I think its a hard case to sell that there is no benefit to oral health by flossing. I know for myself, food gets stuck in places that not even brushing and using mouth wash can dislodge. I dont want to be one of those 'i am a corner

I don't think there are any evil companies. people are people, and they are pretty much the same everywhere. I think big tech's mistake was trying to pretend they were somehow better and is now getting called out on it.

the spitting one was odd to me, it seems totally natural. for the pine tar, I am with the pitchers again. if batters can use it to have better grip on their bats, seems totally logical for pitchers to do the same to their balls

its hard to take the opinions of the pilots that fly them with complete confidence. they have a vested interest, their career is over if the f35 is over. On the low end, the f35 costs about as much as 5 f16s, which also have twice the rang

I always hated this argument. Its sort of like saying you need to take poison, so that if you ever get sick you can stop taking poison and possibly get better. 2ndly, interest rates were not very effective in these last recessions, the com
