    @Teri_Kanefield yikes, that's so messed up. Sorry for not saying it more often to help drown out that kind of nonsense, but I've really appreciated your thoughtful posts and educating so many of us!

    I wish we had a common, shorthand way to describe the movement to increase street safety, walking, cycling, mass transit use/availability, and density. Political polls often ask what issues matter most to you, but we don't have a common way to describe it to pollsters, so its popularity never gets detected.

    @timesandseasons "Vision Zero" is probably the most understood close term that politicians would know (and likely would get like minds), "Strong Towns" is great but only for those knowing the organization, and "Human-Centered Urbanism" might be more encompassing. I too wish we had a single banner word.

    @petes_bread_eqn_xls the standard fonts in the mastodon web make that statement even more confusing, and yes I totally agree.

    Microsoft ad showing someone praising CoPilot AI and how it helped them to turn on “Dark Mode” in Windows 11.

    I feel this says more about the awful UI, than the cleverness of the AI.

    @cmconseils several for entertainment, several for PaaS/SaaS stuff, many for modern life necessity (water, internet, phone service, waste removal, electricity). You could probably even argue taxes are subscription fees for government services.

    #til after Dark Sky went down (#thanksapple) a Water Resource Engineering PhD student in Canada created a compatible weather service API called Pirate Weather and another Canadian used that API to build a web app that feels very similar to Dark Sky's called Merry Sky.

    The 1% rule states that the vast majority of social media users don't post comments and instead lurk or just vote

    More broadly, it's commonly understood when you make an internet service that a small proportion of your users will use a massively disproportionate amount of your resources

    Are there any services you use where you're the 1%?

    Neblib,
    @Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

    @jenbanim there's a few users here that probably use an undue share of OEC's Tradle and Chris Mccormick's Rogule services but luckily that's mostly static. I imagine the 10-15 or so regular posters here probably do more than the 300 or so signed up, but it'd be neat to know - Who's using the most of this instance? I'd assume @petes_bread_eqn_xls going by follower count, or maybe a bot?

    I finally finished my initial pack of German made Van Der Hagen safety razors and instead of just buying another pack of one kind I got a huge multipack of many brands. Going to start with a 5 pack of Egyptian made Shark Super Stainless Blades tomorrow. The Van Der Hagens have been pretty great, long lasting (its taken me months to go through a 5 pack), and easy to use, and are easy to find in the midwest.It'll be interesting to see how they compare. #safetyrazor #shaving #saferyrazorbladereview

    Neblib,
    @Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

    #safetyrazorbladereview #3 Astra Superior Platinum, made in India. These were the thickest blade so far and held up pretty well. I needed a similar rinse cycle as the VanDerHagens, but they lasted about a week and half. Downside of the thicker blades is they were a bit harder to do detailing around the nose. Like Shark, simple cardboard packaging. Overall not bad, probably really nice for those with thicker beard hair.

    Neblib,
    @Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

    @kemotep I'm not sure of the material wrapping the blades (probably plastic) but the box containing the wrapped blades is cardboard. The Van Der Hagens came similar to how you described the Feather blades. I made sure this grab bag had Feather blades from @Slyence 's recommendation, looking forward to trying them eventually, especially knowing that you like them too.
