I've had two in the past, had my third just three days ago, my gums are still a little raw. My most recent root canal was on a hyper-sensitive tooth, so there was initially some pain, but once the dentist applied another couple of doses of anesthetic, it was painless, basically a more prolonged filling. The only thing I'd add is that my dentist recommended ibuprofen for after the anesthetic wears off, since there may be some pain, I'd second that recommendation since your gums will be sore for a few days

Flippers wouldn't help really given how horses actually swim, they kind of kick back with each of they're legs in a sequence similar to a trot. Their hooves already have a bit of a hollow which likely helps with swimming. Honestly though horses are pretty good swimmers, because they have huge lungs which helps them stay afloat with ease

Well, there is a technical difference between a limit of 10 requests/minute and 100 request/10 minutes. The average is the same, but the later allows for 100 requests in a minute followed by 9 minutes of nothing, whereas the former does not and 1 request/6 seconds is even worse

Because each is worth $100

I think the point is that people's routine isn't tied to sunrise. For example, in the summertime I start work about 4 hours after sunrise, and in the winter I start work 20mins after sunrise. The difference would actually be more dramatic without daylight savings With timezones and modern internet you don't need to look up the offset at all, you just look up the current time in that zone and decide if that's an appropriate time to call. Speaking as someone who deals with timezones a fair bit, both in work and personal life. And as someone who understands the headache of dealing with them in international computer systems, the time zone system is a very nice compromise. Though daylight savings need to die

I would have agreed with you a couple of weeks ago, but this video explains it well. It wouldn't be such a well known fallacy if it wasn't so counterintuitive.

Oh, I've several. Irish people love a good curse.

Go mbrise an diabhal do dhá chois May the devil break your legs

Go ndéana an diabhal dréimire do chnámh do dhroma May the devil make a ladder out of your spine

Go n-imí an droch aimsir leat That the bad weather leaves with you

Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat May the cat eat you and may the devil eat the cat

And my personal favourite: Lá breá ag do chairde, dod adhlacadh May your friends have a fine day, burying you
