The prescription toothpaste they give you for tooth sensitivity really works but make sure you like the flavor you pick because you need to skip rinsing after you brush to for it to have time to sink in.

Totally worth it to be able to bite into whatever food you want without waiting for it to come to near room temperature.

I don’t like the look of it either, when it gets too bad I’ll usually go through and close a bunch but I can’t for the life of me manage to close them when I’m finished with them for the time being.

I have three categories of tabs:

• web apps I want to keep open all the time for notifications that I don’t want to install (Discord, calendar, email)
• tabs I’m currently switching back and forth between or plan to soon
• tabs from the second category that I forgot to close or left open because I never got around to the task I planned to use them for

The last one is the largest by several orders of magnitude.

There aren’t any meetings that are part of Agile. The point of Agile is that you’re supposed to let teams self-organize and define their own process through iteration but managers hate that so they issue a top-down mandate to implement the Scrum process without allowing anyone outside of management to change it in any way and call it “Agile”.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn’t know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn’t support surround anyway.

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I’m sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

Voidtools “Everything” is how we mimic a fraction of your power thank-you-very-much.

It will be funny when all the LLMs start posting it in their responses at least.

This is why everyone hates moral philosophy professors, they’re jealous of dem gainz.

How the heck does Oregon manage to have the lowest earners paying more than the median earners without a sales tax?

A feature that is consistently misused is a useless feature. Either get used to them being used to express disagreement or admit that they’re a failure and stop trying to make them work.

This page has a table of instances with a bunch of info including whether the instance has downvotes.

If it annoys you, you could consider moving to an instance without downvotes so your feed will act like they don’t exist.

I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn’t included.

Because it doesn’t fit the design of the game.

Pokemon Go is meant to be played while walking around outside. This means you can’t have a lot of text because glare from the sun will make it too hard to read. The real battle system also requires more congnitive load than most people can handle while walking and takes too long which will lead to people stopping for extended periods of time at which point you’re no longer playing a pedometer game.

A boy who looks like a mouse is magical realism, you can assume the setting is like the real world except for this one-off magical event. A talking mouse is fantasy because now you’re in a setting where all mice can talk if you teach them how which creates a bunch of plot holes including the comic is poking fun at.

The chore app “sweepy” plays a very dopaminey sound effect when you do a chore. Unfortunately, that still wasn’t enough to make me keep up with using it.

This comic is probably based on the movie which changed it so that he was adopted and an actual mouse. It somehow makes even less sense than the original story.

And that one congressman represents 500k people, Meanwhile each of Florida’s represents 800k people. Why should the people of Florida’s votes be worth 60% of a Wyoming voter’s? Why should we not just give Florida 11 more congresspeople so it’s even?
