Great excuse for Democrats to refuse to certify the electors from those states.

There was another thread in this, where someone argued convincingly that the Justice Department has the right, should they choose to enforce it.

My favorite photographer and idol! Nice to see him posted in the wild.

Fun. Ok, thanks for the info!

You want Upspin. I want Upspin. But Upspin never went anywhere (it’s at least 7 years old… ever heard of it?), and I personally believe that it was because it’s a royal PITA to set up, and because the tutorial had instructions that expected you to be using GCS. If you wanted to do everything on your LAN, it was even harder.

It’s got all the of the features you mention, and it’s really the only system that does what it does; I really did try in the early days to get it running, and failed. It still has the caveat:

Upspin has rough edges, and is not yet suitable for non-technical users.

and, at 7 years old, if it hasn’t gotten anywhere yet, I think it never will. Commits trickle in, but there’s really no significant progress in usability.

Read the mission statement. It’s glorious. And then wallow in despair that nothing else does this, and it’s a zombie project.

Omg. I must realized that, were I to do a search on PornHub, I’d absolutely find a video of this.

Still not sure Why it would be less painful than an Epilady. It doesn’t seem as if an electric tweezer would grab more hair than threading.

But, then, I’ve never had - not have I any interest in - any of these things. It sounds like you’re taking from experience, so if you say it’s worse, I’ll take your word for it.

Right! So, threading is less painful than waxing, and it’s clear why, but why is it less painful than those Epilady-style tweezing? Isn’t it doing the same thing?

You wouldn’t use an Epilady on your brows, probably. It seems like too inaccurate a tool; and maybe brows are less sensitive than groin-area skin. So, apples and oranges.

Does anyone even offer Brazilian threading?

Isn’t it the same thing as tweezing? Pulling the hair out by the roots? Waxing is partially painful because you’re also irritating and pulling on the skin. It would seem that threading is closer to one of those rolling tweezers.

I guess my question is: if they’re both grabbing the hair at the base and yanking it out with the follicle, why is threading less painful?

Good thing women have a higher tolerance for pain. Or so I’ve heard.

I don’t know. Women put up with a lot of painful stuff; threading doesn’t look like any fun, either. I guess it just depends on the individual.

For those not willing to do that, the Cyperus Rotundus oil looks encouraging.

Trump? Uses a fitness app?

That makes me suspect the whole claim.

After I responded, I did some more reading. It looks like Cyperus rotundus is the way to go. It’s quite similar, though: waxing, threading, or tweezing, apply the oil thoroughly, and then daily until the next wax; repeat a couple of times, and Bob’s your Uncle. Same efficacy, except Alexandrite lasers work only on dark follicles, whereas Cyperus works on all follicles.

How bad was it? Really? I’ve no experience, here. I’ve pulled plenty of individual hairs out with tweezers from various places; some made my eyes water. Is it much worse? If I were going to use an Epilady, I’d douse the area with numbing cream and go at it. It can’t be worse than waxing or tweezing, can it?

Am a guy, so my experience in this specific scenario is limited.

If Epilady is not acceptable, even with serious numbing, then I’d try the Cyperus Rotundus. The NIH report looked promising.

👍

Has this artist ever seen a baby

Is she sure she wants to shave? There are those rolling tweezing things which I’ve never used and sound like mild torture, but pulling the hairs out by the roots usually leaves things bare for longer, and there’s no risk of getting cuts; plus, with such pliable skin in that area, it’s probably less challenging to shave.

Or, maybe an electric razor? There are also hair removal creams especially made for sensitive areas, and things like Cyperus Routundus and Oleum Cyperus oils. The linked NIH study says Cyperus Rotundus is as effective as Alexandrite laser.

I’d try a lot of things before I took a razor to my bits.

Who do I write?

Ah, but the lovely smell of money covers up all that icky poorness.

Except this car is nuclear powered, and you don’t have to sit with a bunch of stinky commoners!

ntfy is in the app store, so you don’t have you side load it. I don’t know how many iOS apps use ntfy, but many Android OSS apps will ask you over which notification system you want to work.

I was just clarifying that this isn’t one of the XKCD proliferation cases. Apple and Google’s push notifications are proprietary and give them full access to your notifications. Unified Push is the OSS alternative, and this KDE enhancement doesn’t createa another one: it uses the defacto standard OSS push notification specification.

The fact that ntfy is in the Apple app store makes me suspect there must be some number of iOS apps that can be configured to use Unified Push.

Plus, I had gotten to a place where my tiling WM, tmux, terminal tabs, and vim tabs were all competing for keyboard shortcuts, and it was driving me crazy.

I admit, this is so bad that occasionally - and especially if I make the mistake of stopping to think about it - my brain freezes and I can’t remember the chord for a few second. What helped immensely was first kmonad, then Kanata, and finally a QMK keyboard. I use exactly the same keys for navigation, create, delete, etc operations, and only vary the layer key - WM under my pinky, tmux under my index finger. Helix has it’s own bindings and ways of managing windows that are different enough as to not really confuse me, and I don’t use terminal tabs at all, so it’s really only WM and tmux. But, yeah: a Helix split window, in a split tmux tab, in a split herbstluftwm window can occasionally get me stuck for a few second as I unbox all the layers.
