1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG. CCS. Been struggling with irritation on my face at all times, not just shaving... Seems to be getting slightly better over time. Decreasing my shaving frequency also seems to help... :(

    Prevention really is the best single way to keep children healthy and safe, and this is a preventive move...

    Reminds me of public schools teaching kids abstinence only for sex ed because it's the only 100% prevantative method (and also because it's easier to just say "abstain" than to say "here are the measures you should take to be safe." This is a problem of lazy lawmakers.

    Raw dairy should be made more legal and so that it can be intensely regulated. If raw milk dairy farms operated out in the light where they needed to have auditable food safety programs beholden to extra strict raw dairy specific rules, the situation would be very different in my opinion. And label the milk like cigarettes, with a huge warning from the surgeon general.

    unpasteurized milk has morphed into a widespread movement rooted in wellness trends and institutional distrust

    Unpasteurized milk tastes WAY better. I don't drink it, but if I did, it would be because of the taste. ALL the folks I know who drink it do so because of the taste.

    1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG, 3rd pass ATG. DFS. Happy with how this ATG pass went :) could have been a bit more aggressive I suppose, but it feels like a veeeeery thin line... For now I am satisfied to err on the side of caution.

    2x WTG, 1x XTG. Comfortably close shave. Maybe I don't have a lanolin sensitivity, because this felt pretty nice. I was cutting down a forest so it took a while. I feel pretty lost as to what exactly it is that my face needs at this point, but using unscented soaps does seems to help.

    This is a rough one since most modern food production facilities completely (or almost completely) eliminate glass from the production floor and track every glass breakage event. Typically all glass and brittle plastic in use in production areas is indexed and audited regularly. Glass getting in the food should be next to impossible.

    Sounds like these folks messed up big time!!

    Instead, Jeffries argued Democrats should focus on making healthcare more affordable by reversing Republican-enacted Medicaid cuts and extending Affordable Care Act tax credits that he said have helped millions of Americans manage insurance costs.

    So basically he's saying that now that Republicans hamstringed our healthcare, we should change our goals and just go back to how things were??? I feel like this is the most obvious it has ever been that establishment dems are NOT on our (the people's) side.
