I’ve had two in the past, had my third just three days ago, my gums are still a little raw. My most recent root canal was on a hyper-sensitive tooth, so there was initially some pain, but once the dentist applied another couple of doses of anesthetic, it was painless, basically a more prolonged filling. The only thing I’d add is that my dentist recommended ibuprofen for after the anesthetic wears off, since there may be some pain, I’d second that recommendation since your gums will be sore for a few days

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim?
27·2 years agoFlippers wouldn’t help really given how horses actually swim, they kind of kick back with each of they’re legs in a sequence similar to a trot. Their hooves already have a bit of a hollow which likely helps with swimming. Honestly though horses are pretty good swimmers, because they have huge lungs which helps them stay afloat with ease

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth?
4·2 years agoI think the point is that people’s routine isn’t tied to sunrise. For example, in the summertime I start work about 4 hours after sunrise, and in the winter I start work 20mins after sunrise. The difference would actually be more dramatic without daylight savings With timezones and modern internet you don’t need to look up the offset at all, you just look up the current time in that zone and decide if that’s an appropriate time to call. Speaking as someone who deals with timezones a fair bit, both in work and personal life. And as someone who understands the headache of dealing with them in international computer systems, the time zone system is a very nice compromise. Though daylight savings need to die

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The Gambler's Fallacy makes sense logically, but it feels so wrong emotionally.
17·2 years agoI would have agreed with you a couple of weeks ago, but this video explains it well. It wouldn’t be such a well known fallacy if it wasn’t so counterintuitive.

4·2 years agoA local beach near me in Ireland has people parking exclusively on the beach, that said, it’s a massive breach with plenty of space.
I never have heard of anyone’s car getting overtaken by the tide, but perhaps the local farmer has pulled a few people out
Another local beach is as you described, no parking on the beach, walk on only. I think it depends on the kind of beach and the way things are set up

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?
14·3 years agoOh, I’ve several. Irish people love a good curse.
Go mbrise an diabhal do dhá chois May the devil break your legs
Go ndéana an diabhal dréimire do chnámh do dhroma May the devil make a ladder out of your spine
Go n-imí an droch aimsir leat That the bad weather leaves with you
Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat May the cat eat you and may the devil eat the cat
And my personal favourite: Lá breá ag do chairde, dod adhlacadh May your friends have a fine day, burying you
There’s a typescript client here, you could look at that for examples, I can’t see any dedicated API documentation anywhere https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/tree/main/src

Just wanted to add to this for those who don’t know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don’t work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support
