The prescription toothpaste they give you for tooth sensitivity really works but make sure you like the flavor you pick because you need to skip rinsing after you brush to for it to have time to sink in.

Totally worth it to be able to bite into whatever food you want without waiting for it to come to near room temperature.

Comedians who got wealthy decades ago: Am I out of touch? No, it’s the culture that’s too PC!

Why is it a bad thing that the head of law enforcement be accountable to the people directly? Why is it better for them to be appointed by a wealthy politician?

Everyone I don’t like is Xehanort.

I don’t like the look of it either, when it gets too bad I’ll usually go through and close a bunch but I can’t for the life of me manage to close them when I’m finished with them for the time being.

I have three categories of tabs:

• web apps I want to keep open all the time for notifications that I don’t want to install (Discord, calendar, email)
• tabs I’m currently switching back and forth between or plan to soon
• tabs from the second category that I forgot to close or left open because I never got around to the task I planned to use them for

The last one is the largest by several orders of magnitude.

There aren’t any meetings that are part of Agile. The point of Agile is that you’re supposed to let teams self-organize and define their own process through iteration but managers hate that so they issue a top-down mandate to implement the Scrum process without allowing anyone outside of management to change it in any way and call it “Agile”.

It’s naval tradition, if your ship is being hijacked by pirates or enemy forces, raising the flag upside down is a way to signal passing ships without alerting the hijackers.

The thing is, that’s why the Jan 6 insurrectionists were using it as a symbol in the first place. Trump convinced them election was rigged so the upside down flag was used to signal that they believed the country was being hijacked.

Maybe he wanted to change it as soon as he saw it in editing but couldn’t afford reshoots.

Hype! I loved Noragami but I never picked up the manga so I’m happy to get more of it.

Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn’t patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you’ll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don’t get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you’re just making things worse.

For apartment complexes there’s yelp/Google maps reviews.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn’t know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn’t support surround anyway.

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I’m sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

Must have been too stunned by deja-vu to dodge the stegosaurus tail.

I stopped watching a couple episodes in, the animation was cool at times but that wasn’t enough to hold my interest.

Are you sure you didn’t get the concentrate?
