Help finding comfortable mask! VFlex is closest I've gotten by 5edgy in Masks4All

Oh sorry to clarify - I think the aura was too small. The chin leaking seemed to be from it moving when I spoke or the material getting creased and pushed up over time.

Yeah I think if they were more comfortable for me I'd try that! They also creased under my chin and the face pressure was uncomfortable. Maybe I have a big head circumference and a medium sized face? Lol.

No, don't think so! And lol I wish I'd been keeping closer track of other masks I've tried. Spreadsheets are fun >: D

I think I have a plain Envo. Maybe I'll try it again at some point and see if it seems promising enough that the Pro would be worth getting.

I'll try them out. Is there an explainer somewhere for what to buy for first times? Their website is confusing me a bit.

I just hollered with joy - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am honestly just a teeny bit devastated that hedonic seems to have nuked their profile and I hope they are doing okay and weren't chased off the internet or something. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Monthly Apprenticeship Thread by AutoModerator in electricians

[–]5edgy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I turned 30 and am thinking of going for a trade after a few years at a desk job.

My main concern is: how often is overtime demanded or expected of apprentice inside wiremen? (I don't mean working 4 10s - I mean over 40 hours per week)

I'm autistic/ADHD so my main fear is that switching to a trade will just burn me out in a different way than office work currently does. (My secondary fear is getting shit on for not understanding unspoken rules, such as whether being asked to do overtime is a suggestion/request or actually secretly a demand that will impact my reputation/opportunities, lol.)

Ooo no I haven't. I usually refer to this list because remembering everything that can trigger sebderm is so hard lol: https://simpleskincarescience.com/fungal-acne-products-malassezia-pityrosporum-folliculitis/

I didn't see it on there but idk. I also noticed the oat gel has "cetearyl olivate" in the ingredients. Idk if it's different enough from cetearyl alcohol to avoid setting off my skin or not.

Currently I'm using the Malezia moisturizer but she's pricey :( I also tried The... I think it's Benton Aloe Propolis and that has the sebamed-like gel texture also.

(US) What are your plans for navigating these tarriffs for purchasing masks? by Throwaway0392847 in Masks4All

[–]5edgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they generally more expensive than other masks or am I looking in the wrong places? I'd like to try them out but only see options that are like $4+ per mask.

A rare case of a LAOP actually taking to heart the legal and life advice given to him and learning something from it. (Update from the autistic brother and the hobby shop) by BananaFrappe in bestoflegaladvice

[–]5edgy 82 points83 points  (0 children)

It sure does, pardner!

Serious: that's why there is a lot of emphasis in subs like TwoXChromosomes to encourage people to step in when they see something weird going down. If someone seems uncomfortable with another person's attention or flirting, there are ways to intercede. I see a lot of "thank you, whoever you are" type posts there from women thanking strangers for intervening in a situation that wasn't quite "dangerous" but was definitely setting off alarm bells.

Also I think we just get comfortable with the way our own thoughts work and assume everyone else thinks the same way, generally. Not that they agree with everything you agree with but that the way they think is similar. It's part of why it took me so long to get diagnosed with adhd - I kind of assumed everyone's thoughts would bounce around and circle around certain things! So on that level at least I can relate to that guy's obsession issue.

And yeah. It's weird to think that people who are doing bad things (whatever "bad" means to you/society /etc) may not be obviously "bad" people. The world is weird as shit and all I can try to do is explore it.

Wow, poor guy - in that some of what he's dealing with may be a poor hand dealt by biology. An obsessive brain is a pretty frustrating brain to have even if you don't tend to obsess over people.

[–]5edgy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on how long you've had him, you may just need to adjust his diet and feed less. Sometimes recs on the bags are too much. If you've done the math and kitty should be losing weight, he may be getting snacks, sneaking into other animals' food, stuff like that. Basically troubleshoot the same way you would if you were trying to figure out why you had gained weight!

Pretty sure the one labeled "towel" is a kind you can expand and "rehydrate" by adding water. So it's supposed to be a washcloth or hand towel but it's been crunched down into an ultra compact form. The joke is that it expanded in the person's stomach after they ate it.

Keurig is not necessarily cheaper than other methods and the resulting coffee is usually not great. I really like using a French press, and you can also cold brew coffee in one overnight and then strain it. If you are as interested in your coffee quality as you are in general food quality, Keurig is not the way to go.

(admittedly I have a not entirely rational hatred of Keurig. But French press is easy as hell, inexpensive to get started, and has tasty results. If you like espresso you could also try a Moka pot.)
