I think body image is something that we all struggle with. Even at my thinnest I thought I was fat. I’ve gained weight and lost it and still think of my imperfections. Society seems to be moving toward the trend of super thin bodies being in style again. I wish body types weren’t a trend and we could appreciate all shapes and sizes.
Sorry, last comment for this episode. I want to shout out to Jeff. He’s always been a great friend and I’m so happy that we can share our enjoyment of this show together. I need to go call him now, Thanks for a great episode and a great show that brings people together!
PSA: Just some advice to tall people out there, just because you are tall does not mean you can fight, short-person energy exists for a reason – experience. A lot of us were bullied when young and learned how to fight, now we are out there waiting for someone, anyone to cross that line.
As a short person, I have never started a fight as an adult. I have, however, ended quite a few, and they were all against a person or persons who were taller than me.
Of all the NBA players I’ve watched over the years, Muggsy is the one I would always choose to win a fight because he’s got that short-person energy.
Scott F. McAfee was completely out of pocket for allowing the motion to dismiss move forward at all. At no point in the motion was there any evidence suggesting any conflict of interest. The fact that the piece of shit let it get to testimony and then criticized her in a misogynistic, bigoted, unprofessional manner should have him disbarred. It is unfortunate that someone as politically biased, unprofessional, and unqualified as him could ever be considered for a judicial nomination. Fani Willis did nothing wrong, and him letting it get any air should disqualify him from being a judge and lawyer for the rest of his life.
I’ve been resisting going on a “I know too much information and I have to let it out” post for a minute.
That being said, dental cement is, generally speaking, around 50-200 megapascal (MPa) (there are different types of dental cement for different purposes). 90 MPa is the most common while 200 MPa is, as far as I know, the strongest adhesive we currently have. Nail glue is 1.3-10 MPa.
Furthermore, many nail glues are bioreactive, meaning that they can cause inflammation and other reactions. So, your veneers are going to pop off if you eat anything harder than a banana and your gums are going to be in extreme pain, in other words, it is a bad idea to use nail glue on your teeth.
I wouldn’t recommend it either as a tool for dentists for many reasons, my experience with nail glue just gives me the confidence that it can fix anything. Pain or toxicity have not been part of my consideration.
Nail glue is stronger than most glues you can get on the market and on-par with some industrial glues. However, dental cement is a different level.
Body issues can really get better and they did with me.
In earlier days, when someone said something hurtful, I took it to myself, felt bad and started a plan how I would loose some weight this time and looked at myself critically .
Now my therapied self can say : this was hurtful, it’s true. It is something about the person saying it and their insecurities and not you, Apia. Your body is good, you take good care of it and it doesn’t matter that it’s not perfect.
I don’t turn against myself just because someone says something hurtful. This was a big gamechanger here.
I still have to do this actively a few times a year, but more and more it comes naturally. Unlearning bad habits takes time.
Nail glue has to do a hard job. It has to hold an artificial nail glued to your natural nail for days, while you are going about your day and doing all kind of hand stuff, wash you hands and so on.
I have gave it jobs when construction glue from the hardware store gave up. My miracle nwul glue costs 3 euros.
