Great razor! I’ll try and use mine tomorrow.

I’ve heard that DE blades used to be similarly expensive. Gillette is often given credit for the strategy of “sell something inexpensive that requires constant refills”, although I’ve seen that claim debunked (I don’t have any references, though). The blades were also made of carbon steel so you had to keep them from rusting, unlike today’s stainless steel blades. DE blade sharpeners exist because there used to be a market for keeping the blades sharp as long as possible.

That’s a really good point which I hadn’t considered.

Still, I’d call Israel her first political test. That was in the news for the past few days.

Sorry to hear that! I didn’t get that far in my research.

How is this her first political test? Has she not been VP for the past 3.5 years?

• Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
• Razor: MMOC Gen 2
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
• Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave

This shave clicked. I don’t know if it was the blade being on #5 (around this time is a normal sweet spot in my experience), or using a better soap, or a combination of the two, but this shave was pretty much effortless.

That’s neat. And pointy letters even moreso.

💯%

My instance doesn’t block it, but I blocked it with the recent feature added in 0.19.3 or 4, give or take. I think I got tired of seeing the angry people.

I think I have that instance blocked.

I’m sorry to hear that. She sounds like a great lady who was loved by her family.

Not on Lemmy, hence it’s what I’d like to change.

oh ok sorry

It’s a travesty, but after a cease fire is drafted and world news starts covering something else, we’re still stuck with whoever is president. I’ve never voted based on one single issue. There’s lots of stuff to consider.

The last time I checked it it was just over 6 grains per gallon. I adjusted the softener to put it in the 1-2 gpg range.

It tends to vary a little bit but my water feels soft, so it’s in a good spot.

Yes, there’s plenty of anger all over the world. Plenty of people who have been wronged. The type of stuff I’m referring to is more like “owning a house and having people pay you money so they can live there is criminal”, but in an “all caps” sort of tone. That sort of thing.

Feel free to talk about how rent is too high, we need legislation, etc. etc., but if you go straight to some sort of off-the-wall ideology and you’re very loud about it without discussing the nuances, my preference would be for the culture of Lemmy to not be that.

So much better than the other guy, though. Writing in a candidate will be fun for some people, but I’m choosing to vote for someone who 1) can win and 2) won’t strip away freedoms in the name of religion.

We all have problems.

Edit to add: yelling about them on the internet doesn’t do anything to solve them. Talking about it might.

I’d like to see fewer angry communists. Regular communists don’t bother me, but don’t be so aggressive about it.
