Some countries banned plastic microbeads in 2017, so a lot of those face washes changed the formula from plastics to environmentally friendly materials. They do still make them though

New fear unlocked

My experience may be too anecdotal to take into account, so I understand not caring about my specific experience. But I do think it's a good idea to take life span into account, and from a quick google search the average lifespan of a Macbook air is generally 5-7 years (so really not far off).

Just something to consider that since parts aren't replaceable, OP would have to pay the full amount of a new laptop at that time

I am not very familiar with framework but I did switch from macbooks to a dell gaming laptop years ago and I am so glad I did.

The macs are ridiculously expensive, and even if you break just the charger it costs a lot to replace. My laptop now I was able to get for nearly half the price and it runs games and programs that I used in college better than the mac ever could.

Every mac I ever owned completely died in 4-6 years of purchase. They're basically guaranteed to not last a long time. My guess is you're better off with getting a framework

A form of therapy that helps you change behavioral and thought patterns to improve how you feel

I'm still confused by the need for blocking communities. Maybe it's because I use Sync, but I only subscribe to communities I'm interested in, and I use trending/new community pages to find new ones to subscribe to. My front page is my subscribed communities, so I am never subjected to all the other content I don't care about

Don't give doctors a bad name like that. They work their asses off to help people and go many years being overworked and underpaid to do it

It's the insurance companies that reap the benefits of people's misfortune

I skin the potatoes and use a ricer. They are very smooth and creamy, not lumpy. I actually like boxed potatoes, but fresh still taste 10x better

If you're going to get one, highly recommend getting 240V instead of 110v/plug and play type. 240V are the only ones that can really keep up with the heat and give you that real jet feel in the tub.

If possible, keep it somewhere covered. We have it in our covered patio, which allows us to get use of it in any kind of weather and prevents mosquitos/other bugs coming around.

Chemical balancing can be pretty tough, we mostly keep a steady supply of bleach around to make sure it's staying clean. One issue we had was the test strips never seemed to say the water was hard enough so we kept adding calcium hardner, but it ended up precipitating and making a rough coating on the seats (eventually we were able to clean it off). Ended up deciding it wasn't a big deal if some values are out of range on the test strips as long as the stuff to keep people safe is balanced (ie chlorine)

If homemade mash tastes exactly like the box to you, you're doing something wrong when you make them. I'm not saying instant is bad to have in a pinch, but having the dehydrated potatos in flakes immediately makes them starchier and have a more gluey consistency. Plus, there are tons of additives that definitely make it taste different from freshly cooked potatoes.

I disagree on this one, corn tortillas are really simple if you have a press. The dough is literally just mix masa and water. And to cook them, you just put it on a hot surface for 30 seconds. Meanwhile corn tortillas from the store are always so dry and tasteless, they're rarely worth buying

A24 is truly a diamond in the rough, everything they make is so unique
