I do the xylitol gum! I think countries in asia regularly markets this as part of good dental hygiene for those reasons you listed. Some of the gum containers advertise, white healthy teeth. Not sure why the US doesn't promote xylitol gum more.

Yep, while driving, stopped, or parked and trapped in the car with whatever task is involved in the commute. I keep a little trash container in the car for normal trash and just chuck the placker in there when done.

This is for all my floss-averse people out there: put floss plackers in your car. I floss way more this way than in front of my sink. Yes, not optimal dental hygiene but there's just something that just clicks in my head and makes me want to do it when driving around vs literally any other time.

Thanks for all the advice and infos - super helpful! I looked at both the 600 and 750 this weekend and the price difference was not much, about $1k difference with a tradeoff in performance. The weight of the 750 surprised me as well.

I think 600s have been a dream of mine for a while so it's been a nice unfolding of events to be considering a bigger i4 and one that I can sit on comfortably as I'm vertically challenged. I read somewhere that the gsxr750 has the best ergos for supersport because of that low seat height - might be a turn off for some who want a more aggressive lean forward position, but I'm all about comfort once no one is looking lol.

Thanks for the pics too - great looking bike!

Looking to upgrade from a Ninja 650R - had both of these bikes as my top picks and trying to get some opinions on both bikes as far as value, comfort, quirks, etc.

It would greatly help out with the white suits if you know what I mean...

Inclement weather. Any kind really but the bigger, the better. Snow flurries, a really big thunderstorm, howling wind - I turn 5 years old again every time. Just overcome with excitement and fear and awe.

Wait, so does conception start at the mission briefing? Or the general's speech? Asking to inform my local politician.

I think this depends on what invisible means. Does it mean no detectable signature - IR/thermal, scent, sound, etc.? Or just not on the visible light spectrum for humans? If not detectable at all, I think it would hold greater value for information gathering and have a lot of useful applications in hostage and other criminal situations, as well as state security through a very useful means of tradecraft. All that's out the door if a couple of rottweilers can sniff me out though.

It's a bit of a monkey's paw question as having either power puts a huge burden of secrecy as well as the threat of danger on yourself and whomever you choose to share knowledge of it that with.

Is it just 1 pill for one-time use? I need this information to know if I can reuse some of these pill options.

If I had to watch that and then be expected to work the same day/week - everyone's order is going to fucked up.

Oh absolutely. Anyone got any recs for the Northern Virginia area??

Usually it's culture that's not their own, from a position of expertise. Theres a fairly good chance of putting out some really bad info and it can also come off as racially or culturally insensitive - which I want no part of. Extra cringe when it's your own culture that they're talking about and you're put in that awkward position of having to do an ackchyually...

 

My family is split on this. Overall I think it's more of a bad thing that really only benefits the big hotel chains. Has this new law affected anyone here negatively or postively?

Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don't know who you are siding with!

Has anyone read this or any of Tchaikovsky's other works??
