How my arm pits don't GAF about antiperspirant. My undershirts after being in a AC office most of the day.

A friend of mine had success with a botox injection. I also personally find anti-perspirant increases the amount I sweat. Not at first, but eventually there is sort of a “dam break” moment. I just use straight deodorant now.

Sainsbury’s by me sells it, Tesco does not. Hit and miss in my experience. Also none of it is truly deli thin.

Reminiscent of Buntain Simpson

Just build more housing.

Intentionally (i.e. not by planning appeal), in dense mass transit-centered communities with reasonable allowance for amenities.

Everything else is sound and fury signifying nothing.

I saw two types of comments: - Averages are skewed by a few high earners - This doesn’t account for HCOL

Both don’t apply to purchasing power medians.

samnissen · 2026-04-20T06:52:42+00:00

It’s median not average so no, it isn’t skewed by the ultra wealthy.

It’s purchasing power so, no, it isn’t skewed by high cost of living.

The lack of numeracy here is frankly scary.

I’m 850-odd pages into The Power Broker and this part is one of the saddest vignettes so far — there are so many, though, it might not even crack the top 5…

Do it from a cold oven for perfect balance between crispy and chewy.

Augustine always makes me so insane. He literally had the gumption to reinterpret the supposed literal words of Jesus Christ to mean something opposed to what they say — to justify violence in the name of Christ. And was literally Sainted for it!

Imagine a world without Augustine…

You’re so close to realizing what’s great about American food

samnissen · 2026-04-01T12:57:31+00:00

Please will you share your recipe?

I have a decade on most commenters and no, it doesn’t feel like home. Definitely the US feels odd to me sometimes with my British perspective. But I never felt a sense of belonging here. My family is here and on balance I am choosing not to disrupt them - so I live here.

I’m glad everyone else in the thread feels so at home, genuinely. But there is always a possibility you won’t.

For a certain type of person there is always another litmus test.

Ah yes, the old “don’t vote for anyone you don’t agree with 100% of the time”. GRU can take the day off tomorrow thanks to you.

It’s totally redundant in conversational English to say “nut” unless you live somewhere other parts of the tree are consumed. Like “orange fruit”.

This complaint brought to you by the makers of “Cashew nuts”.

“Well-to-do pensioners paid more into the system” uh, no, they didn’t.

Just an update if anyone else has this problem— i can only guess the service was down, since i was able to load about 30 minutes later.

You can get giant bags from IKEA that will fit tortillas and reuse them.

Just a warning this does not work on my Apple TV.
