Genetic tendency. But is it destiny?

Osteoporosis.

Is it preventable w diet and exercise?

Yeah, probably.

Bones. Teeth. Same stuff?

A doctor might talk to you about diet to improve diseases. But I have never heard a dentist say anything other than don’t eat candy.

If I eat nothing but salads nuts tofu and apples in 2023, will my teeth really continue to decay? What else can we do for prevention in terms of taking care of teeth? Whose teeth would be better in one year: a guy who eats standard American dirt plus a few drinks a night, 4 dentist visits a year, or a guy who eats nuts and leaves, flosses no brushing, no dentistry?

Hmmm.

I went to 2 dentists.

One said I have 3 cavities.

One said I have no cavities

Is “taking care of your heart” eating clean or putting in a stent.

This isn’t a cheap thing. It’s an actual question. If we go zero sugar, is tooth decay halted? What actually causes tooth decay and are we just on a vicious cycle of eating wrong and saying, well, dentistry is how we live. We destroy our teeth and drill them, with shit getting way worse into old age.

That seems insane.

Alcohol is according to some holistic dentistry sites awful. We sit for hours bathing our teeth and gums with…sugar, swirling it in our mouths, letting it rest, perfect decay environment.

At this moment, I am committed to never ever putting another piece of bread, pasta, energy bar or any thing with sugar, other than fruit, which apparently might be ok in moderation. I think some nude sunbathing for high vit.bd levels may be essential too

Keto dentistry.

[quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]I think the income restriction on ev tax credit is going up next year. Must earn less than 300k. Sadly we will exceed that. Is that a reason to buy an electric car now in 2022?

Also I’m only 5’10 and weigh about 140, although my weight is plummeting due to a very restrictive holistic dentistry diet I adopted as part of a dental issue. I easily fit in a Miata.[/quote]

Well then you are my height and you will fit fine in a Miata or Fiat 124. But you already decided on a scooter. And I’m pretty confident you won’t buy a Miata. You just aren’t Miata material[/quote]

My retiring coworker bought a Miata right before quit to tool around. He took me for a ride. He was pretty stoked

[quote=sdrealtor]Because the decay goes into the roots and nerves causing unbearable pain and permanent loss of your teeth[/quote]

Query: Can decay be stopped without a filling?

[scaredyclassic]

Why get fillings?

[quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]I did spend a couple of years commuting a fairly long distance on a mint green vespa 150 in 2004. Even went out to indio once on the 10 freeway, one of the dumber things I’ve ever done. The wind was brutal, and I felt like I was getting blown off the road.

No accidents or near accidents, but very little freeway driving. 150 just the lower limit for freeways.

Ultimately, service was way too expensive on the vespa Also, tire life way too short, inconvenient. Not great for the high mileage I was doing

Was always ATGATT. Looked pretty wild fully geared up on my tiny scooter. That stuff, which I never scrimped on, was really costly too . Full padded leathers, aerostich, massive boots, kevlar gloves, premium full face helmet. , Dainese Spine protector. Spandex hip and knee pads. Separate ventilated summer stuff.

Lane splitting is however attractive.

I still have a non running Honda ruckus in my garage. But maybe I need this

Hard no on a heavier motorcycle. But I could see riding a nimble scooter again. Still have the motorcycle endorsement on my cdl. Guess I’ll have to buy this one again. Should’ve kept mine

Maybe used on ebay[/quote]

Ok, ok compromise.

No lane splitting. So, no. Now I’m liking the super cub

Not bad. It is making the Leaf seem free by comparison.

Dude, we’re all standing around waiting for Rich to crunch the latest Case-Schiller numbers. What else do you want to talk about? Elon? Kan(Ye)? Tons of other places to do that.

Sorry there’s history here. Scardey is a shit stirer of the oh-so-nervous-kind. I just realized that he’s either not going to buy a car, or he’ll just buy the wrong one (with say the wrong color of vegan leather) then endlessly snipe about it.

Minivan is still the safest option to be un-cool, un-happy and reasonably safe.

Harsh, yet fair.

Escondido is offering leafs at MSRP, can’t quite pull the trigger. The do have low 72 month financing. Still…I hesitate. Termite problem…costly

I got this sticker for my rear window. Maybe I can make others smile, if not me.

I was thinking maybe it’s just status. Why am I driving this beat up old Honda given who I am. Discussed with my son. He said look, you’ve been driving an old silver Honda your entire life, maybe that’s who you are. My old civic was silver, and so is the accord.

He has a point. How much of wanting a new car is about a car, and how much about wanting to be or be perceived as someone else. Or imagining life will be different.

So I replaced the wiper blades. One was really thrashed. I think I can make it through the winter with this car. In the spring, I will rethink things.

In Temecula, today, on the cheapest leaf, 30k, they want 8000 over sticker for add ons. Jeeeeez.

Mazda in Temecula is asking MSRP on everything

[scaredyclassic]

Just gas. But I’m ok with that

[scaredyclassic]

Also, SUVs are designed to crush and kill by going over cyclists, while cars have a chance of the pedestrian cyclist not getting crushed beneath. Maybe the mazda3. That seems like a reasonable vehicle I could just pay cash for and not feel like I spent a ton of money.
