  • Well shit, I was playing dying light 2 yesterday. It’s mildly better than the other game I’ve been playing Pathogenic which is a rogue lite where you play a pathogen trying to kill the scientist who made you in a lab.

    Think I’m pretty screwed either way to be honest. At least I’m dying light 2 I get to be human and do parkour so that’s cool.










  • Just another chipping in on the Eufy solar. I’ve been pretty impressed so far with a few minor niggles.

    Generally it works well, connects nicely to the repeater and rings ok. Solar works great no issues with battery power on our south facing front.

    The main selling point for me was no subscription or remote server connection.

    It’s annoying if it loses connection to the WiFi. I’ve actually turned the security mode (which makes it scream if taken off the wall without turning that off first in the app).






  • Drowning in a small space like underwater caving. I’m a bit catastrophic (claustrophobic). Normally no issues with water but the thought of being trapped somewhere small and watching it full up with water terrifies me. Safe to say I am never going caving or swimming in caves.

    Oh and the apparently inexorable march towards fascism in the UK and the west is pretty bad too.



  • Seconding this with caveats.

    Masturbation is normal, natural and healthy (reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men). Unless it isn’t, it’s not healthy when it is an addiction and masturbation is getting in the way of life. If you’re not seeing friends or missing work or school because you’d rather watch porn and jerk off then that’s a problem. A therapist would be the best person to talk to about that if you do have an addiction.

    If you’re just masturbating a few times a week then carry on, enjoy yourself and don’t feel guilty.


  • Welcome to the super cheap shaving club!

    I recommend the Leasureguys guide to gourmet shaving, it’s a real deep dive into shaving with a safety razor.

    I’d recommend getting yourself a blade trial pack, a few places on the net do them, and try out a selection of blades to see what your preference turns out to. Different combos of blade and razor, skin and hair types will have quite different results

    For wet shaving I do 3 passes for a really close shave, with the grain, across and finally against. If I’m short on time I only do the first two and it’s presentable.

    I just rinse my blade after but I only typically keep a blade for 4 or 5 shaves.

    I’d recommend getting a good quality brush and an alum block for after, it will help you improve your technique too as the stingy bits are more irritated so you can focus on that for next time.
