Dentist is definitely more important. Jobs/money can be fixed. You only have one mouth.
Maybe YOU do.
But seriously, go to the dentist, man. Take care of the bits your body can't replace, teeth are pretty high on the list. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Is there reason to stay away besides "he's a jerk"? I need a jumpstart more than I need a principal.
You don't get involved with Silicon Valley douchebag for the same reason you don't make eye contact or acknowledge the existence of anyone who approaches you on the streets of NYC.

I can't get feedback from the last people the dude on the street talked to. When you can google the proposition and its legitimacy the dynamic shifts.

Sure go ahead. Trust one Silicon Valley douchebag's opinion of another one of his own. I'm sure you also believe the three card monte isn't rigged because you just saw someone win it.

Applying =/= playing. If I got in, I would ask questions before signing anything. I'm not putting anything on the line by applying.

Just standing near the 3 card monte and watching is asking to have your pocket picked.
$100k isn't that much money for two years, particularly if you're expected to use part of it to pay for the compute resources you'll need. You're being paid under an entry-level software engineer's salary to drop out of college and try to found your startup. I guess if you think you have the killer idea, you can do it, but chances are better that your startup won't go anywhere and now you have two years of experience but no degree. (Although less college debt.) And if you are successful, the fellowship's terms will probably allow Thiel to make a lot more money out of it than you will.
I just rode a bike for the first time last night and was wondering: is it normal to feel tender after riding for a while?
If you're not athletic and haven't biked much before, yeah. Until you get stronger and more used to it, you'll have problems.
Also, do you have a good saddle?
I can try and get a pic of it tonight but it is a bike provided by my workplace because we have to cover several city blocks, so I really don't have a clue.
Some superficial tenderness is expected when upping your mileage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_sore), but if you notice any numbness (in the fingertips or junk), joint pain, or muscular pain that isn't attributable to DOMS after a ride, it's probably time to check and adjust your bike, riding position, and possibly clothing.
I've even found that certain gloves and sewn-in chamois can be too bulky, to the point that they apply circulation-impeding pressure resulting in post-ride numbness. I haven't found a good way to test this other than riding on the gear for 30+ minutes.

I'll be interested to see if it passes the "in a bag with a bunch of other coins jangling" test.

If you care primarily about comfort, get something like this and never look back.
