Floss the teeth you want to keep.
Use Voice Notify to read notifications if you drive a lot or work with your hands a lot. Also useful if you have notification addiction, by restricting what it can read.
Change your car's oil often.
Sennheiser noise canceling over the ear headphones are comfortable enough to sleep in even if you're a side sleeper. Combine with brown noise for a good night sleep if you have snoring people or animals.
Hard disagree. If you accidentally cover the mic in the right way, you'll be greeted by a loud, high-pitch feedback noise that will violently wake you up.
HD450?
Yeah I've had that if I use a firm pillow. On a really soft one it rarely happens. Maybe once a month or less. Maybe I adapted my position somehow as well. Lying fully on it now while writing. Only affected the left side on mine.
I've had both H450 and HD458, had the same issue on both of them, though as you note only on one side. Apart from that and them repeating "connection lost" forever, they are great headphones.
To add to your first one, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BRUSH YOUR TONGUE, TOO. It makes a world’s difference and I’m actually astonished how many people I’ve interacted with that noticeably don’t do it.
Even better, get a proper tongue scraper like this one. Scrape all that stupid, nasty bullshit of your tongue first. THEN brush your teeth & tongue. THEN an alcohol-free mouthwash.
It's a lot easier to brush the bad bacteria & waste away if most of it has been physically removed before the brushing.
Spoilsport.
I know you're being funny, and I appreciate the joke. 🙂 But I am so serious...alcohol-free. Not only is it less 'sketchy', but it's better for you & will result in better breath.
Ever smelled a chronic alcoholic's breath, particularly after they haven't had a drink for a while? Rancid.
It's the same with the alcohol in the mouthwash; it kills all the bacteria & flora in your mouth. Good & bad. It wipes the entire landscape clean, and unfortunately, the bad/stinky bacteria tends to be more resilient than the good bacteria. It multiplies & becomes a persistent, dominant presence. Which doesn't help your breath, even with regular brushing & tongue scraping.
Yes this is definitely something to keep on top of but don’t feel the need to do it too too often ex. Once a month assuming you drive a normal amount. Check the manual in your glove box and stick the recommended service interval. It should list miles driven and a length of time. Change it at which ever of those come first.
Some on YouTube claim these specs are only to ensure your car makes it to the end of the warranty period, so a more frequent change might be better.
Yeah, I suspect that's probably true. The prescribed maintenance routine on my VW suddenly got very, very lax after 250,000 miles.
Data on flossing is actually quite limited. It's not harmful, but many people can maintain healthy teeth without regular flossing. Depending on your saliva production and tooth spacing, some may benefit more than others from this.
A lot of people change their car oil too often based on pre-synthetic era oil change recommendations and car shop and oil manufacturer recommendations.
