If someone is planning to learn a computer programming language, which language would you recommend to that person, which would help the most in pen-testing?

Thanks! Python 2 or 3?

(I guess both, probably...?)

Daniel?! Daniel Jackson? That you?

Please be sure to say hello to Teal'c for me! Tell him that /u/allthatjazz says: "Indeed!"

But yes, joking aside, I have to say that is quite the awesome application of your mathematical abilities.

I'm just clicking on your links now, and will start reading that article about how you were involved in the recovery of ancient text on the coffin lid.

The recovery of any text, data, or information from our ancestors, is one of the most noble (and awesome!) careers you could pursue.

(And who knows: perhaps you could always stumble upon the gate-address to Alpha Centauri!)

Interestingly, I've actually begun reading the book, "Writings from Ancient Egypt" by Toby Wilkinson, and I'm surprised by how much of the ancient Egyptian experience is so similar to many of our modern day experiences.

For example, the first text in that book is the summary of the life of a trader named "Harkhuf", and it reads almost precisely like a modern day job application CV/resume (with a few poetic flourishes added in).

In that ancient Egyptian text Harkhuf mentions his achievements and how he solved problems along the way, almost in the same tone we often discuss our past work experience, on a CV/resume.

So yes, Cerys, any extra data or information you can retrieve about our ancient past and ancestors who came before us is really HIGHLY precious and valuable.

This is great and important work you are doing.

Not to mention that it seems like fun and amazing work!

The fact that your teeth have not been harmed might have something to do with the brushing (flouride).

Flouride bonds with your teeth chemically, and creates a new significantly stronger matrix, that with-stands acid from bacteria, so perhaps it is giving you added protection from stomach acid erosion as well.

This means that flouride is actually a form of nanotechnology, since it solves the problem and operates at the molecular scale, and transforms the make up of your teeth molecularly!

---

You may want to consider asking your pharmacist for the special highly concentrated flouride they now sell, and also rinse once per day with that.

I forget the name of the company that makes it, but it's a pump that comes in a slender white box. They usually have it in the mouth wash section of some pharmacies, or sometimes behind the counter (so you might have to ask the pharmacist... and maybe try a few pharmacies.)

That ultra high dosage flouride comes in a pump. You press it into a cap (it's a gel), add water, put the lid on the cap, shake it vigorously, and then swish it in your mouth, and try to swish it against all your teeth surfaces.

I do it while I'm in the shower so I can keep swishing it slightly longer.

---

Some people feel flouride may have adverse effects, but I personally haven't seen any studies that were able to measure that significantly.

Some of the flouride in drinking water ends up binding in small amounts to bones. (Bone composition / bone matrix has some similarities to teeth in some ways.)

But from what I've read the effect is very slight and small and does not cause health effects... but ultimately who knows.

However the good thing about the flouride-rinse is that you spit most of it out afterwards anyways, so your not swallowing it the way you would when it's in the drinking supply.

---

Finally not sure if this will work, but maybe after vomiting try rinsing with a regular cheap mouth wash first, before brushing.

That might mean less vigorous brushing is needed afterwards, and then after that you can rinse one more time with mouth wash.

(In addition to the highly concentrated flouride mouth wash I mentioned above, I also use a cheap mouthwash day to day: Crest alcohol free, with flouride. I used to use Oral-B alcohol free, which was much better, with twice the flouride, but those jerks discontinued the product!)

EDIT: fixed a paragraph that I changed the order of above, and accidentally copied it twice.

"supplements are very expensive"...

So does that perhaps mean that someone with PKU, in a country which does not have good medicare, and does not subsidize the supplements... would essentially die?
