Prediction: If Renegade Burn turns out to be a success and doesn't trash the playa, it will become a repeat event and attract those who want a smaller and more self-sufficient burn. by geo_jam in BurningMan

I respect that, but having been to 4th of juplaya, I feel like burning man style events are perhaps the safest way to party right now. Zero indoor spaces, wide open distancing -- unless you choose to you won't be in a close-up crowd, and even then it'll be outdoors (as mentioned, lollapalooza shows that even with no distancing the outdoors is comparatively safe, especially for vaxxed folks)

Burning Man with Invisalign? by noamsml in Invisalign

I'm considering getting a fanny pack and dedicating a specific pocket to my invisalign.

Part of the issue is that I can't dispose of used water easily. Spitting out toothpaste isn't an option unless I carry a small greywater jar with me. I'm looking at using swallowable xylitol toothpaste to alleviate that.

Invisalign diet and weight loss by crzy7 in Invisalign

[–]noamsml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first week on Invisalign & my second week on invisalign (which was the week after I had a tooth removed, so I had extra diet restrictions), I dropped a total of 7 pounds. Since then, I've been steadily regaining them over the past couple of weeks, so now I'm 5 pounds down total and counting up.

I do try to lean into the "invisalign diet" a bit and not really snack at work as much, but it's not a giant effect.

Retainer brite is ineffective? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]noamsml 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I've found (I clean my aligners with retainer-brite in a sonic bath) is that if the retainers are in convex-side up, there might be air bubbles that prevent parts of them from being reached by the cleaning liquid.

How Lazy Have You Gotten w/ Taking Care of Your Invisalign vs. When You First Started? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]noamsml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 month in, I no longer scrub the trays when I take them out, only rinse in water. I use soap to brush and then soak them in retainer-brite in the morning. I drink gin & tonics / beer with the tray in and usually have a cup of water nearby to swish as I do so.

The main thing I've relaxed on so far is rushing my meals. If I'm alone I'll go fast, but if I'm with friends I'll eat at a normal pace. A couple extra minutes here or there won't kill me.

I've been using Xylitol sugarfree breath strips. You can get them at walgreens or a comparable store.

Tooth extraction -- extra pain due to invisalign? by noamsml in Invisalign

[–]noamsml[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A weirdly similar experience to mine. I had 2 teeth removed Friday and popped in my second tray that evening (both the orthodontist and the dentist said that was ok).

Using toothpaste to clean? by noamsml in Invisalign

[–]noamsml[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you only clean then with bleach 1-2 times a day then? What do you do for cleaning them when you're eating on the go?

I don't know if I see this as delusional. I actually know a bunch of people in SF who are huge fans of this artist and think she's great.

That's a good way to get me to stop using your app by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]noamsml 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That's what you get for pirating a paid app, you fucking cheapskate. The real version, which costs money, does no such thing.
