The way I'm used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth.

Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn't make sense for me.

This website is wack:

"We detect that you are in one of the member countries of the UK/EU/EEA, which is now subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Unfortunately, a tracking-free version of our full website is currently unavailable in these countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to this market

While we continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will allow all readers to experience our content, we are providing you with 10 articles that highlight the breadth and quality of our content. You are on this page because you disallowed the purposes listed in the “How we use your data” section of our Privacy Settings page."

I wasn't expecting the website to outright refuse me from accessing it after refusing to be tracked, and with such bullshit lingo too

Not sure about this particular site, but in my experience with sites that don’t have full time web developers on staff and only get a small percentage of their traffic from the UK/EU/EEA, complying is simply cost prohibitive since it will require a significant development budget without much payback, so by law, they are forced to block access to their site in affected countries.

How does it take too much work to just not spy on people? Or at least not spy on people in the EU, which the site already can detect so it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, it would probably be less work than making the site not work for such people.

I think you missed on the most important driving factor, money.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I mean the thing is they already built the site. If they were building the site from scratch today then you would be correct.

You're not wrong. I'm on my phone but if you can, please provide another source. Tbh I've just got the cookie modal blocked with ublock and the cookies autodelete

I talked to my dentist about this, actually.

His conclusion was: preferably brush after breakfast, yes it's ideal to wait For 30-60 mins but that rarely happens so just do it when you can after it's not that big a deal

I'm summarizing, of course. But that was the gist of it

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My dentist says that if that 30 min isn't there, it's better to do it before. Probably it comes down to any tooth brushing is better than none

I find minty toothpaste makes it a lot more difficult to eat afterwards. My grandad used to work in Egypt and he'd bring the orange toothpaste home and it was much easier to wake up, brush then eat using that stuff.

The article doesn’t back up your statement.

What it does say is that:

  • brushing teeth regularly is important
  • brushing teeth when enamel is weakened by acidity is destructive
  • breakfasts foods tend to be acidic (well, acidity raises after a meal in general)

And with this it reaches the conclusion that brushing your teeth before breakfast is safer than brushing right afterwards, and is more likely to become a routine than if you wait 30-60 minutes after your first meal. It even ends up with:

Brushing in the morning, whenever you’re able to do it, is still better than skipping brushing your teeth at all.

And if you’re from a country where visiting a dentist is affordable, you have probably heard an additional advice - visit a dentist for a checkup and a professional cleaning at least twice a year.

This is what my point is. What are you arguing?
