  • That would be great to be honest. I have many shopping lists in reminders named as the stores which I frequent, with one catch all called “shopping” they are in a group called “shopping” because of course they are. Until recently adding reminders worked like “Siri add xyz to my shopping list”. But now Siri pops up saying “do you mean shopping, or shopping?” And clicking either option results in an error that the app needs to be opened. How fucking stupid can it be? One isn’t even a list! Works fine from my Apple Watch though. Changed the category to “to buy” because fuck me, right?







  • Dental is covered here in Japan. Just pay 30%. Only cost about ¥20,000 to have a root canal and crown done (over a series of appointments). A wisdom tooth extraction at a major hospital cost about ¥7,000.

    The one downside is that insurance only covers 30 mins of time with the dentist per appointment, so dental assistants do most of the prep etc, as the dentist hovers between several patients.

    As a result, the work is spread over several appointments, whereas in my home country it would be done in just one or two. But that also spreads the cost over more time, so win win as far as I’m concerned.

    I wonder what dental is like in other countries with socialised healthcare? I’d love to get some more details from you if you have experience.
