$20 portable razor vs $200 professional razor for shaving

What really is the difference? The 20 dollar one will work abit it does take quite a bit of passes to work and useless if I have a 4 day old growth. Will a $200 be much better or just a waste of money?

With Paris expected to hit 104-106F for the next few days....

Would they cancel or reduce stages for the Tour de France with heat like that? Mind you the all time high for Paris on June 23 is 93F... They are calling for 106F.

Suggestions for secondary Windows Manager on Ubuntu?

Want to keep Gnome but looking for a lightweight, ultraweight environment that plays very nice with Gnome and uses GDM manager.. LXDE? IceWM? Lubuntu's LXQT? Use Mint on my other machines but this one I have dedicated to Ubuntu.

Ventoy with Antix, question about persistence.

No problems booting Antix from Ventoy. But I want persistenace and was wondering if I could just use Antix built in tools to do that or do have to hassle with Ventoy extensions? What about using Rufus?

Is it possible to do a speedrun in a Mormon Temple?

I noticed there is a new (and stupid) trend called Scientology speedrunning where someone enters to dashes as far as they can get. Just curious if this would be possible in a Mormon temple or are they locked down so completely that it would be impossible to do?

I guess secondary question, how do Mormon temples get around building and fire inspections after they are closed to the public and declared "Holy" ????

Question about the Boys in Company C movie.

I'm not a Marine but I do have a question. The Boys in Company C is a Marine movie made in the early 70s, and had a younger R Lee Emery as a Senior Drill Instructor and introduces himself as such. Pretty good movie overall. I also assume that the short, puerto rican Staff Sergeant was the Chief Drill Instructor.

My question is simply this, would recruits right off the bus met their senior and chief drill instructors at the time or would they have had a processing sargeant until getting cleared through medical? And the chief DI appears to be very active in their training, grabbing their nuts, and such... Do Chief DI's do this or are they more in the background type of enlisted leader who just supervises their senior DI under them and others?

FInd me a distro that works well in VirtualBox.

4gb of ram in the VB, 128mb video Ram (the most), 40gb hard drive space.

Which distro will run best given that graphics are always the weakest link.. Will Antix for example run more fluid then say Linux Mint XFCE or Fedora LXDE???? Or would a distro perhaps like Ubuntu that loads up more dependencies actually be better?

What happened to stem cell research?

This was supposed the latest and greatest thing 20 years ago. It was going to be the cure of all kinds of diseases, cancers at such.. Now you never hear of it at all and appears no progress at all has been made. So the "no" stupid question, is why?

Republicans introduce bill to allow cameras at red lights for big time money grab after promising for decades not to do so.

https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/bill-red-light-cameras/101-b945c592-596b-44eb-bd67-f4110ca711d5

If passed, the bill would allow red light cameras at intersections statewide, with drivers receiving $100 fines through the mail.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A new bill could allow cities and towns to use red light cameras to issue traffic fines through the mail for drivers who run a red light. 

House Bill 5600, introduced by Rep. Weston Newton and other lawmakers, would authorize the state to adopt ordinances for “the civil enforcement of traffic violations by means of traffic-control signal monitoring systems,” according to the bill text.

Pamela Evette, love her or hate her, has completely destroyed the Nancy Mace campaign. No one is talking about the Mace campaign anymore. She's dead.

her speaking at SC State, brilliant piece of marketing set up by segregationist McMaster,, even if she gets booed off the stage, it's a win-win for her in the republican primary. She has gone from a Lt Gov no one knew to a name everyone now knows. Her campaign ads with out of context quotes from Trump, has been brilliant.

It's probably going to be Alan Wilson vs Pamela Evette in a run off. God help us.

Should I vote in the democratic primary, which has almost no choices or should I vote in the republican primary to vote against Lindsey Graham and Pamela Evette?? If I choose to vote in the democratic primary, can I still vote in the governor runoff which is almost certain to happen?
