School dentists in the 1960s made sure children didn't suffer the toothaches they suffer now.

Children learning to brush their teeth isn't enough. We need to make sure they all have access to free dental care.

Not my experience at all... the school dentist I had in the early 1970s, drilled teeth unnecessarily so as to fill them (and earning a per-filling payment) ruining my teeth for life, and leaving me with low-level dental problems for most of my life....
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Aargh! What a nightmare.

I had a lot of fillings back them but it's likely I needed then. The black heavy 'gas mask' was so awful I clearly remember it decades later.

My concern now is that children with teeth in terrible condition aren't getting the care they need.

Much is down to parents not doing anything to prevent dental decay (like mine) but that's no consolation for a child in pain.

Yes in my life the pendulum has swing from over-filling to no filling - through driven by similar profiteering motives
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

@ChrisMayLA6 I feel very lucky to have had a great NHS dentist for the past 20 years. I too experienced over-interventionist dentists in my youth though.
in reply to Delphi

@ChrisMayLA6 'Back then' dentists got paid by the filling which was a completely naive way to organise public health, because it incentivised the unscrupulous (present in every profession) to administer unecessary 'treatment'. Forty years on from a trusting visit to a charlatan in Tooting i am living with the consequences of his deceit & greed, and curse him every day.

@RejoinEU
Same here.... my mother never visited a dentist in her entire 96 years - the luck that that bastard dentist at school robbed me of...


Wij zien al lang dat "The War On Drugs" niet werkt, maar Trump voert die steeds verder op en stuurt nu zelfs #F35's naar de Puerto Rico.

“I don’t know anything about that,” Trump just told reporters, when asked about today’s NYT scoop on a bungled Navy SEAL covert operation that Trump reportedly ordered in early 2019. The failed mission left unarmed North Koreans dead, says the NYT. Gift link: nytimes.com/2025/09/05/us/navy…


Huh, I have a #OmniOS machine and a bhyve-branded zone running #FreeBSD on it. The zone has a vnic attached to the physical interface.

If I download the hetzner speedtest 100mb file on the physical host, it reaches speeds of up to 1230kbps and takes 1 minute 24 seconds to finish.

If I do the same thing on the FreeBSD vm, it reaches speeds of up to 15.6mbps and finishes in 7 seconds.

How is that even possible?

I would assume buffer size. Or, less likely, a cache somewhere after the first test run. Did you run the speed test multiple times?
in reply to DistroWatch

@distrowatch It was indeed caused by small buffer sizes being configured by default mastodon.illumos.cafe/@aru/115…

Republican lawmakers cited our criticisms of the Biden administration’s press freedom policies at a hearing this week.

We reminded them that Trump’s been even worse. Think they'll do anything about it?

in reply to Freedom of the Press

It's hard to compare Pres. Autopen to Trump. Biden read answers to pre-approved questions off cards, while Trump just insults the press who maligned him and tried get him jailed and worse.


Imagine, one day in 2018 you get in argument on twitter with a woman about her daughter…… you then attack and abuse anyone who disagrees with you. Your repellent and obnoxious, you encourage violence, you diminish and diminish human beings because you can’t lose that argument], your wife leaves you, your career is in ruins, your agent drops you when call David Tennant an ‘abusive groomer’ and you are rightly arrested at an airport for encouraging violence against people…….. but it’s not your fault

Good news for those of you who occasionally do a bit of online shopping during your working day - provided its taking up less than an hour of your working day that (officially/legally) not a sackable offence (that is unless your contract explicitly states you cannot use your work computer for personal reasons).

So before you browse during your working day, best to check your contract.
