Here's one that throwawayflirt did not answer.

On the ones who "pass" the test, do you ever come clean to them that you were a test? Do they actually end up closer once they realize they were tested?

Hi Dentist! I will +1 on this one.

/u/throw_away4138 Have you considered implant-supported prosthetics? It is SO MUCH nicer than dentures, but pretty insane in cost depending on the work you need. I got mine a couple years ago and it was basically my life savings (and some debt) at that time.

The whole procedure was four surgeries and nine months, but being able to eat, smile, speak, and live pain-free are all amazing.

You don't need one-implant-per-tooth. I am doing well with six total implants: https://i.imgur.com/jjm80j0.jpg

This is unfair. I had such a crush on you when I was a teenager and now I look and somehow I look much older than you are.

Are you sure you didn't actually become part vampire from that one vampire movie?

I am glad iFixIt and Valve are working together now. This story of mine came before it:

My question: as my research in that post shows, California law has minimum terms for repair availability both in and out of warranty. How do we get manufacturers to either offer for-pay parts or repair out of warranty or repair depots out of warranty? Simply by refusing to authorize repair depots, they force users to just buy another one. Again, I’m glad Valve has seen the light on this. I’d love it if others did too.

As an amateur inventor, I am often told I should patent/market my inventions instead of open-sourcing and posting on Instructables. In your experience, at what point should an inventor consider "creating for a living" instead of just "creating as a hobby?"
