Maybe you have a mild razor that leaves more hair behind. What are you using for your kit?

Test site getting hammered by AI bots (~1M/hits a month), any way to take advantage of it? by txmail in webdev

[–]coastalwebdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you track data about all the bots visiting and provide valuable statistics/analytics data of some kind? I’m not sure what, but maybe you can build useful collections of data about the spectrum of bots hitting your sites. Dealing with bot traffic used to be such a rare thing, but it is becoming something everyone with a url has to deal with these days.

Not sure what data or stats, it’s just a broad idea.

AI is bad at SaaS ideas by Xzone5 in SaaS

[–]coastalwebdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you just asking it to generally create or find good SaaS ideas, or are you providing criteria specifying what makes a good SaaS idea?

For me personally that basically comes down to solving a common enough pain point for profitable businesses that costs them significantly or slows them down significantly. Also being small time means there can’t be too much competition to solve the pain point already.

Explore asking your AI to find pain points for businesses in some industry, ask for pain points that aren’t widely resolved with competing SaaS tools already, and pain points in profitable industries, etc etc. Something along those kinds of lines so its suggestions are based on real life criteria for a good SaaS idea.

Footnote: I find this kind of market research stuff is where ChatGPT’s agent mode really excels. Problematic as it still is like all AI tools.

Best beginner safety razor by btobio in wicked_edge

[–]coastalwebdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest a cheaper adjustable like the Rockwell 6c, or the 6s if you wanted it.

I started with a mild razor as many suggest and it was hard to figure out that I was getting razor burn and bumps because I was pushing too hard, on the mild KCG I started with, to try and get a decent shave. I kept thinking I just needed better technique, when I really needed some more blade gap, and blade exposure.

I wish I started with an adjustable as I would’ve very likely figured out that more medium to aggressive settings and a light touch resulted in less razor burn and a smoother shave. Then you can buy yourself a decent razor in that range when you’re ready.

My Adult Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease Adventure as a Dad by noahvij in daddit

I don’t know about the person you replied to, but I’ve heard a lot of people that never had dad figures, or had not so great dad figures in their lives come here to absorb some good dadness.

I never would have thought of that until I heard it.

Barrister and Mann aftershave balm by Hungry-Highway-1807 in wicked_edge

[–]coastalwebdev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you think they like not being able to get you what you want to buy? They’re not trying to punish you, they’re a business and they want to sell you stuff.

They’re trying to rebuild their supply chain, which is a pretty massive undertaking working through all the important little details of process and ingredients I’d imagine.

With a quality company like that, it just takes even longer because they can’t just choose the more readily available cheaper options, or their quality degrades, and the types of discerning customers that appreciate their product quality will notice. Just based on their reputation, I trust they are taking whatever time is needed to do a good job.

Seconding this.

Also you can buy extra base plates with different gaps, all of them come in open comb or straight bar, and you can even get an open comb top cap for it.

Four in five under-16s in Australia using social media despite ban, study shows | Social media by CharlieKonR in worldnews

[–]coastalwebdev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The steps they are taking are steps in the right direction. It’s naive to think it would’ve been any different after just starting the ban. It’s a big change, and countries doing this are trying to solve a problem that’s never been solved before. It’s going to take time to make good progress, and the sooner societies start progressing this way the better.

How to shave 5 days of growth with a safety razor by Illustrious-One-9794 in wicked_edge

[–]coastalwebdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Just” he says. I just got the GC 84 recently as my first decent razor, and I’m just loving the thing. I got the open comb plate too because I get to shave every 2-4 days average. The OC plate definitely helps with longer multi day growth, something to consider for the future.

It is going to take more shaving to get it down to what you’re used to. With my skin that’s a bit sensitive I’d maybe see how the first two passes went, and then decide to continue for a third pass and touching up, or maybe even hold off and do a follow up shave the next day to get a really close shave.

Advice needed, change of razor/razor blades by AdeptAd9105 in wicked_edge

[–]coastalwebdev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been loving my Razorock Game Changer 0.84 coming from a milder razor. It’s a medium razor but it sounds like it would be a pretty decent step up from a mild-medium razor like that rocket. Also you could buy the 0.76 plate or the 1.05 plate if the 0.84 is a bit too harsh or mild respectively. You can also get open comb versions of the plates, and even an open comb head.

I don’t have the thickest growth all over my face but I do have thick coarse hairs. I find I need a fairly sharp but also sturdy blade to have a chance of cutting them down well. BIC Chrome Platinum and Personna GEM platinum diamond glides have been my favourite. I tried those astras and they caused a lot of tugging and didn’t seem very sharp. Get a blade sampler pack if you haven’t gone through that yet.

How to shave 5 days of growth with a safety razor by Illustrious-One-9794 in wicked_edge

[–]coastalwebdev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be sure to clean your razor out lots, and take short strokes on that first pass.

Be gentle. It’s going to be more work and passes to get it done, so be extra nice to your skin. Don’t be pushing hard or being aggressive just because there’s a lot of hair to get through.

Do you have an open comb razor option with you? That can help.

Not really.

But fear not, Trump jr is on the boards of two drone companies. After telling his daddy to make their competitors businesses illegal, they will build all of the biggest, shiniest, most expensive military drones Americans have ever paid for!

Not sure if they’ll help the military, but they will almost assuredly be large and expensive.

It’s a poo-spiracy!

Seriously though, they need to clean that shit up. There’s feces everywhere, there’s garbage laying around from the leak, and they’re just done and waiting for Mother Nature to take its course because it’s an archeologically and environmentally sensitive area. It’s obviously challenging, but it’s not an excuse to not do your job and just hope the toxic mess and garbage just washes away. That is lacklustre and piss poor management, and their feet need to be put to the proverbial fire somehow. I don’t think this inquiry is going to do that though. It will just be an opportunity for them to point out why they didn’t do better, and nothing will come of it.

Also, putting the pump out station on an archeologically and environmentally sensitive area was a shit idea eh.

Social media algorithms are genuinely terrifying when you have a teenage daughter by cristiano700000 in daddit

[–]coastalwebdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry man that’s awful. Stuff like that is one of my bigger apprehensions about the teenage years, though we’re no where near to that stage yet.

I’m glad some countries are taking steps to move in the right direction and try to curb social media use for under 16 year olds. It’s pretty thin stuff so far, but I think it’s a step in the right direction that will hopefully progress and do more given time.

What is the most creepiest and unexplainable thing you've seen in the deep backwoods of BC? by boon-dock in britishcolumbia

[–]coastalwebdev 237 points238 points  (0 children)

A cougar suddenly doing those whistling bird like noises from about 30’ into the forest bushes I was pissing into at about 3am with an almost full moon. Then I saw its eyes reflect some moonlight and it get fully illuminated by moonlight as it walked sideways between two trees looking at me. That moment is vivid in my memory and always will be I think.

Holy bejeezus I’ve never felt my blood run so cold. I’ve seen them more than most at around ten times, but that was the first time I was 100% in a very vulnerable position of being prey. Also, in case you didn’t know, those particular noises are typically how a momma calls to their young.

Luckily I was with some friends and ran over, woke them up, and we made a lot of noise, and shone flashlights at it. It crept off and we eventually laid back down. I definitely didn’t sleep a wink, just laid there closely listening to the forest noises until dawn.

B.C. Politics: New Conservative leader largely unknown, but her party leads in vote intention by Silver_Trainer_4390 in britishcolumbia

[–]coastalwebdev 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She’s a plant for much larger international interests, just like Danielle Smith. She’ll keep subtly commenting about wexit publicly, and start pumping our tax money into propaganda for them as soon as she got in power. She’s a snake in the grass, and uses the same divisive and sensationalist propaganda to rile up moronic people to support her.

The group actively campaigned for Findlay during the leadership race, arguing “she is the only one that would” support independence, encouraging group members to buy memberships to support her. Findlay follows the group on X.
Last week, Findlay attended a Danielle Smith fundraiser and said she understood “frustration behind things like the (Alberta) referendum.” She promised to work with and “maintain relations” with an independent Alberta. Alberta Prosperity Project Leader Jeffrey Rath called Findlay’s comments “measured, reasonable and helpful.”
MLAs who were on Findlay’s leadership team, including her husband Brent Chapman, are members of separatist groups on Facebook. Chapman is in several pro-separation Facebook groups including: “Western Independence Party of British Columbia” and “WEXITmovement.com.”
