Maybe a meet in the middle solution (even if it’s a misguided emotionally driven recapturing of control movement) is something like:

« we’ll agree to remove fluoride from the water but in support/exchange we will ban the sale of bottled water in the same areas(or place a prohibitively high tax on their purchase). »

Since the sources of bottled water are often dubious and unregulated, it’s the best way to reduce the chance that fluoridated water finds its way into the community by bottle and reduces waste at the same time 🤷‍♀️

Use potential tax savings to subsidize fluoride treatment to families that are interested?

DeepL for translation. It’s not perfect but it feels so much better than those associated w/ search engines.

Heck-deck!

Canadians take our hedonism with a bit less BS. We’ll call when you’re sober.

Seems like it’s either deliberately negligent or sinister:

« The switches are equipped with safeguards, including a locking mechanism, to prevent accidental movement.

They are most often used to turn engines off once a plane has arrived at its airport gate and in certain emergency situations, such as an engine fire. The report does not indicate there was any emergency requiring an engine cutoff.

A US aviation safety expert, John Cox, told Reuters a pilot would not be able to accidentally move the fuel switches that feed the engines. “You can’t bump them and they move, »

« The switches flipped a second apart, the report said, roughly the time it would take to shift one and then the other, according to US aviation expert John Nance. He added that a pilot would normally never turn the switches off in flight, especially as the plane is starting to climb. »

I would have also accepted « side chick »

I would have accepted « Silence of the Lamps » too

And the banality of hanging-induced erections.

Is someone able to post the next panel w/ the lipstick?

But they don’t deny that they work.

It’s probably…

I have a (doubly) unhealthy love for the KFC plant based sandwich. That said, w/o mayo it may suck. Haven’t tried with ketchup or mustard yet but it may be boss too.

Also a vegetarian. I love the salt, the fried and the fast. I hate cooking enough that I’ll work and exercise more to outrun as many of the negative aspects as possible.
