Some Americans are pretty cool, though. Not everyone is a piece of shit like in the administration. Many are, but many are also pretty based.
Speaking as a European.

Are we sure it wasn’t due to technique though?

Still though, I have no idea of the relevance in the thread. 😆 Gotta be a mis-reply for sure. Or I’m whooshing on the whole thing.

I see, yeah. Thanks for sharing!

I’m a programmer by trade and I still have no idea what this thread derailed into.

😅 I know right. I don’t want to bet a fortune on it, willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but I’d still put a little bit on it. 🫣
- Comment on Toothbrush heads 1 week ago:
I believe you, but I’m also interested in the studies, how much worth it it actually is.
Like, is it worth it because people in general have poor brushing technique and the electric brush “solves” this just by how it works, or is it better even with proper brushing technique with manual brush?
Those are some of the questions I have. 😁

Could you share a bit about why you prefer not to use it? 🙏

Sorry, what?

See my other comment. It’s not just one.
- Comment on Toothbrush heads 1 week ago:
There’s been plenty. Dentists, dental hygienists, it’s been almost 4 decades and no-one has recommended it, so I don’t think it’s that. They have, however, shown me how I should use a normal, manual toothbrush most effectively, and I’ve followed that advice to success. Haven’t had a cavity since my first cavity as a teenager, it’s been over 20 years since then.
Are y’all based in America? I bet dentists there are paid to endorse the electric toothbrush industry there. But maybe not.
Maybe there are scientific studies that show that electric toothbrushes are objectively better for dental and oral health? If so, I’d love to see them and maybe I’ll consider getting one.
For now, I’m just sick of having yet another thing that has a damn battery that needs to be charged god-damnit.

Never ever had a dentist recommend an electric toothbrush to me. Why is that? 🤷♂️

My pleasure buddy! Good luck!

Minute change: remove the XP unit from the EXP row. The other metrics don’t have a unit. 👍 And EXP and XP are a bit redundant together like that. 😊

My mind just melts when I try to understand dark matter and an expanding universe. And I’m a big astronomy guy, I eat that shit up! I even grasp time dilation to some extent. But the expanding universe, I just can’t get my mind around it fully.
- Comment on To cosmic shreds, I say! 2 weeks ago:
Imma go ahead and postulate that beyond the observable universe is a wall of anti matter, that keeps eating our universe’s matter and neutralizing it.
Prove me wrong! (Don’t.)

Gosh, pictures you can hear.
YAAAHEEEEUWW!!
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
You can tell it’s not real though, because of the bad padding and too-large font size, etc. So that takes away from experience more than a pictures image, in my opinion.
Authenticity trumps image quality. 🤷♂️ My two cents.

No lol, I’m not in road design. I am a civil engineer, however.

Unless US trucks are considerably bigger than average
Have you been to the US? 😅

I feel like this is trying to solve a problem of inattentive drivers rather than the mix of cars and pedestrians/bikers. Drivers are sloppy in general. 🫤

Are you a civil engineer or technician?
Why do you give me only those two options lol?
- Comment on Local news did an entire segment featuring a guy who's mad about having to drive more carefully. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah exactly, that’s what I do too. First outside mirrors for far away riders, then blind spot for immediate vicinity just before turning, while keeping in mind what I saw in the mirror.

That’s what an intersection is.
Not if you make a right turn…
But sure, inconvenient and very rare vehicles surely would probably have to cross over a little into oncoming. But regular large vehicles shouldn’t have to, ideally.

Probably a lot of garbage trucks?
