Hi r/Dentists!

I have an infection in one of my molars - it's a very old, deep filling and now need a root canal. My dentist is unsure if they'll be able to do it as I also have pulp stones in that tooth great, I know.

There's a slot at the dentist on the morning of the day I leave - one week from today, but they've warned that if they're unable to do it and have to refer me elsewhere it will likely make things worse! I'm currently on antibiotics and told the pain should clear up before I go.

I'm away for 2 weeks - they've offered to do the RC after I get back and give me some more antibiotics in case symptoms return while I'm away.

Any advice? I am stressed and not thinking clearly

Hello r/royalmail

I've had a package arrive from Sweden today. I can see on the tracking that there is a customs charge to pay, but I cannot pay it online (when I click it it tells me there are no charges).

It's at my local delivery office - will I be able to go there and get it? If so, what will I need? I won't be able to provide a bill or anything with proof of address as it was being delivered to my office, but I have another package with that address on!

I pre ordered ghost of yotei from Argos as it was the cheapest place and I had a one4all gift card to use.

After talking to customer service about 5 times since release date (last Thursday) they've agreed that the package is lost and are going to send out another one. I can apparently expect a delivery update by the end of the week.

I'm pretty pissed off at this point - not least because the item is now cheaper than it was when I ordered it! There's an Argos 5 mins from my office - if I go and buy another copy there, would I get away with returning my pre ordered copy to the shop when it finally arrives?

Slightly optimistic of me maybe but i was expecting a cut for time this week!

Hi r/tabletopsimulator

My boss/good friend had a pretty devastating stroke a couple of months ago, and at the moment is still pretty much only able to use one hand.

Over the last few years, he's rediscovered a love of Warhammer 40k, and i was looking into how he might be able to play from hospital. This led me here!

I asked another colleague who has some (several years old) Tabletop Simulator experience and he said that it was pretty finicky, but that things might have changed since he last played.

So i come to you, TTS community, to ask if you think playing WH40K on here is something someone with limited motor control would be able to do - I'm not keen on dropping the cash for it

As title says, really. Me and my partner are looking to purchase a first home relatively soon - is it worth us opening LISAs or would we need to have the accounts for over a year to use the funds?

I'm leaning more towards waiting until the stamp duty holiday ends before we purchase anyway as our budget is pretty limited and we live in Bristol, but if we opened them today would we have to wait until next September to get our bonuses?

Had a bit of an issue with my laptop, looking more and more unfixable so looking for something very cheap so I can continue to play while battle pass is still ongoing.

Really just need it to run dota on medium settings at 30fps and don't even need it to last long - I will hopefully be buying a bigger place with my other half soon and will likely purchase a desktop computer then. Unfortunately the fact that we're applying for a mortgage means I can't really spend a lot right now, either!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a little budget machine to tide me over? Dota had been a great help during this lockdown (I hadn't played in a few years prior!)

Hi! As stated in the title my laptop has developed an issue in the last couple of hours where the caps, scroll and num lock indicators start flashing, and then the laptop shuts down.

This seems to only happen when I'm playing a game, so I'm guessing it could be an overheating issue? I did download speedfan and can see that the temperatures only rise to the mid-forties (i don't know what's acceptable, to be honest!) and as it happens within moments of opening the game I'm unsure if this is the issue.

I've opened the laptop up, removed the ram and wireless card and replaced them as a quick google suggested this as a possible quick fix but no luck.

Any ideas much appreciated!

Obviously it's only been about half a day since the balance patch landed, but dotabuff is already showing some pretty significant winrate changes for a number of heroes. I've got the top and bottom 5 here for convenience

Most notably are obviously Underlord being up 8% and Bloodseeker being down 12%. It's also worth noting that while Storm Spirit and Gyro saw significant increases in winrate, they're still below 50%, and Lone Druid despite a drop of 4% is still over 50%, so these heroes are just closer to where they should be.

I also think Bloodseekers significant drop can be put down at least in part due to people not knowing how to play the "new" Bloodsee

I remember in the run up to brawl i had a whole list of characters that i desperately wanted to be in Smash.

When 4 was coming out i had basically forgotten it was coming until the Japanese release, at which point i was just happy to have the game...

Now, with 68(?) playable characters I'm not holding out hope for anyone in particular, I'm just desperately awaiting release day and will be satisfied no matter who else we get. I've tried thinking who would be my top choice of newcomer and haven't really been able to pick anyone who isn't already in. Anyone else feel this way?
