Random Rants 0x52: [Obligatory rant about title]

[Synobun]

Separating the keyboard and spraying it down with canned air fixed the other circuits, but it seems my O key is permanently kaput.

I can use all the other keys again but the O will continue to be remapped to \. Meh. My tolerance right now is garbage so this feels devastating but I know it's a minor issue. For now.

Someone should make an alcohol thread.

If Aimee gets her way, the serial threads will never be posted in.

Maybe that's my plan. That way [Obligatory rant about title] and Who wants cookies? will forever be the serial threads

Vintage Blink is the only Blink worth mentioning.

Rant: One of my teeth just randomly broke in half. That's...not good.

No, it's not. You'd better go to the dentist.

My gf actually chipped the bottom of one of her front teeth the other day and made a dentist appointment for Monday.

Unfortunately, it doesn't hurt.

Unfortunate because without the pain you don't have the impetus to go and get it fixed?

I have no idea, I just read somewhere about wine myths that it's common in Europe lol. You can keep using a box for several weeks after you open it, but with a bottle once it's open air will get in, and that'll be enough to spoil it before too long. But a box keeps it vacuum sealed, so you don't expose it all to air while you're pouring it out.

Before too long is not a couple hours, though, it will be fine two weeks later...

Which may not be the 4-6 weeks, but it's substantial. I once had freshly opened wine from a box that had completely turned to vinegar, and it couldnt have more than a few months, so I will take what that article said with a grain of salt.

I'm on Income Assistance.

I guess I could take the money I've been saving up, but I don't know if it'd be enough.

Oh, that's crappy. I'm sorry.

The "you are in pain" thing seems like a recipe for preventing people from getting preventative care until it's too late for their problems to be solved simply.

My teeth are already bad, no matter how carefully I brush and floss.

I blame this on my grandmother, who was British.

 

[Synobun]

In general it's always safe to blame the British for things.

Do you have a dentistry school near you, Aimee?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

The closest one is Dalhousie in Halifax, which isn't very easy for me to get to.

Were you at least left roses by the stairs?

Well, you could always tell them that you think having a broken tooth hurts your job prospects somehow, I guess?

Of course, surprises let me know she cares.

If you want me to, I'll post a picture of myself in the members' photos thread, just the once, tomorrow.

That seems like a rave, not a rant!

Actually I've remembered I already posted a picture of me so that counts towards ‘just the once’. I'd rather not let people see how much I've aged.

I still feel more comfortable giving him cues that I don't care for it, by doing things such as asking him for a specific brand next time

That's borderline passive-aggressive even if you remove the pink Comic Sans.

Someone should make an alcohol thread.

Does this count?

You are a malicious liar, sir, and I consider you a worm of society.

That works too I suppose (sorry, missed this).
