Studies have shown significant improvements in dental health from adding flouride to water. As an example getting kids to brush their teeth regularly is difficult, but we can provide a layer of protection and avoid expensive dental costs whenever they drink water.

I'm always climbing in and out of trucks and heavy equipment and could never find reliable pants that realiably prevented plumbers crack without hiking them up all the time. Overalls are the shit. Comfortable and practical.

They have no frame of reference whatsoever.

What a disgusting turn of events. I can't imagine allowing a loser like this to tarnish my athletic achievement. You just won the game of your life in front of everyone you have ever loved. The locker room should have been locked down so they could celebrate with people that actually made it happen. One of them put their medal around his neck. 🤮

I was tearing up when the brought out Johnny Gaudreau's kids to take a picture with the team. It made me think about how wonderful sports and the Olympics can be, rallying family and friends together after tragedy. The catharsis of that win and everyone acknowledging that Johnny should have been there was shattered by this loser trying to experience athletic success.

He acts like a kid who lied about a terminal diagnosis in order to weasel his way into a locker room with the cool and talented people. He's pathetic.

Live music performances often fill that void for me. It doesn't have to be a fancy orchestra or expensive venue, my town hosts free live music once a week. The music is nice because it gives you the opportunity to zone out and be introspective while surrounded by others. There is also usually a social scene before and after the set.

He has a lot of videos focused on home appliances. Some that come to mind are toasters, dishwashers, heat pumps, and an entire series on Christmas lights. Breaks everything down with lots of tips for better home use (because no one reads the manuals on thise things).

How many kids had to die in school shootings in order to protect these 2A rights? But a holstered weapon is suddenly a threat to 6 men armed to the teeth and wearing body armor.

I just keep watching these videos and thinking about how insane it is that a life was taken so quickly. I know that is the nature of the world, and things can change in an instant. But it seems so surreal to watch.

Renee Good was smiling at a man and deescalating a situation, that was the last thing she knew before a bullet. Now Alex Pretti was defending a woman from being shoved to the ground and before that woman could even steady herself again he was beaten and killed.

Fuck, it's so pathetic that these losers have that kind of power over life. Trump, Noem, and Bovino (and every other rat bastard in the administration) have given the unhinged bullies a license to kill. I look forward to the day that these assholes hang for their crimes. Tell the people you care about that you love them.

Aside from the horrible implications of this letter. Can we address his writing style? For a man who was educated at the insitutions he attended, he sure doesn't show it. I know we are accustomed to reading his tweets, but Jesus Christ this is embarassing.

It appears he is just dictating letters to heads of state and not even having anyone give it a once over before slapping it on the white house letterhead and sending it.

These are the meandering thoughts of a lunatic.

 

I am new to the community and do not want to adversely affect any existing users in my area. I live on a mountain ridge with clear sight lines over a valley that houses a large town and am looking into installing a repeater on top of my house.

I do not have a location on the top of the mountain (which would give me sight lines on both sides of the ridge). I live in a remote area and while looking on a map of meshtastic devices can see 3 active nodes spread out in the valley I overlook, with no nodes on the other side of the mountain for 50+ miles.

Should I just stick with a client node? Should I find a more advantageous location to place a repeater? Is it useless because there is so little meshtastic activity in my area?

I thought I was going insane. I have been losing files frequently, but have a detailed file tree and I'm diligent about naming and saving versions.

Not enough of them were punished. And so, history will repeat itself.

 
 

Macy's announced to employees it is closing its Philadelphia store in Center City, which has been open since 2006. The location is expected to close sometime in March, one of 65 Macy's locations that will be closing as part of a cost-savings initiative. The planned closure leaves the future of the historically important Wanamaker organ and beloved traditions like the holiday light show and Dickens Village in doubt. The interior of the Wanamaker Building holds rare protections from the Philadelphia Historical Commission.
