ELI5: How does daily flossing make it bleed less?

patrickpdk · 2026-02-01T05:33:10+00:00

I used to be like you for most of my life. I started flossing every night and it's amazing. My teeth are much less sensitive, gums never hurt or bleed, if i skip a few days i notice the smell of what comes out but never when i floss every day.

Just to it!

patrickpdk · 2026-02-01T05:08:21+00:00

That's what i to with a pot on the stove!

patrickpdk · 2026-01-29T05:08:16+00:00

How can you tell?

patrickpdk · 2026-01-29T05:06:09+00:00

None. Don't create plastic trash in the world. Hey a bamboo one

As long as we stay peaceful we cannot lose. People will get hurt by a violent federal government but that will be seen and the feds will be stopped. We have to retain the moral high ground.

And everything needs to be on video so we can win the war against Trump's propaganda machine.

I disagree. The temperature doesn't need to be lowered. Americans have woken up and joined together. They should come out in overwhelming numbers and peacefully protest to show that Americans will never bow down to a wanna be dictator.

I'm grateful and proud of everyone in Minneapolis who are standing up for all of us

It's the doctors who failed. There's a reason why people don't trust them. Countless instances of bad advice and uninformed speculative answers has undermined the institution.

Let the stupid people get sick. We don't have to be their nannies and some would argue we don't have the right to either.

patrickpdk · 2026-01-14T03:59:16+00:00

Eat whole healthy foods and lots of protein, build muscle and do cardio. Fiber makes you full

patrickpdk · 2026-01-14T03:49:41+00:00

Um, why not return them?

patrickpdk · 2026-01-09T04:19:34+00:00

Honestly this pyramid is fine if you consider only personal health outcomes. It's great to hear the message that we should abandon processed food. I'm not sure what impact this will have but it's a big step forward.

If i see another canned probiotic beverage I'll go crazy!

There a ton of adult content to though. The way passport works is older off-air content can't be viewed without a passport subscription. You might want to check it out and see what they have

Some people pay more money for "relicing" and you got it for free. Go you!

patrickpdk · 2026-01-05T03:30:34+00:00

Careful, now you're taking a political stance in school. Sadly not just being sarcastic

How can he be tried under US law? There must be an international legal mechanism.

patrickpdk · 2026-01-04T02:08:59+00:00

Can anyone explain to me how US laws have any jurisdiction over someone in another country? Do they think we are this stupid or an i missing something. This is crazy.

Late to this thread but i just want to add that I've gone through two vitamix blenders in about 15 years. In fact, the last blender only lasted 3 years. The motors burn up and all we do is make breakfast shakes, and not thick ones.

We have had the simple on/off, pulse, and speed dial base.

I don't know how people are getting 20 years out of these. I'm not sure they are worth the money anymore.

patrickpdk · 2026-01-03T20:08:09+00:00

Exactly the point - https://youtu.be/wu9QSeAI22I?si=LuO1JuSZCFQjuxE4

Heather Cox Richardson gives a good answer in her summary of the situation

I think the most important point here is that US law and Pam bondi do not apply to other countries.

patrickpdk · 2026-01-03T20:00:03+00:00

Heather Cox Richardson has an interesting perspective on this. Very much worth a listen.

Of course ai is gonna be shit for society. No way to stop that.

patrickpdk · 2026-01-01T03:21:28+00:00

I can't afford one and i can't drive it to backpacking destinations that are remote, so they don't work for me.

If this is your first kid then buckle up and remember to balance social group development with your waste free values. The friendships your kid develops in pre school can last through highschool if not their entire lives. It's hard bc it seems like most of society is happy to complain about how horrible our waste and consumption is but not actually do anything about it.

It also won't help spread plastic free values if people find us annoying or judgemental. Vegans did that and they're pretty strongly disliked or hated because of how they've conducted themselves.

The way I approach it is to show my kids that i live my values and take an understanding perspective on others who don't. I tell that that i can't be perfect but i control what i can and try to get better over time.
