I’ve only had issues on days when I swap my aligners but even my friends have a hard time those days lol
10/10 highly recommended
I also dig their keyboard, I just wish it supported like searching for gifs to put directly into messenger apps.
9/10

All things DNA is full of code that doesn’t get activated and is just passed on anyways
Gene expression is what they mean by “activated”
Basically think of it like having a library of instruction books and only grabbing a few of them to do the project that needs done.
- Comment on Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected 1 week ago:
8 years on an internal combustion engine is nothing if you preventative maintenance properly.
My newest car is 18 years old and the only thing wrong at the moment is the seals around 2 of the windows is finally leaking. All the work I’ve done is preventative maintenance and it’s got about 180k miles on it. The previous owner did the same. I put about 20k miles a year on it since I bought it.
My other car is 25 years old and it’s basically the same story except it’s passing 200k miles soon, and I’m the 4th owner. And the previous owners neglected the hell out of the poor thing. I’ve only put about 15k miles on this one.
I’m going to drive them until I can’t fix them.

Straight up I took it once in the evening because my doctor told me to take one then to help me sleep and about 30 minutes later I started feeling not so great.
I went and sat in my chair and my heart started pounding.
When things finally “calmed down” it had been over an hour and I felt so damn shitty. I got up to grab my phone so I could call out of work (I knew I was going to be in no condition by morning) and then round 2 started.
0/10 would not take that again
My fitness tracker did congratulate me on the 6 hours of cardio I apparently got that night, so that was nice I guess.

Different meds can have different effects on different people
I tried half a dozen different meds before I got a different diagnosis and prescription
Each one came with its own unique set of side effects (like 1 anti anxiety drug that gave me panic attacks). Sometimes you’ve got to try a bunch before you get the one that works for you

- Comment on Media Literacy Can't Save Us 1 month ago:
I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.
Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.
It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

It really is, the average time loss injury in our company is usually upwards of 30k down the drain. And just an accident can be catastrophic in terms of cost as well.
A BBQ compared to that is nothing.

Less than Truck Load
Basically if a company want to ship pallets of crap but they don’t have enough to justify using their own truck
Think TForce, YRC, Oak Harbor, FedEx Freight, etc.

I work in the LTL industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We’re talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.
I’ve been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.

No artist vision is ever perfectly realized, so go for it.
And if you can’t find store bought assets that fit the theme try to come up with some yourself.
You only truly fail if you never try.

Yeah becoming popular enough on YouTube to be able to have it be your full time job is like winning the lottery in terms of how many people have tried vs how many have succeeded.
- Comment on Technically Correct 4 months ago:
Here in the states when we say “medical insurance shouldn’t exist” what we mean is “the medical insurance industry shouldn’t exist”
Basically the cluster fuck of insurance companies we have now shouldn’t exist, we should just have a single payer type system where medical expenses are paid for through our tax dollars. In its current state it’s a nightmare to deal with.

Basically it’s a graph that shows where a particle is with the red (?) line showing where it is.
It shows how wacky particles can be.
Even putting up a wall that particle is gonna slip into your DMs.
