What are some marketing tactics that you dislike ?
  • PSA whitening toothpastes are just normal toothpastes with added abrasives. So they temporary whiten your teeth because you've removed the outer most enamel which gives your teeth its hardness. At the mere cost of tooth sensitivity and future staining, the deeper dentine layer is much softer and porous which is easily damaged by acidic foods but also more easily stained due to the porosity. So congratulations your teeth are now more stained.

  • What are some marketing tactics that you dislike ?
  • This is good advice but also heavily dependent on the app developer. I've had the misfortune of using banking apps that only have a general notification option and they lump together important banking notifications with adverts. PITA scumbag bank

  • Queen's Gambit
  • She can't move in ANY direction. For all her power and all the fearsome stories about her, she is limited to only 2 dimensions... She hasn't even the concept of an UP. That is her greatest weakness.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month
  • Agreed that they have a pretty big military in terms of raw numbers. I'm not going to discuss quality because the biggest question mark here is force projection.

    How are they planning on sending over any significant manpower and supplies across 2800km?

    They don't even have a navy capable of circumnavigating the korean peninsula, much less make the trip to Ukraine or the wrong side of Russia.

    They have 2 transport aircraft, the bigger of the 2 has a max passenger capacity of 44 pax. Neither of those have the range to get near Ukraine when flying fully fueled, nevermind if it were fully loaded.

  • Mythbusters
  • That's fine and I think its pretty much the perfect example of a solid professional relationship (no need to be buddies or "like a family") and what greatness can be achieved when you work with same endgame in mind. They may have disagreed plenty but only because they wanted to achieve the best outcomes possible.

    While they are not friends, if you follow Adam on youtube, you'll realize there is a huge amount of mutual respect between the two, even to this day.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • All ice machines require monthly if not biweekly cleaning otherwise funky stuff starts growing in the water lines and the ice trays, and other hard to reach areas.

    As a former commercial HVAC guy, consider yourself lucky if a place cleans it out once a year.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • If you mean Jesus as described word for word in the bible? Yes you are right. Such a mythical figure never existed.

    A man name Jesus from the first century AD? Who preached in the Levant? Who was baptized by a man named John and was later crucified? There is good enough evidence of such a person existing. This isn't even a debated question among new testament scholars anymore.

    I see you are familiar with Bart Ehrman, Even he doesn't dispute that a historical Jesus existed.

    Here's an even deeper dive from Bart Ehrman.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • Physical proof? No. But if that's the criterion for proof that someone existed, then that mean 90% of historical figures can't be proven to have existed. We don't have the remains of Alexander the Great or any artefacts we can be sure are his. We have no remnants of Plato, none of his original writings remain.

    Did a person name Jesus live sometime during the first century AD? Scholars are fairly certain of that. We do have textual evidence other than the bible that points to his existence.

    It is highly unlikely that he was anything like the person written about in the bible. He was likely one of many radical apocalyptic prophets of the time.

    We don't have too many details about his life but because of something called the criterion of embarrassment we have good reason to believe he was baptized by a man named John the Baptist and was later crucified. (i.e. most burgeoning religions seeking legitimacy don't typically invent stories that are embarrassing to their deity)

  • For Many Greeks, Six-Day 48-Hour Work Week Now Set to Begin July 1st
  • They couldn't even track or enforce their previous 5 day work week when errant employers made their workers work beyond 5 days or mandated maximum hours, there is no chance in hell they will catch unpaid overtime.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
  • I was in Venice pre-covid. I spent a day walking around and soaking in the sights and sounds. Sat by myself for an hour listening to some guy play the chello. It was beautiful. Never got harassed by street peddlers or scammers unlike in Milan. The architecture was beautiful like nothing else. Its a city trapped in the Renaissance era.

  • what invisible thing could set off my smoke detector?
  • Spend a bit more on UL approved brands, those tend to be more resilient to dust.

    Photoelectric type is better for home use as your typical fires are smouldering, which photoelectrics are better at catching.

    Not my OC. Just wanted to bring attention to a little underated comic strip. Great artwork. Different tone and topic to what's commonly posted here. Enjoy.
