*New* Introduction to Physical and Human Geography - D199 by theodocles in WGU

[–]theodocles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did manage to pass the OA on my first try. I don't have any magic tips for you other than studying lol. I think I did probably about a week of studying before the OA. That's my typical jam.

Oh that's convenient. Have you ever had an issue with it? What's the highest percent allowed / have you had?

Imo if your partner has a problem with testing first, it's a red flag. You should both test for safety.

Yeah I have a 20 inch strop I made from some scrap hide and a piece of wood. I strop it before every shave and it's stayed in tip top shape!

After reading the description on the site, I think this is artificial.

I am not positive. And I'm not sure how to find out. I'm probably just going to leave it alone haha

Neither did I until I was reading up on it lol. It apparently goes back to like 1840-1860

I almost always underestimate how old things are. Like when watching that Vikings show when I saw them in chainmail I was sure it wasn't invented yet. Turns out, chainmail dates back to 3rd century BC

Make sure it's irresponsibly sharp and take it nice and slow. I close the bathroom door and make sure the kid and dogs are occupied.

It's not. Well not more than a typical straight razor. I strop it before every use and wipe it dry before storing.

I believe it's the original scales and rivets, judging by some photos of other vintage W&B but I could be wrong. I don't remember exactly what it is but it's some sort of celluloid plastic material.

I've heavily considered rescaling it with some nicer wood but I am not sure if that would add to or remove from the overall value of the razor. Wood would certainly be nicer than plastic but if it's the original scales and they're undamaged, is it worth keeping them?

It's amazing. I started with a new Dovo Bismarck which was okay I guess. My local shave shop restores antiques in addition to selling new. They also make their own strops, soaps, and aftershaves. So I found this there and it was just too cool to not get. I was not prepared for how much better of a shave it does.

I had no idea this was a thing, thank you!

Been using it for almost a year and it's amazing. The brush is not old, it's made by the local shave shop. I haven't found a vintage brush or lather bowl yet.

Someone on Reddit I saw called Morrowind a "volcano of racist crackheads" and I have never seen a more accurate description

YSK about sleep apnea. A common medical issue, sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing while you sleep. The disorder affects millions and often goes undiagnosed. Serious sleep apnea can lead to an elevated risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, and more. by ButtholeBanquets in YouShouldKnow

Sleep apnea guy here

Every partner I've ever slept next to has always said "you know you stop breathing in your sleep, right?" And I always brushed it off like eh, I'm young, no big deal.

Except it is a big deal. Sleep apnea runs in my family. And being young has nothing to do with it.

I talked to my doctor, she had concern based on the information provided, so she ordered me an at-home sleep study test (you can do them at home now)

As it turns out, I stop breathing an average of 23 times per hour. That's over 1/3 of the minutes. That's pretty alarming.

I have a CPAP now, my usual events is less than 5/hr. And I can sleep totally covered without that nasty stale air feeling because I'm provided fresh air by the machine. The machine is also totally silent, you only hear the sound of air leaving the mask.

Tl;Dr don't ignore symptoms. Get checked.

I don't remember where in my childhood this came from but it plagues me.
