I got one from a brand called Aquasonic a few years ago now and it’s still going strong. It was about $30 and came with I think 12 extra brushes? Anyway, a great alternative to the more expensive brands imo.

I thought all the people acting like the feds care about this site were joking.

Realizing Santa wasn’t real at 4 years old was the beginning of my radicalization. After that I believed nothing without looking it up first, which of course led me to communism. Idk how all these other contrarian fucks ended up libs

The Bentonville, Ark., chain founded by billionaire Sam Walton got its start 28 years ago by opening stores in rural towns like the 5,600-population Hearne. The 1,485-store, 32-state chain is the fastest growing retailer in the USA. K mart is its chief rival.

But it also has a reputation for hurting small-town businesses that can’t match the lower prices the chain can offer due to volume buying.

The Wal-Mart effect has been so huge it’s spawned the formation of consulting firms that specialize in advising small-town businesses on handling the arrival of a Wal-Mart.

1. Oh no China is taking some of our control over X
2. Do nothing for a while
3. Scramble to stop China from completely taking over X

5. Realize it was never going to work and give up
6. Do nothing for a while
7. Start at step 1 again

I work on an app that’s pretty complex and requires a lot of back and forth between devs, customers, and the people who do all the training/sales. I’ve had A LOT of success using numbered bullet points instead of writing normal sentences and paragraphs.

Something about the numbers makes them want to read it in order instead of skimming and it being broken down and labeled lets me respond with things like, “great, what about the 3rd bullet point?” Instead of having to repeat things. Plus most of my coworkers are in Texas so they love bullets.

And in some places they won’t allow you to have your phone out at all, so you can’t even look it up on the fly or keep a note on your phone. Even in states that require in person voting, sample ballots with explanations should be sent out weeks ahead
