do humans shed more skin when sunbathing?
  • If you soaked your skin then that is just dead skin cells. Pilling happens on dry skin.

    Lotion is composed of a water part that gets absorbed or evaporated and a fat or wax part that only absorbs into the very top layer of dead cells.

  • do humans shed more skin when sunbathing?
  • In skincare discussions what you experienced is called "pilling" and it's the result of putting on a lotion or skin product too soon after another one that was applied too thickly or didn't have time to absorb fully. The balls are dead skin and the dried lotion or sunscreen that has gotten gummy and stuck to itself like eraser bits. Apply your sunscreen a little bit thinner and rub it in well and it shouldn't continue to happen.

  • what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine?
  • Literally just pulled my daughter's high tops out of the washer. We unlace them and put them in a zippered laundry bag (cheap at most stores that sell Landry soap, look near the clothespins in the cleaning aisle) with the laced. Wash shoes alone with regular soap and a small amount of oxiclean on gentle with an extra rinse, cool water, smallest load. They finished looking very nice and we usually let shoes dry sitting out in the air on a towel for a day or 2 before wearing.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • The interview is a vibe check first and foremost. If you vibe with the team we will overlook other things in your application. If you made it to interview, we already think you're good enough so don't stress trying to impress or apologize.

    Managers are mostly people who get tired of watching other people do things badly and decide to try to do better. You don't need a special degree or any magic to be a good manager, you should like people though.

    Everyone is faking it to some degree.

  • Dante left out these circles of Hell
  • Missed 2 days of my anxiety meds this weekend, which caused me to panic and try to go to the pharmacy too early on Saturday to pick them up and forget to take my morning ADHD meds.

    I was a complete freaking out mess all day Saturday and half of Sunday. I'd forgotten how bad the two are when stacked up like that. And I used to feel that way around 1/3 of the time, I estimated 1-2 days a week I had some sort of panic attack before treatment.

    Take your meds, my friends. They are important!

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • DO are real doctors. Rarer than MDs because there are less schools but totally real docs. My Mom with 30 years nursing experience says their training is basically identical, but DOs are generally nicer.

  • Is there a Linkedin equivalent that is federated?
  • It's a sales website for my labor. Free advertising for me as the provider. I look for work and have resumes in other markets as well but why skip something so basic? And with the exception of the verification nonsense with my ID, everything told them isn't just factual information, it's stuff I want known, the opposite private information.

  • Are there any EV cars without any "technology"?
  • My 2017 Chevy Bolt is fully electric and has less fancy integrations than most cars sold today. It's got Bluetooth and aux audio in but you have to connect a phone with a cable for Car Play or Android Auto, it's got normal buttons and switches for all the car stuff too. It had a remote start until I ran out of free On Star months.

  • American arrested in Turks and Caicos over ammo found in bag gets suspended sentence of 52 weeks*
  • The casual implication here that a round of ammo in your luggage doesn't imply you are an unsafe gun owner is insane. Lost rounds don't just happen, they are a sign that the person didn't account for all their ammo and secure it properly. There's no reason to give these people a pass.

  • Sperm count fall could be due to microplastics, new study finds
  • The Guardian reported the dogs were from neutering operations and the humans from postmortem exams. Dogs get fed garbage meat meal but it's packaged largely in paper bags, metal tins, or only the big bag is plastic. Human food is often kept in plastic at every step and often heated in plastic too.

    The Scroll Of Truth

    I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

    The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."
