No, your great aunt/uncle is your second cousin’s grandparent.
Second cousin is your parent’s cousin’s child.
Your parent’s cousin’s parent is your parent’s aunt/uncle, which is your great aunt/uncle.
- Comment on Anon meets a girl at a wedding 1 week ago:
Another way I like to think of it is it’s your parent’s cousin’s kid. So you can see why from their perspective it would feel more closely related, it would be like you having a kid and your cousin having a kid and then you seeing them together.

What really confuses me is your second cousins parent is also called your first cousin once removed.

Huh, interesting that Australian McDonald’s has you beat in this regard. We have an “all day menu” where you can get big Mac, cheeseburger and chicken burger any time of day, and an “extended breakfast” menu where you can get Bacon & Egg McMuffin, Sausage & Egg McMuffin, Chicken McMuffin and Sausage McMuffin any time of day.

I agree, but in this specific case you logically would have started in the centre of the spiral in the overhead view which would equate to downward movement in the side view.
But they definitely chose this because inverting it would absolutely be more associated with a downward spiral. And this kind of looks like a nice tree.

Water fluoridation reaches over 13 million Europeans through programs in England, Ireland, Poland, Serbia and Spain
-
Children in deprived areas benefit most from water fluoridation according to 2018 English health agency report
-
Over 70 million Europeans receive fluoridated salt through programs in Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland and other countries. Salt fluoridation is recommended when water fluoridation is not feasible
-
European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry endorses water fluoridation as “core component of oral health policy”
-
Fluoridated milk programs have operated in Bulgaria, England, Hungary, Russia and Scotland
-
Several European countries provide free or subsidized fluoride treatments through national healthcare:
- Sweden: free dental care through age 23
- Denmark: free dental care until age 18
- Finland: public dental clinic access for all legal residents
-
Scandinavian schools offer fluoride varnish, tablets and rinse programs
-
Some regions in Europe have naturally fluoridated water, such as parts of Italy. Italian health officials support water fluoridation but don’t implement additional programs due to naturally optimal fluoride levels in some areas

-
Evidence shows that water fluoridation prevents tooth decay by providing frequent and consistent contact with low levels of fluoride, ultimately reducing tooth decay by about 25% in children and adults.
-
evidence shows that schoolchildren living in communities where water is fluoridated have, on average, 2.25 fewer decayed teeth compared to similar children not living in fluoridated communities.
-
A study to compare costs associated with community water fluoridation with treatment savings achieved through reduced tooth decay, which included 172 public water systems, each serving populations of 1,000 individuals or more, found that 1 year of exposure to fluoridated water yielded an average savings of $60 per person when the lifetime costs of maintaining a restoration were included.
-
Analyses of Medicaid claims data in 3 other states (Louisiana, New York, and Texas), have also found that children living in fluoridated communities have lower caries related treatment costs than do similar children living in non-fluoridated communities; the difference in annual per child treatment costs ranged from $28 to $67.

-
community water fluoridation continues to decrease cavities by 25% at the population level.
-
Even with fluoridated products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses, this public health practice can reduce an additional 25% of tooth decay in children and adults
-
In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan became the first U.S. city to fluoridate its public water supply. Five years later, Grand Rapids schoolchildren were found to have significantly fewer cavities than children from the control community of Muskegon, and additional water districts, including Muskegon began fluoridating and seeing similar results
-
Studies have shown that populations from lower socioeconomic groups within fluoridated communities have less tooth decay when compared to peers in nonfluoridated communities
-
The cost of a lifetime of water fluoridation for one person is less than the cost of one filling

Well look at the statistics:
Fluoride: Water fluoridation in the United States began in the 1940s By 1949, nearly 1 million Americans were receiving fluoridated tap water In 1951, the number jumped dramatically to 4.85 million people By 1952, the number nearly tripled again to 13.3 million Americans In 1954, the number exceeded 20 million people In 1965 an additional 13.5 million Americans gained access to fluoridated water. By 1969, 43.7% of Americans had access to fluoridated tap water. In 2000, approximately 162 million Americans (65.8% of the population served by public water systems) received optimally fluoridated water 2006: 69.2% of people on public water systems (61.5% of total population) 2012: 74.6% of people on public water systems (67.1% of total population)
Autism: First recognised in the 1940s During the 1960s and 1970s, prevalence estimates were approximately 0.5 cases per 1,000 children. Prevalence rates increased to about 1 case per 1,000 children in the 1980s. 2000: 1 in 150 children 2006: 1 in 110 children 2014: 1 in 59 children 2016: 1 in 54 children 2020: 1 in 36 children
Seems pretty clear cut to me.

Could they have stolen the story? Yes. But they could have equally had a similar experience, it’s not that implausible. I’ve known people that have nose bleeds like that, it’s not some incredibly rare condition, and saying hail Satan is the kind of thing tons of edgy kids/teens would do.

- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 5 weeks ago:
Yes but how much heat are those hairs actually saving? In real terms I doubt it’s a number that’s meaningful at all. Like if you had 2 clones and one had their hair shaved and one didn’t, I’m not convinced you could even measure the difference without super sensitive tools and even then it would be a fraction of a degree.
I also doubt there’s any situation where, all else being equal, one would survive and one wouldn’t purely on the basis of having those hairs.
- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 5 weeks ago:
It’s either cold enough that I’m gonna die or it’s not. Those tiny hairs aren’t going to save me in a situation where it would matter.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
Those are laws. If you want a law that bans tipping and assures a higher wage for waiters then sure, that’s fine, but boycotting businesses won’t get those laws made.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
If no one is going there and they don’t know why, and they’re losing money because they’re not getting enough business, they’re not going to decide the solution is to start paying their waiters more. That will just cause them to close down sooner.
Also, just as they don’t know why people stopped going there unless every single one calls them and makes it clear it’s due to tipping/wages, the people protesting and going to know even if they do start paying the waiters more.
Almost every waiter I’ve ever spoken to also prefers tipping because they make more than if they were being paid more, because the business isn’t going to pay them as high as they were making in tips (on average).
The only way they even could, is if they raised the price of everything by 25%. As much as people say they’d be fine with that, such high prices would drive some number of people away. There’s also the issue that if the business owner realised people would pay that much higher, they’d inevitably keep some for themselves and only somewhat increase server wages.
This isn’t to say that I think avoiding tipping is the way to fix it either, just that I don’t think it’s as clear cut as just avoiding the business.
