I wonder if using mouthwash that kills "99%" bacteria make this product useless over time?

Also, does using mouthwash daily negate the need for this product?


Brushing, flossing, and mouthwash doesn't kill all of the bacteria in your mouth. Your entire mouth is coated with a biofilm... and after cleaning, your mouth gets recolonized by bacteria from between your teeth, beneath the gums, plaque, and other small crevices in your mouth.


In their application instructions they mention that rinses such as chlorhexidine might eliminate the new bacteria:

Probably, but the difference I see is that single application of this product is enough (as opposed to buying mouthwash and other stuff that's often discussed here like toothpaste with Novamin for the rest of your life).


I mean, weren't you going to buy mouthwash anyway...?


I'd hope not. I mean, what would be the point? Get your mouth colonized by this "harmless" bacteria and then kill it?


Fix my bad-smelling breath, which I am guessing this stuff doesn't fix.



Thanks - interesting talk


Just like that time my taxi driver was telling me about "investing" in Bitcoin


Thanks for the links. PCjs is amazing!


According to their Status page it's all resolved: https://status.flyio.net/


According to the Status page, there was never an issue to begin with


Sounds like a good idea.

I wonder how easy it would be to write your own App for it, as it is missing a few I can't live without (Signal and WhatsApp)


I gave up at "the current phase of the moon as an emoji." Looks like so of you guys tried harder than I did


I've had the on-screen keyboard on my phone set to Dvorak for > 5 years, and I just can't switch back to Qwerty. I think it's quite good for the phone.


Running a relay (non-exit node) has been a rewarding and educational experience.


It's not much, but if you want to contribute to the network easily you can host a Snowflake entry point, which allows users from heavily censored countries to access the Tor network.

It's as simple as installing an addon or leaving this page opened and turning it on: https://snowflake.torproject.org/embed.html

How so? Are you talking about just the technical parts of running a server, of interactions with law enforcement an other third parties (I would a non-exit node to avoid these, but who knows) or about some kind of data/metadata you are able to collect?


My bitwarden (not LastPass) iteration count was only 5000, even though their default is supposed to be 100,000
