But then you bake REALLY regularly, and you don't follow recipes anymore. I know exactly what the doughs and batters look like and how they pour. I know how adding sugar and water will loosen up the batter. I know exactly how the pizza flower should ocillate between the dough hook and the walls of the bowl.

It's like this bell curve of measuring

Back when I came into the office every day, it was a 45-minute commute. At least one day every week, I had no active memory of getting from the north side of the beltway to my house (about 20-25 minutes). I'd reach this point, and it was like someone flipped a switch, and I became aware that I existed.

I've done this with Audio Books. I've listened to 2-3 chapters, and they'll mention an assassin; Brain goes, wait, assassin? WHAT ASSASSIN? I start rolling back find out I completely tuned out 20 minutes of the story.

I got to buy a flip and a fold for QA purposes for work. I test drove them for a few days before handing them over.

I daily drive an s24 ultra so I'm a fan of big phones already.

The use case for the fold is for anything where you would rather have a tablet. Some people would rather consume media on a bigger device. The real downside to me with the fold was the thickness while folded. It was uncomfortably thick in my pocket. And then of course there's the inability to have any decent protection on the phone, and the lack of water resistance.

Now the flip on the other hand, I really enjoyed that device. It opened up to the same size as a decently large phone, you could fold it up and throw it in your pocket, It was protected.

They're both too damn expensive. You could buy the biggest baddest flagship phones with the most beautiful screens and cameras for the same price as something that just folds up a little smaller in your pocket.

I wouldn't dream of making anyone do anything... Okay well, that's a lie but certainly nothing dental related.

I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac.

Same. 2015. I could have pushed them to let me use Linux, but it would have been making waves in a remote shop. The 2015 MacBook hardware was decent, so I got it. Domain binding was still in fashion. 99 problems. Finally, I got it okay-ish, set up Brew, it's a hack. I started trying to use the terminal to do things, almost no config available, the disk mount subsystem was alien, the logs were crap. Since then, the hardware and compatibility has just gotten awful.

You're not wrong. I use it a lot. it's super for short local trips and maybe medium trips.

When I asked it to go a few states over, routing cost me a couple of hours last time before I realized something was off.

Use it, but scrutinize it.

Hell, I don't even trust a single study anymore... This one was done in India under the pressures of not having enough dentists to cover their massive population.

The actual point behind it might be if you're not going to floss, definitely mouthwash

mouth wash is at least as good

Mouthwash has a couple of downsides.

  1. It does not discriminate good bacteria from bad bacteria. If you stop or delay treatment, you have a chance of getting a runaway situation with nasty bacteria.

  2. It does not remove plaque. If you stop or delay treatment for a while, bacteria make and settle down in to plaque. You're relying on dental visits to remove the plaque.

  3. Mouthwash does not remove food lodged in the gumline or in between teeth.

If you don't like flossing, I'd recommend getting a waterpic. Keep your tongue scrubbed and brush after every meal. Only use mouthwash if you start having funky smells / tastes / things seem off.

No cavities in 25 years. Unfortunately, the 25 years before that did not go as well, it took me a long time to sort out dental hygiene.

Music artists aren't getting paid.

Companies regularly buy up IP, then leave it unavailable.

No central ability to find things.

All licenses are temporary and have no end date.

Companies are regularly raising rates far beyond inflation.

Lowering quality for a given price, then making a higher price point to get it back.

Adding advertisements and raising rates to get rid of them.

Selling our watching habits.

Or, you can download it and not deal with any of that.

When piracy rates go up, it's because customer service and value has gone down.
