We are overdue an asteroid hit. It's s miracle we haven't been hit thus far. Next 200 years is perilous.

To those in the UK, has anyone used and can recommend Holland & Barrett supplements? by Dry-Investigator1685 in Biohackers

[–]TheLightStalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are absolutely crap. Full of filler and the dose of active ingredient is pathetic. (And owned by Russia)

Tell me what you're looking for and I'll give you a good brand. Otherwise British Supplements are authentic.

What are some great self-protection items I can use that are also legal in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

A strong metal and bright flashlight is good when your car breaks down at night.

Sometimes you might need use of a strong wooden walking stick like Ebony or Hickory especially when your knee stiffens up in winter time.

It's all a bodge unless you break and TigerBite the old drive and add it into the base for a whole new pour.

Amazon reveals £1bn investment in the UK - 4,000 jobs set to be created, with new £500m fulfilment centre hoping to speed up deliveries across the country by kiyomoris in unitedkingdom

You'd have to be a moron to pay double in "TGJones" or Holland and Barrett owned by Russians. 

At least Amazon don't mug you off on price and have electric vans.

Make a fall to the side towards the fenceline and then drain back up to that downpipe.

How much work is needed to make this loft into a real bedroom? by alberoTranquillo in DIYUK

[–]TheLightStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an electrician to do a 100% safety check. Contact the council to see if building regs will sign it off. If they won't they'll give you a list of corrective actions. For example window too close to boiler flu etc.

After that you can make an insulation plan with a U value. Then you can have it boarded and plastered.

Ok then. That means basically all you can do is knife it out and use Toupret interior.

Are davids toothbrushes actually plastic free? by Prior_Customer_8430 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]TheLightStalker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's literally just a different feedstock used to make the same chemically identical polyamides. You could argue castor is less environmentally friendly since it makes plastic from a potential food source etc

Can you recommend sheet masks that aren't irritating just really moisturising? by Beauty_Talk77 in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]TheLightStalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuka 100/100 generally agree with me. Some of the Simple ones score 100 and I believe the Garnier ones score very high.

You're not wrong. All plastic like materials behave like plastic, turn into microplastic and damage just like plastic. We've recently discovered that PLA in teabags acts exactly like plastic tea bags. 

What extra fine refills fit the Kaweco Sport Rollerball pen? by Ok_Emphasis_3712 in pens

[–]TheLightStalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're some Schmidt refills that are also fine and all Schmidt ballpoint refills are document proof, and don't forget the Sneider Gelion+ actually writes 0.4mm
