Hey it's another year and the last of the decade.  (Yeah I know its santa, it's a mediocre OP) For those that are late - This is a chat thread for anyone who reads AI. We talk about life, how much alcohol we drink, where Rhyno has sex, STR amuses us with stories, Mad Max fan fiction, cycling, pets.... just imagine this as one large garage and we are all pretending to work on some broken assSubaru wagon while talking poo poo about anything that comes up. Anyone who is just wandering by, stop and say hello! We don't bite and we're a pretty chilled out bunch of normal people. Insert gently caress 2019 as you will. Cant really say that myself due to marriage to a very good woman but drat it was a wild and exhausting ride that I'm glad is finally over. All that fire get to you. 2020 be any better? hosed if I know. I think I'll shove my head under a car and try to get one working

If you're going to welcome me to the 20's like that at least have the decency to shoot me for running moonshine.

I hope all you Aussies avoid the fires. Looks like the battery in my landrover has died. Quite happily sits at about 12.5v volts but then drops to about 7v when cranking and this low voltage wont start the truck without a jump. I've never had one go like this - usually they don't seem to want to hold a charge - but this will happily sit at 12.3-.5v all week long until you try and use it.

I’m now 5 months into the wait to get my wisdom teeth yanked because around 50% of the people in this country are cunts who don’t like state healthcare. Don’t have a date for the op yet  I can feel them tickling my sinuses and can feel the cavity I can’t get fixed till the wisdom teeth are gone and healed

It has been a largely amazing decade. Married, many kids, and generally great outlook on life/universe/everything. 2019 is kind of a wash, in retrospect. Lots of feeling like being kicked while already down, but it did bring the newest child into our lives, so it could be much worse. I hope 2020 brings lots more positive back into our life. Thanks, goons, for being generally awesome and being a respite in the insanity that is my life sometimes.

Tomarse posted:Best wishes CSB! Dude goodluck. Wisdom teeth removal is the cake winner for misery. Fill your prescriptions before the operation. had all 4 of mine yanked at once this year. Never the gently caress again. The privilege of this experience also cost me 2.5 beater cars according to the ai sheepgame sheeps. (This was dental fuckup #1... I have insurance for this and it wasn't an emergency like yours...)

Between root canal and simple extraction? I was always afraid of the latter but turns out the recovery on that is way less of a pain in the rear end. I still have three more wisdom teeth to come out, one of which is unfortunately very much not a simple extraction.

Based on the numerous posts about "bringing back the 20's" I've seen across assorted social media, it's a fair bet that this decade is going to be insufferable.

I might not have a purty mouth... but luckily I've got a big enough one that my wisdom teeth have been comedically impacted for a decade or two with no issue.

I had all of 'em until August, had to get the right mandibular third pulled. That night SUCKED. Near-simultaneous Tylenol, ibuprofen, Benadryl, topical benzocaine, an ice pack, and two shots of whiskey got me to sleep.

There are survivors; one could think of cars like our resident AI poster with his Type R. A stock unmolested Mitsubishi GSX eclipse with less than 100k miles would be a survivor. As depreciation is settling in on the E9X M3’s there will be a batch of survivors; mine included should I be able to keep from crashing it.

It's not quite the new year for me yet, but happy new year anyway! The 2010s were a wild ride for me, but the past few years I think turned out ok. Got to watch the Sun Bowl today - not a good game, but it was damned entertaining. I should update my thread, but I did finally get my truck going again, been driving it non-stop since Christmas Eve (and pretending I can't hear that none of the exhaust is sealed)  Wisdom teeth goons, good luck to you all, that poo poo sucks.

The 2010s were pretty good to me looking back and I hope the next decade is even better, and everyone else's is too. I have 2 wisdom teeth on my lower jaw that are impacted but have never caused me pain or discomfort so they have remained for now. I actually still have a baby molar on each side down there as well that are still doing fine. My upper jaw is so big I haven't had any issues with wisdom teeth, though I have a gap in my front teeth that I really should get invisalign for.

Because of the stunning level of no fucks given by the state dental service in South Australia, they never picked up that i REALLY needed braces as a kid. As a result, Im not stuck in the situation where i have two sets of teeth that do ALL my chewing. One of them went bad and needed a root canal, but had a 90 degree root, so that was a year and a half of every 2 months going back to the dentist, have them grind their way through the temp cap, flush all the pus and gack out and try to file out a bit more of the root until it all pretty much festered away. I ate enough codine in those 18 months to kill an elephant. Now i've got a porcelain cap on it that gets the poo poo beaten out of it and lasts about 2 years before it breaks loose and needs to be refixed. Only long term solutions are: 1) Rip out the root canal tooth AND its partner on the other side and hope some other sets of teeth mesh up properly 2) rip out the root canal tooth, install a stud and put in a false tooth 3) Break and reset my jaw so I have a normal bite. None of them really sound appealing. Not after the literally thousands invested trying to save that bloody tooth.

Woke up in time for NY shenanigans. The family was watching ABC and it's hilarious to me how out of touch that network is. Usher? In 2020? GTFO.
