We breaking up.

Don’t forget how lonely people are now. There’s an initial ‘weird guy’ thing one has to get over when talking with someone unexpectedly here in the US.

“Hey, I like the style of that jacket, can I ask where you got it?” People are morose about how alone they feel, but struggle to escape the “rugged individualism” programming of this country, to where they default to feeling safer by shrinking back for a second, before realizing they can, and do, have space to honestly interact with someone else who doesn’t actually want something from them. Well, other than pleasant acknowledgement of our short existence at the same place and time.

Makes it all the more difficult to fix, the fact that these seemingly different issues overlap to cause the same outcomes.

I hate that talk is cheap, but truly, how do we fix this? Thank goodness for meetup, and for resilient cities like NYC. Small town America? Good fuckin’ luck.

Batteries. And M20 nuts.

I can only remember that my feathered friends are surviving along with me, we care for each other, and I hope freeing them of hunger, disease and predation is a worthy exchange.

Eeesh… But those last drops are kinda strongly bitter, I’ve noticed.

It’s so much wasted plastic though. I 3D printed a handle and with a little sandpaper to smooth the handle out, it’s super easy to floss. Using this one currently: www.printables.com/model/…/comments

I actually modified it in solidworks to have a nice curve, and open at the tips vs trying to thread the floss everytime.

Bacteria? You’re brushing your teeth with a reused toothbrush. Besides, that’s what immune systems are for.

I used petg, better for the engineering stuff that I do.

There’s always a tradeoff: security or convenience, environmental destruction or convenience, healthy life or convenience…

I don’t mind at least trying to do something right. But I don’t know other people’s lives so most I’ll do is ask them to consider or try something new.

Faaacts, I have one at work and a personal one. Can one buy tools accidentally? I needed to get a bike head-nut off, all it had were two parallel indents on the perimeter.

Saw this for $50 at Sears, been in love with them ever since. W/o question one of my favorite and most useful tools. Sheesh I sound like such a shill haha

I understand your point, and still disagree.

If I could injection mold it out of polycarbonate, I would. I’d still rather use this than mindlessly buy 150 plastic prongs, only 5% of each disposed piece being actual floss.

Glad you like it. Maybe snap the ends off as threading the floss through the holes is a pita haha.

Caveat emptor. We are all masters of our own destinies.

Lmao. Some of us take rules as suggestions (which good people still try to abide by). And, some of us are very rigid.
