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

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

A local beach near me in Ireland has people parking exclusively on the beach, that said, it's a massive breach with plenty of space.

I never have heard of anyone's car getting overtaken by the tide, but perhaps the local farmer has pulled a few people out

Another local beach is as you described, no parking on the beach, walk on only. I think it depends on the kind of beach and the way things are set up

I'm not entirely sure that horse riding is more dangerous, I'm not that experienced with motorbikes, but I ride horses all the time, I reckon you might fall from a horse more often, but it's usually a fairly simple thing, not going too fast or anything. Unless you're talking about horse racing which is quite dangerous, but most riders do other, much safer thing on horseback.

That said, I live in rural Ireland where from what I understand, the roads are significantly more dangerous for motorbikes do that might be skewing my perspective.

Though random fools telling you that what you're doing is dangerous are, to me, overstepping. As long as you're not putting others in excess danger you should be left alone.
