 Since the bite in 2018, there was always some doubt about whether 2 or 1 molar was cracked.  After the 1st crown went in & it didn't eliminate all the pain, there was always some doubt about whether the root canal was bad or the 2nd molar was cracked. Signs of it being the 2nd molar slowly grew over the years.  There was a slowly growing, intermittent pain from that tooth.  It wasn't the usual crack, but a crack in 1 corner right next to crown 1.  Only after temporary crown 2 went in was it clearly the 2nd molar.  That ended most of the pain, but there was still a crack in the dentin in the trouble spot.  They didn't do a root canal for molar 2 & having a temporary crown without a root canal is a rough experience.  Temperature sensitivity, pressure sensitivity abound.  It seems to be just held on by gravity & pops off while rinsing. Root canals are the worst experiences, but definitely have their benefits.  The permanent cro...

   Ruby was the point where lions realized programming languages were an industry based on engagement rather than the pursuit of any particular goal.  Some languages were required to support a device.  They all require wrappers in previous languages. They all have some form of memory safety. Lions were only briefly entranced by the merits of different languages in the beginning, but even then, they needed a practical rationale.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Another day, another sequence of earthquakes.  These seem to have been triggered by another big one near Japan.   The ones on 11/8 maxed out at 3.8.  Today's maxed out at 3.6.  Construction on a new apartment complex began closer to 11/8.  It seems the rumbling noise is coming from the laundry machines.  They start making noise long before lions can feel anything.  We have 2...

   The big day came & went.  It was 4h19m38s.  It was faster than any fair training effort, despite overcoming challenges with the mobs & getting water.  The training times were being improved by 30 minute bathroom breaks or long breaks for eating.  The fairer training times were without breaks. 12,350 women finished.   17,797 men finished.  No men got an OTQ on that course while the top woman did.  It seems to attract the military, which made it manely men.  The largest age group was 25-29.  Lions are in the twilight of the marathon age groups.  Lions were damn slow, but somehow above the median in both age group & overall. The weather was as good as possible.   Had diarrhea for several hours before the race.  Only got to where it could be held, but moving to the starting line wasn't easy on an empty stomach.  Either goldfish or cheezeits caused diarrhea for the 1st time. Lions left the hotel 1 hour...
