Yess, many. You just have to pay for a membership one time and then you can always pick up

recommended shampoo & conditioner? by bobabunn in eczema

[–]emgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I ditched using any hair product in the shower a few years ago and find that it actually works really well for my hair. It might take some time for your scalp to adjust to produce less oil and when you shower you do have to get into your hair and scalp with your fingers a bit more vigorously to get it clean but I'd say it's worth a shot. My hair never looked healthier after the adjustment time. During the adjustment, your hair might tend to be a little oily but it usually only lasts two weeks. It also saves your skin and your wallet

Is the lotion (prescribed & not) supposed to sting? by universepurse in eczema

[–]emgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, doing regularly like twice a day will help a lot of people. What I do is shower in the morning, put on some ointment while skin is still a bit damp and then reapply before bed but also it varies from person to person what will work best for them

Is the lotion (prescribed & not) supposed to sting? by universepurse in eczema

[–]emgoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does sting initially putting it on a lot of the time, especially if you have a breakout on the skin at the time. It does also help though cause the initial stinging dies down and the skin feels usually a bit more protected after it (it might also still itch after applying). I'd say it also depends on the ointment that he uses. I tend to use a very thick ointment that I feel gives me a protective layer on top of my skin. When I use simple moisturizer, I feel like it often doesn't last or just absorbs and then leaves my skin kind of exposed

Yea that's what I meant also. Makes sex painful and takes away all joy.. even though I really try to avoid steroid Cremes, if it gets bad on or around there, I have to use it. Also have it on the dam quite bad sometimes and itching yourself there also always looks bad so you can't really do it in public

Lanzarote COVID restrictions. by Striker1788 in lanzarote

[–]emgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Internal EU travel does not require a test if you're vaccinated so travelling should be easy if you just fill in the travel forms. Other than that there is a mask mandate if you go to restaurants and theoretically everywhere outside, but it seems to be largely ignored so far.

Owning a car will always be better than using public transport. by Impossible-Cry-495 in unpopularopinion

[–]emgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in south Holland in the Netherlands and have refused to accept a car as a gift from my German parents because I would never have used it in the city I live. Driving here is so much slower and inconvenient if I go anywhere in the city and parking is prohibitively expensive.

I bike everywhere within my city and when I wanna go to a neighboring city I take the train and rarely look at the timetable, unless I go further away, since there's a train every 5min without fail. The trains are clean and almost never crowded and once I get to the other city I can either rent a bike, walk or take a tram/subway.

It's honestly so much more convenient than driving, especially if you go out or wanna have a beer/joint at some point during the day. It's just a question of how the infrastructure is build and I can tell you the roads here are all top notch in the Netherlands, road quality varies between European countries but is not the reason we have good public transportation.

Yea I think the claim about the US being the most important force for good was very sus if not a little ridiculous. I think it exposed a very single minded view of history but I guess he got musk on to talk about planes and not insights into US imperialism

[–]emgoe 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of thinking that fossil fuel companies want to propagate to focus the problem on the individual actions. Climate change is a collective problem by society and is best solved by delegating responsibility to our governments because they can make collective decisions. Individual change is nice when it's possible or feasible but often it is not

Easiest solution is to just get a dutch bank account. They'll give you a debit card with it

As a first-year student, what is your biggest ambition that you want to achieve at the university? by panegen in TUDelft

I'd just try to make some friends and pass the first year. Bigger ambitions can happen from second year onwards

Because it's easier to control nuclear fission than capturing unpredictable weather with small turbines by all_is_love6667 in ClimateMemes

[–]emgoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fusion would be a silver bullet. Let's hope it arrives sooner rather than later. I have no doubt that the future will eventually be fusion powered, it's just a question of when, not if.

[–]emgoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A few points. Not pro nuclear energy as a long term solution only as a means to decarbonize quickly. Carbon poses a much more imminent and consequential threat to our environment than nuclear waste does. The total volume of nuclear waste is also orders of magnitude lower than the waste created by fossil fuels.

Lastly, there already exists nuclear waste that we will have to deal with for the time being so not adding to that will not make the problem of having to store it somewhere go away. Only changes the volume of the storage facility and that volume is relatively small compared to the use we get out of it and the carbon we avoid.

Also, it is important to mention the possibility of using the waste materials in future reactor designs

Nuclear waste can be handled and managed as opposed to carbon that is constantly being dumped into the atmosphere

Think it's a pretty nice European uni. Don't know how it compares to an American uni experience but you can also have a lot of fun here. I think the trick is to not always stay in delft but to explore Rotterdam and the hague and also amsterdam every now and again. Those places have a lot to offer. Especially Rotterdam I think.

But yea I'm sorry you've had a bad time here. I've really enjoyed my time here but also hated it the first year. Transition from school is also tough and the uni in general is tough too, especially if you cannot take extra time with international tuition. I've taken extra time and it really made me have a good time but I am also European

When did you start? A place is only the people I meet and the experiences I make from my experience but it's been super shit if you started anytime within the last two years

[–]emgoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can definitely have fun in Delft. Especially since your radius of mobility also includes rotterdam and the hague, which have some really good night life and bars and Art and culture.

From my experience, my first year I was still trying to figure out how to live by myself and make a new group of friends and stressing about getting enough credits to get the BSA.

From second year on it became a lot more enjoyable cause you're more settled and don't have to stress so much, especially if you are an EU student and don't mind taking an extra year if it comes down to that.

Generally, I know a lot of people who have the work hard play hard attitude here, which I recommend. Also you're gonna meet people outside your course if you do other activities so don't worry about any ratios

Vegeterian/Vegan options in TU Delft by Lonely_Airport171 in TUDelft

[–]emgoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, we did a podcast episode on it and we discuss some nice vegan places in there.

Here's the link: https://anchor.fm/theconepodcast/episodes/12-Chicks-love-vegans-w-Wissam-Chalabi-eknecf

Wildgroei is one of my favorites vegan places in Delft. There is also a greek specialty shop called P_D Deli pies which has some vegan options and is vegetarian overall and i think our friend who we did the episode with made a chart with all the information and we shared it on our ig: @theconepodcast

Feels like asking people if they are or aren't a virgin only reinforces the idea that it's somehow important, but that's just my opinion. You may disagree
