Exactly why I harped on the fact that Antiperspirant is the important part of the Deodorant combo…

BlanketsWithSmallpox@lemmy.worldto pics@lemmy.world•Grandmom asked me to sharpen her hatchet. What's worth doing is worth over-doingEnglish9·11 months agoLike the Man who in buying an Ax of a Smith my neighbor, desired to have the whole of its Surface as bright as the Edge; the Smith consented to grind it bright for him if he would turn the Wheel. He turn’d while the Smith press’d the broad Face of the Ax hard & heavily on the Stone, which made the Turning of it very fatiguing. The Man came every now & then from the Wheel to see how the Work went on; and at length would take his Ax as it was without farther Grinding. No, says the Smith, Turn on, turn on; we shall have it bright by and by; as yet ’tis only speckled. Yes, says the Man; but—I think I like a speckled Ax best.
And I believe this may have been the Case with many who having for want of some such Means as I employ’d found the Difficulty of obtaining good, & breaking bad Habits, in other Points of Vice & Virtue, have given up the Struggle, & concluded that a speckled Ax was best.
Relevant portion. Previous stuff is the usual be more efficient and good.

Right now it comes down to an actual official finding your paper ballot with hand marked tracking and presuming the computer read it correctly on an overall vote total.
Being able to do this anonymously and securely is where the problems lie. Which is also why digital only voting still isn’t a thing anywhere.
Dope, gulls are.
Oh for sure. And ideally everybody could be doing them too. I’ve gone green or at least more eco-friendly wherever my budget can allow, but genetics are a fickle bitch.
Some people are lucky with their genetics and don’t have stank sweat, eat healthy food, don’t have physically intensive jobs, so that homemade deodorant can work or a couple swipes of regular deodorant will last 24 hours (and they all say reapply as needed).
Is your skin complexion already ‘bad’? Do you leave sweat stains on your bedding? Do you not have problems with breakouts from aluminum oxide? Do you eat bad and don’t have the no stank sweat genes (east asian)? Chances are you need to change up your antiperspirant or deodorant routine if you still stink.
Turns out neurodivergent people think showering is what keeps them from smelling and refuse to regularly apply Anti-Perspirant.
Or worse, nobody ever told them ‘Deodorant’ lasts a whopping 2-4 hours compared to anti-perspirant. YMMV but most people aren’t the lucky ones with great skin or genetics that don’t make you rank like others who can last ‘48 hours’ with one application…
Like flushable wipes, yes, it says it lasts 48 hours, it’s bullshit. A few swipes in the morning in each pit, a few swipes every evening especially if you’re even lightly active. That means light-moderate pressure swipes too. Not so hard you’re leaving a visible layer which is why so many highschoolers shirts end up with white armpits, but not so softly that no material is literally coming off the cake. Reapplying more to already caked on pits is doing little. That means it’s time to shower and put on less next time. And wait until your pits are fully dry!.. then let the antiperspirant dry before tossing on a shirt and it’ll help with that shirt crud.
Try smelling your pits a couple hours after getting out of a good shower without applying any. It’s not the shower keeping most the stench off. It’s antiperspirant.
And yes, we will smell when you didn’t put any on Connor. Yes, we know you don’t think you stink because you can’t smell yourself. Yes, other people will always know when you smell. Air molecules travel at 500 meters per second.
Correct, you can’t wear the same thin hoodie 24/7 for more than a few days without it smelling. Yes, you should change your underwear daily. Yes, jeans can be worn for a while before needing a wash. Your thin ass comfortable nylon/polyester sweat pants only last a day with your stank. Wash your clothes. Wash your bedding ideally once a week unless you use pajamas. Even then, at least wash your pillow case once a week.
Start the routine now or set an alarm on your phone then actually follow through.

I think people overthink extra dimensions in 3d space…
4d objects aren’t magical things that don’t have form lol. Seeing a wing and eyeball doesn’t mean there’s magically not some part of its form that isn’t just a straight up wing an eyeball… They’re attached to something still… Extra dimensional beings have concrete forms…
Don’t mistake lovecraftian grotesquery or different high fantasy planes of existence with 4d/5d/etc. objects.

BlanketsWithSmallpox@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?English4·2 years agoI see this get talked about a lot.
Almost all my inside phone batteries I’ve had in cheaper knockoff phones have been replaceable. It’s not as easy as pulling the back cover off and instantly swapping it, but it’s not THAT much harder. It’s doesn’t exactly require microsoldering. Which is the reason why I know my last three have been replaceable despite being in-house.
Manufacturers really just need to make better and more secure charge ports. Having to resolder my last two blu phones and a Samsung because the charge ports go bad is just annoying.
Never had issues with a battery in all my years of using smartphones though.
America always does what’s right, after they’ve tried everything else. - Someone
