Running some tests for next 30 minutes or so.

Site is expected to continue as normal, but in case something goes wrong, this is why.

Yes...in 2016 I didn't watch any newscasts regarding returns. I was on TD the whole night until the President's acceptance speech.

I had on a TV, a laptop, and my phone. Laptop had the old reddit TD, and I kept refreshing the NYT needle, which was making me laugh.

This year, it will be two TVs, two laptops, a tablet, and my phone. LOL.

I've got an entire computer lab with 48 computers at my disposal on election night. I set up an automated program to control page refreshing at 5 cycles every second, so even if the site goes down hopefully one of the 48 computers will still be able to get in. /s

The left will be butthurt like never before and I suspect DDoS will be rampant. Cloudflare sucks. I made plans with frens to have a 9-ball tournament with the news on the home theater screen in the background. I'm taking the next day off so I can pull an all-nighter too. I doubt Biden will concede though. What else could the 600 lawyers be for?

Is this a good idea? Could it help cause TDW to tip over on election even?

2
SexualTyrannosaurus 2 points ago +2 / -0

/s = end of sarcasm online. That's how one form of DDoS used to work 15-20 years ago. I think old cell phones rigged to a software slave control is how the chinese bot farms DDoS these days. 100's of phones at a time attempt to overload a server.

That's ok, last time we were down l had a chance to talk with my wife. She told me she works in the dental field, she seems like a nice girl.

18
NormaJeanRocks 18 points ago +18 / -0

Lol. Ask her what a reasonable price is for 2 bottom molar dental implants should be. My dentist gave me a price of around 6,500, seems ridiculous to me, but to even get a quote from other dentists I have to go in get xrays and all that...more money.

I believe it’s coming, probably after the election/after trumps 12th term

Think the mods have pointed at communities.win eventually becoming the main umbrella for this whole thing. As part of that it would probably eventually include expanding to the type of Win communities you’re describing.

My guess is right now all the communities.win plans have been put on ice while the election heats up and they focus their resources on Keeping Win Great

8
NvJohansson 8 points ago +8 / -0

Yeah, that's in the ball park. Some dental colleges can have students do it under the professor's guidance for a fraction of the price, if it's available in your area, and the waiting list isn't too long. Check with your local ADA.

If not, bridges are much cheaper but a pain in the butt to maintain because you have to clean under them with a special plastic hook and floss. Hope this helps. Meanwhile l just changed dentists. KEK.

NormaJeanRocks 2 points ago +2 / -0

Ok, yea I'm looking into that too. Thanks

4
Amethyst 4 points ago +4 / -0

I looked into getting molar implants (one top and one bottom) a couple years age and that price seems consistent with what my dentist said it was cost. I decided not to do it because of how expensive it was. Maybe one day...

Trump2024 3 points ago +3 / -0

Are you a Veteran? I got into an unbelievable dental insurance program only for veterans. I got around $16,000 of dental work done recently for around $3500.

3
NormaJeanRocks 3 points ago +3 / -0

No, all I have is some crappy discount plan that took about 500$ off. I'm looking around though because its impossible to eat anything missing molars. Sucks!

3
Trump2024 3 points ago +3 / -0

Ugh, that sucks! I feel for you fren. My problems started when a molar cap broke off just before a several months long business trip. I got a new cap installed in Nepal. Long story short it destroyed the teeth above it and then my bite was so misaligned it destroyed the teeth on the other side. That $35 dollar cap ended up costing several thousand dollars. Good luck with getting through this.

1
jengapaz 1 point ago +1 / -0

Tell them you can't afford that, but ask them what they can do. A lot of dentists will lower their prices. You could also ask about a payment plan on top of that. Figure out what you can spend first and go from there.

Wishing you a lot of luck!

orthodoxvirginian 0 points ago +1 / -1

It would be cheaper for you to fly to Mexico, Argentina, or Thailand, where you can hospitals staffed by dentists and doctors that have the same quality as US centers, and get the procedure done there, while also enjoying a vacation.

Can I just report a recent problem?

In the last few days pressing the button "context" on the replies I've received opens the reply but not my own post they were answering to.

It was very useful to see what they were referring to with their reply. Opening the full thread doesn't work well when the thread is big, I can't find my OP.

Same here. You need to click the context button above that comment then scroll until you find your comment. I'm pretty sure it's a glitch from the recent maintenance from a few days ago.

The ATF is going way out of line and is attempting to redefine AR and AK pistols as an AOW, with the new definition you will have to get the gun registered. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS GUN CONFISCATION. WE NEED ACTION NOW, CALL ALL OF YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES

This is your daily PSA that Trump has been blocked by Democrats from appointing an ATF Director of his choosing. The ATF is still run by the former Acting Director.
