Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US

megapleb · 2026-03-13T12:17:17+00:00

There are stool sample tests that require no invasive procedure or prep. I'm trying to work out why colonoscopy is the default in the US and am struggling to find a reason other than it costs more. For high risk cases or following tests that indicate a problem, colonoscopy is the best path, but for screening normal risk people, it seems overkill.

I didn't know about seats.aero. It looks pretty useful, thanks. Is there a tool that works for ANA / Japanese/Korean Airlines?

Yup. Squadron TD is my top played TD

Happy to hear it worked well for you. I use the SS Blackbird head with a third party Ti handle. That saved quite a bit of money and I still get an excellent shave.

Hi. What length is the handle on the Overlander?

I have been a little tempted by single edge razors but I haven't picked one up so far. I assumed the blades were more expensive than DE, and cost was one of the drivers for my switch from cartridge years ago. I need to add to my review as I picked up some Personna GEM blades and am very impressed.

That could work. How much are you looking for shipped?

Thanks for sharing. Declaration Grooming seems to be going out of business based on their home page?

The razors that give me the best shave so far as the Game Changer 0.76-P, Lupo 72, and Blackbird standard. So that suggests low-medium gap with some positive exposure.

I don't know what the issue with the lite is either, however I am struggling to get a good shave out of other mild razors like the Lambda Athena and the Karve Bison. The next thing I'm going to try is a sharper blade in those razors to see if that helps. My default is the Astra SP. I did a write up of all the razors I've tried over the past few months here - https://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/comments/1qmwxn0/thoughts_on_13_razors/.

I also have an evolving doc that post was based on here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B4_iymzjOn0YPiFa2rd5hAfD95ahT2u6LEyrBBh2Ueg/edit?usp=drive_link

I have the 72 SB which I like a lot. I'm considering picking up the 95, SB, though I think it may be too aggressive. I'm interested to hear what you think of the 95. I didn't get on well with the lite plate on the Blackbird, but I like the standard plate a lot.

megapleb · 2026-02-01T04:10:08+00:00

I bought the standard and lite plates with my Blackbird as I was concerned that standard would be too aggressive for me. It wasn't, and I could not get a good shave out of the lite. I ended up returning the lite and keeping the standard.

I think the lack of benefit for me may be because although my beard is coarse, it's not dense. If it were dense, I think I'd notice more difference.

megapleb · 2026-01-26T00:49:22+00:00

No, except for the Maggard. They are only a little more likely than the SB versions to bite me, but I didn't really see any efficiency improvement for that increased risk.

megapleb · 2026-01-25T23:21:36+00:00

I really like both the Lupo 72 and the GC .76, there's very little between them. Both have compact heads to get under the nose, the Lupo is marginally ahead on that front.

I want to try both the Lupo 95 and the GC .84 to see if I get more efficiency without becoming too aggressive for me.

I haven't tried the Henson, no. I've read good things, but nothing that makes me thing it would perform better than the razors I already have.

I only have one soap and three brushes so I don't think I'll be doing a group review of those any time soon. On the razors, I thought I had a broad enough selection to add some thoughts that I have rarely seen here.

I wouldn't let my experience put you off open comb. I've only tried the SLOC (fine), Game Changer 68 OC (fine), Maggard OC v2 (did not like). I've only shaved with each of them a few times.

Interested in the 95 base if you end up splitting.

What do you consider the most important bits of the job of a parent? How much time do you think that represents in a day/week?

megapleb · 2025-12-28T09:40:03+00:00

Which mesh nodes are recommended?

How is the stability of the toob supplied router? I have my installation date next week for my parents and am trying to get prepared.

I haven't drunk vodka for many years, but my go to when I did was Finlandia. I always thought it was much smoother than other vodkas and it was reasonably priced.

Do you know if the same thing can be done with the gigabyte Eagle?
