There are actually studies that support this person's point. There's are correlations between the quantity of fluoride in water and non-neurotypical characteristics in children. There are also links between fluoride and small deceases in IQ.
Take a look at some studies and be open to complication: fluoride is good for teeth and prevents cavities in low doses, but it also has some potentially serious side-effects. We should absolutely be doing more research on this.
I've been trying no-discard-micro-starters. I keep 8 g in the fridge, and build over a few days to bake. Not sure how viable it is long-term but it seems to be working so far. Would love anyone's input if they have more information about long-term viability.
Someone recently gave me a culture, and it feels like a curse. I've kept them before and managed to escape... Here I am, a slave to bread once again.
I had the same serious of thoughts, but also thought it said "blonde girl" and so wasn't as excited for the movie.
I committed myself to a run this afternoon but felt weak when the time came, so i tested it out and only ran two miles. I'm glad i went out.
For me it is important to maintain momentum, so if my track record is getting a little iffy I'll be more vigilant about going out and doing the thing and not putting it off.
How is this not Lieutenant Dax?!! They got so close to greatness.
I will go look up what club sauce is? Is it lascivious?
Is it illegal for them to delete messages? I had always been under the impression that FOIA only covered government.
Sorry mapmyhike, looks like you needed to include the /s 🙄 Lemmy, y'all can't recognize this as sarcasm? The irony is palpable and well-executed.
I just learned a lot about the pony fandom
Magic erasers?! Like the ones I used to get at the at supply store?
I've been putting things out on a towel when that happens, and putting the towel away after. So far so good, but I haven't been cooking much recently.
What about muddy dog feet? 😂 That's my shoe rule too, and I also second your laundry practice. I'm not sure I've ever washed some of the pants I own...
Yes, I spent years breaking the screen of this phone and eventually replacing it. I've finally got a screen protector and it's been great... But the screen will almost certainly crack when you remove it. Bummer about the extra cost.
What is a postmarketeo??
My phone still has an aux jack : humble brag:
It's a pixel 3a from at least 6 years ago :opposite of a humble brag:
...I actually love the shape and function of this phone. I only wish it had security updates, and didn't have Google.
As a lifelong washer by hand, I would call those very clean dishes!
I want true cleaning hacks. I just got a dishwasher last week for the first time in my life and it's a huge time saver. What else is like that? The most common sense of course is putting things away after you use them, and another hack is cleaning the kitchen before bed, but what else? Does wiping down the shower every time I use it help? Should I get a used roomba? Are there any roomba-type-objects that mop? Give me the knowledge please.
I just got one for the first time in my life last week. I was suspicious, but it's...... splendid.
I guess that's the crux of the question: does it really require smoldering ashes to get this done? Entrenched power is obviously tough times, but within the system we currently have what are the possibilities?

Code sent to gmail while using gmail..!
Lemmy, a few minutes ago I tried to change my notification settings for a website, but it was not possible using Gmail:
From my phone email inbox I clicked the link to unsubscribe. This opens the website, but via the gmail app. To sign into the website, they sent a single-use sign in code to my email... which I can't access because I'm using the email app to view the website. If I exit the website to view the new email containing the code, then I will lose my place on the site and need a new code sent to sign in. Thus an unresolvable loop.
Is this an asinine gmail issue, or am I an idiot? Please advise. I have ended up staying subscribed to several extremely annoying websites because of this bug/tactic.

Getting experience as a landscape designer?
Hi all,
I'm attempting to change careers into landscape design/architecture, but I'm struggling to gain professional experience.
I've applied to 4 different job in the field, interviewed at one, but haven't had enough "professional experience" to land any of the jobs. Any tips on how to proceed? I was thinking about keeping my current job while also trying freelance for very nominal pay, but I'm not really sure how to go about that either.
For background, I've been at my current (unrelated) job for 6 years, took a community college class on AutoCAD, did a planting plan for a friend, and put together a portfolio (work in CAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, and physical media). I have some experience with plant nurseries, and a degree in biology. An in-person college architecture program is not option due to distance and expense, and I can't find any online programs. My portfolio gets compliments, but I seem to need more drafting experience.

Pixel 3a, battery update - worth it?
Hi all,
I've had a 3a for some years now, and I like almost everything about the phone (though I sincerely wish they'd used more durable glass, holy canoli). However, the battery has started to fail, and I was wondering if it's worth replacing? It would cost about 80 USD to have it professionally replaced.
I know the device is no longer supported by Google, but I was thinking of running GrapheneOS instead of Android, anyway.
Any thoughts or insights? I'm far from a genius when it comes to cell phones, so I'd appreciate anything you have to say.
Thanks!
