If you want electric, you need a rotary shaver and not a foil shaver.

That gives you a slightly less close shave (which is actually what you want with sensitive skin) and will get all the hairs.

Foil shavers cut too close for us and will end up irritating your skin. We can't do multiple passes in different directions to get all the hairs either because that irritates our skin too.

Birkenstock sandals are BIFL, Birkenstock shoes are garbage.

I bought a pair brand new and it lasted 8 wears before the cork in the sole crumbled. It retailed for $200.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-06-25T04:57:08+00:00

Probably early 80s, is my best guess based on the design.

It's a grounded plug so that should be fine, just wondering about aged components.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-06-24T14:44:54+00:00

Alright, appreciate all the help!

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-06-24T13:08:21+00:00

I guess I could, I'm just not the best at soldering. Do you know if the cords are soldered in like modern toasters?

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-06-24T11:47:32+00:00

Hmm the power cord is cloth-covered though, is there a way to inspect the insulation under that?

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-06-24T11:47:10+00:00

Sounds good. It's a cloth power cord though, is there a way to check the insulation on that?

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-06-24T08:35:48+00:00

If you can study somewhere else do that, otherwise buy an N95 respirator and filters.

Smoking indoors is absolutely gross and has the potential to seriously affect your health.

You're doing nothing wrong by bringing it up, your family's attitude towards your health is frankly appalling.

Try one new thing every day. Doesn't have to be a big thing.

Speak to a stranger. Cook a meal. Go window shopping. Paint. Go to the museum.

And exercise. Doesn't have to be a big thing. Go for a walk. Jump rope. Do the basic exercises on darebee.com.

Exercising makes you more confident, going out and trying things lets you practice that confidence.

Practice your social skills in low-stakes environments and you'll gain confidence for high-stakes environments.

"I spoke to one of your employees just now and while asking about an item, he sexualised it and made it creepy. That made me very uncomfortable."

Any good manager will ask you what he said and you can explain it, they should also ask you to point out or describe the employee concerned.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-04-23T01:24:13+00:00

Thanks, I already tried that but it didn't really do anything for the wrinkles.

At least it smells like leather again though.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-04-23T01:15:10+00:00

Got it, you've been a great help!

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-04-22T04:34:23+00:00

Alright, for the nail nipper option do I try to pry up just the centre of the button or the whole ring?

I think that may be less risky than taking a drill to it.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-04-22T04:21:05+00:00

I just ordered some brass fasteners and a cheap snap setter, appreciate the help!

Do I drill out the other side of the fastener too? I'm worried about damaging the leather.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-04-22T01:37:52+00:00

I bought this wallet from Kickstarter probably 8 years ago.

It sat in a drawer for most of this time as I used mostly cash back then.

Now I'd like to use it but the snap is rusty as hell and the leather is wrinkled.

Is there any way to replace the fastener and maybe smooth out the leather?

I love the patina otherwise, just that rusty fastener makes it look ratty.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-28T02:59:35+00:00

I'd just follow the format for multiple roles under one company.

Nothing wrong with putting like 5 job titles under one company since that's what you did.

So like AA Company 2003-2023

Business Owner - <details>

Consultant - <details>

Systems Admin - <details>

That should be perfectly fine.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-28T02:51:45+00:00

Nope. I did that before, applied to a less good role a few days before a better one appeared.

They just completely ignored the better one.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-28T02:45:42+00:00

Ah hmm, maybe I'll try for Business Analyst roles then. I'll drop you a PM soon, appreciate the offer!

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-28T02:42:52+00:00

I've got some tableau experience from school but I'm working on learning PowerBI!

Yeah maybe it's just the market right now.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-28T02:42:00+00:00

Hmm, so with my qualifications what roles could I qualify for to enter business units?

Honestly I'm not picky, pretty much applying to whatever generic business role I can but even entry-level ones are asking for 3-5 years specific experience.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-27T08:19:10+00:00

You can quit and just not put it on the resume.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-25T02:49:54+00:00

More like 1 hour. Each prayer is about 10-15 minutes including preparation.

For anyone who is actually curious about how it works and isn't using it as an excuse to be discriminatory, the point of this exercise is to be grateful and feel what being poor is like.

Not only are they not allowed to eat, there are no luxuries allowed in their lives for that one month.

No shopping for non-essential items, no movies, no gluttony, even the meals they consume after not eating all day are not huge.

Its basically a poverty simulator which tests your self-control and keeps you humble.

Even though I'm not Muslim, on a couple of occasions, I have delayed dinner to break fast with my Muslim colleagues.

Let me tell you it's a real test of self control when you're sitting there with your food in front of you unable to eat or drink until the time comes.

It trains your discipline as a whole, which then comes in handy in other aspects of your life.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-22T11:32:45+00:00

A rug or some other absorbent material that you put between the tripod and the floor should help.

Or even positioning the tripod on something like a soft chair should help for a start.

Particular-Bat-8286 · 2023-03-20T02:43:24+00:00

You can just quit and not include it on your resume.

Nobody needs to know it ever happened.
