> It is, however, hard to find these sorts of razors. If you go into a shop to buy a razor, you will almost certainly not be able to buy one - but you will be faced with a wide range of very similar cartridge razors. The double edged razor has become a product that you can only buy on the internet, and which you will only buy if you know that it exists.

So... I did buy mine off amazon; but that was mostly due to living in the rural areas where there wasn't much for shopping choices to begin with. With that in mind, consider this.

I was still able to find double edged stuff at the local store now and then too, but it was generally a Christmas gift item, and stuff like that. Or tucked away in the top corner of the bathroom section, where only the old fella from the early 1900's might be interested in looking for some Dapper Dan or something like that.

I can even find them in some stores like... I think it was Shopper drug mart?

But all in all, just going on amazon and typing "Double edge razor" or "Single blade razor" is generally enough to find what you are looking for and have in on hand in 3 days or less usually.

For context, I am in Canada. So this might be more of a thing for us here in Canada what with being able to find this stuff without having to go to a specialty store for it, like those fancy beard barber shops.

There is language changing with the times, and then there is people changing language just because they figure they should/can.

I have no issue with the prior. My issue is with the latter.

And anyone who speaks the language or uses it on a daily basis has all the right in the world to judge the misuse of it. If you have a problem with this, then please stop talking all together, because your opinions are worthless. It is not the random idiot who gets to decide how the rest of the world shall use a language when the rules are already set beforehand by previous people who created those rules via the long process of natural change; not the short process of morons making things up to please themselves.

Have a nice day.

P.S. Before asking stupid questions about words like fuckwit, maybe do yourself a favor and look them up. I wasn't sure what colloquial meant, so I did exactly that before typing my comment. You should have done the same. You would have found out it's a legitimate word, to some extent at least more than the 'rule' of using "" improperly.

Fuckwit: a stupid or contemptible person (often used as a general term of abuse).

You can thank Oxford for this, via google.

Which to a machine may as well be the same thing in either phrasing. You want something different from what you just listened to. To it, anything not 'that song' is different and 'new' potentially if also not 'just listened to' within a certain set amount of songs. Even without that certain set of songs being logged and considered; any picking of a different song from the last is verifiably random.

Think of it all like a deck of cards. Shuffle is apt in that sense. You don't expect to see double aces each time you pick through the shuffled deck of cards, but sometimes you do. Sometimes, you also find double jacks, queens and kings; in a row. Sometimes you don't. That deck could be shuffled by the worlds best trick shufflers. Still gonna get doubles now and then.

True Randomness is not really technically possible. At least, not with our current technologies available; and we have a lot of aces up our sleeves.

The best we can manage for randomness right now, is creating random strings of numbers to serve as the seed for new randomness. At least, if I understand correctly. If I do, then this is why cryptography is so damn important for us in the computational side of things. Network Security requires randomness.

> As for our initial idea to make an age-guessing game, we have guessed right 51% of the time. Pretty much what we had expected .

Yeah... you thought I was 60. Seems from the comments this is a common thing.

You might want to check your algorithms. But then again, you do say in the end of the results that you need more 60+ year olds to help make this more accurate.

Also, a bone to pick. You claim that people get less random as they get older over 25, with 25 being the peak. I would wonder if maybe that has some correlation with the brain finally fully developing from adolescents into true/full adulthood. (Remember folks, we do call people 'young adults' for a while in their 20's.)

Also, while you make that claim about people as they get older, I still managed to get a coin flip result that was 13% more random than others at my age group of 33. Or something like that. I forget how it was worded exactly off hand this moment without going and checking again in my history. My point here is this.

If randomness declines with age past 25, but my score at age 33 is 13% more random than others in the same age range; then is it truly declining for everyone equally or is it just some people more rapidly than others?

I think this maybe correlates potentially with the findings of the trend disappearing once the non-random data is removed. (The all heads/all tails results.)

Anyways. With all this said, I do agree you need some more participants above the age of 60. Have you considered using facebook at all?

Hate to break it to you, but 50mg is pretty much a common dosage for most people taking Diphen. At least where I lived over the past few decades... This is mostly due to the effect of 'if 1 pill is almost enough to do the job, then 2 pills should be adequate'. You see this a lot with people who take Tylenol and/or Advil. Tylenol overdoses are more common because of the frequency of acetaminophens use in other medications in combination with people taking Tylenol not realizing they are doubling/tripling their doses.

So having people end up driving on 50mg+ doses of the dryl is not uncommon in places like Canada. Pair it with a dose or two of pseudoephidrine hydrochloride as well, and you basically have a breath easy cocktail that might put you to sleep, or might keep you awake all night.

Ironically, whilst having terrible hayfever... Not taking Antihistamines at all seems to have had the most profound effect on me between the gen 1 and 2 meds. If I didn't know any better, I would almost figure I was having some sort of rebound effect from taking them in the first place. Which is odd, because I have been diagnosed with having Allergic Sinusitis, which triggers an inflammatory asthma if not careful.

I used 1st gen stuff like Chlorpheniramine and Diphenhydramine to start. Tried some second gen stuff not too long ago, and it worked pretty well too; but not as well just not taking any? It's weird. Meanwhile if I have an actual allergy attack, I keep Benadryl around for just in case. Because again, not taking any of these seems to just leave me without any allergies now? Or as bad at least. But Benadryl seems to still have some effect, where as I need a couple days of taking the 2nd gen stuff to actually get any effect; if any at all.

All in all, I'm confused now as to which I should even take considering everything in how my reactions have been to it all. So I just don't take any unless things are real bad now. Which they usually aren't.

Maybe I outgrew my allergies? I doubt it, cause I still sneeze around cats and stuff. heh.

It is apt that this is the number 1 question; because it is a very important one. I want to know this too OP.

As per the rest of your comment to OP; I agree with your premise. It's a good question to ask. I remember when Reddit was still new and Digg was the place to be for some random news. And of course let's not forget the countless forums that still exist today even in some cases. Digg still runs; but it's... not the same anymore. And so your question is quite apt, because the reason why I joined up with Reddit long ago; was because it had everything I wanted from both Twitter and Digg. Sort of. It's closer today than it used to be, but even if the UI is better or anything like that; it doesn't matter if the users are toxic.

And thus I wish to bring my own question into this fray for OP as well.

3. What's to keep your community from devolving into the same toxicity of any other community thus far? It may be sort of a same question different pile; but I think this particular matter needs its own special consideration.

To put it simply. What's to keep your community from becoming the next political soap box? What's keeping it to discussion only in such matters, and not full on agitprop via internet communities?

P.S. "Mods/Admins" as an answer doesn't count, since I think we can all agree that they can be biased.

That's not 'Outside' though. That's 'r/Outside'.

These are very different things. :p

Also... of course anything attached to reddit isn't sane. It has humans in it.
