I use flossing picks, instead of dental floss, because some of my teeth are too tight to get floss between. (But there’s room for a pick at the base of the tooth, where it’s really needed.)
I counted that as “flossing”.
Then i brush.
Sometimes i finish up with a waterpik, as well.
I like flossing picks also. I use the Oral-B ones.
Note fellow SDMBers- do not brush right after meals. Chew sugar free gun or use an alcohol free mouthwash instead.
Team, an acerbic, bitter, old white guy who’s most famous bit was about how he couldn’t be a raging asshole on TV without being censored by ‘the man’ is a prime candidate for MAGAfication.
His daughter disagrees, and so do I.
I voted only for peppers that I would eat raw.
If they are chopped up and cooked, the heat is diffused. If I chop a ghost pepper into my breakfast taco mix it might have the same heat effect as chomping on a raw serrano, or almost no heat at all (the 1,000 gallons of soup possibility). The heat is definitely spread around, and too unpredictable IMO, for the poll.
I’ve had an orange habanero once. We were at a Thai restaurant (in the eighties, when they were quite rare), and my father dared me to eat that “little orange pepper” on the side of my plate. I don’t think he expected me to take him up on that.
He was surprised, and I was in agony. There was not enough milk in the world.
If we were really talking raw, I would just go up through the pepperoncini. If we’re talking about something like, say, salsa, I’ve happily gone all the way up through habanero, though I couldn’t tell you which kind.
She sounds right on the money. Not that he wouldn’t have things to say about democrats too.
I left out pepperoncini but went a few higher. It’s not the heat, I don’t like the flavor.
I hate pepper flavor, especially cooked. But I’m also not a fan of “hot”. I can tolerate small amounts of hot pepper so long as they don’t impart that nasty pepper flavor.
So I voted I’m not having any of them.
I like hot stuff. The takeout restaurant can’t make it too hot for me. That said, I’m fine up to whatever’s just hotter than a habanero, I’m good up to maybe a million Scovilles. I’m certain I could tolerate more than that, but I fail to see the point in doing so.
Re: MMM’s “exclude 10 states” relocation poll - there’s not enough states I could safely live in to take that gamble, I’d have to quit the job. Lotta fun having to avoid ~33% of your own country, let me tell ya.
Yeah, I’d quit the job. Of course, now that I’m retired, I’d quit any theoretical job at the drop of a hat.
I’m a little surprised at the way the wedding ceremony poll is going, but there are probably more people writing their own vows nowadays than when all my friends and family were getting married. The phrase, “Should anyone here present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace” or some variation was always in the traditional vows; I suppose if a guest knew one of them was already married or that they were actually siblings, they could speak up, but I’ve never seen it. Probably the rise of smartasses who would interrupt a wedding for the lolz has speeded the omission of the phrase.
Just want to point out that polls are limited to 50 options.
Now, if I had posted the poll back in '58…
mmm
I am surprised by the wedding/objection poll.
In the UK, it’s part of the standard wedding service.
(That is, for all the weddings i’ve attended, ie of the CofE (Church of England) type)
We had a revolution to be able to take that out of the wedding vows. I’ve never heard it in person just like I’ve never heard “obey.”
I honestly do not remember whether any weddings I’ve been to had the objection clause.
You mean like this?..
Our high school only had six periods, an hour each. We needed to leave time in the later afternoon for all of our student athletes!
