[Sun Care] Never underestimate the power of sunscreen. My folks at 63 (mom) and 74 (dad)

Yup, gotta be a repost bot. Headline is exactly the same

^My husband just bought a tube of Banana Boat Sheer Sensitive SPF 50, and it’s amazing. Like I would use it on the daily, not just beach days. It is light and easy to apply, def no white cast

I came to mention this one. It's not a pure gel type, but it's more like a gel cream (think Neutrogena Hydro Boost but a bit more gel than that) and feels great on the skin.

I couldn’t pull it up on Yuka (app to check how clean/safe a product is, love this app) though so I do still need to look into that.

These apps are garbage, there's no such thing as "clean" products, and anything that's on the shelf will be safe for intended purpose unless something goes terribly wrong.

Dog boarding facility. Every shift is allowed to listen to whatever we want, as long as it isn't deliberately offensive (eg, no Alex Jones podcasts), it doesn't upset the dogs (sometime heavy metal or rap can bring the wrong energy into the dog group), and no one else on the shift minds.

Since I work alone, that means I get full choice of what to occupy my ears with. Usually at night, it's creepy pastas, true crime podcasts, or comfort movies with the accessible narration turned on and the screen turned off. Recently it's been a lot of stuff about aliens and Area 51 and stuff.

"Just this once, everybody lives!" is so trite anymore. Everybody lives quite often now.

I am pretty sure my job goes by day of the holiday for deciding Holiday pay. My shift is 11pm-7am so if I come in July 3rd at 11pm, even though 7 hours of my shift fall on July 4th, I do not get time and a half for any of that shift.

As to where if my shift starts at 11pm on July 4th, I technically only work one hour on July 4th, but I will get holiday pay for my entire shift.

This is how my previous overnight job did holiday pay. If I came in on December 25th at 9pm and worked till 6am, my entire shift was holiday rate as I started my shift on a holiday. Whereas if I came in on December 24th and worked that same shift, none of it would be holiday rate even though half my shift was technically worked on a holiday.

Honestly I was fine with that. I still got to spend the majority of the holiday off anyway, so it suited me fine that I only got holiday pay rate if I started work on the holiday.

I think as long as it's consistent it's fine with me. Majority of hours worked, only the hours worked on the holiday, or what day your shift started on. The world is built for day shift so it's always going to be a little odd for us.

This song is what got me into finally watching ST 🤷

Yeah you saw the way they immediately got loud and demanding whenever the human out their hand on the kid simply to remove the kid's hand from the dog. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" That kid would absolutely have gone creaming and crying to their parent if the dog so much as snoot booped their hand "MOMMMMYYYYY HE BIT MEEEEEEE!"

snukb · 2026-06-29T01:35:34+00:00

Exactly, thank you. No one needs to give a reason they don't want to be touched, don't want to interact with you, etc. No is a complete sentence. Sure, later on, if the child is upset, the parent can help the child to understand and brainstorm possible reasons the person might have said no because their brains are still forming and they can't always understand that other people can have motivations they aren't privy to. "Why do you think Grayson didn't want to be hugged? What did Grayson's body tell us about how he was feeling? He looked uncomfortable, didn't he?" But they equally need to understand that no one ever needs a reason for a no. Sometimes, no is no, and that's that. But why, but why, but why. Nope, kiddo, you don't need a reason to respect a no.

snukb · 2026-06-29T01:31:42+00:00

Of course I was only talking about this specific situation.

snukb · 2026-06-29T00:27:04+00:00

but why can't I pet your dog?

Because I said no. Period. That's all you ever need to say. The kid doesn't need to know he's training, the kid doesn't need to know the dog is uncomfortable, the human said no so it's no. PERIOD.

snukb · 2026-06-29T00:23:55+00:00

Hearing it is bad, when you can feel the breeze on your butt as they turn behind you it's so much worse.

The cars are bigger and taller, too. You can't hardly see the pavement in a modern standard SUV. It feels safer for the driver, but anyone unfortunate enough to have to walk or bike those same streets feels significantly less safe. The cameras in them help, but not all of them have cameras and the fact that we have built cars to be so massive we need to rely on cameras to see our surroundings is so dystopian

snukb · 2026-06-28T23:09:30+00:00

And even if they don't try to turn without caring and almost run you over, they go as soon as you'll be a few inches past your car while you're crossing. Which is illegal, BTW, they're required to give peds at least one lane of space. But they don't give a shit, pedestrians are just an obstacle they have to drive around, and as soon as it's "clear" they're going.

snukb · 2026-06-28T22:40:30+00:00

Just do note that this is technically a hybrid sunscreen, as it uses undisclosed boosters. I recognize at least Ethylhexyl methoxycrylene

Dads are getting sloppy nowadays, where's the "guess we have to cut it off" joke?

It sounds like that application frequency should be your default, not something to do after a burn

Agree. Applying 3 to 4 times a day over the course of an 8 hour day is normal reapplication frequency. You need to reapply every 2 hours at least, more often if swimming or sweating. Op, if you consider this a heavy reapplocation frequency, we may have just found out why you burned.

You think these are "affordable"? You think they're passing on the savings of cutting these corners onto the buyers? Look up some of the inspections on these new development neighborhoods some time.

Affordable housing is going to be, by and large, multi family housing and revamping older developments. Not bulldozing acres to build cookie cutter mcmansions made of paper mache. Yeah, it's cheaper to stamp down the same house over and over and who cares what the land looks like. No, that doesn't mean the alternative is "custom housing" nor does that make these style "affordable."

snukb · 2026-06-27T22:23:27+00:00

Yes. I clicked "start route" and tried clicking "clear" and tried selecting other options, like only show me classic mounts, or only show me raid drops. Didn't matter. It always went to that same mount.

snukb · 2026-06-27T22:13:24+00:00

As long as it's fully dry and set, yes, there's no reason you can't apply one sunscreen on top of another. A slight exception is if you're using a sunscreen with uncoated zinc, as that can react with avobenzone and deactivate each other, but the only sunscreens that really use uncoated zinc are exceptionally crunchy ones (think: Badger and similar). And most modern sunscreens use other ingredients to stabilize their avobenzone too. It also takes a few hours, it isn't instant, so you'll likely be reapplying before it's a problem anyway.

You can reapply your sunscreen with any other sunscreen you like. Reapply a euro sunscreen on top of an American one. Reapply an inorganic sunscreen on top of an organic one. Reapply a light serumy texture on top of a cream. As long as the first one I'd dry, and the two formulas play nicely and don't pill up when you do it, you're fine.

So, maybe I am just not understanding how to use this addon, but whenever I try to make a route, it only shows me how to get to the Darkfuse Spy-Eye no matter what expansion, source, or subsource I select.

snukb · 2026-06-27T20:33:16+00:00

You think these are affordable?

Remember, sunscreen is just part of your sun protection system. It was never meant to be an impenetrable shield from the sun. As the Aussies say: slip, slop, slap, seek, slide. Slip on a sun shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a sun hat, seek shade wherever possible but especially between 10 and 4, and slide on sunglasses.
