  • The cable can be snagged on things so it’s nice to buy a model where it connects with magnets. Unfortunately for longer haired folks, your hair can get snagged in this area.

    The actual experience is pretty decent, albeit slightly disappointing if you’ve grown accustomed to VR - but that is the price you pay for a much smaller form factor. Of course you can’t have a fully immersive screen, it’s “just” a monitor in front of you (and a fairly big one) - again for me, disappointment as I’m used to a 49" uw. 😅 For the use case given by the linked article, it would 100% perform exceptionally well.

    It was really nice being able to lie down in bed or on the sofa, and watch whatever you wanted from your phone. It worked with my Nintendo Switch in a nitro+ which made for better posture whilst in handheld mode. 3d mode worked too.

    I sold it because I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would, and the one I had had could do with some more improvements. I’m sure newer models will probably make it a more compelling answer now.




  • Oil pulling itself doesn’t benefit your oral health. What does is you taking a sudden interest in your oral hygiene, and rinsing very fucking thoroughly (often also brushing far more thoroughly too).

    Cut sugars (even natural), cut acids (anything sour, tart, fizzy - yes even sugar free pop!), brush with as high a fluoride concentration toothpaste as you can (e.g., clinpro 5000 or neutrafluor/duraphat 5000), floss and use interdental brushes, don’t graze, manage your gastric reflux and dry mouth… Taking on board at least some of these will improve your oral health.

    And for whitening, the whitening strips from crest/oral b work well if your teeth and gums are healthy and clean.








  • Some folks have noticed the service you get in the States is shit, unless the wait staff identify you as someone who will give a good tip. If you’re from an ethnic group notorious for bad tipping, you’re never going to get good service, and so you’re never going to tip well… Continuing the cycle. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    It’s not that it’ll clean better, but an additional rinse can’t hurt - especially if a utensil might have been crowded or rushed through the wash. Or maybe the waitstaffs hands are a bit suspect.
