super random question but does anyone know if Billie razors are any good?? I've only ever used those cheap disposable ones(but they get used like every day for a month before they're thrown away). Honestly I'm tired of having to do ten passes to shave a small area, not even getting anywhere close to having a close shave, and having to deal with my skin being furious and everything hurting afterwards.

I've heard Billie razors are good, but honestly I know nothing about razors and which ones are good. I have really sensitive skin that hates when I shave, but I can't stand the feeling of it not being shaven. I'm broke as fuck so something around or less than $15 would be great. I'm not a fan of subscriptions so I planned on just getting a Billie one from Walmart and getting the extra blades when I need them.

I like that Billie isn't a giant company and is women owned, and they don't push into the stupid beauty standards and don't pressure you to shave if that's not your thing. But if there's a better or more affordable option that works well, I'd probably consider that instead.

thanks! :QueerCat_Trans:

In the 1989-90 season, the Denver Children's Hospital released a set of Nuggets trading cards. On the front, each had the standard photo of a player. The backs were different, adorned with safety tips such as Bill Hanzlik's "Never put poison in your mouth. And if you see someone put poison in their mouth, you should get help right away." The set is one of many that were made during the 1970s, '80s and '90s, with messages about stranger danger, drugs, gangs and jaywalking. Defector's Dan McQuade took a closer look at some of the best examples, and talked to Hanzlik about his wise words. "I was a master of the obvious," Hanzlik says. "But it is good advice!"

That’s where the player’s stats and accomplishments appear, and where the bigger story of their career really rounds into shape: what they’ve done and where they’ve done it, how well and for how long.

Repair and Remain: How to do the slow, hard, good work of staying put by Kurt Armstrong

Let’s say time comes to gut and renovate your bathroom: I can help you with that—demolition, framing, reworking the plumbing, moving some electrical, installing some mould-resistant drywall, maybe some nice tile for the floor and some classic glazed ceramic three-by-six subway tile for the tub surround. Should take a month or two, depending on what all’s involved. And as for you, hey, for the sake of your wife and kids, I think you better quit the flurry of furtive late-night texts to the sexy young co-worker and cut back a bit on your recreational drinking because wine is a mocker, so goes the proverb, as if those Facebook posts of you at the bar last week weren’t proof enough.

Repair and remain. Work with what you’ve got. Sit still for a moment, take stock, make some changes. Big changes, if necessary.

The image shows two individuals standing barefoot on a floor covered with newspapers. They are holding paintbrushes, suggesting they are engaged in a painting activity. The person on the left is wearing denim shorts and has paint splatters on their legs, while the person on the right is wearing ripped jeans, also with paint on them. Both individuals are holding paintbrushes, with the person on the left holding a brush with a white handle and the person on the right holding a brush with an orange handle. The floor is scattered with newspapers, and a paint roller is visible on the left side of the image. The background is a plain wall, and the overall scene suggests a casual, hands-on approach to home improvement. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

The 4 Types of Luck by Sahil Bloom [Shared]

The 4 Types of Luck
In 1978, a neurologist named Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, & Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.

In it, Dr. Austin proposed that there are four types of luck:

Blind Luck
Luck from Motion
Luck from Awareness
Luck from Uniqueness
Here's how to think about each type:

The image features three white dice in mid-air against a dark background. The dice are captured in a dynamic state, with one die in the foreground showing a five, another in the middle showing a six, and the third in the background showing a five. The dice are illuminated by a light source from the upper left, casting shadows on the surface below. The focus is sharp on the dice, highlighting the black dots representing the numbers, while the background remains blurred, emphasizing the motion of the dice. The overall composition is minimalist, with the contrast between the white dice and the dark background creating a striking visual effect.

Start with the Jar: How to understand your capacity via Turtle’s Pace [Shared]

Optimism is dangerous, especially when it comes to planning our goals. If we underestimate the effort of an endeavor, we set ourselves up for failure. When we fail to meet our expectations, we can succumb to cynicism.
We must learn how much we can process to avoid the hope trap.

Domain, Duration, and Dimension

Imagine you have thousands of marbles to carry on a plane, and airport security released a new regulation that limits an individual to one jarful. If you don’t know the jar's capacity, you won’t know how many marbles you can bring and could risk losing your precious orbs!

The image features a clear glass jar with a wooden lid, filled with colorful, spherical objects resembling planets. The jar is set against a plain, light-colored background, which enhances the vivid colors of the contents. The spheres vary in size and color, with prominent hues of orange, blue, green, and red. Some spheres have detailed textures and patterns, mimicking the appearance of planets like Jupiter and Saturn, with visible bands and spots. The arrangement of the spheres is random, creating a visually appealing and cosmic scene. The jar is filled to the brim, with the spheres densely packed, showcasing a miniature representation of the solar system. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

The Best Programmers I Know
endler.dev/2025/best-programme

"I have met a lot of developers in my life. Lately, I asked myself: “What does it take to be one of the best? What do they all have in common?”

In the hope that this will be an inspiration to someone out there, I wrote down the traits I observed in the most exceptional people in our craft. I wish I had that list when I was starting out. Had I followed this path, it would have saved me a lot of time."

2 wirklich anstrengende Wochen liegen hinter mir. Ich hatte eine wirklich wirklich gute Idee und frage mich ob ich den Sprung in die Selbstständigkeit machen sollte. Wenn ihr was hättet hinter dem ihr moralisch steht und von dem ihr überzeugt wäret. Würdet ihr es tun? Trotz all der Sicherheitsbedenken?
Ich hab keine Lust mehr für Leute zu arbeiten die meine Arbeit nicht sehen...
