You can use a flouride rinse. Most kids with braces use a flouride rinse. I'm not sure how long you're supposed to use it for, I think it's 45 seconds twice a day.

I've looked into the logistics of "cooking" meth and it is a complex process that, were I not an expert, wouldn't create something I would be comfortable putting into my body. How is meth "industrially" produce

The problem with any such "climate disaster" is that humans are incapable of conceptualizing the impact of such slow change. We can't even solve our water use, and that is going to cause collapse much sooner than the climate.

Many people see it as a novelty. I know a bunch of people with "dog cams" in their house, even wired up with speakers so they can talk to the dog during the day. With the ring, people who have it tend to be fans of it. As a luxury

The current conversation isn't about the real bad stuff (which I thankfully have never seen on FB), but rather about how much control the government should have over Facebook as a platform, and the direction seems to be universally in

I still love Perl. If I had the opportunity to work on an existing Perl project, I would relish the nostalgia. I would never, ever use Perl for a greenfield project unless there was a library that was absolutely crucial to the development,

I was just thinking on this same analogy this morning. What many people don't realize is that there are, off the top of my head, at least a dozen different distinct types of hammers, and then if you're talking working with metals

I wonder what the cost/benefit curve is for lobbying from $0. $22B is about $150 for every working American. It probably cost Microsoft less than $1mm to lobby for this deal.

You can "expand" the diff, but sometimes that breaks the UI, makes it unable to add comments, etc. That's probably the reason they don't show large changesets by default.

A paid user + big fan of gitlab. They exist in a strange valley between github and Atlassian where usability has remained high while also being featureful. Their kanban is 10% more functional than Trello, which is all our small team really

Many Iranians are very proud to be Iranians in the same way many Israelis are proud to be Israelis. If those two countries could decide on peace (or rather, if the majorities in each country that want peace could push aside the warmongers),
