That archive part I get, but the staff believing I was no longer able to see my doctor is the stupid part.

You bet, although draw is a stretch; it is mostly watered down ink, brushed on wet paper l, to get a watercolour effect. And then some fine ink brush, and fineliner tip pen for those tiny cross-hatch areas.

This makes no real sense. If you are a healthy person you aren't a "burden" on your doctor anyway. You are juat a name in their databae until you actually get sick. Removing you from a doctors care helps nobody.

Anecdotally, this scenario happened to me , not by government, but by overzealous office staff. After 5-6 years of never seeing my doctor I had to make an appointment. Staff said I wasn't a patient anymore and my file had been archived. WUT? i insisted the guy was atill my doctor, so they said they would call him up to see if he would still see me after 6 years. He responded "Of course I will still see him, he is my patient, you don't go to the doctor if you aren't sick!"

He seemed genuinely puzzled at his staffs logic. But seems from this article more people struggle with logic.

Yep, I assumed they would have run across them on a motherboard, or sata card at least, but no. It was like I got dropped from a time machine and was aaking for a phonograph

If you dock your phone it will run with display keyboard and mouse. Not all phones support it though

Through termux you can already install a full linux distro on android. It is a little slow, but full desktop environment. Not bad if you have a phone that supports display output

I have a pack of about 40. I needed 2 to set some old drives and talked to Geek Squad staff and other local computer places. The young staff had no clue what I was describing, so I had to order in bulk on AliExpress

I took artistic liberties. Sorry

I heard the horror stories but from older generation. My root canal was easy.

They took xrays to view how deep the tooth went.

Froze area flattened a spot drilled in, and would stop and measure depth compared to xray and go again.

Dentist explained, too shallow and they would miss infected material, too deep and they could damage bone and nerve in jaw.

They cleaned it with a flexible metal tool, like I imagine as a tiny baby bottle brush, and a solution that smelled like bleach.

Filled it with a rod of material, and then did the regular filling type stuff on the hole.

Zero pain after, and abaolutely no after affects or pain.

If you want to borrow a digitized bok from their library you need a login.
