aceospos, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

For those of us that live in the West African tropics, we just settle on how many bites we can tolerate per night lol. Some people apply agricultural pesticides (active ingredient Bifenthrin) down their waste water pipes once a month to ameliorate.

nekat_emanresu, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Oh, i had a problem like this very recently. The house has an air-vent that i assumed had a screen, but it was just flat out exposed. Because of the house design it just massively funneled the wind and mosquitos inside. I opened the vent cover and put some tissue paper over the inside so that it’d get fixed in place somewhat to “filter” the mosquitos and just instantly went from 5 per night to 1 over the next month.

3 times a day.

I brush after each meal, floss after lunch, and use a waterpik after dinner before brushing.

Probably excessive, but it’s less than 15 minutes a day total to keep my teeth happy.

Summzashi,

Thats absolutely bizarre to me. Do you travel at all? How does that work?

Yep, noticed that

Fantismal, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

How frequently do you change the dog’s water?

If all else fails, I hear mosquito nets are fairly efficient.

While I don’t agree with either extremes, I’m much more comfortable with hard left than hard right. Hard left isn’t actively established and trying to foment genocide in real time.

cwagner, in How often do you brush your teeth?

Once a day before going to bed, including interdental brushes.

My teeth are doing well, and probably relevant:

a) Keto, so next to no sugar/carbs in my diet
b) acidic drinks (coffee, tea, once a week quite some cola zero with some alcohol, half a bottle of wine once or twice a week), which makes brushing attack my teeth (I have light acid damage already)

What’s an interdental brush/brushing?

cwagner,

Essentially a brush for flossing, some find them easier to use than normal flossing, but there are also people like me who have super tight teeth and the floss can’t go through the top.

LwL, in What is the best peice of media you ever interacted with?

The Muv-Luv trilogy, or rather Muv-Luv Alternative in particular. I just went into hermit mode for the full 60 or so hours it took me to read/play all of it.

It still has its flaws of course but the worldbuilding and character interactions with such a dark and conpelling but not edgy story are something that nothing else has matched for me.

As someone who lives in a mosquito-ridden area, I’d usually spray the target room with mosquito repellant. However, this method is toxic so I’d usually stay outside the sprayed room for a while.

If you want to avoid toxic fumes I’d say blue light traps are pretty effective, though they won’t kill as many mosquitos as the repellant.

Have you tried garlic? It’s not as toxic but I supposed to help keeping them away

AfricanExpansionist, in How often do you brush your teeth?

There’s a recent podcast edition of Science Vs. about this very thing.

According to their interviewed experts and their research, brushing your teeth does nothing to prevent cavities UNLESS it’s fluoridated toothpaste.

Flossing also doesn’t really prevent cavities, but it is important for me gum health. They recommend regular flossing (more than once a week)

thegoodyinthehoody, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

I’m an Apollo refugee, just don’t want to support what’s inevitably becoming another Facebook type place. Wasn’t sure how well I was gonna be able to switch over until I found the wefwef web app, it’s such a game changer and I’m slowly getting used to how this works

Luci, in How often do you brush your teeth?

Every time I take out my Invisalign :( so 5-10 times a day.

hsl, in Why are there 2 seperate instances of a community with the same name and function?
@hsl@wayfarershaven.eu avatar

We’ve had multiple threads about this over the past few days. Removing this one under rule #4.

I’m surprised by how many people do that after every meal. Is it good for enamel?

EliasChao,

I’m shocked, because in my country every dentist would recommend you to do it 3 times a day, so hearing there are people out there only doing it as much as twice a day, with quite some people doing just once a day, it’s very shocking for me.

I gotta admit though that more often than not I don’t do it the afternoon because I either forget, or don’t have time to do it. But I do it religiously every morning after breakfast, and every night before I sleep.
