They probably just have a regular teeth whitening appt with their dentist, or they use strips. I used to have an hour long commute into work, and I used to apply the strips just before I left the house, and remove them when I got to work. My dentist did warn me to be careful, as applying them right after brushing could damage my teeth...or maybe he just didn't like the competition LOL

That's a shame, I actually enjoyed the first season

I almost played Russian Roulette once, thankfully I was late to the game. The guys wanting to play didn't have a revolver, so they used a semi-automatic pistol. I really dodged a bullet with that one

Knife Monopoly

I mean...I'll try it, once

Thanks, I just sprayed coffee all over my desk 😂 😂 😂

Ah, thanks for that, thought I was missing the obvious, or maybe there was some previous story I didn't know about

Oh sure, when some guy in a lab coat does it they get the Nobel prize. I try to combine a bear and a pig, and all of a sudden someone wants to make a Federal case out of it

I must've missed that part. I thought it was only for captive hunting, which wouldn't make it any different than the other exotic animals kept on captive hunting farms

Had a similar issue with tlp recently. I just happened to notice the laptop battery was at 100%, and said it was charging. I double and triple checked the config file, but the tlp-stat -b still showed the thresholds at 90%-100%.

Turns out tlp, at some point, started ignoring /etc/tlp.conf, and was pointing to /etc/default/tlp

YtTags is another useful tool

I don't understand. What was his end game? Was he suffering from some mental distress? Did he want to get shot by the cops? Was this a prank to get clicks? So many questions

I had the same issues years before I bought my Canon 7D. AFAIK there isn't a pcpartpicker.com for photography gear, but I spent many hours reading the forum posts and reviews on DP Review.

The main takeaway I got from them was to spend on lenses as they will stay with you through multiple camera bodies.

Also if you go the Canon route, they used to (and maybe still do) have a program where you get a credit for trading in a Canon camera. It did not need to be working. I bought a dead canon from ebay (~$20), punched in the serial, and I think they gave me over $100 discount/credit towards a body

If you're going to buy used lenses, make sure you test them thoroughly, a used lens is like a used HDD, you have no idea what the last person did to it. Also, if buying online, make sure you look at the return policy, a lot of places will make you pay the shipping for returns. HTH

From the headline, prior to reading the article, my brain was expecting something similar to

Is this one of them there drive-thru gyms I've been hearing so much about?

Hands down the Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen

I wish more businesses would invest the $2 it takes to utilize these pens. It's basically going from: "Hey, Michelangelo, we've got this large block of marble, and a hammer. Make us a masterpiece!" to "Mr Buonarroti, here are all of the tools you'll need to write tiny text on tiny pieces of marble

Years ago my mother was going through an old box of photos we brought with us when we moved to a new country. These were all in weird size formats, I guess it was developed on whatever size paper that shop had on hand that day. There were pictures of my mother and father when they got married, various family events and family members. Then there were at least 3 black and white (maybe purplish or orangeish?) polaroid sized photos of my father and mother with 2 babies about the same age, then there was another of my father, my mother, myself and some kid - we were both dressed alike more or less (short sleeve button up shirts and shorts) and were standing in front of the front door to one of the apartments we rented, me and the other boy were standing in front of my parents and an uncle and aunt besides my mother and father. The last one I saw was of me and this boy, on what I remember was my first day of kindergarten. Right after the picture was taken I remember crying as some kids do when their parent leave them at the entrance to a new school. I mean I still can feel the tears on my face to this day...I guess I was a little dramatic

The weird thing is, I remember all of my childhood friends, I remember us doing stupid things, I remember falling out of a swing and whacking my head so hard on concrete I saw stars. I remember us getting in trouble for going swimming in a nearby river when we were like 6 or 7. I remember waking up, I remember getting ready for school, I remember breakfast, I remember going to sleep. I remember all of these things, but I don't remember this random kid from these photos. I've asked my mother about it once or twice, but she says she has no idea what I'm talking about. I've tried looking for the photos again, but I moved away a while ago and it's bugged me all of my adult life. Did I just maybe have a really vivid dream after watching some tv show? Did I space out while we were going through those photos. I tell myself he was probably just a cousin that spent time with us. it's just weird because I'm the only kid of that age group in the family, I was the first grand kid in both families there were no other kids my age in the family when I was growing up
