Quote:
For both men and women, we assume the other sex understands what's being said. In reality, male and female brains operate a little differently and women are generally far more capable when it comes to verbal communication. This advantage allows women to track multiple conversations and pick up on intricacies of speech that men can't. In essence, women are better listeners than men by default, even if it's a somewhat minor distinction. The Norwich Bulletin points to a study from the University of Sheffield that discovered the male brain has trouble tracking a woman's speech because of how it processes the sound of the female voice:
The only real solution to the problem is for both men and women to be aware and understanding of this inherent communication issue. Communication is difficult even without the gender differences, so it can help for men to make the extra effort and for women to understand that what they say may not always come across in exactly the way they think.Quote:
These researchers found differences in the way male and female brains process voice sounds. The results of this study demonstrate that, in the male brain, the perception of male and female voices activates different brain regions. The guys could easily hear and understand other men's voices. However, women have a greater natural melody in their voices and possess a more complex range of sound frequencies than a male voice. The men in the study had a harder time deciphering them and really hearing what a woman was saying. When they heard the female voices, they had to decipher them using the part of the brain that processes music - a more complex process than is used in the part of the brain that analyzes a male voice.
very interesting.
stupid girls.

Would you like it if your neighbours picked your locks to enter your house to use your phone?
The civilized thing to do is:
a) knock
b) esplain your thing about 4 weeks activation weaksauce telecom
c) ask if they would set up a temporary key that they'd share with you (or their current one, and tell them to change it once you have your own internets)
A neighbour in my building came up and asked politely, I made a temporary key for her. There's still this thing in the world called "talking to neighbours" and "helping each other out".
just rode a scooter(lol) for about an hour in 40° weather with only a pair of jeans on my legs. I got home about an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and my knees are still far below the rest of my body temp. They don't hurt or anything, they are just really cold and refuse to get warm. They are actually making the blanket fabric cold. The air around them feels colder if I hover my hand near them. My knees are essentially radiating coldness. Have a developed a super power?
Super power, or circulatory problem? Send it to Stan Lee, let him decide.Quote:

And I do think you would care if they used your line without your knowledge - possibility for people snooping on your phone calls, using it for illegal activities (idk, kiddie porn via dialup?) - all of these thoughts would certainly cross your mind if you found out they secretly broke into your phone box. If I were the neighbour and looked into my router log to discover some bastard's broken into the network I'd certainly worry about all of the above.
Anyway my point was it's even easier to ask them than to crack it, so why not just ask?
It's not easier to ask them, and that's pretty much the deciding factor.
Is the easier route always justified, even if it involves committing a felony (however minor it may seem)?
No but it's easier for me. I'm gonna neither morally justify nor feel bad about this one particular action, I'm afraid.
If I were him I'd set you up so that your traffic gets rerouted through a packet sniffer and steal your manies and donate them to disaster relief efforts and whatnot and feel good about my felony because i am robin hood.
okay but please don't
Such bad luck that commune posts don't rock the post count.

The longest gf I've had besides my current one died yesterday morning. I haven't spoken to her in probably 4-5 years but it's really getting to me. She had a brain tumor (which they thought she beat at one point) and I had no idea. There's still plenty of things that remind me of her daily. :(

I pretty much need a root canal and all that, but I do not have dental insurance, and likely will not have it for years to come. This sucks :(
Are you near a college with a dentistry school? Very cheap, best option on the table imo.

Man, I'm really sorry. I don't know what to say; you can get it pulled for much cheaper, but that sucks as an optionQuote:

Canal's are really rough on the pocketbook, but I bet you can find a dentist who does payment plans
FWIW, my root canal took away one primary causes of migraines, and I stopped getting headaches from consuming alcohol. Teeth are so important, but when they go bad, man do they ever go bad
I really hope you can get this fixed
I feel you man. 2 summers ago I started having hideous pain in response to cold in one of my molars. By the end of that year it turned into just hideous pain where I couldn't sleep or really function usefully at all. I ended up getting a root canal done (with no insurance, and without much poker income this year...) and that failed. The pain came back and within a couple weeks may have been even worse than before (this time around, heat especially triggered it, very odd.) They ended up pulling it and I got an implant put in its place. All in all I'm happy with it but it was murder on the checking account, even getting a couple breaks, and I'm pretty sure I had as many dental appointments as I would want for the next couple decades.Quote:

50 quid plus the cost of Socialism.
Yeah, that's true. And it takes ages to drink away that awful feeling of helping those less fortunate than you.

The more I think about this the crazier it seems. It's something that can leave someone in agony, something that is rediculously easy and quick to fix, something that can and most likely eventually will effect anyone and everyone. How can a wealthy country withhold such a basic servie from a (I'm assuming) large proportion of it's citizens? It's rediculous. But make sure the chicken you eat is free range, right.
You gotta love the NHS:
NHS dental charges
There are three NHS charge bands.
- Band 1: £17 includes an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish and planning for further treatment.
- Band 2: £47 includes all treatment covered by Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions).
- Band 3: £204 includes all treatment covered by Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges.

We like things to be profitable. Very, very profitable. For everyone.Quote:

Also, I have dental insurance which is insanely cheap as compared to my normal medical insurance. I've yet to use it though but if it's anything like eye insurance, the savings is very good.
edit combining posts
Well, firstly we think that perfectly straight teeth is a rediculous overkill.
Secondly, your dentists charge 2k for fillings. How much for braces? SO the question isn't why are British teeth bad, but rather how much of an incentive does an American dentist have to convince you thast your teeth should be perfectly straight?
It's spelled RIDICULOUS
GAHHH!!!
Living language. It'll be spelled rediculous in 100 years imo.
