Just curious, does fluoridated water help adults much? I can see fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwash, that stuff gets on your teeth and sits there for a while. But drinking water doesn't actually contact many of your teeth and it's brief.

I was debating making that joke in the grownup forum then pulled it. I might be slightly paranoid.

I think joeboo's parents died in a sous vide accident.

Inactivity reminders from IPT come from not logging into the website. Just keep a tab open to the top 10 and check it once in a while for new releases you might want.

Have some cheese instead.

I do have health insurance. I don't take it for granted though. My expectations are that insurance finds a way to not pay my bills instead of the other way around. My experience so far with my newborn have not disappointed that expectation.

You drained it at work? Poor taste.

I don't know how the chemical works, but it seems to weaken the follicles. A lot of them broke above the skin instead of being pulled out completely. Post 4000 about butt hair removal, oddly appropriate.

Tried that, didn't remove all the hair. Waited 4 days, applied again, got a bad reaction.

Just curious, how do you manage that? I'm paranoid about going near that region with a razor.

Nester doesn't like his personality type.

My point is that there's only so much control you can exert over your future expenses. What if your health fails unexpectedly? What if social security is insolvent some point in the future? What if medicare is repealed? What if taxes on investment income increases? I don't think any of...

Full-time teaching jobs are hard to come by in some locales. You basically have to wait for someone to retire.

People that abuse flexible work hours. If you're going to show up to work at 11AM or even noon, why even fucking bother? Kinda hard to ask you questions if you aren't here half the time.

Retiring that early seems out of place in that guy's overall "doctrine". By retiring that early, aren't you essentially borrowing from your future self by not generating some income? Also, that's a pretty big bet to take. A lot of things could happen after 42 that would greatly affect your...

I picked it up in 2005, the delays used to bug me, don't give a shit anymore. The TV series has something to do with that in some way even though I haven't even bothered to watch past Season 2(I disliked their version of the Sack of Winterfell). Even at my extremely casual pace of reading...

You are correct! Perhaps not that close to deviled ham, just the closest analogue I could think of, I guess. Still, ground ham doesn't sound that appetizing. What does it add over a regular meatloaf?

Awesome, saved myself some time! Shit, I'm still at work.

Ground ham and ground beef, yes. Trying to catch me in a sausage trap?

Where's that personality test? I want to see if I'm still a fuckhead.

Sounds like someone tried to make deviled ham, ran out of ham halfway through, and then motivation shortly after. I've had deviled ham often as a kid. I don't think I would eat it again now that I think of it. Your concoction doesn't sound that great either.

I don't know if that's the same. I haven't seen this movie, but I was ok with the absurdness of Columbia or Rapture because pretty much anything in scifi gets a pass on its premise. Flying city(or the tech that enables it)? ok. Underwater city? ok. Reanimated corpses? ok. Serial killer...

How easy is it to get a PTP invite if you have a (longstanding)BTN membership?

Yeah, I was going to say, chop off the first sentence of that paragraph and it applies perfectly here.

But keeping weight off helps you get chicks! I just want to mention that while Brutul's assumptions are probably right for 99% of the population, he'll probably meet some resistance here. I'm not sure what it is, but this forum, or maybe video gamer culture, tends to attract societal...

No, regular old loan. This is our first house, so we qualified, but the they had changed FHA to make it practically the same or worse. You should really only get FHA if you can't afford much of a down payment. We put 10% down. Is it really that low? I'll admit I didn't look it up, I thought...

Relatively soon. I have a threshold on repairs dollars per month, and if it goes over that number for a given year, we'll start looking for a new car. Hasn't happened yet, but given the age of the cars, we wouldn't be surprised if it does in the near future. Hence why we might put more money...

What did you do after losing the weight? I think maintenance is harder than loss. Pretty easy to brute force any eating surplus by just exercising even more. True, while you can do that while maintaining, your margins are much smaller. And you have to know how much extra food you ate and...

I don't have a dog in this fight, but you shouldn't really use the New York Jets as proof of anything besides a cruel god.

Oh, I'm sure of that. I'm being a bit indirect here. The benefit of throwing out an easy question that I could directly solve myself is that others might recommend some solutions or advice that I might not have thought of. Already I have good long term advice and some good recommendations for...

I like the elegance of that outlook. I was just resolved to work until I couldn't, and if I could retire earlier, that would be a nice surprise. I'm pretty certain I don't have 15 years worth of investments though. I suspect if I calculated it out, I might be somewhat saddened by the result.

No, that's kinda the advice I'm looking for. For example, I know enough that paying off my house early is stupid because the interest rate is so low, probably below inflation. But my wife's are likely above inflation, so paying those off *might* make sense. I don't know how to calculate those...

I'm still not sure what exactly Brutul is railing against.

Not a whole lot. But we've got more than enough in savings to put a substantial down payment on a new car and still have 6+ months of income saved. Plus, there's some wiggle room in the monthly budget. It's enough that we should really do something with it instead of just letting it sit...

Chicken Keiv is similar. Technically not the same, it's a cutlet rolled around some butter, breaded, and deep fried. Essentially the same result.

So I've been "rereading" the series here: Malazan Reread of the Fallen - Series | Tor.com And I thought it would be something I'd understand the second time. But I still don't get the switcheroo Erikson plays with the Crippled God. For 7 books, the guy is a gigantic dick. He corrupts...

Is that a salaried position? My wife finished her art education degree but never did her certification. Wonder if I could use something like that to motivate her.

Yeah, that's why I leaned towards playing knife jugglers, flame imps, and void walkers first. Didn't seem to help much.

Trying to do a post mortem, maybe it wasn't the RNG that made me quit, but the deck I was using. Is murlock basically not feasible anymore? I see other "face" decks posted and they have a decent amount of removal options. The murlock deck I was running had basically soulfire and that was it...

Yes, the trolls usually do win when the punishment is trivial. Not a remark on Soy, btw.
