so they're going to take all of those bottles out of the water and pay to put them into some garbage truck that takes the truckload of bottles and dumps it in some other body of water, right?

True. If I could get a cheap one that used regular floss that would be cool. Any such thing out there? These work really great and do a better job than floss alone for the back teeth.

I get more exposure to dirt and stuff than I probably should because I am sloppy in some of the work I do. I take Albendazole a couple times a year, a drug that costs $0.25 a pill in India, and $100 and up per pill in the US.

Point of fact, we max out our insurance deductible, but it's the principle of the thing. I'd rather put $100 into the Indian economy and get 25 doses of something, than put $100 into the US healthcare system for a pill.

What was the film (or show, maybe?) that had a Freaky Friday-like body-swapping plot wherein a young woman and an older man switch places and the girl tries to live life to the fullest and the old guy just obsessively flosses?

Makes a lot more sense twenty years (and fifteen teeth) later.

haha I've never actually seen it but I am pretty sure this is the movie you mean, because my dad watched this in like 1990 and described a scene to me where some old man is talking about how he wishes he'd taken better care of his teeth

i don't remember what i had for breakfast for a lot of last week but I remember that. Thanks weed.

Is that it? if so this is going to amuse the gently caress out of me, because it's such a random, specific thing. Also, darn it dad, here we are 31 years later and I wish I'd taken better care of my teeth!

Conversely, if that's not it, then that's at least two pieces of media with this theme.

Yup, you'll survive longer into the coming wars, plagues, famines etc. leading up to the air turning into predominantly CO2 if you get your dental work first.

i had some lovely fillings that would shred a lot of floss, except for that glide floss mentioned in the article. i was using it for 7 years until a new dentist fixed it when the filling needed replacement anyways. lol. lmao

https://fvcurrent.com/article/fraser-valley-unacceptable-dikes/

quote:

Unacceptable.

That was the verdict of engineers five years ago after they inspected a critical dike on Sumas Prairie. The 17-kilometre levee had a key job: stop the drained basin of what was once Sumas Lake from refilling with 10 feet of water. But inspectors warned the dike was two feet lower than it should be, and that it would be unable to stop flood waters if and when the Nooksack River breached its banks.

The engineers, who were hired by the province to review dikes all around the Lower Mainland, gave the crest (or height) of the Sumas dike the lowest possible grade—one out of four—and a corresponding label: “unacceptable.”

“Overtopping is expected during Nooksack River overflow,” they declared. “The dike design profile likely needs to be updated. The dike geometry is substandard, causing concern.”

The inspectors were right. The levee was never fixed. And last week, waters from the rain-swollen Nooksack spilled north and ran downhill into Sumas Prairie. By Tuesday, millions of gallons of silty water had pushed over, and then directly through, the so-called “interceptor” dike, forcing thousands from their homes, killing livestock, inundating Highway 1, and submerging one of the most fertile sections of land in the province.

absolutely no way this could have been predicted or prepared for

did they not try voting in BC?
