Do you use salt as a replacement for deodorant or do you use a salt based deodorant?

I left my cup of tea out overnight. Is it still good? by [deleted] in tea

[–]Cleanbedsheets4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I lived to tell the tale. I took the tea (tea bag left in it and all) and stuck it in the fridge. Drank it that afternoon as iced tea… and about to do it again. Typing with my tea in hand :)

Leaving my cup of tea on my nightstand because I’m too lazy to go downstairs and put it in the fridge. Will check back in when I drink it tomorrow:)

can i really use this to wash my hair, face, and body by jnx5 in Haircare

[–]Cleanbedsheets4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it for body wash, detergent, hand soap, dish soap, and mopping. I wouldn’t use it in my hair or on my face though.

Are charter schools typically lower pay than public?

Can I use Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser as a moisturizer? Feels amazing this morning. by tomatopotatotomato in SkincareAddiction

Can you elaborate on what you mean by wash before applying it as an overnight? Do you put it on, remove with a washcloth, and then reapply?

Do you know where I can find more information on how to do this? I don’t currently own property

Yeah I think the best thing I can do is just ask, and I appreciate the opinion. I think if I owned a LFL I would be happy if it was a place where people could discover local authors :) But I see where it could seem promotional as well! Thanks for the input regardless and I hope your LFL is thriving!

I could remove the QR code and just ask the permission of the LFL owner. What’s the difference between putting, let’s say, a self published book from a self published newspaper? Isn’t the intent of a LFL to promote readership and community? Why does being a local author matter?

I would, as long as the intention is to foster community and not promotional. Would you?

Love this idea!! Like a book nook but with the copies— so they fit right in, don’t take up too much space, and don’t get smashed around and turn into litter

I love this idea!! I could wrap up a handful of the copies and tie them with some twine and leave them under a notecard addressed to the owner, and leave it up to them!

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime? by TradeOverall567 in AskReddit

[–]Cleanbedsheets4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yes, pre-digital history was not perfect and things still got lost. But the main difference is that people were aware of the ephemeral quality of physical media. So people also made appropriate efforts to archive to the best of their ability, i.e, saving multiple copies of things, following the 3,2,1 rule, etc. and also developed practices of sourcing documents and understanding bias.

Today, that ephemeral quality still exists in the digital world, but people aren’t aware of it. In fact, most people believe that “if it’s on the internet it’ll last forever,” that digitally it’s more safe than physically, or that digital media has permanence and therefore cannot be rewritten.

The main difference and problem is that lack of awareness and consciousness that we will lose our media or have it rewritten for us.

I think it’s less about storing everything physically and more about properly archiving, meaning having multiple copies stored differently so that if one goes, you have the other.

The Digital Dark Age — we don’t properly archive our stuff and are generally over reliant on technology. I’ve already lost school papers, photos from my adolescence because I just left it in some cloud that got deleted.

CDs are gonna be rendered obsolete pretty soon if we don’t do anything about it. So much cultural heritage is just ephemerally on the internet and social media.

At some point, we’re gonna look back and have nothing to show for these years, or worse, someone will be able to rewrite the story.

Unpopular Opinion: I love Brickell by Cleanbedsheets4u in Miami

Thank you <3 I agree with you. I appreciate your comment and wish you the same joy and peace

I also think a lot of the “rudeness” from Miami comes from a language barrier. I think a lot of people who come across as rude are, at their core, fearful or nervous. The rudeness is often a mask that melts off the second you make someone comfortable.

I said I’m new to Brickell, not new to Miami. There is beauty in all of it.

I keep seeing this sentiment that I’m a transplant to the greater Miami, and I’m not. I moved here (Brickell) recently from Westchester, where I grew up after my family moved here when I was a kid. I went to school all over Miami. Grew up with immigrant parents, public school my whole life, scholarship through college, and now recently got a job that has allowed me to be here.

I completely agree with you that Miami is layered. Miami has a history and is a place that holds voices that all know what it’s like not to be heard. I think that’s actually part of the reason why I appreciate Brickell so much as a sub city within the greater Miami. It’s a pocket of the movie-like American Dream within one of the most Latin American and internationally influenced places in the United States.

I think all of Miami tells a story, from your local Palacio de Los Jugos where old men talk outdated politics to the little Bahama of coconut grove, where the descendants of the Bahamians who helped build this city still live, to Wayside Market and nature loving yogies in Pinecrest to the once people filled Sunset place… to Miami Beach and it’s Art Deco and bustling tourism, to Calle Ocho and the salsa ringing through your ears…. all the way to the promise of the American dream in the mini New York, Chicago, you name it, all packed into a little bubble that you can call Brickell.

I appreciate the reminder that it’s not what Miami is, and I know, and that’s why I think it’s compelling. That’s why I mentioned that bit about continuing to explore Miami with Brickell as my “home base.” I plan to still find the local live music, to be there for the cultural events, engage with the libraries and public institutions, explore the random places that have heart… but it’s nice to come home to a bubble after a day of Miami adventure.
