From studies in developping countries such as India, and for concentrations (found in natural water) which were higher than the concentration applied and monitored for tap water in developped countries. Studies also did not test for other contaminants, which is an issue as water in developing countriesmay be of poor quality on that matter and is often poorly monitored. https://theconversation.com/is-fluoride-really-linked-to-lower-iq-as-a-recent-study-suggested-heres-why-you-shouldnt-worry-247093

But posts were not citing Merriam-Webster and Oxford English, if I remember well.

Have a look at the Wikipedia article.

The meaning from the slang dictionary was already posted by other posters. There was nothing to hide . Yet the article confirms from the beginning that: Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used primarily in the hospitality industry and sometimes in the military. In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s. Military personnel might use "86" informally to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon that soldiers, sailors, or airmen might pick up and use, influenced by broader civilian language. So we have Merriam-Webster and Oxford English showing a different meaning than the one touted by RW posters. That was my point.

More MAGA B.S., as usual. 🤣 Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used primarily in the hospitality industry and sometimes in the military. In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s. Military personnel might use "86" informally to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon that soldiers, sailors, or airmen might pick up and use, influenced by broader civilian language. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term as to "refuse to serve (a customer)", or to "get rid of" or "throw out" someone or something.[7] The Oxford English Dictionary says it may be used as a noun or verb.[1] As a noun, "In restaurants and bars, an expression indicating that the supply of an item is exhausted, or that a customer is not to be served; also, a customer to be refused service. Also transferred."[1] As a transitive verb derived from the noun, it means "to eject or debar (a person) from premises; to reject or abandon".[1] The OED gives examples of usage from 1933 to 1981;[1] for example, in The Candidate, a media adviser says to Robert Redford's character, "OK, now, for starters, we got to cut your hair and eighty-six the sideburns".[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)

Absolutely!. The death rate was higher among Trump voters than among Dem voters, after the vaccine was made available. Because more of them vacated the science based universe and believed the antivaxx nutters! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/05/1059828993/data-vaccine-misinformation-trump-counties-covid-death-rate https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/political-party-affiliation-linked-excess-covid-deaths

I advise you to send your methodological critics to Yale University!🤣

Exactly. As a result, the death rate was higher among Trump voters than among Dem voters, after the vaccine was made available. Because more of them believed the antivaxx nutters! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/05/1059828993/data-vaccine-misinformation-trump-counties-covid-death-rate https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/political-party-affiliation-linked-excess-covid-deaths

Ridiculous. It was a lie for the gullible by Jim Jordan. He edited Morell's testimony in a tweet (full transcript in the linked document). 🤣 Why is anyone listening to this liar! https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/Morell%20Transcript_Redacted.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjcu9uD_qSNAxXxTaQEHRgPLJIQFnoECCIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3q40e_WuRFU8d28vvwd-5E

Talking about sex mutilation. What about Trump's best friends? Female Genital Mutilation in Saudi Arabia: A Systematic Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8649978/

Not surprising. That's what they were already doing before Trump trashed the previous deal! 🤣

The quote is from Riclag, not Waltz! 🙂

In the MAGA alternate universe, he's a victim! 🤣

My source is an official investigation followed by a plea deal. Your source is a crap video!

You are making stuff up again, while at the same time deflecting. Several posters who are critical to Trump have expressed support for reducing drug prices and ending the current scam (me, for example). Provided, of course, it actually happens.

The current production increase was announced in June 2024 under Biden! Say thank you! Saudi Arabia to ramp up oil production capacity in the next 3 years - energy minister Nirmal Narayanan 06 June 2024 https://www.arabnews.com/node/2524906/business-economy

It confirms you have nothing! 🤣

And here's one reason (the other being OPEP) 🙂 https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product

From your link. 🤣 To be clear, the monthly job reports and the BED data do not measure exactly the same thing, and the BLS also publishes another dataset called the quarterly census of employment and wages. Each of these reports excludes certain categories of jobs or industries like railroads, government, self-employment, agriculture, etc.

This will certainly incite Iran to drop his nuclear program! 🙂 Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia raises the prospect of US nuclear cooperation with the kingdom https://apnews.com/article/civilian-nuclear-program-saudi-arabia-trump-iran-be8697a1890d0158cef57babb47e7583

I knew you had nothing! 😆

If Putin comes, Zelinski should be worried. Putin will not come to Istanbul if Trump doesn't come (and vice versa). Moreover, I would assume that both won't come just to face a failure. If they come, it is quite possible that they may agree before on an outcome (favouring Russia, of course), and then try to force it on Zelinski (as usual).

The art of the retreat! 😆

Thanks to decisions made last year by Saudi Arabia and OPEC to increase their production. Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil production is lower than it was at the end of 2024! 🙂

Make Bone Saws Great Again! 🤣
