  • I’m watching this show. I’m not a big fan or anything, but I like peasants and middle ages stuff. I could do without all the silly names and magic, but we don’t get many high production medieval media anymore. Anyway, I feel the show was edited to be released all at once on HBO Max but someone decided to put it out weekly. Infuriating. They’ve gone through maybe 2 story beats in 5 eps. Just let me binge my slop.




  • Yes, it’s mostly nostalgia bait. There are two main benefits for using a safety razor though. If you have a substantial beard they clog less; not an issue if you shave every day but that’s getting less common. And if you have sensitive skin they irritate less because you’re dragging less blades across your skin. I use a safety razor with the nicest blades I can get because my skin is like a 15th century noble woman’s.




  • My wife has an EV and I’ve driven and ridden in it just fine. But I once took a Lyft in one and the driver was driving it like a gas vehicle (lifting fully off the throttle and applying brakes), and I was pretty queasy by the end. You’re supposed to drive them like golf carts, with only one pedal unless you need to stop very quickly. You brake normally by feathering the throttle.
