I mean I agree, but golf's pretty hard even with fancy trimmed grass. I think playing through a loose natural thicket would very considerably change the game to a different thing altogether.

Golf is the obvious answer for reactionary, but it seems like it could easily be prole? Like, the courses are there, it wouldn't be that hard to provide rental clubs for everyone, set up a system for fair tee times for everyone.

The time investment would be the only real blocker, but in a real DotP, that would hopefully be easier to make available for anyone that wants it.

But also, you know, astroturf the whole place or something. The environmental impact doesn't go away with equal distribution, but it might at least be a little more reasonable if it was something that was for everyone to enjoy.

Is this the Cortex Command version?

...If not, can it be?

Of course, because a bold but incisive plan that looks to go against conventional logic is not what the board wants, and that's ultimately who this person works for.

Those broad abstractions are the easiest thing to get agreement around at a shareholder meeting. Anything more complicated requires and actual understanding of global economics and business; so obviously, you can't count on that.

C-suite makes a lot more money sticking around putting on a pony show that lines up with investor expectations than they would making an unconventional move that looks dangerous, let alone if it actually doesn't work out.

It sure does seem to be! Neato!

Some dude invented them years ago, basically a set of rings that you load a disposable piece of floss onto, making it way more comfortable but using way less plastic per use than floss picks.

I don't remember the exact details, but there was some kind of shenanigans where the big players in the existing dental products industry basically strong armed his suppliers out of working with him and he had to fold under a huge pile of debt or something.

If I recall it also had something to do with the regulations around the sanitary nature of floss, and how the stuff on the shelf now has basically none at all - it's just treated like regular string all the way through the production and distribution channels, and is never really kept particularly isolated from contaminants, but the ring refills were actually sanitary instead.

I'm still sad about the floss rings guy getting merc'd out of the industry. Those would've been a big game changer for a lot of people.

Another good tip with electric brushes is to stop moving them around so much - just slowly move it across your teeth and let the electric motion do the actual scrubbing work.

Seriously. The other one I see I lot is "like you are brushing the skin of a tomato".

Like the pressure I would be applying there is zero, because I am definitely not brushing any damn tomatos with my toothbrush.

We just need technology to advance a liiiiiitle but further so we can enable cartoon "reach through the phone and grab their shirt collar to give them a good thrashing about" technology.

Yes, even for the Ai bot callers.

Peak version of this was the Worm Light. Lightweight, flexible, indestructible, and completely necessary often even in daylight on the first gen GBA.
