You have no business criticising someone else's dental habits if you don't at least go for regular check-ups yourself.

If you were to go, you could ask the dentist how common braces are in your age group, and mention you know someone in your age group who has worn braces for x amount of time, and ask if they would have any concerns about that practice.

Do you both visit the dentist regularly? What does her dentist have to say on the subject?

Gandalf said in Fellowship that Saruman had crossed orcs with goblin-men. How does that make sense if they are the same thing?

It's not that social norms have changed. What happens is individual people don't realize how fucked up predators are until they get older. If you observe something as a teen and are told it's "creepy" and "gross," that's all you think it is. But then you get older and realize that it's actually much more sinister than that. There's manipulation, there are systemic injustices that enable it, there are people who don't know how to spot abused kids or feel like they can't upset the apple cart without throwing their own lives away.

It's like saying nobody understood algebra until YOU took an algebra class.

Correct. The goblins we see in LotR are in Moria.

Also the goblin king's lair in The Hobbit.

You make rice, beans, most veggies and micro-apartments ultra cheap and subsidized, so everyone can at least survive. People will be motivated to upgrade, which incentivizes work.

Solar cells are crystalline and rigid. You wouldn't be able to fold the umbrella up and put it away. Also, as someone else pointed out, solar cells work best in sunlight... which you won't want an umbrella for.

They, like many other bands, stopped doing what they were good at, to experiment. It's not as good.

I don't hate them, but their good albums were a long time ago.

It doesn't take very long to look at ratings. If it's crap it'll have crap ratings.

Read reviews. Examine promotional materials. Discuss with friends.

 

Gallery is my preferred photo viewer. I'd like to be able to delete and move files without being asked for permission every time, and I understand this screen is where that is controlled. However, I don't know how to add an app to this screen, so I can set the setting to allow. Any ideas?

 

Let's say you are dying of starvation. You pull one of your teeth out, causing blood to slowly seep into your mouth, which you swallow. The calories from the blood getting digested will delay the time you die of starvation, right? Or will losing blood while starving kill you faster?

 

The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.

The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.

 

I love these mechanics. Manually controlling a player character to run around a world doing these things is great for immersion.

I've already played Skyrim and My Time at Portia.
