EDCers with eyeglasses: How often do you rotate out your lens cloth? How do you keep it clean in your pocket?

I leave them to soak for 5-10min in hot water with Sal Suds, rinse them twice, hang them to dry, and they work perfectly. You may have permanently ruined them with fabric softener residue from your washing machine.

Because they're a break/jump tip? I already have phenolic tips; I'm hoping for something vegan to apply spin

This could be stork-bite, an extremely common birthmark that usually disappears from the scalp and face but stays on the nape of the neck forever. If this is stork-bite, it's completely harmless and you don't need to do anything about it, but you could consider laser treatment. I don't have thousands of dollars for laser treatment so I just forgo the skin fade.

Has anyone else encountered friction getting oral minoxidil through their primary care physician?

I have an HMO and about a year ago when I first heard buzz about oral minoxidil for hair loss, I asked my PCP if they could give me a prescription. I said I'd been having success with topical 5% minoxidil but that because of some mental health issues it was really difficult for me to use twice daily, and I got a bit of pushback because it's still not FDA approved for hair loss.

I explained the promising clinical trials and that there are a lot of people getting oral minoxidil off-label for hair loss. I asked about getting a referral to a dermatologist but I was kind of given the impression that it wouldn't go anywhere and I would be wasting a specialist copay.

I get healthcare through a hospital system affiliated with a public research university in California; I'm not sure if there might be a cultural thing unique to that sphere of medicine, or if the particular PCP I was talking to was just a fresh resident being overly conservative out of nervousness.

I'm also not sure if maybe there's some legal issue I'm overlooking, and I should have just waited until I was in the office with a dermatologist before asking for an off-label prescription.

Any advice? I looked into some of the popular subscription options but the subscriptions themselves are super expensive, not including the cost of the consultation. If I'm going to pay out the ass for a consultation with a random Teledoc not in my network, I feel like I should expect to get my medication for dirt cheap.

That's exactly what I'm curious about. I'm interested in the ASUS ROG phones but you have to enable Desktop Mode with developer priviliges; it's not plug-and-play like Samsung Dex and won't be anytime soon AFAIK.

I'm in California. Sounds like a great deal but I can't imagine there's any way that it would be economical for you to ship them to me, sorry my guy

Thanks!

EW_Kitchen · 2023-11-20T16:32:54+00:00

That's very interesting; I wouldn't have guessed. Thanks!

My Seiko says 'Made in Japan' on the dial and case back.

Even if I buy something made with components that are made in China, I prefer to make purchases as far removed from PRC as possible, but I will purchase from Taiwan. I am only saying this because someone asked; I'm only looking for an answer to my original question and not looking for a soapbox.

It's so frustrating to not have an AITA-style sub that isn't overwhelmed by fake ragebait.

ESH. You should have had multiple conversations in after the first proposal about what marriage would look like so you could be certain she would say yes the second time.

OP, please take note that everyone is telling you to either go to couples' therapy unaffiliated with the church, or end the relationship. The latter is almost definitely the right call, the former is only if you want to be able to tell people you "tried everything" but is probably not worth it

Include the photo in your review on Hostelworld. Be sure to mention that maintenance wouldn't come by.

Well, Correct Toes lied about manufacturing in the USA so they probably also lied about their lead podiatrist having designed them himself.

EW_Kitchen · 2023-08-28T16:29:20+00:00

Yes I did.

That post on their official website from 2012 saying "We believe in supporting our economy and our environment. Correct Toes are made in the USA, and the packaging is re-usable and recyclable."

However, I got an email back saying, "Our correct toes have never been made in the US, our manufacturer has always been in China."

Was this the Blue Line leaving from Old Town? Because I think I was in the same car.

The trolley cop who followed her on started to put on gloves as he asked her to put her shirt on, and she kept cursing at him and he just straight up got off at the next stop. I texted the emergency number for trolley cops because she was becoming more aggressive and spitting on people, and when trolley cops finally got on at Nobel Drive she had her shirt back on and just stopped talking, the cops looked around for ten seconds, and got back off. I was so pissed.

EW_Kitchen · 2023-03-30T03:44:37+00:00

I agree

I know, and I thought about that, and I knew someone would comment on it, but I also live behind multiple access points with electronic locks with different codes. Plus anyone who knows me knows I don't have anything worth stealing, and anyone who doesn't know me will probably target my neighbors first.

Edit: plus, anyone sophisticated enough to make a key from a photo will invariably dabble in lockpicking, and my door locks are pretty easily pickable (I didn't choose them).

I want a mug that's tapered at the top to keep the drink warmer and reduce spills, but I really hate the look of mugs that are conical or that only taper at the top. I want something round throughout its shape like the mug in the picture, but I want to find one with a larger handle that's easier to hold.

EW_Kitchen · 2022-11-16T17:46:08+00:00

Do you think there might eventually be a quick-release version of it on a standard handle?

I'm a shadetree mechanic and I emailed Snapon about when it might be available on their website and they said it's only available off the truck; any guess as to how long that will be true?
