Out of curiosity, what habits would you adopt? Flossing? Or is there something else doctors recommend? A cursory search seems to bring up rather regular dental hygiene.

I wonder if there is a name for the phenomenon where people do something that leads to negative consequences but they technically "did everything right". I have a friend who crosse…

Most discussions are online now and the content generated by AI will most definitely make its way into the "real world". The recent case of people getting food poisoning to an AI-g…

Great example of how not to name a show. I'd have at least a few other associations before clicking on it to see what it was actually about. Clark Kent? Clark and Gable? Wouldn't s…

> History and data from various European nations suggest that some immigrant groups aren't able to integrate with the host society after multiple generations, and remain ghettoized…

NYT is still good at coverage, I'd just argue that the optics of their coverage can be removed from their original, erm, style, at times. (I don't want to say "politics" but we all…

I highly doubt software that doctors use for patient notes and prescriptions would even have the option to enable autocorrect. If it does, that’s a giant oversight on the devs’ par…

It's a reference to their music, although a very poorly thought out one. But I don't think the result is entirely fair, as Fat Mike is a record label owner. That's not what one may…

I'll say this, with the caveat that I never did finish the book due to unrelated reasons, this is an excellent method. One may think "It's fine, I'll simply read the text and then,…

That's a very good way of putting it. Songs evoke a very multifaceted sort of experience, I can't think of a better way to put it - they make both sides of the brain fire up. A goo…

The article seems to make the claim he lives there but it's not really backed up by anything. I checked his Wikipedia and the last update is him studying at the University of Bonn,…

Do you have a source for him living in Russia? He may be an honorary researcher, which is more likely, considering the two of them escapes Russia years ago with no intention to ret…

I've been mulling this over since yesterday. The best way I can explain is that I genuinely taste different "notes" in coffee brewed in different ways and from different beans, whe…

Well, you're lucky to not have spoiled your palate, in a way. I learned to love good coffee through my friends and I now only drink regular espressos from a machine if there's no o…

Current AI isn’t ready for that yet, though. What’s available to us couldn’t even be effectively used for research on Earth’s out-of-reach places, much less on Mars. In some years,…

Well, we have to account for the fact that modern system simply don't require that much optimization and compression. Working with stricter limits meant that dev teams had to get c…

I found it creepy at first, then I saw a comment saying it looks like the lamp from the Pixar intro and now I can’t take it seriously. Beautiful movement, though. I hope one day th…

The top post on that subreddit is hilarious: "[Chinese] 報復性熬夜 (revenge bedtime procrastination) - a phenomenon in which people who don’t have much control over their daytime life r…

But that's a learned behaviour, and one learned specifically thanks to decades of marketing. Sure, LEGO is quality, but it's not some unbeatable gold standard. At some point it sim…

For a quick, breezy puzzle that you should be able to do within the space of a coffee break, this feels like it moves way too slowly. Takes a bit for the ball to start rolling and …

Both, I suppose. From some of the things I've read about crimes related to minors over the years, I usually at least was heartened to see the people responsible were often arrested…

Good lord, this is a terrifying story. What’s puzzling to me is that it seemingly downplays a lack of action by the police. Multiple times it seems the platforms reported the membe…

I can't imagine a child would develop long-term trust issues based on a parent lying about Santa Claus. If it's a pattern of the parent constantly saying things like "your doggy we…

How is that even allowed to be called recycling? As in, is it genuinely a term defined legally and, if so, who allowed this to happen? Because burning is most certainly not recycli…

That is tragic, I didn’t even know about that aspect but it, sadly, makes sense within a suicidal person’s logic.
