That’s like asking why we can’t just eliminate gonorrhea… people keep inoculating each other with the bad shit.

I do tell my expecting parents (who happen to have bad teeth) that they should not test the food in their mouth and use the same spoon with their new child, as they will be passing on their bacteria to the kid. I do also imply they shouldn’t share things like drinks.

Whether or not they listen to me isn’t my problem…

Sometimes there’s just something that seems wrong. Why did the man turn back? Why did he then claim someone had called out to him? The OP felt something was off and acted on it.

An enby I encountered a fair bit back home would call everyone friend, and I might refer to people as folks. I am lucky I’m Australian, so mate also works.

The 3m 6035 filter only has a replacement schedule for infection control reasons, implying the outside may become too contaminated.

It was the original pandemic filter (there is a model up that does organic vapours too), marketed as being used for at least one pandemic wave.

No filter will last 10 years of daily use, at some point even your washable car filters or cleanable air purifier filters clog up and break down. But these are very long lasting for what they do, and I can see someone being able to stretch them out to one every six months, if in a hospital setting.

That you have kept in touch means the school didn’t try hard… 😂

If it’s fungal we are very, very, VERY fucked.

It’s user submitted as to where the blocks are, so a very new video won’t have it yet. One that’s been up for a while, and with enough votes, then yes.

We have a gaming laptop at work, but there’s a hand held 3d scanner attached to it and it builds the model as we scan. Only gaming laptops have a GPU good enough to do this.

She can always ask for a bilateral salpingectomy. A lot of CF women have successfully had that done as IVF is still possible. If, however, she has endometriosis which is why she actually wants the hysterectomy done, then that’s a fair bit harder. I’m unsure if there’s a CF community on Lemmy, but the one on the other site had a lot of resources on how to talk with medical practitioners to get referred to someone who would do the treatment.

At the time, the airline also said it wasn’t their fault or responsibility it happened (i.e., they had no power over it happening), but now at the hearing they claim they will ensure it won’t happen again. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

The last time this photo was shared, the associated pages noted they had artificially induced agenesis, then used this drug to restart development. It’s why the drug’s first trials would be, as you suspected, on people where dormant buds did not progress.

Which headsets have you tried?

My home provider does not offer esim so physical is what I use. When I’m travelling I use esim almost exclusively unless there’s a killer physical Sim deal.

The instructors advise you to speak aloud your actions as you do them. Also helps if you have already levelled out instructions to the rent a crowd to perform specific tasks like send for help and get the defib and you three who said yes to cpr training let’s line up and take turns doing cpr.

…of course, the training to be comfortable giving these instructions is not really done.

Mineral constantly comes in and out of the enamel crystal matrix due to acid challenge (which occurs for a variety of reasons), and including fluoride when it goes back in creates a more acid resistant crystal.

This occurs no matter the age of the individual. Systemic uptake is something to be mindful of at young ages, so it’s actually important to have not too much when younger, but you can go up to an adult dose past the age of 7.

It’s useful in immature teeth because the grooves have not yet taken up enough fluoride to be acid resistant enough against the modern diet. Not all immature teeth need them either, as not everyone has those deep grooves. Furthermore, this only protects against decay on that surface if it’s done well - and a lot of the time a wriggly kid means saliva has contaminated the surface and now you have an extra interface of failure.

In adults the benefit is a lot less (if the groove was decay prone, they would have formed a cavity there by the time they see a dentist), and doing this procedure may actually increase the risk of decay than reduce (due to the extra interface of failure).

Lastly, this only protects that surface - not in between teeth. A lot of cavities happen between because there’s a lot of plaque being left behind there… Because almost nobody flosses properly.

Use your interdental brushes folks! And stop drinking soda… And use extra high fluoride toothpaste.

I thought humid was good for asthma. 🫣

Yeah, possibly. Not sure how often they are involved with funding Costco samples haha.

(And there are definitely no VC involved in the discussion I had with the person, as we were discussing small family owned businesses that only have one location)

And where did the money come from in the first place? I get that advertising increases sales (literally why anyone would do samples), but it’s not like that money isn’t from previous sales.

As a hypothetical then. Costco hands out “freebies”. Who pays for the freebies?

The members, Costco, the businesses manufacturing the items being sampled, or a combination of these?

Or would you claim Costco pays for this completely, and that the money that pays for this is completely unrelated to the members, the money just comes from somewhere?

…I encountered someone who made the latter claim. Perhaps the truth is some other third option I have not considered (which I would appreciate you pointing out, I need more practice thinking outside the box), but I highly doubt there is some money box that pays for customer “freebies” that isn’t somehow funded from customer revenue.
