Sure, it makes sense now that I’ve seen the recommendations, but previously I just assumed that it worked instantly on contact. I’m guessing that the majority of people haven’t considered the mineral deposition rate of fluoride in toothpaste. :)
I remember slashdotters flaunting their low UIDs. :)
Aside from other reasons that other replies have mentioned, I’m going to guess that a good part of it may be people who have at least one favorite game that uses some type of kernel anti-cheat that doesn’t work on Linux. I think that that would stop many people from switching from Windows to Linux.
OK, got it.
Was just curious about what you were referring to specifically. Perhaps the German instances having to follow their speech restriction laws?
Click your username on the upper right, then Settings, then scroll down and you will see a checkbox where you flag your account as a bot account. You can also search your account settings page for “bot”.
BTW, the vast majority of people here go by nicknames instead of real names, for anonymity, privacy, and I suppose security reasons.
There’s also some instances that are seemingly trolling, some that seem state sponsored and local to certain nations that have to toe the line of the authoritarian regime opinions.
?
I hear you. Something that I’ve been thinking about lately is how certain philosophies which sound good at first sometimes end up leading to strange or undesirable places, either because their original characteristics already pointed in that direction, because other groups co-opted the original idea for their own purposes, or both. I haven’t reached any conclusions, but it’s something that I wonder about occasionally.
Got it, thanks.
Almost certainly a libertarian.
Incidentally, here’s a nearly 30-year old internet essay related to this (please ignore the old-school ableism in the piece): Libertarianism Makes You Stupid
That would be a great result that I look forward to.
Same here. I’m glad your dentist told you though.
Brave is the commercial arm of a far right hate group.
Do you mind providing more details, for those of us who aren’t informed about this? Is it something aside from their CEO?
Thanks, that site is awesome. I’m pretty sure that it was the one I used some time ago to learn a few new lacing methods.
Got it, thanks, I’ve updated my comment.
I’ve updated my comment. I wouldn’t have intuitively thought about this because why would I think that it would take time for Fluoride to take effect, or that whatever is left after rinsing wouldn’t do the job? Thanks.
Where did you learn this? I’ve never heard this recommendation before and it sounds pretty out there.
Edit: it turns out that apparently both the American Dental Association and the National Health Service of the UK recommend not rinsing immediately after brushing. Huh, TIL.
See my reply parallel to yours for a video of it.
Yes, it wasn’t recently, but learning this made a huge difference for me. I actually learned it from a TED talk, lol.
Haha, mine may have been somewhere around that too, but I don’t remember for sure. I think I recall seeing at least one two-digit ID commenter there when that sort of discussion came up.
