There's other ways to do that too. Kids here (Netherlands) get fluoride treatments from a young age (after their adult teeth have come through, I think) up to 18. It's not particularly enjoyable but like you said, it benefits you for the rest of your life.

Free/affordable healthcare means checkups at the dentist about every 6 months. After the checkup you get these two small jaw shaped containers (for upper and lower sides) filled with a fluoride paste and you just sit there for a few minutes drooling into a metal bowl. There's even flavours but they're all gross, haha. Apparently that's on purpose so you don't swallow too much.

Anyway, this whole fluoride in the water thing appears to be a very US based discussion, so I've got no horse in this race. I just wish the US had better, more affordable healthcare to begin with.

As much as I'd love for people to do this, there's probably a ton of software safeguards to prevent this. Even if you'd get around it, those greedy fuckers will undoubtedly void your warranty. And somehow that's legal too.

Not pooping? I'm almost afraid to ask, but that's the only one I've not come across yet...

Too bad the Belastingdienst (Dutch Taxservice) is a massive shitshow on pretty much anything else. Their hardware is so damn old new tax laws can't be passed, because it would break the systems. Of course this is more the fault of shitty upper management and poor political will to do anything about it.

I really want to switch back but... honestly: Chromium Edge, despite a few annoying features being shoved in your face, is actually a really nice browser IMO. It's definitely going to take some time to get used to FF again.

I'm so used to things like vertical tabs, icon only bookmarks, etc... I know I can change a lot in FF myself, but having to add custom css and whatnot on every device I use FF on is just annoying.

In other news: large amount of Russians fall from stairs and windows this week.

WhatsApp used to be a yearly paid app. Even though they rarely actually "collected".

I wish it still was and Meta never got their grubby hands on it.

They bought Bethesda because they feared Starfield would become a (timed) PlayStation exclusive. They just bought the entire publisher... And now Activision is next.

Having said that I'm not a fan of Sony buying Bungie to use their "live service" expertise either.

I'm just clutching my pre-covid, pre-shortage GTX 1080ti. Hoping it'll keep powering through a little longer. Honestly, it's an amazing card. If it ever dies on me or becomes too obsolete, I'll frame it and hang it on my wall.

I just wish AMD cards were better at ray tracing and "work" than Nvidia cards. Otherwise I'd have already splurged on an AMD if I could.
