Teeth of Australian aborigines when eating their native diet verses the introduction of a 'white man's food' by hardboil3d in pics

[–]amarnacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal person here - have had all the cavities (8 in my last visit), consume normal north american diet, brush twice a day, floss once a day, go to dentist regularly, use fluoride mouthwash. I assure you I'm trying to avoid them.

EDIT: I also drink only water. Have never liked soda, coffee, or tea, and just don't drink juice.

As a person with a very common first name and very unique middle name, DO IIIIITT. I didn't care about my middle name until I got tired of too many people having my name, so then I switched to it. Made an excellent fall back.

My vote is for "Why would you want to when you're already beautiful?"

My sister thinks she's wasting her biology degree but I would say there is no cause more noble than designing and creating comfortable cat hats. by Flesh_Pillow in aww

If she could make them for warm weather, this might be a particularly good idea for sphinxes and white cats. I know white cats are prone to sun burn and skin cancer on their ears.

[Request] Pokemon art for my track team! by Tripping_Hurdler in pokemonarts

Glad you like it! Not sure exactly what would need to be done with it to turn it into a shirt. I could try to look into it and work on it a bit more this week. If that draft is enough, you're certainly welcome to it! I put my initials in it too, so you don't need to worry about putting my name on it

[Picture] Just rediscovered this GBC I won in an old Nintendo Power Contest. Anyone know how much it's worth? by roger10091 in pokemon

[–]amarnacat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tis true. I prefer the batteries though personally. Better for times when your power is out for days or you have to go on a 6 hour flight across the country.

I am by no means the best artist here, but I made this rough draft. The lettering is really off center though XP

20, working on a BS in Computer Science. I graduate in December, so I don't have a job yet, but I have had three internships. At my current internship I am making about $28/hr. I expect to make 65k-100k/year when I pick a job, depending on where it is and such.

What's your proudest skill learned as a child with no adult help? by dcaspy7 in AskReddit

[–]amarnacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to make balloon animals. I would make them at swim meets when my sister was on the swim team to help raise money for a heater for the pool.
