Might have something to do with cats having problems focusing on objects closer than 30 cm (unlike ~10cm in humans), so from their perspective there is a hand shaped blur approaching them and smell might confirm that it is in fact, a hand?

So… rkhunter?

Either you pay bug bounties, or crypto locker ransoms.

Samsung? More like Sam screamed.

Well I’m convinced that you’re on of those people that doesn’t get any plague, or maybe a dentist from the 1950s. That’s just not true for most people.

“US government does something since 2016” probably equals Trump gutted something important, hell even the US’s CDC has been defunded.

Some people are experts at making more pointless busywork for themselves. My parents had a real knack of storing things that need to be used in one room and replaced often… as far away as possible. Like who the fuck keeps spare kitchen paper towels in the bedroom?

Nope, not even with an electric one. It doesn’t get into the areas between the teeth at all if you’re using it at intended pressures.

It definitely at least stops plaque from forming, which otherwise irritates the gums so they eventually recede. Some people somehow just don’t get plaque for some reason so in that case it’s maybe pointless, but most people do.

It is funny though how dentists still feel closer to some kind of village shaman. Each performing their weird rituals, absolutely convinced that they’re correct and all others are clearly wrong. Probably because they’re not actual doctors and also happen to have a horrible monetary conflict of interest to let people have terrible teeth.

Well it’s understandable, the concept of being able to actually cooperate and do something about the environment on a world scale instead of just blindly pretending it’s not a thing until it kills us all is a bit hard to believe for younger generations for obvious reasons.

VW are a part of that side that lobbied to delay as much as possible too in fact, they were trying to hold on to their diesel designs for as long as humanly possible and only made their first serious EV in 2020, literally a decade after Nissan and after every other major manufacturer except for Subaru, Mazda and Toyota who still hopes hydrogen will be something.

Them preaching about EVs has to be some guiness world record for hypocrisy.

I think Slate Auto is what you’re looking for, but it’s just concepts at the moment. No idea if they’ll actually deliver.

“They asked me how well I understood terrorism. I said I have a lot of experience in terrorism. They said welcome aboard.”

The most realistic part of this joke is that the bartender is also a mathematician, probably after they did not qualify for any phd research grant.

I think that’s what doomed the Costa Concordia.

“Something smells fishy”

She should… curb her enthousiasm.

I hate it when I come down with a nasty case of salmon.

The key is “temporarily” though. Even in the 18th century and prior when technology evolved at the pace of a snail on sedatives that meant 5, maybe 10, at most 15 years.

Then in the 90s the world’s international cartel of IP rights got together and decided they should make it 20 years everywhere, just so corporations can monopolize anything they make for the entire the duration of its usefulness. With the speed of progress today I’d be surprised if most aren’t obsolete before they become available to the general public. 3D printing is only a thing now because Stratasys was hoarding the FDM patent since the fucking 90s.

Shit needs to go back down to 5 years again.
