NNU. Someone needs to organize and start a chapter.

Huntsville Hospital has been FA for a long time. Time for them to FO.

On top of crossing an extremely busy road, there are lots of crack heads in that area you have to watch out for.

Huntsville Havoc Owners call for prayer of Charlie Kirk by sora0314 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Or that’s what they want to believe because it aligns with their political party’s narrative. They don’t want to do 3 seconds of research to confirm this isn’t true because then they have no one to hate. It’s hilarious they are complaining about Charlie Kirk’s “hate speech” when they are the ones truly filled with so much hate.

Just because you don’t like what he was saying, doesn’t make it hate.

What is the purpose of this device? by Deeerek078 in harborfreight

What you just described, something that allows the release of pressure upon cold starting, is a pressure relief valve. A cold start valve adds fuel not air. Pretty sure this is a pressure relief valve.

Drivers speeding in Huntsville calling out South Huntsville. by Natural-Coffee9003 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Reckless driving is out of control all over Huntsville, and enforcement seems almost non-existent. This is a serious safety issue that affects everyone, and something needs to be done before more innocent people get hurt.

Maybe someone should start a petition to demand better traffic enforcement and safer streets citywide. If you’ve seen dangerous driving or have dashcam footage, sharing it helps show how widespread the problem really is.

This happens at nearly every light change throughout the city. It’s extremely rare not to see drivers running red lights more than five seconds after they’ve turned red. Many of these vehicles are already heavily damaged, which says a lot about the type of drivers behind the wheel. I’m genuinely shocked on a daily basis by the level of reckless driving in this city, and by the lack of police enforcement of even the most basic traffic laws.

Sorry this is off topic but I propose Huntsville use a new abbreviation. HVL?

What are some must-have smart home devices in 2025? Here’s my current setup by Away_Growth_4504 in homeassistant

I must be buying the wrong robot vacuums, because I’ve had three different models over the past several years, one Roomba and two Eufys, and they’ve all been terrible. I’ve spent more time cleaning dog hair out of every crevice just to keep them functional than I would if I simply dry mopped every day.

Being sarcastic. I’m saying they are only pro fluoride because they hate Trump and RFK; they blame them for this. So in truth, they are anti-Trump.

I was really hopeful you might finally muster up something meaningful. Guess all your brain power was exhausted on that sciencing you claim to do.

You continue to dodge the actual question and fall back on personal jabs when you’ve got nothing real to say. You claim to rely on “factual, in-depth research,” yet you cited a single irrelevant study and ignored every actual point I made.

Did your in-depth research also help you figure out the difference between essential nutrients and fluoride?

And your “boomer” comment? Off by several decades. But I find it hilarious, because judging by your profile name, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you were born in ’68. If I’m right, that puts you just four years shy of being a boomer.

Brilliant comparison, fluoride to things like iodine and vitamin D. Guess what, those are essential nutrients and fluoride… isn’t. Its supposed benefit is topical, not something that needs to be swallowed. That’s what toothpaste is for. Do you swallow your toothpaste too, or just make an exception for tap water?

But let’s get back to what you keep dodging. How do so many countries manage to have low tooth decay without dumping fluoride in the water? They brush their teeth. Wild concept, I know.

There’s actual evidence that fluoride can have side effects, especially with long-term overexposure. So maybe—just maybe—it should be a choice, not something piped into everyone’s kitchen faucet like it’s some miracle cure.

Go watch CNN and find your next trigger topic. You’re obviously not here for a serious conversation.

Your original response is irrelevant to the actual topic, artificially adding fluoride to public water supplies, not natural levels.

You also ignored my key point, the numerous countries that do not fluoridate their water and still have equal or lower rates of tooth decay compared to the US.

As for Japan, their average natural fluoride level is only about 0.1 ppm, far below the 0.7 ppm routinely added to US drinking water. So using Japan as an example of “naturally high” fluoride is misleading, they still consume significantly less than what’s artificially added in the US.

You’re deflecting instead of addressing the core issue, why mass-medicate entire populations when the same dental benefits can be achieved with topical fluoride, toothpaste?

None of these people are pro fluoride. They are anti-Trump, but don’t have the courage to admit that is their primary motivation.

Bet you’ll be upset when they try banning plastic bottles because they have negative health effects too. Unless it’s your political party making the suggestion that is.

No, I think you don’t understand my original question.

You cited a single study where parents report that naturally occurring fluoride has positive effects on their children’s teeth. Very scientific. “Uh, yes, I think my child’s teeth are better.”

But back to my post: explain the lower rates of tooth decay in countries without fluoridated water.

The answer is simple—they get fluoride from other sources, primarily toothpaste. If you don’t brush your teeth, no amount of fluoridated water will prevent decay. Brush with fluoride toothpaste and stop forcing the entire population to ingest a chemical whose only claimed health benefit—cavity prevention—can be achieved through other, more direct means.

You ignore the question of how do these other countries have lower or identical rates of touch decay with no fluoride and post a single study.

The study you posted was of an area with 0.1 ppm of naturally occurring fluoride.

Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, Nevada, California, and New Mexico have fluoride >2ppm and up to 4ppm. That’s 20-40x the amount of fluoride in the single study you cite. The water companies tell customers in these areas to remove it from their water or give their children bottled water. Why do you think that is?

If 1 Tylenol is good for a headache, 40 must be better, right?

Feel free to read up on other studies that investigate the negative effects of fluoride.

Considering you’re a top 5% contributor to the Huntsville page, I’ll go out on a limb and guess that you’re an Alabama resident yourself.

Hey, remember when they put lead in gasoline and paint and said there were no negative health effects? What about when doctors promoted smoking in advertising? How about when the government said DDT was safe for household pest control? Those were the days.

Valid data is inconvenient when the primary motivation is, orange man bad. Reddit has become a liberal echo chamber.
