I don’t get this graph. So all of US has a smaller incarceration rate than just Louisiana? What?

Diet

No reason to have shame. All I’m saying is if you think your dentist is fucking around you should get a better dentist instead of avoiding them your entire life.

There are clear benefits to getting regular checkups. You are blessed that you don’t have any problems. But that can change quickly with age.

You only get one set of teeth and you don’t know what you don’t know.

All it takes is a simple infection to fuck your shit up. Bite wing X-rays allows you to get ahead of issues like that instead of waiting until it’s an issue because by then it’s too late.

I don’t think you understand what cleanings are…

It’s painfully obvious through all your comments that you don’t know the first thing about cleanings or dental health.

teeth aren’t supposed to be bright white

Dental cleanings don’t make your teeth bright white. Removing tarter doesn’t make your teeth white.

All a dental cleaning should ever be is tarter removal. If your dentist is whitening your teeth then you need to get a proper dentist.

But doing it for decades adds up and may end up cancelling out benefits from exams.

You don’t have the first clue as to what you’re talking about and you’re giving people terrible advice.

Just because they are scraping your teeth with a metal utensil doesn’t mean they are removing enamel. Enamel is a lot harder than you think and lightly scraping it has no effect on it.

Since you’re not a dentist or have any medical training you shouldn’t make such sweeping assumptions.

I’ve been getting cleanings my entire life. My enamel is just fine.

You don’t use a metal spatula or an expensive coated cooking pan, do you?

Non-stick coatings are soft. Enamel isn’t.

Hey did you know enamel is harder than steel? Yup that’s why using a steel scraper on your teeth is fine. It’s why we’ve been doing it for decades without anyone having issues.

Educate yourself for fucks sake. You are incredibly ignorant on this subject. Sounds like you have an extreme phobia and you’re projecting your insecurity on everyone else.

Sounds like you need a better dentist.

There are caring legit dentists out there. I know, hard to believe.

I’d argue that has a lot more to do with genetics and not so much to do with anger.

Sounds like you need statins and not anger management.

we’ve learned that it was because Boeing and the airlines cheaped out on the bolts, the labor, and the maintenance, and then dodged safety regulations

And the same exact thing happens with cars except it happens more easily, more often, and affects more of the population.

Not sure how you missed the point but some how you did.

The point is mechanical failures in cars happen. If it happens to something like the airbag or brakes then it’s likely not a life threatening issue.

If something happens to your wheels or suspension, your axels, etc then it can have catastrophic outcomes when you’re traveling at highway speeds.

People die all the time to mechanical failures in cars resulting in freak accidents. They happen more than you think and a lot of the time it comes down to manufacturing defects. Haven’t you ever seen fight club? The car industry is a lot more lax on safety standards then aviation is and the annual death statistics backs it up.

On the other hand mechanical failures on planes happen all the time. The reality is very few of them result in inoperability and therefore death. It would also require a series of freak incidents to fully cause a crash. Watch the show “Air Disasters” for reference. It’s virtually never just one thing or one mechanical failure that causes a catastrophic incident.

I’d bet the time a standard go-around takes has about tripled for most Boeing flight crews with new-ish jets

Based on what? I’d bet nothing has changed from that perspective.

No but you could just as easily lose control of your car for a dozen other mechanical failures causing you to drive straight into oncoming traffic or a bridge abutment.

Just wait until you find out what happens in the car industry.

If you think poor safety standards and corner cutting is bad in aviation you’ll cringe when you read up on what happens with car manufacturers.

They’re not trying to avoid paying a fair price

Bullshit

That’s four words

Ya this has zero to do with climate change.

There is only so much water you can pull out each year for watering golf courses before it becomes net negative.

That doesn’t sound like optimization.
