How does a fluoride-free toothpaste help with proper remineralization?
quote:
Formation of Fluorapatite: When fluoride is present during remineralization, it integrates with calcium and phosphate ions to form fluorapatite (or fluorhydroxyapatite). This crystalline structure is significantly harder and much more resistant to future acid attacks than the tooth's original hydroxyapatite.

Y'all need to eat more fiber and stop dropping those Nerf Turbos.

There are pressure assisted residential toilets. Probably cheaper to keep a poop knife handy though.

I've had a Nespresso Vertuo machine for the last 10+ years but I also have a Bunn commercial-grade drip machine, the type that has a heated reservoir of water and starts brewing as soon as cold water is poured in. I bought it from a neighbor for $10.
re: Whole home water filtration
Posted by Clames on 11/9/26 at 8:48 pm to pittmanmt63
Does the municipal water come into your house in a way that makes installing the filtration system feasible? Whole-house filtration is great but can get very expensive, very quickly. I installed a good single-stage under-sink setup at my kitchen sink and a smaller dual-stage system in one of the upstairs bathroom vanities. I have access to the main cold-water line but it's blocked by how my water heater is installed, future project will involve installing a large two-stage system that will cover the water going to the water heater and the rest of the house.

I got a Lee Valley catalog last week "Christmas Catalog 2026".

re: When Will Your Last Lawn Mow of the Season Be?
Posted by Clames on 11/8/26 at 2:11 pm to shutterspeed
Mowed my front yard this morning, hopefully for the last time this season. Leaves are starting to drop so the lawn mower switches positions for the yard vacuum and the leaf blowers are getting a tune up today.

morning in Nashville and I was 30 seconds from sleep to the best double espresso anywhere.
Well, doesn't help the coffee shops there keep banker's hours. I was in Nashville last month and not a single local place I was told to try was open before 0700.
Had a private dinner there a few years ago, amazing museum.
re: Home Use Vacuum
Posted by Clames on 11/5/26 at 3:19 pm to CatfishJohn
Outside of a few commercial-grade options which generally have pretty short runtimes, corded units are still the best option for residential. If you are a buy-once-cry-once sort then Sebo is hard to beat. Local vacuum dealers are usually the best place to look and can often try something out first to see how it works. I only have two rooms left that have carpet, soon it will be all hard floors and a few low-pile rugs, I can pretty much run a shopvac for all I need now.

Bossier Chamber of Commerce actively works with local military units and there are several veterans support orgs they work with too. They invite local military unit leaders and representatives to various functions throughout the year, still get their emails.

Yeah, the city-owned veterans support office is in a small building off of Madison Ave, inadequate signage to find the place unless you know exactly where it was. Most times the best places that offer support are small communities in the proximity of an active military installation.
I've always used a double Windsor, proper classic knot. My dad was a Brit, that was all he used and I learned it from him. If you are making it too wide you're either tying it wrong or need to choose a better tie.
My second surgery was a port procedure, through about a 4" incision in my right side through the rib cage. Faster recovery but also very sore right under the right scapula as those ribs are still pulled to make enough room for the robotic arm. Also my right lung had to be partially collapsed so I had a little extra respiratory therapy while recovering in the hospital. Just forcing myself to move and push my stamina everyday helped me get back in shape in a few months.
re: Who Waited Until Today To Vote?

I did, I get PTO to go vote and there was zero waiting in line. No idea why I would do it differently.

The "studies" being cited by the NAACP and other activists are being provided by environmental legal firms, hackwork studies that were debunked by the local university's published study that found the emissions were at or below national standards and there is no short-term or long-term air quality impacts.

There are gas turbines providing power all over the US, they can supply clean, reliable power on a small footprint. They run 24/7 and you never knew they existed until your EDS kicked in.

My honest question in all of this is where SpaceX is getting those gas turbines for the permanent power station so fast. There's a 6 year lead time from Mitsubishi, General Electric, and Seimens right now.
Maybe SpaceX started purchasing them years ago. Maybe they are upgrading existing turbines too. Maybe your question is easily answered with 10 minutes on Google.

If that happens, the locals there will be very happy that whatever data center that is popping up around them will not be permanently relying on dozens of temporary, loud units.
