Prescription Fluoride Toothpaste was a life changer for me. The tube is like $20 but lasts about a year (you don't use much). It took a few months of nightly use, but It drastically changed my cold sensitivity. I can bite into ice crea

It does but you have to give it a chance to work. You have to leave the fluoride on without rinsing, give it time to work (30 mins without drinking fluids), and reduce the amount of acidic foods you eat that is eroding the enamel.

Talk to your dentist about getting a prescription for fluoride toothpaste/treatment. The one I use is a paste you use once a day after brushing, you brush it on and spit it out without rinsing. It has a higher concentration of fluoride

My partner has had the opposite experience. They can typically knock out their work in 4-5 hours. Also, they have gained back a total commute time of ~2.5 hrs per day. That's like 24 extra days they've gotten back this past year

No, there are no consequences for not telling, at most we would be a little disappointed. This doesn't happen that often. Maybe once a month or so, and it's always "Hey I'm gonna by X for Y." "OK". Then we

It's for family budgeting and trust. We generally ask/inform if we are going to spend more than $100 on any given project/item. This helps both of us realize if it's a need or want. That way if I mention I'm going t

I use it regularly. It integrates quite well with emacs and if you use the evil-collection you can add vim-ness to other modes. Personally, I mostly just use evil for modal editing, as I am a long time vim user. Then I use the emacs shortcu

Modal editing. Command mode lets you manipulate text using a full keyboard as shortcuts. Depending on setup this can reduce the amount of chording you do. Visual mode lets you select text. By character, line, or region/block. I find th

This happened because our lack of regulations allowed it to happen. The areas of the state not under ERCOT control weathered this storm significantly better. I too am pro nuclear. While nuclear isn't perfect, we have to take steps in t

The problem for me, in a fairly blue area, is that everything we try to do gets smacked down by the state. Since this state is so divided between the rural and urban areas, the democrats have to find a way to address the issues of the rural

This is the typical distraction of "Don't worry about how bad things are, think of how lucky you are that they weren't worse." Us Texans really need to focus on getting the people in charge out of office. I will vote for

As a person who has spent a great deal of time in rural areas, I don't think I would be happy in the long term living in cramped apartments. Too much noise and too many people. In the suburban sprawl in which I live, the 10-12 feet bet

My Kindergarten class in the late 80's had a phone system between play areas for the kids to use. The system was built using some old phones and lantern batteries for power. As a small child it was really neat to pick up the phone and
