Gregory's ServerDentist: So, do you floss?
Me: Do you use a unique password for every account?
  @catsalad LOL. I literally want scolded 2 days ago. My automatic toothbrush of yore has stopped working so she convinced me also to switch to an automatic toothbrush again. I went to Amazon and bought the first one I saw on sale. Turns out it was IOT, connects to my phone and I had to create an unique password for it. The app reminds you of flossing every day. I am not so sure how to think having my flossing data on the cloud. FTW. @aspuru Just wait until Big Dental buys that data and uses it to deny a claim. @aspuru @catsalad Sometimes I use floss, but to be honest if I'm on Linux I'm just going to use strings.   @mxk @catsalad the thing I connected to: https://www.icare-world.com/us/product/icare-drs/ @catsalad if I could automatically floss every time I went to brush Iโd floss a lot more :D   @catsalad oh loook at Big Password here telling everyone how to act, I'm using 1234 on every last account and you can't stop me, freedom!  @catsalad Getting a water-flosser is analogous to using a password manager @catsalad Cute, but I do use a password manager. I have no idea what my passwords are, and I like it that way. @dankennedy_nu @catsalad same. Me email PW is 64 bits ๐ @dankennedy_nu Yeah, it's actually pretty easy if you use a password manager. I should be flossing more though...  @catsalad You can tell a lot about a person based on which one of these they think is drastically more important. I use a variation of the same password for like, every account that doesnโt work with Safari's strong password generation, doing the bare minimum to get it to meet its requirements ๐  @catsalad @catsalad My luck the dentist will say, "Son, I use a military grade VPN and a password manager for all of my devices. Now do you floss?" @catsalad Wasn't there a study recently (like, within the last year, if my memory serves) that proved flossing had next to no beneficial effects? @hxresistance @catsalad having a less painful dental cleaning seems like a pretty beneficial effect IMO @SecularOutpost @catsalad Never been a regular flosser, nor can I say I've ever had a particularly painful dental cleaning.  @catsalad the evidence for flossing benefits isnโt compelling. Ask your dentist for peer reviewed research and see what they say. I donโt EVER floss. but thatโs mainly because the only teeth I have are stored in a container on the bathroom sink. I DO, however, have a โformulaโ I use which allows me to make strong passwords (that I can actually remember) for most every site I visit. I say โmost everyโ because some stupid sites have password rules that limit what I can use. I hate those sites and will often make the call that I donโt need to visit them after all. @howlinhobbit @catsalad Ugh!! Why do some sites limit what passwords you can use? It's almost like "no, you can only use one of these passwords, don't be a hero"  @jivo @catsalad Ask him for scientific evidence next year. @catsalad  @catsalad Honestly I'm starting to wonder if /anyone ever/ flosses. @catsalad unique email/password for every service and email forwarder to hide email provider.  @catsalad Horror dental story: If you don't floss or get your teeth cleansed regularly, the plaque makes your jaw bone grow thinner, and the risk of losing teeth increases with age. It's not reversible ๐จ @catsalad I started flossing when I realized itโd make my teeth less sensitive to cold because my gums would come back @PanickedFoodie Dentist: So, do you floss? l33t h4xor, suffering from excruciating pain and paying big bucks to see a dentist: What about your website, eh? Is it protected from stack buffer overflow attacks?  @catsalad funny, but they already know if you floss once the exam is over. Definitely a rhetorical education, shaming device thoโ. @RachelA |
