Just because you drank the water when it was fluoridated doesn’t mean you should swallow the toothpaste if the water stops being so. Once the fluoride was in your mouth it had already done its job, being absorbed directly into your tooth enamel. You were drinking the water because it was water, not because it was necessary to do so for the fluoride to work.

That’s why when you’re a kid getting a fluoride treatment at the dentist, they do it by putting gel in a mouthguard-like thing, rather than giving you a pill to swallow.

No, to enable (in the addiction sense) the greed of others. Not “satisfy.” Because it can never be satisfied: they will take and take and take and take until there is nothing left, and still demand more.

It’s kinda the same thing. The curve of probability over time is shifting closer to the present (faster than we approach it through the normal passage of time).

Every few years there’s a headline like this.

…

Not because people are dredging up old news, but because the collapse estimate keeps getting revised to be sooner.

My drill press has a little rubber friction-fit holder for it, but nothing about it forces me to put it back properly.

Do you have to have them do the assembly too for that service to kick in? I’ve ordered bare PCBs a couple of times and wasn’t aware of it.

Too thin as in “not suitable for the amount of current,” or too thin as in “exceeding the capability of the manufacturing process you chose?” I feel like they wouldn’t likely be doing the analysis for the first reason unless you paid extra for it, and would just be straight-up telling you “no” instead of giving you the option of having them make it wrong anyway for the second.

It’s mutual. Remember how conservatives screech and froth about a shadowy nefarious “new world order” doing world domination? Yeah, turns out that was projection too, and CPAC is where they get together to work on it.

as well as the ability to use our minds to travel.

This comment has big “teleport to Waffle House” energy.

Republicans don’t raise taxes or even lower them

No, Republicans raise taxes on the working class while gaslighting us that it’s a tax break.

Merging all the feature branches in time is easy.

Having the project compile afterwards is hard.

Political ethicist Norman Ornstein surmised on X “Sue the s*** out of them and fire everyone who refused to look at his documents.”

“Political ethicist Norman Ornstein” needs to get his head screwed on straight. The entire agency needs to be abolished and everyone who refused to look at his documents needs to be imprisoned for kidnapping.

Because it wouldn’t be as funny that way.

Never trust a tech worker, they decided long ago to sell out the species and the planet.

The ironic thing is, the tech industry started out from hippie counterculture. Fucking tech-bro business major types ruined it.

When your Makefile is so fucked up that you have to run it multiple times to get everything to build and link properly.

It’s almost as if Jimmy Carter had the right idea.

Yeah, but an explosion would be incredibly rare, too. So rare that I think even the “get a full bottle of just heads and then decide to drink that for whatever reason” would still manage to be more likely.

Uh oh, I guess I should too, then. I was just going by the headline, but I realize that it’s possible that the court came to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons.

This is the rare occasion where they actually got a ruling right, for once.
