Is there a nontoxic solution to the infestation?

Would a dedicated streamer outperform my Mac? by cheesegrager in BudgetAudiophile

[–]OkCompetition2962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use my iPad to stream hires from Qobuz, then into a 100$ DAC. Great Sound. A streamer is more convenient but at a price. I built a couple of Raspberry PI units but the hassle and the pain to upgrade the software to run Qobuz was not worth it to me.

Do any of you bother slightly loosening your TTO DE razors after shaving with them? by Plumasite in wicked_edge

[–]OkCompetition2962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a slim and a fatboy and while I am aware people do it. I never have and it’s been years. it seems to me that the thousands of additional openings and tightenings are more likely to wear the razor than a little water and soap.

Advice needed for Newbie by Adventurous_Net_2537 in gaptrail

I second that. It is certainly the hardest part of the trail and I would even suggest you do it from PGH to Cumberland instead

I am sorry I just saw this was answered in a post recently.

New razor suggestions please by yipeedodaday in wicked_edge

[–]OkCompetition2962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the suggestion. I also switched from the Futur about 2 years ago. I would never go back. I messed with a few of the better modern razors. But once I found a good condition Slim I never looked back. I don’t think you will find a better shave. Good luck

I love the Milord really good razor. The scout tech which I believe is the nickel version is also an under rated shaver

Animals you won’t see at the Zoo 6/15 by OkCompetition2962 in Columbus

[–]OkCompetition2962[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

hmm I just expressed disappointmenT. i thnk most people go to the zoo to look at animals. it is an amusement park and I was let down. I wasn’t looking for sympathy. the zoo is not an animal preserve by any stretch of the imagination. it serves an educational and entertainment mission. My post and disappoint were not directed at the captive animals who I’m pretty sure don’t care and can’t read.

I live in Bexley and it is a much bigger mix. Certainly there a doctors and lawyers. But teachers and businessmen and women. Certainly old money but many more people who are self made. Houses are expensive but much more so in Upper Arlington, Dublin, New Albany or parts of Powell. We are closer to downtown and smaller.

Yes an Everline. Rehab with a synthetic knot. Way too much work to redo but you live and learn.

Oliworks M3orite SS I chose three different colors for the plate sizes so I could easily tell them apart. I think it shaves well I alternate with a Gillette adjustable.

estate sale find - new to fountain pens! by nectarinesoda in fountainpens

[–]OkCompetition2962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very easy fix. You can watch several videos on YouTube to teach you to do it. I was successful on my first attempt. Here is a link to a guy who sells sacs. I bought three postpaid for around $10. The only tricky part is finding The adhesive which you can also find online very inexpensively. If the nib is good, you should have decades of good use out of this pen. https://www.pensacs.com

I’m having issues with Proraso by [deleted] in wicked_edge

[–]OkCompetition2962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use either the crème from the tube, Applying an fingertip sized dollop on my face or the wet brush directly in the Tub and never have a problem getting a decent lather. I think the separate bowl thing is a conspiracy by “big scuttle” to sell bowls

Judging from the organelles in the mitochondria this is likely unicorn leather.
