Your understanding of how it works is mostly correct. When an instance federates a magazine, all new posts, comments, likes, downvotes, etc. will be federated/shared. But currently kbin and lemmy are not playing nice (the software that is) so it can take time or miss updates all together. Also, kbin.social is a bit jusy so there are delays as well.
Same here. Aside from one of the injections (brief stinging/pinching pain in the roof of my mouth), the entire process was painless and I didn’t even need painkillers afterwards.
That said, I can see how there’s a lot of room for different experiences between countries, different orthodontists/dentists, and even between individual patients depending on which tooth and how bad the decay was.
Not OP but the dentist thought the nerve was dead so didn't bother. It's one of my clearest childhood memories from more than 40 yrs ago and was the worst for me until about 10 yrs ago.
Yeah, I had to tell my wife that pain while drilling is not normal. We both have high tolerance for anesthetic, but it never occured to her to ask for more.
I've had too many of them, and yeah, they were mostly easier to sit through than a routine cleaning. It's definitely the kind of work where it's worth going to that small practice that ONLY does endodontics though. Nothing against the regular dentists, they just have a lot on their plates, and generally don't have the same perfectionist attitude about it when they have a schedule packed with all different types of work.
Time - Federation takes time. Especially if servers are overloaded or haven’t allocated enough federation workers. Both of these things have been true at some point for most instances since the population boom.
Defederation - Different instances can defederate from other different instances. So say for example I have three instances, lemmy.one, lem.two, and kbin.three. In this example, lemmy.one has defederated from kbin.three and the post in question is on lem.two/c/community.
You now have three scenarios:
A user visits lem.two/c/community and sees all the content.
A user visits kbin.three/m/[email protected] (or however kbin does cross instance URIs, I’m not familiar). This user sees most of the content. The limited factor here being time.
A user visits lemmy.one/c/[email protected]. This user sees most of the content, but no comments from kbin.three because of defederation.
And I could be wrong, but I believe vote federation is separate from comment federation, so if that takes more time, then the comments sections might look different even if they have the exact same comments because of vote sorting.
Time - Federation takes time. Especially if servers are overloaded or haven’t allocated enough federation workers. Both of these things have been true at some point for most instances since the population boom.
Is this why I often don't see reply notifications?
I suggest, if it's not too gooey, grab some packing tape, and press it on the adhesive. Then, pull it off quickly. You might have to do this a few times, but it's the best method I've found that doesn't leave residue, and also works with most sticky adhesives.
I had a bad hip for years. It was quite painful. I never got it looked at because I was really, really, busy. life slowed down a bunch, and even though my hip wasn’t that bad, I went to a physio to get it fixed up finally. She did dry needling in my back, and made my entire lower back and hip nothing but agony. To the point where I was hunched over while walking. I kept going back, since the onset of the pain was delayed by a few days, and It took me a while to figure it out. It made for a really crappy spring this year.
Thankfully, a massage therapist saved me from purgatory, and released the tight hip flexors so they could heal up, and I’m way better than I was before.
I don't have hip issues (yet) but I'm entering the age group where I'm definitely noticing a lot of my body I didn't think about until it started hurting... life is good though, glad you're feeling a bit better!!!
If you aren't already a really good writer, Gammarly Plus will make your work worse because you'll accept everything it tells you, and most of its corrections (compared to regular Grammarly) are straight-up wrong. It ignores your voice, your audience, your tone, your context, etc.
That said, my work pays for Grammarly Plus & I put work-related blog posts (which will end up public anyway) through it. I like the plus version because:
It forces me to really reread everything, because it highlights fucking everything. Often I will make changes unrelated to what it's saying.
It often highlights things that can be improved, but not in the way it suggests.
Sometimes, it's actually correct.
But usually it's wrong. For example:
It tells you to remove passive voice 100% of the time. This is straight-up incorrect. For example, if you're writing a post in which you talk about a new feature or patchnotes, you will use passive voice all the time. Sometimes the object of the sentence is actually the most important thing.
It often says "be more confident!" and then removes any nuance in your writing that you were using to soften the blow of something, or to make something sound more exciting, or etc.
It always tells you things like "don't use the word interesting! don't use this other word! they are too common!" Well...
Using random fancy words is an anti-pattern. Keep on saying "interesting"
Sometimes, this word in question is LITERALLY A TECHNICAL TERM IN YOUR FIELD. STOP TELLING ME NOT TO REPEAT IT.
It always wants me to say "So," at the start of every sentence. Jesus shut up. This is a thing I'm trying to REMOVE from my writing because it's a bad habit.
Anyway. I'd say it's right about 10% of the time, max. Would I pay for it? Hell fucking no. Am I using it since it's already available? Yes, absolutely. But I'm not accepting many of its changes.
Again, though, REGULAR Grammarly is usually right. Unless you have code snippets HAHAHAHAHAHAHA have fun having your Python code proofread for the rule "comma goes inside the quote." lmao. Literally they could ignore everything inside triple backticks, but do they? No.
