Here's another amusing quote from my wallpaper changer:

Re: More Stuff
There are also kits for temporary (until you get to the dentist) relief of toothache.
Sorry, I can't suggest any specific ones, since I haven't used one in twenty years or more.
For general ongoing tooth sensitivity, I use Sensodyne toothpaste.

Re: More Stuff
The ones I've seen are usually based on eugenol (clove oil), sometimes diluted and/or in a carrier of some sort. Dentists also use eugenol.
+1 to that. It's been a great help to me.For general ongoing tooth sensitivity, I use Sensodyne toothpaste.
I've been rinsing with diluted hydrogen peroxide for years... not for pain but for general oral hygiene. My dentist approves, and seems quite happy with how my teeth are doing at the age of 66.
Glad to hear you could have your tooth-mechanic deal with the problem properly. As far as I know, all of the off-the-shelf remedies and treatments are simply stopgaps... when our teeth and gums need professional attention, they need professional attention.

Re: More Stuff
I'm sorry, but I believe you are stretching credibility, here... I don't believe your teeth are much older than 65...

Re: More Stuff
That depends on when you start counting their age. As "tooth buds" they're as old as the rest of me, but if you want to count from the first time they saw the light of day, I imagine they're between 55 and 60.
The ones which would have been 65 by now have long since been shed, and traded to the Tooth Fairy for various small bits of coinage.

Oragel makes one (white bottle, red label), and you can also use a 50/50 mix of water and hydrogen peroxide.

Does anyone know of a good video editing software that is free and easy to use and figure out without needing to wade through a ton of different videos that are actually irrelevant?
Folks have recommended OBS, but OBS is only for recording and streaming, not editing, and I need to record and edit.

Haven't looked at video editing software lately - been doing a fair amount of transcoding, but that's not editing...Alkarii wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 5:08 pm Does anyone know of a good video editing software that is free and easy to use and figure out without needing to wade through a ton of different videos that are actually irrelevant?

Googling, i found some articles that purport to list the best free video editing software { they seem to like Lightshot}:

https://www.techradar.com/best/free-vid ... g-software
https://www.creativebloq.com/buying-gui ... g-software
Also, i found a couple packages that sound as if they might possibly be good; i used VSDC manymany years agone, but i really don't remember much about it:

Re: More Stuff
Personally, I use Kdenlive. Been doing so on and off for several years, already (i.e. been using it for years, but not regularly...) It's a very good piece of software, available for Linux, MacOS and Windows. Plenty of features, but not hard to use.
Re: More Stuff
I tried OpenShot, and I couldn't find anything like a record button, and anything I recorded with OBS wouldn't have the audio when I previewed it using OpenShot.
I might try Lightshot later today. I can't do it right this second because I have a hiring event to go to.

Well, since it seems to be a pain in the butt to get anyone to hire me, I'm strongly considering becoming a substitute teacher. My mom does it, and apparently it's really easy to do, and she decides what days she goes in to sub teach... Which most of the time has just been babysitting.
If I can do that, I'm also considering looking inti whether or not one of the local technical universities has courses for game design/development.

If there's a labor shortage, then why the hell are employers being stingy about giving people jobs when they meet the posted requirements?

Usually because they have the candidate they want but were required by legal to post the opening anyway.

I'm at the Arkansas Comic Convention with my sister's oldest kid. I'd never been to a convention before now, and I learned something really important about conventions:
They're boring as hell.

They can be . . . it depends on what they're about, how interested you are in that, who's there, and how tolerant of crowds you are.
Also on the attitude of the other attendees.
