"I was groggy and my cheeks were picked with gauze" could apply to either procedure, one with horrifying implications.

Legit no but apparently I'm the only one.

Thank you. I legit did not see that in my brain when I read the word.

Wtf is a nazitter

He has like 18000 children.

Plenty of awesome people are dick-free, and being dick-ful in no way suggests competence or any other positive trait.

Generally you'd drink the full one and fill the empty one, eh?

I don't understand what this is for.

If a dentist sees a patient tensing up when on analgesics, they'd have to be fucking stupid to not assume that patient is in pain.

I'm sorry this is just mind-blowing.

Well said, and thank you for taking the time to articulate something I was lazily taking for granted when I commented.

Can we stop doing videos as news and opinion please? They're an inefficient, annoying, and intrusive way to communicate this kind of information. If it doesn't need to be visual, it is in video format only for monetization reasons, which I'd think would be more concerning to this community.

This is very true and I didn't mean to suggest otherwise (hazard of text based comms like this), but I do think that our current "marketing" reality is overwhelmingly the gross creepy one, not the useful one. And I think the system incentivises that kind of behaviour, so we'll always trend toward that.

Honestly I don't know, but worth adding to your list to look into I imagine. I know they have children's products, but I haven't had occasion to poke into that myself. You're still giving someone your (and your kid's) data, but if what you're looking for is an alternative to the Bluetooth tracking and mesh, and to Apple/Google, then solid GPS in comsumer devices seems like a good alternative product category to investigate.

Do let us know which way you go with this. It's annoying that you can't track your kid privately, I'd just never really thought about it before. Interested to see where you land!

It's rarely humble, and rarely their opinion

PQNLD, two dopamine hits for the price of one!

I mean... Yes.

I understand that if you have cool stuff you want to sell it to people, but on balance marketers and marketing companies are overwhelmingly trash selling us trash, compromising our privacy and autonomy, and exploiting "influencers" and customers instead of benevolent and useful to society.

Unfortunately most of the cheap trackers (airtags, tiles, etc) rely on networks of Bluetooth sniffing users, so less ubiquitous varieties will necessarily be less effective.

Even as privacy enthusiasts, my family and I have opted for Garmin products. Reliability in backwoods and off road situations is more important than privacy, and that calculation may apply to you even in urban settings given its a child you're talking about. It's a drag that you have to choose, but so it goes.

If they'll pay us when they scrape our content, sure.

No wine pairing or side dish recommendations? Low effort comment smh

Fools have served a vital societal function for centuries. The job requires incisive thinking and wit; he's not qualified. Plz don't be besmirchin'
