Was particularly annoying as it started off with my first and only filling that was fairly insignificant. That fell out a month later, they made a bigger hole for a replacement filling, the side enamel then cracked off and it got to the point they just said "There's more filling than tooth now, let's just drill it right down to a stump and stick a crown on it. The dental equivalent of Father Ted's attempt to fix that dent on the car. Precisely what I'm having done in about 45 minutes! Side enamel cracked off after a filling; I've had a temporary crown for the last couple of weeks and going to have the permanent one fitted now. I was fine about it until I read your post! (Helps that the dentist is a definite wid. But no pics as that would be creepy.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 “Avogadro’s number, a basic unit of measure in chemistry, which was named for Avogadro long after his death. It is the number of molecules found in 2.016 grams of hydrogen gas (or an equal volume of any other gas). Its value is placed at 6.0221367 x 10^23, which is an enormously large number. Chemistry students have long amused themselves by computing just how large a number it is, so I can report that it is equivalent to the number of popcorn kernels needed to cover the United States to a depth of nine miles, or cupfuls of water in the Pacific Ocean, or soft drink cans that would, evenly stacked, cover the Earth to a depth of 200 miles. An equivalent number of American pennies would be enough to make every person on Earth a dollar trillionaire. It is a big number.”[emoji44] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 In a Vietnamese place earlier, two notable things. Without any irony, a guy came in and asked if it was dog friendly. Thankfully they chased him. I got cutlery, but watched other Asian customers use chopsticks. What a performance, sooking and slabbering, scraping food in to their gubs from the edge of the bowl etc. Chopsticks don't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you noticed that when people eat Chinese food in American films, everybody uses chopsticks? Is it taught at school or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
