And little fun fact the US might have spent BILLIONS building missile defences in Israel but they haven't built a single missile defence system along the gulf coast or anywhere else in the continental united states. The only thing they have is ICBM defence they do not have the missile defences the gulf states, US bases, or Israel have. If Cuba launched drones or missiles then the only way they can defend is to sit destroyers in the sea and try to use those to intercept them. Or use fighters. Which are not very good at doing that.

HA! Not even. Florida has nothing worth hitting really. You know what I'd hit if I was Cuba? The LOOP. Offshore oil tanker loading and unloading facility in Gulf of Mexico south of Louisiana. The LOOP handles roughly 10-13% of US crude oil imports and is crucial for exports. You think gas prices are bad now? Just wait.

There is a difference between what I was talking about and what these studies are talking about. They are studying the actual effects on users. Because electric toothbrushes are able to clean teeth more quickly and with less effort people generally have better outcomes with them overall. What I was pointing out is that this is not the same thing as a "better brush". Clean teeth are clean teeth. Doesn't matter how you get there, and a manual brush is perfectly capable of cleaning your teeth. It's just that your supposed to actually brush for 2 whole minutes and use the proper technique which most people don't do. An electric brush compensates for this which is what the improvements seen in those studies is showing. This is what I meant by the common misconception. People see that generally electric toothbrushes cause better outcomes and assume the overall ability to clean must be better, but if used properly a manual toothbrush gets the job done too.

It's actually a common misconception that vibrating toothbrushes clean your mouth better than manual ones. Just takes a bit of extra effort and time to do it manually. Brushing twice daily for two minutes, covering all tooth surfaces with gentle, short strokes or a proper scrub/polish motion, and reaching along the gumline, is what matters most. Most people fall short on time and technique so that's why dentists will reccomend the electric ones. They do make it easier to get the job done, but there's nothing inherently worse about a manual brush.

Does your washing machine vibrate???

Bit outdated map. Those NATO bases in the Persion Gulf should be erased. Somebody blew them up lol. Also the US pulled out of Afghanistan so that one too. Man the US not doing too hot these last few years is it? ☺️

Why would anyone ever spend more than a few bucks on a toothbrush? Just go to the store and find the cheapest ones. There's only one thing in my house that can vibrate and it certainly doesn't go in my mouth. . . . . . . . . . What did you think I was talking about? I meant my phone you pervert.

I'm actually a big fan of the Gnome workflow on laptops. When using a mouse i HATE Gnome but when using a trackpad? It has no peers. It's entirely designed around gestures. three fingers up to switch apps, side to side to switch desktops, up a 2nd time to get the apps page, etc. I do wish it was more customizable like KDE but it's my go to on a laptop simply because I can't stand using a trackpad with anything else.

Ironically American Revolutionary Thomas Paine in his Common Sense said something that explains this quite well, "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right,[...] Time makes more converts than reason."

The lady went to school to learn how to use the tube fucker wrench. The wrench you shove up inside some random tube for no reason apparently. No one else is allowed to use the term tube fucker wrench. I am copyrighting it.
