Any good alternatives? Sonicair toothbrushes are simply excellent. I only brush once a day because I'm lazy, and my hygienist compliments the lack of plaque and how good my gums are.

I disassembled my old one after it broke when I dropped it. I used the hammer method and was able to put it back together. Newer models are different, so no guarantee.

Oh wow. What a nightmare.

That makes sense... After learning about it from my wife's experience, I wouldn't want to go on that journey without a professional present. Shit can go very wrong.

Hyperbaric treatment is used for wound care. My wife had to do a bunch of it after a surgery, but only because things weren't healing well on their own.

Given the choice, she would have preferred to skip it. It's very annoying because you can't wear any moisturizer, chap stick... anything with oil. O2 reacts with oils and it's a fire hazard.

Would a billionaire live on a busy street like that? Maybe just a multimillionaire.

Look out for v2.0 which also features a sail on the front which you blow to go faster.

Probably not, but that doesn't make it not world news.

I do think this is world news. The US military is the largest in the world, like it or not. Reporters have kept leaders accountable in the past. Without accountability, the US military can more easily meddle with foreign countries and claim false results, changing the global geopolitical landscape using their lies.

This is a really great new feature. It's the little things!

It depends on if you have a carry on. It's stressful boarding with no more overhead bin space available. The airline will likely make you check your carry on bag if you board towards the end, which means waiting at baggage claim.

This may be a perk to some, but a lot of people don't like checking their luggage.

I always thought the photos of this place were edited to be more vibrant, but in person it's stunning. Photos do it justice, and I recommend stopping there if you're nearby.

That's another side effect of acetaminophen.

After seeing pictures of it and voting for it on multiple occasions on the contests held here, I got to see a Eurasian eagle-owl in person today. I was a little far away so the picture isn't that great, but I was very impressed.

I also got to see a Barn Owl, and it was beautiful!
