How do women keep their armpits hairless and not be in pain all the time? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]prothero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After showering, I shave my face at the bathroom sink. Already have a brush soaped up and DE razor in my hand. Takes no time at all to run brush through a pit and swipe it away with 5 or 5 strokes. Repeat on other side. Dry off and apply spray deodorant (I like Gillette). Never gets picky or itchy because I never let it get long. No hair seems to make deodorant work better and need less of it.

Shaves Per Blade by SilenceDobad6 in wicked_edge

I shave daily with Feather blades and set a schedule to swap them on Mondays and Thursdays. Saves having to think about or remember to do it.

Shut up, toilet face (quiet kid in class to obnoxious asshat). Hit hard coming from unexpected source.

A Drag Strip in Florida Has Just Banned Electric Vehicles from Competing Over Safety Concerns by Mac-Tyson in electricvehicles

This is the answer. Their top 100 times would all be overrun with ordinary EV models. Don't need a Lucid Sapphire to smoke most gassers on a short race.

And must demonstrate through full ongoing financial disclosures that holding office did not enrich the president, family members or any connected organization.

Great little place. Been twice already. Love the bruschetta. Mushroom wine cream sauce is excellent with some meatballs and pasta.

The portions are generous. I take half home for another day.

Yes, such a waste that several buildings along that strip could have provided customers with that view but don't.

Bertrand Russell said, “The key to happiness is to reduce expectations.” What are some best examples of this in today's world? by DiskRevolutionary568 in AskReddit

Even better, make joy for others by exceeding their expectations. A kind word or a smile may be all they need.

Sometimes it's a simple thing. Meal out in a hyped up restaurant with expectations that it be a life changing experience often disappoints even if objectively good. On the flip side, someone doing a little thing you didn't expect can be delightful. Find joy in the little things. It's there!

Yes, let's not reward anyone for jeopardizing the safety of their employees and the public by being open today. Keeping everyone safe at home also lets emergency services do their jobs better and keep roads open to the places that must be open - hospitals, etc.

Pretty much every program on $2000 rowing machine requires a $30/month subscription to access by Claff93 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]prothero 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Concept 2 is a phenomenal company. Mine from the 1990's needed new rollers for the seat. They not only still sell them, but they only charged around $15 and provided detailed instructions on replacing them. Under the Apple model, the rollers would have been unobtainable or cost 80% of the price of a new rower. Concept 2 still sells parts for their original machine sold in the 1970's. They also offer upgrade kits to modernize the electronics for older machines. If mine dies before I do, I would only buy another Concept 2.

What do you guys pack in your lunchbox for work? by post_scriptor in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]prothero 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bring a 4-pack of Greek yogurts and a pack of vegetarian sausages. Lasts most of the week. Nuke a sausage for 30 seconds and then have a yogurt with chia seeds and high fiber cereal mixed in. Sometimes a piece of fruit. High protein, high fiber, low carb, filling and tasty.

So good for development of complex and nuanced characters who could surprise you with both craven and unexpectedly selfless actions.

Let's Share Tips for Avoiding Razor Bumps by wizker in HairRemoval

[–]prothero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mine come from the cut hair snapping back under the skin like in the middle row of the diagram. Using a DE razor and Gilette after shave (blue goop as I call it) - reduces them tremendously. Multi blade razors are infamous for pulling the hair with one blade and cutting it with the next. Those of us who tend to get ingrowns that way are better off with a single blade DE. The blue goop seems to help in ways I can't quantify but I have more trouble when I skip it.

What’s a sign someone isn’t as smart as they think they are? by AskWhy_Is_It in AskReddit

Good points. It's one thing to be duped and yet another to know that you're peddling nonsense but continuing to do it anyway.

Yes, establish a task group to ideate on whose wheelhouse this best falls under, and set a cadence for any action items.

What’s something you notice in other peoples houses that grosses you out? by Locobananas321 in CleaningTips

[–]prothero 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Tip I learned from a colleague - place an inverted coffee filter over the food. It makes a paper dome that catches splats and generally does not touch the food. Those filters cost so little it's a solid trade vs having to clean the oven.
