2025.01.21 00:50 Possible_Couple291 Gurlesque cruelty
Arielle Greenberg reviewed Chelsey Minnis's Zirconia and coined the "gurlesque" as "a feminine, feminist incorporating of the grotesque and cruel with the spangled and dreamy". I love what I've read of Minnis's poetry and I just got three of her books out from a library. What other gurlesque poets would you recommend? I like Ariana Reines but I am not that familiar with contemporary American poetry. Doesn't have to be American, though. I plan to read the anthology Gurlesque: The New Grrly, Grotesque, Burlesque Poetics soon.
He's not gurlesque but I really like Frederick Seidel, the ironic, louche, vulgar, cruel, decadent super-rich narcissistic persona with addictive wordplay. Who else would I like if I like Seidel? I want something that feels joyful and dark to read.

2025.01.21 00:50 HealthBringsWealth Life can’t be without sweets? But wait! Did you know that the ‘sweets’ we love so much may be the beginning of an illness we don’t want to encounter?
Hey there! Have you ever felt like life just isn’t sweet enough without desserts? But wait! Did you know that all this sweetness could lead you straight to a not-so-sweet condition—diabetes! 🩸💉
1. Symptoms of Diabetes Ever woken up at night feeling crazy thirsty? Or peeing so often your friends joke you're watering the crops? 🤔 These could be red flags for diabetes! Check yourself: sudden weight loss, slow-healing wounds, or that annoying tingling in your hands and feet. Yep, your body’s sending out warning signals!
2. Causes of Diabetes Think diabetes only comes from eating too many sweets? Think again! Sure, sugary snacks play a role, but the real culprits include genetics, obesity, lack of exercise, and, let’s face it, all that ‘just-one-more-bite’ snacking. 🍔🍟
3. Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes Diabetes is like a TV drama—it’s got two main storylines
- Type 1: The body stops making insulin completely, so our hero needs to rely on insulin shots for life.
- Type 2: The villain here? Unhealthy habits make the insulin we have stop working properly.
4. Complications from Diabetes Think diabetes is just ‘a little sugar problem’? Oh no! Ignoring it can lead to action-movie-level complications like heart attacks, kidney failure, blindness, or even losing a limb! So, what’s it going to be? A sweet life or… a really bitter ending? 😱
5. Managing Diabetes Here’s the good news! You can manage diabetes. Here’s how:
- Eat better—cut back on the sugar and fried food.
- Move your body—30 minutes of exercise a day can do wonders.
- Visit your doctor regularly for checkups. 🩺
Did you know? Some Japanese people eat rice three times a day and don’t get diabetes! Why? They pair it with loads of veggies! 🥗 Meanwhile, us? Sticky rice and mango, iced coffee, and bubble tea galore. 😂 6. 'I Don’t Want to Change!' Some might say, ‘But I don’t want to give up my favorite desserts!’ You don’t have to! Just choose smarter: swap cakes for fruits or go for low-sugar drinks instead of soda. You can still indulge but without the health risks!
Remember, good health isn’t something you can buy—it’s something you build. Start today and choose a sweeter, healthier life! ❤️

2025.01.21 00:50 56king56 Hot take: I’d rather have characters like Screwllum be released as a 4 star than not have 4 stars at all
I think in terms of accessibility and variety in the meta, one of the biggest yet lesser talked about issues with this game is the lack of 4 stars we’ve been getting recently, and I think part of why it isn’t that talked about—and maybe even why Hoyo hasn’t fixed it—is because no one wants their favorite character to be a 4 star. Understandable, but the problem is, every character is someone’s favorite, so no matter who is released as a 4 star, people will be mad.
Now, an obvious and ideal solution would be to release lesser known and newer characters in the story as 4 stars so that there isn’t a huge fan base surrounding them in the first place. But honestly, at this point, I’d even prefer for relatively hyped up characters to he 4 stars than to continue this streak of none. I love Screwllum, as well as the Annihilation Gang; but I am willing to make the sacrifice of them being 4 stars if it means we actually get 4 stars, because let’s face it, so long as a character is good story wise, they will have a fanbase, but having good characters shouldn’t be the reason we don’t have 4 stars. They did it with Gallagher and Misha despite their massive plot relevance, so I don’t understand the halt in 4 star releases.

2025.01.21 00:50 Melfin37 Lakewood M-32P or Martin GPCPA 4 Rosewood
Hey guys,
right now I have 2 nice options to buy a new guitar both are 2010+- build year and same price.
Martin has Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood back/sides, GA-Similar Body shape and 44.5mm nut. https://www.maurysmusic.com/martin_gpcpa4_rosewood_specs
Lakewood has German Spruce, Rosewood back/sides, Body shape between Auditorium and Grand auditorium (some specific Grand Concert by Lakewood) and 46mm nut. Stock electronic is not working, but it has a second hole with magnetic one (which I also like). https://www.lakewood-guitars.com/guitar_details.php?series=deluxe&model_id=m-32
Soundwise on YT I liked more Martin as versatile guitar for strumming and fingerstyle. Lakewood seems to be on crisp/bright side what would fit fingerstyle better, but worse for strumming. Also 46mm neck seems sweet to me, right now using 44.5, but would like to have a bit more as I also like to play classical stuff on steel strings :)
I would say that I need that to 60% fingerstyle 40% strumming, or even 70-30. However it's Youtube and you know that recording sound is not exactly equal to acoustic sound + who knows if there EQ or post-processing... Maybe some of you have a chance to try both guitars? Would be glad to hear your conclusions or some throughts just based on specs what would you choose. (Going to drive only to one of them).

2025.01.21 00:50 RogerLittlejohnREYI Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser (2025): Is It Still the Best? Review & Alternatives
Check out the latest arrivals now!
[Explore Top Rated waterpik aquarius water flosser on Amazon.]
Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser (2025): Is It Still the Best? Review & Alternatives The quest for a healthier, more radiant smile often leads us down the path of exploring innovative dental care solutions. The Waterpik Aquarius water flosser has consistently been a frontrunner in this realm, gaining recognition as a leading oral irrigator. But in 2025, with the continuous advancement in dental technology, is the Waterpik Aquarius still the champion, or are there superior alternatives now available? This comprehensive review delves deeply into the features, benefits, and considerations surrounding the Waterpik WP-660 model, while also exploring options for those seeking other paths to achieving optimal oral health.
Whether you're someone actively focusing on preventative dental care, dealing with gum issues, or looking for a more effective approach to cleaning braces, the facts provided here aims to empower you in making the best informed decision about your dental hygiene routine. This guide will cover crucial aspects ranging from the water flossing benefits, its use against traditional flossing, and even were you can find the best offers and discounts like a potential waterpik sale.
Understanding the Waterpik Aquarius: A Deep Dive The Waterpik Aquarius water flosser, or specifically the model Waterpik WP-660, is a countertop water flosser designed to remove plaque and debris from the teeth and gums using a pulsating stream of water. It's been lauded for its effectiveness in improving gum health,especially targeting areas that can be challenging to reach with a regular toothbrush or traditional flossing.The waterpik flosser harnesses the power of pressurized water to dislodge food particles and bacteria—key contributors to bad breath prevention and the growth of dental problems.
One of the notable advantages of the Aquarius is its ease of use. unlike string floss, which many find cumbersome and time-consuming, a dental water jet offers a quicker and often more comfortable experience, especially for those with sensitive gums or limited dexterity. Its large reservoir capacity typically provides over 90 seconds of flossing time, an often-cited positive compared to some cheaper models.
The design includes various specialized waterpik tips for specific needs. Thes include the classic jet tip, a plaque seeker tip for implants and crowns, an orthodontic tip for braces cleaning, and a periodontal tip for use in deeper gum pockets. Having this selection of waterpik accessories ensures that the water flosser can be tailored to individual needs,making it suitable for a wide range of users.
Benefits Beyond Basic Cleaning: Why choose a Waterpik Aquarius? The advantages of using the Waterpik Aquarius extend well beyond basic cleaning. Here's why it might be the right choice for you:
- Enhanced Plaque Removal: Clinical studies show the device is significantly more effective in plaque removal from treated areas when compared to regular flossing,often by up to 2 times [1,2]. This capability is vital in combating gingivitis and other gum problems.
- Improved Gum health: The pulsating action of the water massage the gums and promotes healthier tissue, which can actively reduce inflammation and bleeding— a key benefit for anyone struggling with gum issues. It is indeed frequently enough highlighted by dental professionals as beneficial for patients with periodontal disease.
- Orthodontic Care: For individuals undergoing orthodontic care, it can be complicated removing food remains from around brackets and wires using traditional methods.The specialized Waterpik orthodontic tip makes cleaning around brackets and wires much easier and more efficient.
- Bad Breath Prevention: By removing the bacteria and food deposits in hard-to-reach areas, the water flosser can significantly contribute to bad breath prevention and help foster a cleaner, healthier mouth. This benefit often leads to increased confidence and improved social interactions.
- Gentle and Comfortable: Those who struggle with traditional flossing due to sensitivity or dexterity issues will be pleased with the comfortable nature of the electric water flosser.There is less irritation during use in contrast to floss and many people find its use relaxing.
- Convenience and Efficiency: Instead of spending time carefully looping floss, spending a couple of minutes with this device will effectively clean teeth, which fits within those with busy lifestyles.
- Fill the Reservoir: Remove the reservoir from the base and fill it with lukewarm water. For added freshness, some users may add a small amount of mouthwash diluted with water.
- Attach the Tip: Choose the appropriate tip and securely attach it to the handle.
- Adjust the Pressure: Start with the lowest pressure setting and gradually increase it as you become more comfortable. It is indeed essential to find a pressure level that is effective, yet comfortable for your gums.
- Position Correctly: Lean over the sink to minimize any splashing. Begin by placing the tip inside your mouth at a 90-degree angle to your teeth.
- Floss Thoroughly: Move the tip along the gum line and between the teeth, pausing briefly at each area. Let the water flow out into the sink. Be sure to clean the front and back of each tooth.
- clean your Tongue (Optional): some tips allow you to gently clean your tongue with the water jet.
- Empty the Reservoir: Once you’re finished, drain any remaining water from the reservoir and rinse it.
- clean the Tip: Detach and rinse all tips,allowing them to air dry for hygiene purposes.
- cost: the Waterpik Aquarius is generally more expensive than traditional floss, although the long-term benefits and durability of the device may justify the initial investment. It may also be more cost-effective than continuously purchasing dental floss.
- Space: This being a countertop water flosser, it requires counter space near an electrical outlet. If space is limited, you may want to consider a cordless option.
- Requires Maintenance: The water flosser requires some care, such as emptying the reservoir after each use and periodically cleaning the base.### Comparing Water Flossers: Exploring Alternatives
- Cordless vs. Countertop Models: Cordless models offer portability and convenience, while countertop models generally provide more power and larger water reservoirs.
- Pressure Settings: Some models offer a wider range of pressure settings, allowing for greater customization, especially for individuals with sensitive gums. Be aware of all available pressure ranges before committing to a unit.
- Tip Options: A variety of specialised waterpik tips allow particular types of jobs to be performed more effectively. Not all models will offer the same level and variety of attachments.
- Price: Be prepared to encounter wide-ranging pricing based on features and brand. Consider your personal budget when selecting a device. An affordable water flosser might be perfectly suitable for your needs if you are looking for a basic option and you are not particularly bothered about some of the extras.
- Features: Some water flossers come with added features like timers, and travel cases. If portability and convenience are vital, you may want to invest more in a model with these features.
- Brand Reputation and Reviews: Waterpik is a well respected brand and often rates highly from customer reviews. However, it is always worth checking out independent customer reviews for any product before committing to a specific one.When considering alternatives, be sure to weigh out these options with your personalized needs in mind regarding ease of use, comfort, features, budget, and space concerns.
- Online Retailers: E-commerce platforms like Amazon and Target [3, 5] frequently enough have a good selection and may offer discounts and easy delivery options. Always check reviews before you commit to a product sold by a third-party.
- Brand Website: the Waterpik™ official store [1, 4] is a good place to buy directly, where promotions and warranties are more reliable than on third-party seller sites. There may also be promotions running on their site that may not be available elsewhere.
- Pharmacy and Retail Stores: Many retailers, drug stores and supermarkets sell dental products including water flossers.This allows you to examine the product in person and get a better idea of what you are purchasing.
- Dental Professional: You may find that your dental professional can arrange to sell you a water flosser from their clinic, or be able to give you referrals to trustworthy vendors.Be sure to keep an eye out for potential waterpik discounts particularly around holidays or during seasonal sales events such as Black Friday. Subscribing to newsletters from these vendors can allow you to recieve specific notification of waterpik sale events.
While other oral irrigator models and brands exist, the consistent positive reputation of the Waterpik brand, backed up by clinical research means it is indeed still among the frontrunners in the market. Whether it’s the "best" is subjective, depending on individual requirements and preferences. However, for those seeking a professional water flosser backed by extensive research, which focuses on oral health benefits and ease of use, it's very likely the Waterpik Aquarius remains an excellent option. Before making a decision, it is indeed worth researching and comparing various products in the market and considering which features most closely align to your specific needs and circumstances. The technology offers a valuable improvement in your dental care, so investing in a good electric water flosser will help you towards a healthier smile. for those on a budget, an affordable water flosser might be the right choice - and it can still be a useful addition to a daily oral hygiene routine. The most important thing, however, is that you are proactive about your oral health, and incorporate a suitable method of plaque removal that works for you.

2025.01.21 00:50 Redfox_192 Utility sink swap
 | Planning to replace my ancient utility sink with something new. It looks like the copper supply lines are installed directly into the faucet, so my plan was the cut the copper lines where they are horizontal and put on sharkbite adapters with shutoffs and then attach the flex hose from there to the new sink faucet. Anything I should be wary of besides the sharkbite durability? I included a drain/ptrap pic, but I think all I need to do there is loosen the slip nut and drop the new sink’s tailpiece in, or get a new slip nut if the sizing doesn’t match, worst case. I don’t have any pipe tools which is why I was thinking sharkbite. I also have flood sensors under the sink and there is a separate supply shutoff as well, it just also controls the laundry. submitted by Redfox_192 to askaplumber [link] [comments] |
