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.

What I'm saying is, let's all do radical leftist (facial) revolutions together in solidarity!

In a similar situation. I can see it coming though, because it turns out I have a very unattractive neck line. So for now it's stache, clean cheeks, and neck beard. Not ideal but it kinda gives me a Muskateers vibe, which I think is cool.

I've always had at least a goatee, but I yearn for the stache only life.

Also want to cut my long hair for something shorter and easier to wear in the heat, but that notion has proven extremely unpopular with the people in my life, so it's been on hold for a while.

The biggest thing is it let's you use your phone instead of just the handset.

Totally agreed, that's all I'm getting at. I don't think they're gonna win, I just think they're gonna try real hard and leave a lot of people dead (and a small group of people very rich) like usual.

No not control it, certainly not. I get the feeling they might think they could though, and mobilize towards that goal. I don't necessarily think they'd win, but I just think they're prepared to launch head-long into it and it'll make a huge mess for everyone no matter how it really goes.

And yeah as soon as anyone hits the red button, the entire calculus changes (and also likely the planetary ecosystem along with it).

Yeah especially if this info about the US knowing about the attack and intentionally playing dumb as a distraction bears out, then it's possible they've already drawn their line in the sand and there's no going back now. But who knows, TACO amirite??
