Seems like all the higher quality packaged ramen is spicy. I love shin and shin black’s noodles but Im not always wanting that spice. Sapporo ichiban is fire but has gotten kinda old since Ive eaten so much of it

I saw costco sells boxed tonkotsu broth. Has anyone tried this? In considering trying it and cooking up shin ramen with it instead of their spicy soup base that comes in the package

Pics are of me. My hair is fairly thin, wavy, and low porosity. I like to style my hair as shown in the pics. I like to have a bit of texture to enhance the waviness of my hair, a small amount of shine(first pic is the max shininess I’d go for), all while not being sticky/thick and pastey. I like to still be able to run my fingers through my hair. These pics were taken when I was using Cremo’s low hold low shine styling cream, which has been discontinued. I tried the American Crew low hold low shine and thought it looked fine but I hated the smell. Ive heard good things about shear revival crystal lake but am not sure which product of theirs to get

For the past 3 months I’ve been doing the whole no shampoo/conditioner/products thing over on r/nopoo(I promise its not as disgusting as it sounds, you still wash your hair its just done differently). While I’ve enjoyed the feeling of my natural hair, I miss the texture I was able to pull off with product, especially with the flow on the back of my hair. I used to shampoo/condition daily and use the cremo styling cream, but I’m hoping to ease into shampooing once a week with water washes or maybe some cowashes in between and start using product again. Even when I shampooed almost daily, I noticed that the occasional times I missed a day or two are when my hair looked best.

Open to any advice

Ive been working on my living room today and Im realizing I’ve got a lot of stuff and not a lot of places to put it. Thats why things are just sitting on the ground for now. I installed the overhead shelf today and realized it can barely hold any weight without sagging. I was hoping to put a bunch of the books that are currently in the tv stand up there and also display the cover of that peanuts book. Turns out the shelf can barely hold any weight without sagging very noticeably so all I can keep up there are little thing, which is pretty lame since I intentionally installed it a little lower so that I had the space for those tall books to be up there without being too close to the ceiling

Would a ladder shelf to the left of the TV be a good move? Or maybe on the right side? I figure I could keep my plants, the salt lamp, pinecones, and maybe some books on there. Books aren’t necessarily a dealbreaker to have in the living room, Ive got the space for a bookshelf in my bedroom.

I know the arcade machine might be a turn off to some, but I like it and have it tucked in that corner in a pretty lowkey way. I installed a minifridge in it which I feel makes it feel a little classier. I like a little touch of fun

I have low porosity, wavy, short(about 4”) hair. Iv been doing WO for about 2 months and I’m liking it, and I know I’m still in the transition phase, but Im starting to get annoyed by how my hair can look a little oily even after cleanings. Maybe I’m used to the feeling of clean hair being me after using shampoo and washing with the extremely hard water in north texas. After those washes, my hair has no oil at all and very little moisture so it ends up all frizzy. I guess things may just be different now. I use distilled water to wash my hair and preen/scritch/BBB just about daily. I cant lie, I miss days here and there. I do shower cleanings about twice a week

This is my hair after a long wash 2 days ago and a heavy scritching and preening session last night. Its about 15 mins after a shower. I know my hair isnt too oily here but it can get a lot worse. 2 days ago at my run club a guy said he loved my gelled/slicked back look I had in my hair. Maybe its just the sebum and he was complimenting my flow, but his “gelled” comment kinda made me feel like a greaseball since I had nothing in my hair

Im pretty sure my hair is low protein. Its tough to do the hair test with short hair since i cant really wrap it around my fingers, so when i pull i feel like im just sliding the hair between my fingers. When I use rubber gloves the hair snaps pretty quickly though.

Im pretty overwhelmed by all the alternative wash options, even after looking through the wiki. Seems like i may not need ACV since my hair is already pretty soft. Rye flour seems like it could be a good option since it removes oil and adds protein. Thoughts? Any other recommendations for good alternative washing starting points for hair like mine? What exactly is an egg wash supposed to do? Does it even seem needed, or am I maybe just overthinking the new feeling of more sebum/oil in my hair?

Im building a little riser stand that a small minifridge will go on. This is the view from upside down. The base and legs are all made of 3/4” plywood. My plan is to use 2 #8 1 1/2” particle board screws for each leg, screwing from the top of the riser down into the legs. Im planning to make pilot holes. I know screwing into the side of particle board isnt the best move in most cases, but Im hoping it wont be an issue as I screw in the legs. I figure its not a huge deal since the screws are just keeping the shape of the thing together and not actually supporting any weight. I have a couple extra legs I made in case any split while I put the screws in.

Any advice? Any better approach I could taken I read up on pocket screws but I figured this project could probably be successful without them, and I dont have a pocket hole jig anyways

Ive done a few desk pals, but this is my first canvas. I started at the bottom and worked my way up row by row going left to right. Something that kinda bugs me is the occasional misalignment between rows and columns, and the small gaps that get made when I try to correct misalignment mistakes. I notice it a lot more when with the canvas than I did with my desk pals since the canvas is so much bigger and has so many more opportunities misalignment. Seems like something is misaligned it starts to throw off other rows too. Maybe I’m just overthinking things and being too much of a perfectionist. Regardless though, what strategies do you guys use? Any advice from people who have worked other canvases?

Im really not to savvy when it comes to internet related stuff, but I recently moved into a new apartment that is wired for AT&T fiber. My internet is working great, but when I plug in to the ethernet ports in my bedroom or living room im not getting any connection. What am I doing wrong?

Title says it all. I have a 60” wide butcher block desk and was planning to get a floating 60” butcher block shelf above it. I found a 2 pack of 72” wide butcher block shelves online that I may go for instead, Im planning to put one above my tv in the living room and 72” is exactly what I need there. Would it be weird if the 2nd shelf was above my desk, but extending past the left side of the desk 1’? Plan is to have the right side butted up against the corner of the wall.

Also I just moved and havent gotten around to cable management, relax. I know its rough

Not sure if its counted by 7 days since your last run or just whether youve run in general during each week

I really dont rip at my hairs or anything, but I use a small amount of force to pull cebum through my hair every time I preen. No yanking or anything. I really just kinda firmly run my fingers through my hair. I was shocked when I pulled saw this much hair on my hand. I never felt any excessive pulling/ripping out hair on my scalp, or anything even remotely close to pain in general. Not sure if the loose hairs sort of just clumped together as I was preening and all ended up on my hand at once, but this is the first ive seen this happen and ive been doing nopoo for about a month. Anyone else experience this?

Hey guys, ive been looking for a nice 60”x12” wooden shelf to put above my desk. Most options online are super expensive, but I was in my apartments trash chute area and found this piece of wood that has those exact dimensions, only issue is that its only 9/16” thick. I tried to use the sagulator but I honestly have no idea what this material is so it wasnt much use. I figure maybe I could just use 3 or 4 supports for it and keep some very light stuff on it, like some lego sets, pictures, and a plant or 2. Thoughts? If this works it could save me a ton of money. Best alternative ive found in the size is like $300 from pottery barn

Around this time last year or so I started growing out my hair and I love how it looks, I feel like the length really brought out the waviness. So far my routine has been using kirkland shampoo and conditioner just about daily, using Cremo low hold/low shine matte cream, and a few spritzes of sea salt spray. The pics above are some of the better hair days ive had over the past year, although the last one is a right after pretty mid haircut. Its tough to get it consistently as good as those pics, especially on humid days. Shampooing and conditioning make it tougher to get it how I liked it, unless the weather is perfect and I use the exact right amount of product. Best hair days were usually after a day or 2 of no shampoo/conditioner, but I thought it was gross to go that long without cleaning so those days were rare

Long story short, a few weeks back I figured out from a buddy that Id been shampooing way too much, so I started using less, cleaning about once or twice a week. That led me to discover r/nopoo, which ive been doing for about a week and a half. Its gotten real greasy, and that sub’s wiki post about using low-poo to fix that led me to this sub. Im realizing that this may be the better option for me. What do you guys think though? Its intimidating to see such a different hair care process, especially since so much advice here is geared towards longer, curlier hair and my hair is shorter and wavier. Does my haircut seem to align well with this routine?

Right now I usually need to use a bit more of the matte cream on the sides to keep them from sticking out, which is a bit of a concern for me since this routine seems to have much less holding power. I also worry that the back of my hair wont have as much volume as it does with my current routine. Is Gel probably the right type of product for me help me keep some of the hold/styling under control sort of like my matte cream does? Id love to hear any thoughts

I did a deep dive in that massive google doc and learned I had low porosity, fine texture, medium density hair(I think? Tough to tell with shorter hair).

It was on the porch where my roommate had some cigs and other gross stuff so i went out to move a few of those things and this lil baby flew off and went right up the the open door to my apartment
