After doing my x-rays the hygienist said that I had "curved" roots (or maybe she said "curly", I think curved makes more sense). Is this anything of clinical significance?

I remember reading online that for a marriage to take place it requires the permission of the pastor of the parish in whose territory the wedding happens. Now, I think my parish is actually designated as specifically a parish for people of Italian ethnicity (this is in the US). Would parishes like this still have territory?

And another thing, my city has about five different parishes, would my house generally be located in the territory of the church that is physically closest to me, or is it possible to have an area under the territory of one parish even though it's closer to another?

On on the "Design a Movie Review Page" assignment towards the end of the HTML curriculum and part of the lab wants us to put a rating in stars (out of ten) inside a span with actual stars and then a numerical rating right after the span. But so far as I remember, FCC never taught us how to make stars. I tried typing asterisks, that didn't work.

So when you go to buy a game it will have the price on the top (a lot of time's it's free but there's like an optional $2) and then below a couple buttons to add another 2 or 3 dollars or whatever. Or you could just type it in. It took me a while to figure out, at first I thought the top number was for the developer and the bottom button was to give money to Itchio

So when I log into my dad's account, he was born in 1959 so FRA is 66 and 10 months. So when I adjust the different dates to see what the monthly benefit is, if I choose age 67 it gives the same monthly benefit as it does for his FRA age. Now on a different section of the SSA website, which doesn't require a log-in, any additional month I wait after FRA gives about half a percent boost. So for instance at 66 and 10 months my dad would get 100% of his benefits, but if he waited two more months he'd get 101.33% (this is the early or late retirement page: Early or Late Retirement). Which calculation is correct? I'm inclined to believe it's the second one.

So it seems to me that as long I've been aware of domestic policy (so basically since Obama became presidnet) no matter who the president is or what his party is, there's always this disconnect where the president's supporters are saying the economy is doing well and where the average American doesn't agree. And usually the evidence that the economy is doing well tends to be unemployment numbers and the stock market, while for people "on the street" the complaint is usually about "everything goes up but the pay".

Now most Americans do own stocks, but for most Americans it's just in their retirement fund so not much use to them when they're still working. And most Americans only own a small share of stocks: 87% of stocks are owned by only 10% of the population (How Many Americans Own Stock? More Than You Think | The Motley Fool) so for the average American the stock market doesn't actually mean much to them.

Or maybe it actually does, but in a negative sense. So my thinking is that: stocks are a measure of a company's profits, and profit is revenue minus expense. Now revenue is essentially what they charge people and expense is what they pay people.

So if companies paid better and charged less, they'd be less profitable and their stock value would fall, but for most Americans wouldn't this be better? So let's say your pay goes up 10% and your bills go down 10%, would you actually be better off even though the value of your retirement account is down?

I was thinking yesterday...if my memory serves me correct, Time Force debuted in February (2001) and Ninja Storm had it's finale in November (2003). So did all the seasons (or maybe just a slew of consecutive seasons) run from a February debut to a November finale and then repeats in between November and February?

Also was it weekday episodes repeats and Saturdays new episodes? I seem to remember being on a bus for a fieldtrip and later that day being a new episode (the one Loki was killed in).

As the title says, do stuff in the recycle bin automatically delete after a certain amount of time Or stay there indefinitely until I decide to delete them?

I have windows 11 on both of my current devices (come to think of it, I think my old computer updated to 11 too).

So the district pays per diem (it has full day and half day pay) by school year. It hasn't increased this year, so I think it's the same rate for both 2024-5 and 2025-6. But our state's minimum wage adjusts for cost of living and that adjustment goes into effect on Jan 1.

When I calculate my hours I get about 7 and a half for a full day, but half hour unpaid lunch (plugging start and end times online shows it to be 6 hours 56 mins or 6.93 hours). So If I multiply that by state hourly minimum wage it seems a full day pay comes up about 40 cents short of the minimum wage.

On the other hand a few weeks ago I worked an assignment that was about half and hour longer than a half day, but they rounded it to a full day, so I got full day pay, which when I divided it by the hours on my paystub (that was the only day I worked that week) I got about $26 per hour, which is almost $10 an hour more than state minimum for that day. But I don't think, legally, that makes any difference that it may sometimes do that. Right?

So technically speaking, shouldn't my district both up their wage for the upcoming school year and pay back pay for the $0.40 per hour they've been underpaying?
