  • This isn’t new.

    I stopped watching TV in the mid-90s when Star Trek TNG turned out to be a disaster, and there was nothing else good on.

    Most of the shows from that era (Seinfeld, Married with Children, Malcolm in the Middle), are about horrible people being horrible to each other - with a laugh track! - or about unrealistic people behaving in ridiculous ways (Friends, I’m looking at you!).

    Sitcoms are rarely funny, but that’s a long-standing tradition. Shitty and/or cringe-inducing behaviour rule the time slots.




  • Calgary was facing a big infrastructure cost to update our EOL fluoridation system. Three counsellors drove the charge to get rid of fluoridation entirely: a ‘stop all government spending!’ con, an anti-science earth mother type, and a progressive who kept screaming ‘we need to address dental care as a societal issue!’

    And so we saw tooth decay climb for a decade. When we finally decided to put it back in, the cost was higher than the initial upgrade plus a decade of maintenance would have cost.

    Idjits,



  • I don’t know anyone who disinfects their blades, or generally takes them out between shaves. Just rinse the razor in hot water and hang it in a stand to dry.

    Different blades work for different people - hair, skin, sensitivity, and technique vary, so try a dozen different blades and decide what works best for you.

    After 30 years of different products, Henri et Victoria have become my go-to for soap. They make great shaving stuff in general, and have a vegan option.

    As you get more comfortable with your razor, pay close attention to its angle to your skin.
