Tips I have learned over the years. In priority order.

  1. Buy a sonicare toothbrush. They are supposed to be better than even Oral B because of the sound waves they produce. May seem expensive but far cheaper than almost any dental procedure. Studies have shown that electric toothbrushes clean better than manual.
  2. Brush daily.
  3. If you cannot brush one day at least use a flouride mouthwash.
  4. Do not use water on your toothbrush. Something in water hinders the effectiveness of flouride.
  5. Do not rinse your mouth with water after brushing. Leave that toothpaste on your teeth.
  6. Buy a water pik and use it. They clean better than flossing.

Agreed.

I also would like to see AI applied to things like "the computer" when you play against "the computer".

Imagine a game where everything you see is AI generated based on whatever themes you give it.

I don't really trust AI for important tasks but I do want to see them used in video games. There already is some level of AI in many games but how much better can it be?

I just bought a microcenter brand 1 TB SSD for less than $50. Can a HDD compete with that on price and read/write speed?

Also recently bought a gaming PC that does not have a HD, only a 1 TB SSD.

I think HDDs day as boot drives is over. Unless they get a lot faster which I think is unlikely.

HDDs are certainly useful for larger amounts of storage, though. Self hosting, data centers, etc.

ETA: I don't think any of the responses read my entire comment. See the LAST SENTENCE in particular, friends.

I remember a 3D version of Tetris on an early IBM PC clone. Very early like 8088 or 286 PC. Don't remember the name and it was only wireframe and 1color (amber or greenscreen?) but I was very impressed with it. Seemed ahead of its time.

The appeal of games like this is so odd to me. They're moronic on one hand but viscerally addictive on the other. A very interesting psychological dynamic going on with this whole genre.
