Every so often when I try to type "es" to go to the forums, I accidentally do "ed" and hit enter without thinking. So now Google thinks I'm very concerned about erectile dysfunction.

Dental healthcare I'd no idea how fucked it was in UK here till recently trying to find a first appointment in a new area for the 1st time in many years. It's now literally impossible to find any NHS spot, they all say they won't accept any new patients, and even trying to find private is coming up with either not accepting new people or charging £100 deposit just for an initial check that won't be for another few months anyway. Fucking Tories are draining this country of anything helpful to anyone but their own filthy rich selves.
Ugh, same boat. My dentist appears to have sacked me off for not having check-ups during COVID so I guess I'll just brush them myself.

The English have dental healthcare? Could have fooled the rest of the world.

It's not very good though, and not included in the free-at-point-of-care aspect of the NHS. I have to pay £25 just for the guy to tell me whether I've got teeth.
Still a hell of a lot cheaper than private care...assuming you can get an NHS dentist. Funnily enough a lot of them were eastern European and started to disappear once half the country decided they didn't want those terrible foreign types here.

Ah yeah, it's not outrageous, just stings a bit given it should really be a proper part of the NHS. I'm lucky enough to have a university dentist training department near here which runs a free emergency treatment section, though I think that does pretty much limit you to having it pulled out.

Wanged my finger, going to lose that nail I reckon. Burning out into last place in tomorrow's sexy hand competition.

It is 4:30am at my big corporate gym. There are three of us here and I'm wearing big headphones. Someone has started a conversation with me.

(It was a nice conversation, I just wasn't ready and handle compliments badly.)

You're just relieved they didn't want to tell you all about the benefits of drinking and bathing in your own piss.

I've finally gotten around to unsubscribing from Newegg's mailers because twice in the last week the title of their Email has boasted some steep discount on a video card that isn't actually discounted. And it's not a matter of selling out of stock unless that happens inside of an hour. False advertising now, Newegg? Fuck off.

We've been feeding a family of wild bunnies in our backyard for a couple of years. We've got at least 3 generations going, each willing to come within feet of us, ignoring any noise we make, to eat the food we put out. It's one of our joys in life to watch our bunnies hop around and eat every day. Well, this morning, I found one of them, a baby no more than 4-inches long, had drowned in our pool overnight. Talk about a shit way to start your day. I had to fish him out and unceremoniously put him in a bag, and then into the trash which made me feel like even more shit.

If it makes you feel any better, it's a kinder death than many rabbits get in the wild.

I still feel bad about the time I was driving at night and ran over a rabbit, and that was nearly thirty years ago.
