Along the topic of timeshares I just got offered one for the first time. Was checking in at a hotel that also has condo-like units and they offered a free breakfast and tour of the campus. I thought ok that’s a little wierd but maybe just an amenity they have. in order to schedule me they started asking wierd things like marital status and income and talk about a free gift card they give people to take the tour. By now I’m pretty sure this is a timeshare sales pitch and after some prying they admitted that it “technically” is so we canceled the whole thing. Later I was look through the signup form out of curiosity and saw that as said he they do require both of a married couple to attend. For single females to attend they are required to have a major credit card and 60k income. Single males may not attend. Any idea why the last 2? Is it just males are more likely to be able to give a hard no to a high pressure sales pitch?

Killingyouguy! posted:What was the relationship between 'Shockwave' and 'Flash'? I remember having to install them separately, but wikipedia seems to imply they were the same product? A bit more to previous answers, Flash was initially a very primitive vector animation format. You could add simple programming like "This button takes you to this scene/frame" but not much more and Shockwave was a more elaborate programming platform. Through the years Flash evolved to have an proper programming language and you could make pretty much anything with it and at the same time Shockwave became more and more obsolete. Shockwave was mainly for games, but Flash could be more easily used for banner ads, websites and games. Habbo Hotel was made with Shockwave.

Will your average water filter (either in a fridge or a basic charcoal pitcher style) remove fluoride from tap water?

The only downside to excessive fluoride (i.e. well above the normal level, which is desirable) in water, that I'm aware of, is that it turns your teeth brown. It's purely aesthetic, and on the plus side, the brown is a hard layer of calcium fluoride that is unlikely to develop cavities.

Then again, I brush using tap water and not filtered, so it probably doesn't matter any way.

I am building a greenhouse. It is made of aluminium and glass, with a few screws. One of the screws broke while being screwed into the hole in the aluminum, so now I have a headless screw in a hole that I need to get out. How do I do that? Obviously, it broke right at the edge, so I can't get at it with pliers and i didn't have any luck drilling into the hole, partly because the drill keeps slipping. (I don't know how to upload an image from my phone nowadays, sorry)

According to my dentist, fluoride in water is especially important for young children cause it gets into their system and then to their "tooth seeds" of their adult teeth developing within their gums. Fluoride in toothpaste doesn't get into their system as well as in water (or pills, which our child takes cause they don't fluoridate the water here)

The chemical equation for how fluoride protects teeth is pretty simple and well known, you can look it up if you remember your high school chemistry. It makes a measurable difference that's been observed statistically in basically every study ever done, having the extra protection in the water supply definitely makes a difference even if people are already brushing. I've never heard of it "getting into your system" as any kind of mechanism for action, it kinda sounds like something he may have made up but I suppose it's possible.

If you search for "screw extractors" there's a million products intended for this specific purpose. Cannot attest to the efficacy or quality of any of them, though. I long ago started buying nothing but expensive torx screws that never break or strip because gently caress everything else.

It was corroborated by two pediatricians, apparently it's now believed to be the dominant mechanism by which fluoride in water benefits people. I grew up with fluoridated water and after moving where I am now (which has no fluoride in the water) two dental hygienists and a dentist all took one look at my teeth and said "you didn't grow up here did you." It's that clear of a difference.

That's interesting, I think it's just sodium fluoride they use but I guess the human body isn't going to have that much fluoride in it without the water supply so maybe indirect exposure through blood or gums or whatever could be more significant than direct contact through drinking. I suppose your teeth spend a lot more time in contact with saliva and gums than they do with drinking water so maybe I shouldn't be that surprised.

I am honestly unsure if the water supply where I grew up was fluoridated or not. It's possible it wasn't... I grew up in Phoenix and the municipal water tasted nasty and smelled worse, so nobody drank it. Everyone had filtered water that came in big jugs. Might explain why I had cavities in my molars the moment they came in.... I've used fluoride rinse every night since then, and have had a few cavities here and there. The water here is fluoridated, thank god. I checked. Every municipal water supply in this state (CT) is fluoridated. Rip you if you use a well, probably!

When I am reading an online recipe it's normal to list the ingredients and then the instructions. Does everyone have to constantly scroll between the two or is it just me who can't remember how much I'm supposed to use? Seems like I could save a ton of time if it just said "add the flour (1 and ¼ cups)" and save me from checking the ingredients for the fifth time.
