00:38:33 <Ampera> What the hell is the point of electric razors?
00:38:45 <Ampera> For me they are more irritating and less effective than just a hand razor and water
00:49:58 <mattinx> opposite for me - I get less skin irritation from an electric shaver than a wet shave, although a wet shave is closer
00:50:22 <mattinx> but you can also shave while sitting on the bog :)
01:08:20 <K> dunno, is it worth to bother with "clean" shave, really? i've fallen back to using only that hair-cut attachment lately, and noone objects or cares
01:29:11 <coppice_> or kisses
01:31:27 <K> kisses actually do happen
01:35:53 <coppice_> depends where you are kissing
01:44:43 <mattinx> coppice_: quite so
01:54:47 <Ampera> Whenever I would use my electric razor, my neck and face would get all red and puffy, and it wouldn't even remove most of the hair.
02:00:38 <mattinx> crappy razor?
02:01:21 <Ampera> probably, it's a hand me down, and a quite used one
02:01:40 <K> tetsuo beard
02:20:06 <mattinx> Ampera: oh, have you replaced the foil and cutter?
02:20:17 <mattinx> they need replacing after a year or two's use
02:20:26 <Ampera> I'd rather just use a real razor
02:20:28 <mattinx> cause they dull, same as any other razor
02:20:31 <Ampera> but no, I had thought about that
02:20:44 <mattinx> I'm sure you don't like shaving with a dull razor either :)

02:41:26 <DHess_US> I pressy much just use a set of clippers to shave now and especially in winter.
02:41:29 <DHess_US> pretty
02:42:26 <DHess_US> So I have that perpetual Sonny Crockett look but my gun is bigger than his.

03:05:01 <Ampera> well being MtF trans, I have a bit of a reason for wanting a clean shave
03:13:15 <mattinx> pretty sure a wet shave is going to give a closer shave than any electric razor
03:15:04 <K> yea
03:25:17 <Ampera> I have razors anyways, for /other/ purposes

05:23:59 <steve30> Ampera, I've always used an electric razor and found it fine. Never used a tradition one though so I can't compare.
05:24:48 <steve30> I've been using the same one for 8 years now though, so maybe its time for a replacement
05:25:01 <Ampera> I had been using one for a while, but it's always barely worked and irritated me to hell, but it's just probably worn out
05:30:49 <DHess_US> I used electric razors for a long time and was never satified. Then at some point I bought a cheap disposable when I was traveling and forgot my electric and I never went back. I just use bar soap as shaving lotion.
05:31:44 <DHess_US> My next step will be to buy a safety razor but since I use clippers now fo rmuch of the year, my remaining expensive 3 blade razor cartridges will last for years.
05:32:12 <DHess_US> I finally concluded that it was dumb to get close shaves in winter.
05:34:31 <DHess_US> That's one of the reasons Gillette has been having problems. They cornered the market in shaving with their expensive razors because they could keep retailers from stocking safety razors. But now with internet ordering, safety razors are available enough that people can buy them again easily and it is hurting Gillette.
05:36:48 <Ampera> their sexist bullshit doesn't help either
05:37:42 <DHess_US> They did that because they were getting desperate.
05:38:07 <DHess_US> Safety razors aren't going to kill Gillette but they will lose market share which is almost as bad.
05:38:47 <Ampera> of course they did it because they were desperate
05:39:37 <Ampera> this sort of horrible PR bullshit is what companies do when they try to look like they give a shit
05:39:58 <Ampera> but all they do is prove the more the minds, the harder it is to understand how to be a decent person

06:03:02 <Ampera> coppice_, sounds like a Gamble.

08:34:54 <cappicard> As bad as Starbucks... overrated and overpriced.
09:01:51 <rust_collector> shaving... I don't do that often, but I keep a bag of cheap bic disposable plastic ones, because they are open enough, so they do not clog up instantly
09:02:54 <rust_collector> I usually just use a hair trimmer, with the spacer thing removed, because I think shaving is boring
09:04:36 <rust_collector> Oh, and once again, I was chosen to reinstall windows for a member of the wifes family. I dunno, but people think I know something about confusers, lol

10:09:29 <rust_collector> her old machine was one of those early vista laptops, that were more specced for xp. She wanted a reinstall of vista. I asked and tried debian with xfce, and she did try it, but no...
10:10:48 <rust_collector> anyway, she got a new laptop for her (75th) birthday, my wife set it up, but then they all forgot the password

12:57:48 <Ampera> it's possible that it's overrunning how long an IRC message can be
12:58:57 <Ampera> if I should do something about it is a good question, though, because having it make a second message for overrunning tweets would definitely make it spammier than it already is
12:59:11 <T3sl4> doesn't look like it, unless it's bloated with formatting on every char, or something
12:59:34 <Ampera> well Java doesn't have that short of a practical limit on strings
13:00:06 <Ampera> I can personally exceed that amount of text
13:02:48 <Ampera> What's really strange is that before it managed to make longer messages just fine...

19:39:44 <Halcyon> Hey ibiza
19:39:59 <ibiza> I got disconnected by the NBN again... had a 14 day uptime, and they disconnected me at the port!
19:40:10 <Halcyon> As in, they cut you off completely?
19:40:18 <ibiza> Lucky, i got an nbn tech out the next day, but... 2hrs to fix it on-site
19:40:28 <ibiza> yup... disconnect me, and give someone else my port
19:40:34 <Halcyon> Wonderful :)
19:40:52 <Halcyon> This is what happens when you rush morons through a 2 day course and then send them out there
19:41:36 <ibiza> also left his test modem here....

22:21:25 <steve30> I just telephoned the doctor's secretary to order a prescription. Ended up with her having a big moan about some hospital procedures she's got upcoming. She seems very anxious about it.
22:21:58 <Ampera> That doesn't sound very professional
22:23:05 <steve30> Its OK, she's one of those chatty types. You can't really help being anxious in such situations
