Yeah - if they don't cause problems I'm not sure why anyone would have them pulled...
Whoa. Back in the home country? I hope she pulls through.MIL is fighting for her life on a ventilator, courtesy of Covid. It is a kinda surprising development since she must have gotten infected two weeks after her first dose of Pfizer.
The vaccines aren't 100% effective. Anyone in a high risk category should still be taking precautions. The value of a vaccine has less to do with preventing an individual getting sick but creating an environment where the disease will stop spreading thus protecting everyone. Of course we will fuck that up because Americans are dumb and selfish. But hopefully we can get to a point where Rt<1 without further precautions.I also have all my wisdom teeth. I believe the pro-active removal of those is a patented American practice to make the dentist cats fatter, and this article agrees Evidence Is Mounting That Routine Wisdom Teeth Removal Is a Waste of Time (sciencealert.com)
In other news, USPS sorted its fuck ups and delivered my stuff, work is indeed stressful, and MIL is fighting for her life on a ventilator, courtesy of Covid. It is a kinda surprising development since she must have gotten infected two weeks after her first dose of Pfizer.
My dentist told me pulling them at my age was a risk - permanent damage of nerves, not worth the risk until they start causing problems.Yeah - if they don't cause problems I'm not sure why anyone would have them pulled...
Yep, my guess is it's the UK variant but we have almost no access to any details. Thank you, not looking great ATM.Whoa. Back in the home country? I hope she pulls through.

Alternative theory: the fast guys do not Strava?I have like 10 DH top five Strava segment trophies here, so people must ride slow.
I still have three of four - one self-destructed a couple of years ago.My dentist told me pulling them at my age was a risk - permanent damage of nerves, not worth the risk until they start causing problems.
Similar here. Just one pulled last year. I think they're all out now. Each due to cavity or gum health concerns. Essentially easier to pull than to fix.I had my last wisdom tooth pulled at age 63 when it cracked. My jaw is large enough that They didn't crowd the rest of my teeth.
Nope, these are the same guys that win all of the races/etc. There just arent many of them.Alternative theory: the fast guys do not Strava?
So you are saying you are a medium size fish in a small pond? Got it!Nope, these are the same guys that win all of the races/etc. There just arent many of them.
2 weeks out from shot 1 is ~50% efficacy against symptomatic disease iircSorry to hear @StiHacka, especially on top of your bike news from yesterday. Maybe if you rode a 6 year old euro frame, you'd be OK
I am surprised that the vaccine didn't give your MIL at least some defense against it.
TY @Sandwich. I am keeping the Riot frame in a box for situations like this but I'll have to figure out how to effing unBoost a rear wheel or reBoost the Riot frame because of all the combinations of all Hadley adapters ever sold, I miss the 142/XD driver one.Sorry to hear @StiHacka, especially on top of your bike news from yesterday.

don't feel bad man. that's 100% on him. and if he really likes riding he'll be back at it again soon.Welp, the guy at work I recently introduced to biking went off alone to the trails "just for some climbing for exercise" on the main dirt road, and then decided he'd ride the DH track down on his own, alone, on Friday...on his Marin hardtail with a Suntour fork...and got a concussion and a broken wrist, only diagnosed today. Boss is thankfully not beating me up about it.
I should never have even shown him that stuff.
how are the drugs....My toofses. Oof. 2/10 - would not recommend.
never had mine pulled...how are you in your 50s with wisdom teeth
People take drugs for this, other than OTC pain killers?how are the drugs....
there are days I really miss walking dogs for s living....with the mountain views of course...back home and trying to work a bit but my officemate's a seriously bad influence

I have never taken anything for the couple of root canals I have had....People take drugs for this, other than OTC pain killers?Dafuq is wrong with them?
The U.S. Military requires them to be removed so there is no chance of them causing problems at the wrong time. If you have them when you join, you wont by the time you are out.Yeah - if they don't cause problems I'm not sure why anyone would have them pulled...
I sure am glad they gave me a px for Norco/Vicodin 'cause my face kinda feels like it was smashed several times with a maul.People take drugs for this, other than OTC pain killers?Dafuq is wrong with them?
Damn foreigners coming in and taking all yer KOMs.Holy crap, about 12, 000 vert done so far today, and we are doing two more. I feel old...my riding buddy here is one of the fastest downhillers in thw country (32), and today we rode with his friend who is one of the fastest up and comers at 18.
I have like 10 DH top five Strava segment trophies here, so people must ride slow.
(Actually, I am humbled that they ride with me, I have been riding SO cautiously to prove to y'all that im not a total spaz).
So fun, this is just amazing.
