yeah, safety razor blade brand actually matters
I switched over to DE shaving, which means shaving using a double-edge blade using a safety razor. This is something I started doing about six months ago, stopped using the cartridge razor (I used to use Gillette Sensor 5), committed to it, and have not used a cartridge razor on my face since.
Initially, I thought that blade brand wouldn't matter all that much and tried several just to be sure.
I was wrong. Blade brand does matter.
It is funny however which blade agrees best with my face.
weather tools i use that don't suck
It is usually true - other than just by looking outside - that the only thing you really need to get weather information is a weather station and/or a big 'ol outdoor thermometer.
What those tools can't do however is tell me a forecast, nor give me any information from a significant distance.
how i deal with being sick
I've been sick all week. Caught a bug. Is it flu? No idea. Maybe.
I don't get sick often. Maybe once or twice yearly. But when I do, it hits hard and there is a routine I go through to allow my body to heal itself.
I'll try my best not to make what I'm about to describe sound gross.
Gem guitar from the 90s: G&L ASAT III
It's not the Strat-style pickup configuration and electronics that really make this great but rather the bridge.
Take the G&L ASAT III from the late 1990s. It does not load strings from the rear but is rather a top loader, and things get better from there.
9 volt battery prices are stupid
The main reason people buy 9V batteries are for smoke alarms. This has been the way of things for what, 40 years now?
In guitar and bass player circles, the 9 volt is used for pedal effects (a lot of BOSS pedals use a 9V directly under the footswitch), acoustic-electric guitars with a preamp and active electric bass guitars.
Regardless of where you use the 9 volt battery, there's basically only one rule you need to follow so you don't get ripped off with these things.
