I do the xylitol gum! I think countries in asia regularly markets this as part of good dental hygiene for those reasons you listed. Some of the gum containers advertise, white healthy teeth. Not sure why the US doesn’t promote xylitol gum more.

Yep, while driving, stopped, or parked and trapped in the car with whatever task is involved in the commute. I keep a little trash container in the car for normal trash and just chuck the placker in there when done.

This is for all my floss-averse people out there: put floss plackers in your car. I floss way more this way than in front of my sink. Yes, not optimal dental hygiene but there’s just something that just clicks in my head and makes me want to do it when driving around vs literally any other time.

It would greatly help out with the white suits if you know what I mean…

Inclement weather. Any kind really but the bigger, the better. Snow flurries, a really big thunderstorm, howling wind - I turn 5 years old again every time. Just overcome with excitement and fear and awe.

Wait, so does conception start at the mission briefing? Or the general’s speech? Asking to inform my local politician.

I think this depends on what invisible means. Does it mean no detectable signature - IR/thermal, scent, sound, etc.? Or just not on the visible light spectrum for humans? If not detectable at all, I think it would hold greater value for information gathering and have a lot of useful applications in hostage and other criminal situations, as well as state security through a very useful means of tradecraft. All that’s out the door if a couple of rottweilers can sniff me out though.

It’s a bit of a monkey’s paw question as having either power puts a huge burden of secrecy as well as the threat of danger on yourself and whomever you choose to share knowledge of it that with.

Is it just 1 pill for one-time use? I need this information to know if I can reuse some of these pill options.

Oh absolutely. Anyone got any recs for the Northern Virginia area??

Checked out their website - looks like they have a lot of rider themed ambiance. Very cool!

I watched my dad fall into depression after retirement. The same for a family friend who was able to retire early in their 40’s. I think a lot of people only plan for the financial side of retirement and don’t plan for post-retirement hobbies and activities. It took these 2 people’s examples to open my eyes a bit and start planning for a heavy hobbying which will also look different from light hobbying where you are still committed to other things like work and raising a family.

So a few reasons:

Hawaii has a non-mainland, dont-look-like-you’re-trying-too-hard kind of vibe. Business people don’t wear full suits downtown. You’re not even supposed to show up at the interview in a suit or you’ll look off. Unfortunately this crosses over into motorcycle safety. So if you ride all geared up, you’ll look like you’re…not from Hawaii.

Island infrastructure is also pretty delicate. Traffic can be frequently gridlock and unpredictable. There’s been a few cases where a traffic incident shut the entire island down for most of the day. Add that it’s hot most of the year and you get tank top riders.

Most island residents, probably most of the ones you see riding, don’t have high incomes and Hawaii is one of the most expensive states to live in. Gear is expensive. And they got that bike from their cousin.

If you throw in 5. Scary Movie Marathon, this is literally my Halloween plans. I’m very excited to be hosting myself. And my cats.

I’ve never heard of this witchcraft. This is exactly what I need.

Edit: heard not beard

So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.

Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?

God’s work my friend

That’s a good perspective - just like this guy

I will take ghosts and demonic possession over 25% rent increases and shit landlords and shit upstairs/downstairs neighbors.

Congratulations Void. Well done. Ok you can stop now. Really, you can just stop.
