Hey yall so I think I just discovered I have another cavity. In the last 8 years, I (23M) have had like 4 different cavities and honestly I feel a bit embarrassed that at my age I’ve had 2 fillings (one that needed to be repaired) and two teeth removed because of cavities. I’m well aware of what can cause cavities (excessive gum chewing, candies, sugary drinks, lack of brushing teeth). I brush my teeth, I’ve significantly reduced my overall soda consumption in the past year, and try not to eat much candies. But I feel like I need a substitute for the gum chewing because I originally started chewing more because it helped with headaches and distracting me from overeating & I was not gonna rely on medication for the former. If anyone has recommendations (other than the obvious reduction in candies and sugary drinks) I would love to hear them. If anyone has recommendations for gum that would not be as bad I would also love to hear them.

any current of former CO’s here, which state would you say is better job wise? I’m talking regarding benefits, pay, good shift hours, equipment, etc. and also it could be either for state corrections or county corrections.

For any seasoned LEO’s who’ve experienced different agencies, which type of agency/jurisdiction did you enjoy working? Big city, rural towns, suburbs? I ask because of how much variety and pace each one has and everybody has their preference

The title speaks for itself. It has been a while since the last update but the other night I was able to show my parents two more Mayday episodes in addition to previously showing them two Disaster Breakdown episodes. Since some people said I should more of these types of posts, these were their thoughts:

1. Malaysia Airlines flight 17 (Disaster Breakdown) - This absolutely hit close to home. My mom is from Malaysia and I have a cousin who currently works for them and if anything it made us sad watching this now just as much, if not more, than when we first heard the news 12 years ago. Something we found so unbelievable was how the airway above Ukraine was allowed to operate freely. We also found it kinda ironic how the dude who shot down the place got jailed for insulting Putin BUT NOT shooting down a plane. No other words have to be said, this was honestly one of the saddest episodes we have seen for a variety of reasons.

2. Zagreb mid air collision (Disaster Breakdown) - This one was actually a bit unique because I had not seen the entire episode and neither had my parents though I was a bit familiar with the disaster. One thing we all had to point out was how overworked the controller was. Furthermore, the collision almost could have been prevented had one plane continued to climb. It was an awful tragedy that made us all hope we never have to go through

3. Turkish Airlines 981/American Airlines 96 (Mayday) - The DC-10 was a plane me and my dad would talk about all the time when I was a kid and as such we also talked about its history. What got us all pretty furious after watching the episode was how McDonnell Douglas KNEW about the design flaw in the door and did nothing until 346 more people died. In fact my mom said it best when she said "that is so reckless of them!" The animation, reenactment, and crash were all quite intense and at first my dad was caught by surprise when the decompression happened on American flight 96. We also found it a bit funny that a coffin is what was sucked out of the plane during the incident.

4. Aeroperu flight 603 (Mayday) - This was another incident my dad also knew about. Matter of fact, he remembered when this flight was talked about in the news in October 1996. He stated earlier today that when they first talked about it, they said it was an aircraft flying to Chile that had supposedly run out of fuel and crashed into the ocean. Furthermore, he actually FLEW on Aeroperu back when it was in service and he described it as clean, reliable, and by all standards pretty good. Several things stood out in this episode. The first was how the pilots were getting so many bizarre readings that really it had set them up for disaster before they even knew it. Second, my dad faulted Boeing with how they put the tubes at the bottom and did not put something next to it saying "don't cover or block" because if they did then disaster would not have happened. In other words, he did not know the true reality of what happened to the flight. One more thing that stood out was how the passengers practically knew nothing of what was going on. Overall, my parents reactions were a mix of sadness and a bit of anger at how preventable this was and how something so small brought down something so big

Well, there you have it. I hope you guys enjoy this next set of reactions from my parents and if you're in for it, I will make another post sometime soon (probably after World Cup season). Thank you guys for your suggestions!

Someone asked this in the AskLE subreddit so I figured I’d come and ask yall a similar question. I also added day of the week because I’ve heard from somewhere that more arrests are made on weekends (Friday or Saturdays)

Hi everyone, for those who don't remember my previous posts, I would show my parents episodes from Mayday and Disaster Breakdown of accidents/episodes in general I enjoyed watching. To my pleasant surprise, some of yall actually liked the posts I made which featured my parents reactions to these episodes and wanted me to keep making them. Since my last post, I have shown them MH17 and Zagreb mid air collision from Disaster Breakdown, which is only a couple because of World Cup season and school interrupting intended plans. I received a couple recommendations from the previous post I made on this regarding mayday specific episode recommendations. That being said, which of the following episodes do you guys think I should show next?

1. Mayday - Behind Closed Doors (American 96/ THY 981 DC10 crashes)
2. Mayday - KAL 007 shootdown
3. Mayday - Aeroperu 603
4. Mayday (technically) - Crash of the Century/ Tenerife (the original 1.5 hr long episode)
5. Black Box (show from the 90s) - Blaming the Pilot (features a few crashes eventually shown on Mayday including Tenerife and BEA 548)
6. Mayday - Pan Am 103
7. Seconds from Disaster - United 232
8. Mayday - Cutting Corners (Alaska 261 original episode)
9. Mayday - West Caribbean Airways flight 708
10. Mayday - Garuda flight 200
11. Mayday - JAL 123

I know these are a lot to choose from and again this is not something people usually post on here but these are the episodes I am completely undecided on and I really do appreciate some thoughts and feedback!

I'm sure you guys are sick of this question being asked but every time I see them on my feed, they bring up Charlie Kirk's death and either claim Erika did, Israel did it, or Tyler Robinson is not the killer, or even Jew hatred in general and the comment section is almost overwhelmingly supportive. In addition to thinking they are attention seeking grifters, I find such comments degrading (to put it lightly) and contradictory of the Christian belief of comforting the widow and the orphan (Psalm 146:9 and Psalm 68:5). Yes, there can be times I agree with stuff Tucker says but as of lately a lot of what he puts out is just blatant distortion of truth.

All that being said, am I the only one on the right who's also been feeling this way? Have any of you guys stopped listening or at least been feeling uncomfortable with some stuff they keep saying? I for a fact have stopped listening to what Candace says. And before anyone says it, no Israel did not pay me whatever to make this post as I'm just genuinely curious lol

I'm asking because there's always the joke and stereotype that admin (and IA really) are always out to get good cops and they always ruin everything (unless you're at one of those agencies were admin actually backs officers) and some of my friends who are cops don't deny it. But that being said, if you ever joined the admin ranks (above SGT), what would you do to make sure the dept runs smooth and morale is kept high inspite of what goes on in the outside world?

Specifically I am asking about anybody's experience with him as a lecture instructor

Hi yall

I'm currently a senior finishing up my undergrad in Florida. When it comes to Caribbean med schools I hear a lot of negative stereotypes about how its hard to get matched, it's very expensive, and it's like a "last resort option" for not getting into US med schools. But regarding match rates, wouldn't it be true that it would primarily depend on what specialty you want to do what could also factor into your chances of getting matched? Like for me, I want to do peds or family medicine. Wouldn't the match rate be a bit higher hypothetically if I attended a Caribbean med school and tried to get into a peds/FM program?

Btw I'm not one of those people who is pre disposed to being against Caribbean med schools as I have a brother who's an ER physician and who attended a Caribbean med school

Hi everyone,

In December me, my gf, and my parents are going to be in Singapore where we will board a cruise. We will arrive in Singapore either a day or two before we embark. I wanted to ask on behalf of my gf, where would be a good place to get nausea medication? Last time she tried to bring some on an overseas trip it ended up being taken at customs. Specifically, I am asking for medications which can last a few days. Any recommendations will be appreciated!

I'm not talking about court settings but like at events you go to with family or church or just AT that one event where a friend of yours is mutual friends with the last person you gave a ticket to?

i'm just genuinely curious lmao

I guess in continuation from the last post I made about showing my parents a bunch of plane crashes (first one was Saudia 163), my parents (my dad in particular) had some thoughts to share on what they saw and now know about each flight

1. British Airways flight 9 (speedbird 9 incident) from Mayday: obviously all of us were happy everybody survived this flight. Mom got a little jazzed up when she heard the flight took of from Malaysia since she is from there. Dad went straight to the point and said "if the pilots of saudia 163 were on this flight, the plane might as well have crashed into the ocean". They also found it intriguing what can happen if a plane flies through volcanic ash.

2. South African Airways flight 295 from Disaster Breakdown: this one my parents found quite scary. Dad agreed with me that flying in the 80s is much riskier than doing it today especially given how common in flight fires use to be. He also found it quite amazing the routes SAA used to fly because of Apartheid, especially their flight from Tel Aviv. He said in quote "imagine how expensive tickets like that would've cost".

3. Adam Air flight 574 from Disaster Breakdown: as soon as we finished the video, my dad told my mom "never book these low cost carriers again" haha. When we got to the part where they talked about how the pilots were not properly trained on certain systems, all of us found it shocking that an airlines would lower training standards like that. Furthermore, when they heard that up to 15 other airlines were blacklisted for cutting similar corners, it made my dad (and i) quite furious. In addition, my dad agreed it made sense why Indonesian airlines were banned from the EU for a period of time. And finally, the CVR was just genuinely disturbing especially toward the end and in the lead up to the pilots making errors.

4. Iran Air flight 655 from Mayday: both my parents found this to be horrifying and terrible to have happened. My mom said herself that Iran's anger toward us is now understandable (frankly I agree with her in context of this incident). My dad found it absolutely outrageous how a modern US naval ship mistook a passenger plane for an enemy fighter jet and how they were operating in Iranian territory and not neutral waters. Given the cirumstances and the outcome of this incident, I think this one was the saddest of the ones we have seen thus far.

Once again, I know none of yall asked for this type of post & I do apologize for its length but once again I'm an aviation fanatic like a lot of yall and I figured I'd share more of it with my family and this is really just their thoughts on all these incidents. And with that being said I figured I'd share all this info with you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed reading!
