I switched because I'd had enough of waiting months for Samsung to push the Android updates through. I'm still not a big fan of the watches, plus I have a couple of expensive ones anyways and typically just wear a Fitbit4. Ended up going with a S24+. I like it so far.

I'm getting my first tattoo in two months with a few more down the road. Glad she was honest about some things she thought were bad ideas. LoL. My closest meeting of another forum was when @Ran helped me make sure my audio on Discord was working. I think the conversion went: ATK: Hi, can you hear me? Ran: Yeah. ATK: Thanks! Of course beforehand I had myself on mute. Thanks for the help Ran! Tears of Lys, Spockydog, Mr. Chatywin et al. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spockydog Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Which countries would you say have the best dental care, in terms of quality of care and cost? Because it certainly isn't here in the UK.

Prince of the North Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Never done it myself, but I understand many Americans (and personally know some) who have gone to Mexico for dental work due to the much lower cost. Spockydog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Every time my father in law smiles i think, 'that's our inheritance you vain bastard'. He also dropped about 20 grand on a private licence plate, but at least you normally get your money back on that. Tears of Lys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 They panic-bought bidets during the pandemic. It changed their lives. Four years after the toilet paper shortage of 2020, bidet converts say they’re never going back https://www.washingtonpost.com/home/2024/03/18/pandemic-covid-bidet-sales/ Quote While the toilet paper shortages that hit the United States during pandemic lockdowns in the spring of 2020 ultimately eased up, they’ve had a lasting impact on one industry: the bidet business. “The industry here in the U.S. just blew up. You couldn’t get a bidet if you wanted to,” says James Lin, founder of BidetKing.com, an online marketplace for all varieties of the bathroom appliance. “We all sold out. … There was a huge scramble to get more.” Bidets — which clean you up with a stream of water, reducing the need for tissue — certainly weren’t the only items that people waited months for during that strange time. But while many have regretted buying their Pelotons or even their homes, those who installed the bathroom fixture at the height of the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020 are far from remorseful. Instead, they’ve become true believers, evangelizing to family and friends and trying to help the United States catch up with the rest of the world on bidet use. .... Bidets are another good reason one loves going to Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do like Bidets or generally any water based cleaning device, they’re not common in most parts of Europe. Only Southern Europe (Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, Greece, Bosnia, Albania, Turkey and surprisingly Finland) have Bidets or other water based anal/genital/feet cleaning devices in the majority of houses… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was agreeing with you. Despite its very long Atlantic coast and lack of a Mediterranean coast, we do still tend to consider Portugal as part of Southern Europe, I guess.

Oh sorry I misunderstood you… Yes Portugal has mostly Mediterranean climate (as do Parts of California, Chile or Australia for example) Mediterranean flora and fauna, and as a result of that mediterranean cuisine… as well as being a country with a Romance language and a catholic majority all of that make it Mediterranean even if it doesn’t border the Mediterranean Sea… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophelia Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I recently came across as a concept (not seen in reality) something called a bidet-loo, which performs both functions. Then I found you can buy a bidet-wash seat thingy to put on your ordinary toilet/loo. These originate in Japan and allow you to direct a spray of water to the preferred area of your lower anatomy, with temperature control. What I thought is good is that most come with a hot air dryer too. The high end ones have everything including heated seats and veer into the ridiculous at times, with remote controls, lights, and probably a whole disco fandango along with it.
