Hopeful sufferer of terrible teeth here: I thought I read something a couple years ago about a possible treatments for cavities with stem cells and ultrasonic or electrical stimulation to encourage regrowth.

I have also heard that Vietnam is good for this. I have a mixed experience with this. My wife is a Vietnamese-American immigrant, and while we were there for a visit (my first time there), I had a tooth crack on a seed of a berry in some jam. This happened in a small village near where she was born and it was going to…

How is Among Us not on this list?

When does the tranq gun become an option?

I use a sculpt, the shape is nearly perfect.

This dish, a sous vide & deep fried pork belly, is the most delicious thing I have made with the sous vide.

If you cook it at the right temp, it will be safe to eat. Don’t obsess too much about the color. If you are aiming for a certain color or amount of char on the skin then hit with a post-sous-vide sear.

They are biased against families. I contacted them earlier this week asking if they accept families (my wife and I both work remotely and our kids go to school remotely). Crickets...

The fees on index funds are lower mainly because there isn’t a huge management fee for the person who picks the stocks. They still make a ton of money on the management of the assets, for example that they are able to lend shares out to short sellers. They also have influence over how to vote on shareholder issues,…

Are there any black owned life insurance companies (not just agency), discount brokerages (like Schwab, Fidelity, robinhood, or e-trade), or ETF companies (like vanguard, iShares, or blackrock)?

In 2020, probably around March... I made a very deliberate choice to cut out a lot of toxic and depressing news/social media/memes and replace it with literature, audio books, and cinema. It has been very helpful to my mental health and coping with this year. I only watch CNBC and read the local newspaper website in…

I let the kids find out that Santa isn’t real organically through the kid grapevine at there school, but even when Santa existed in our house we followed a similar policy of Santa only filling stockings and giving a few small gifts under the tree.

I would agree that the experience of college, the determination to finish, and the degree to prove you have gone through it are not “worthless” however they are often “worth less” than someone had to borrow to get them.

BLS has wage data that is broken down by metro area and job title. If you download the XLS you can get more detailed stats like 10 percentile, 25 percentile, median, 75 percentile, and 90 percentile.

You just broke your own rule by writing a post about it.

For the FI/RE people with a secure remote job and no strings keeping them living where they are, it might be a lucrative side hustle to take advantage of these “move here for at least a year” opportunities. 10K/ yr in a low cost low tax locale is pretty good. The AR offer is essentially rebating your first year’s…

I’m not sure about the circumstances of Coolidge or older ones, but I think that LBJ and 1968 should serve as a cautionary tale. IIRC the history there correctly he declined the nomination at the last minute, it broke the democrat party into factions, one of those faction leaders (Robert Kennedy) was assassinated and…

That would be unprecedented and would essentially make him a lame duck as soon as the first democrat announced they intend to seek the nomination sometime in 2023. The administration would be taking fire from the left and the right, if Harris is going to be a contender she would be restricted to walking a tight rope…

I definitely have some serious doubts about the democrats being committed to getting money out of politics, especially after this election cycle.  And it is scary to think if this is as good as they can do when spending 2:1 or 3:1 against republicans with someone as toxic as trump on the ticket, what will happen in…

I have been an avid Opera user since the 1990s, they have always produced one of the best and most innovative browsers. Still use it, I love the gestures, built in ad and tracker blocking and the little additions that they make like workspaces.
