As a kid I learned from the dentist that you should massage your gums with the toothbrush. I've recently learned that you should absolutely not and this is why I have retracted gums and exposed roots that hurt like a motherfucker.

Childhood dentist that is probably long dead, I wish you bad thoughts wherever you are.

    Like the Penn and Teller Desert Bus game except instead of eight hours of real time driving a bus in the desert it is fifty years of real time not driving a probe in space.

    On a festival, many moons ago, long before mobile phones were ubiquitous. Sharing tent camp with friends of friends that I was barely acquainted with. One early evening one of them got a bit too drunk and was left behind by his buddies, leaving my girlfriend and me to help him before our next concert was up. So he decided I'm his best friend for being nice and also that I'm much too nice so I deserve having my head bashed in, switching between the two with a few minutes of each. He was a muscle builder strong man type that did boxing. I was not. Was a tad stressful.

    He was very apologetic next day but I decided to keep my distance anyway.

    This time for calling out Nazis that adopt Norse mythology and culture. No hate, no threats, just the reasoning that if they believe in genetic racial supremacy, they must bow down to my guaranteed superior Scandinavian genetic purity and heed my words that racism is for the weak to steal valor by the least common denominator.

    This time not even a ban from a mod of some random sub but sitewide from an administrator.

    I'm not even mad. I got under their skin. It's worth it every time.

    Edit: I'm not claiming to be racially superior but I'm demanding those that do to be consequent or admit it's bullshit

     

    I wanted a durable sustainable large light bottle and found these ones from Spain. Large dog and me consume a lot of water so I opted for a one liter single walled that would still fit in my bum bag bottle holder. Despite not a thermos it keeps refrigerated water cold for at least an hour or more in the current 28°C heat so I'm happy.

    Edit: response from Laken customer service:

    Pellicle plentiful (lemmy.world)
     

    I've had plenty of pellicle lately despite not changing anything in my routines. I even have it in some bottles with a small head of air. I'm not worried but I'm curious about the cause. I've done a few brews with brettanomyces that are more prone to pellicle but even several without have had a thin white surface. Could it be brett living in the air contaminating or the spring times have naturally more wild yeasts of which some are more sensitive?

     

    Well, not celebrities but TV shows and game shows where they appear.

    Edit: I'm sorry to any Brits that feel offended. It's not a criticism of British dental care. I think you are maybe taking a shower thought a bit too serious. Also I'm not American but Scandinavian design though my teeth must be empire.
