  • I'm sure the make fantastic products and my brother in law swears by this, but somehow it's never felt right for me. I should take the bias out and try this some day. Thanks.

  • Weirdly, I stopped shaving for the last 2 months to see if my beard will finally grow. Its working.

    That being said, yeah, Native Deo was ok, but did not last. I am concerned about BO, so yeah, this will take some doing.

    Not quite close to a Farmers Market, but I need to actually look through. I did however see bars of soap from Australia in Goodwill, but those seemed sketchy.

  • Nice. These look interesting. I do samples all the time, for colognes, but did not know about the ones you shared. Thanks.

  • No it is not. There is no way this is enforceable. At all.

  • Are you a 'do the good part first' or 'save the best part for last' sort of person?

    Jump

  • Such is life. The hardest part, and something I’m still actively unlearning, is how we were taught to eat in boarding school. You had under three minutes to finish your meal. If you didn’t, you threw it away. It was crappy barely cooked food. It was a terrible way to live. That was what my 4 years of high school taught me.

    Years later, I was having lunch with my niece and nephews when one of them commented, “Look, Uncle eats like those guys in prison.” It stung, because it was true. And honestly, the time limit was only part of it. The worse lesson was that if you didn’t eat fast enough, bullies would finish first and grab your plate. So you learned to eat quickly while keeping your head up, always watching your back.

  • I grew up in a dictatorship. Because of shortage of nice things, we became ABC eaters. Best for last. My ex pointed it out one day. So if we got frenchfries and a sausage, french fries first, sausage last and the sausage was considered the best so it was always last. Over 4 decades later, its french fries, salad, then the burger.

  • Tyler Perry has no excuse

    Jump

  • You are not the target audience.

    Many years ago, I attended a Google workshop in Senegal, and I pointed out that Nigerian movies were not the best, and they were mass producing a ton of crappy movies. So, a producer explained that I was not the intended target audience, and there are people who pay to watch those movies, because they can identify with the story.

    Tyler Perry belongs to that school of thought. It is how he became a billionaire in the first place. He knows his target audience and what they are into. And the distributors who carry them know that they will sell. Bollywood follows the same principle.

  • There should be a 'Political Showerthoughts': so there's a place for such thoughts (Edit: 'Political Showerthoughts' is now live for just that)

    Jump

  • Yes. Start one. The biggest benefit of having different subs back over at u/fuckspez dumpsterland was the independence to create whatever you or anyone wanted. We are here because we believed even more different and have the right to choose whatever we want. Since politics and ai are not welcome here, doesn't mean there isn't a crowd for it. Go for it.

  • back to distrohopping. I want a reliable OS (no rando ubuntu fork with no clear release/support schedule) with something else than Plasma or Gnome.

  • Debian + XFCE

    Debian + Budgie

  • They're trying to take our guns!

    Jump

  • In a twisted way, Trump is inadvertently trying hard to prove that more guns in the hands of untrained people with no background checks are a bad idea, something NRA was hoping to keep down. The cat is out of the bag now.

    Anyway, fight girls.

  • Can i install Debian with no DE and mix programs from several DEs?

    Jump

  • Yes. I run Debian with a bunch of Gnome and KDE applications on XFCE4. UI looks weird sometimes, but it works as well as I expect.

  • Works great.

    I sell managed services and this is one of the things I offer. Its a fire and forget sort of system. However, your experience with managing the back end stuff, updates etc will really matter cause if it goes sideways, you have to know how to debug. That is pretty much what I do.

  • US expands list of countries whose citizens must pay up to $15,000 bonds to apply for visas

    Jump

  • The Tswana (people from Botswana) rarely travel. When I lived there, the government used to have massive drives to get people to apply for passports. It rarely worked. So this is a non-issue and arbitrary or either a badly scripted effort to do work on behalf of some diamond dealer. Nonetheless, the Tswana, more interested in partying than visiting USA will be unbothered. Also, there is a base involved and the EFF (volatile South African political party) have been pushing for it to be removed. This is just giving it impetus.
