four of them were my wisdom teeth but I still

There is an article that's a few years old of a guy going to ~60 different dentists to see what variety of services he's offered. I remember he went to his original dentist to get a baseline and it was just a cavity. He was sugges

Everyone is equal. Just because they don't "meet the minimum standard" doesn't mean their view or opinion is irrelevant. There are people sprouting crazy ideas in actual public town squares all the time, and they have do

Your example sounds like what people do in person all the time. My local barber knows me when I walk in. He knows what I look like, what I wear, what I usually order. He uses this to make my experience better. He saves me from having to tel

The Yale x Nest was my entry but after a few years a few complaints. It auto locks after each use but no confirmation the door was closed and secured correctly. The Yale mentioned above will gladly auto-lock with the door still open and it

The only time I saw this handled correctly, and I forget the company now, worked like this: They would call you and then want to verify themselves to you. You would be asked to open the companies app. The app noticed you were in a support c
