ok but its really nothing like salted caramel…

that salmiak is ammonium chrloride, not sodium chloride which is whats in salted caramel… and salted caramel is balanced between salty and sweet. I’ve had sweedish salmiak candy that is essentially a hollow cylinder of licorice that melts to a point that it dumps a quarter teaspoon of ammonium salt onto your tongue. no salted caramel comes anywhere near that, and for gods sake why would it

you dont mail them back all at once, you collect them and send them back in the envelopes they provide.

they are very, very light.

mail trucks go from my community mailbox to the city centre, then to the other hub whether or not my few ounces of brush heads are in there.

Nothing is perfect. Take biodegradable trash bags for example. There’s a higher carbon cost to make those than thin petro-chemical regular bags. You need to weigh up landfill waste vs energy costs with everything, but with more energy. Same with mining for lithium for EV batteries.

Nothing is perfect. This, I believe, is a better choice.

yeah… well maybe keep it in mind for when it craps out on you. or you could consider ditching it (while recycling the battery properly) just to stop buying new heads that’ll be around for millennia after we’re both dead

SURI. They’re made to be able to be repaired so you won’t have to replace it, and the heads are made with vegetable based plastics that you mail to them to actually get recycled.

The battery lasts for weeks and weeks, it has a UV sterilizing travel case and is the best electric toothbrush I’ve owned.

From their website:

Every toothbrush you’ve ever owned still exists.

Each year 4 billion toothbrushes are thrown away; enough to circle the earth 12 times.

Which is why we need to take toothbrush design back to first principles. If we can do our best to make each component reusable or recyclable, we can do more with less.

right yeah

I dunno, I’ve had good luck with Aldi and Lidl “Center Isle” power tool purchases. Thats Workzone and Parkside tools, a far cry from mid to high-end. If I use something enough that it merits a replacement, I buy the Makita version

you’re telling me you think this is better than the eponymous album

I can describe each movement in words if you’d like

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!! It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!!!

ya’ll buyin 11 month old creme eggs

just missing two crossed band-aids and a hairy pimple

I’m into using strikethrough instead of edits

when I read where they put the portal I had the exact same thought as everyone else who knows what town is like on o’connell street. why didn’t they just put it on talbot st

sure thing, but Morrocan Oil is an Israeli company thats a massive sponsor of the Eurovish

ISRAEL dude, fucking ISRAEL. Moroccan Oil is an Israeli company

jesus fucking christ

can you think of any other countries that the EU flag wouldn’t represent who were getting boo’d and are also home to Eurovision’s biggest corporate sponsor?

what about that kid on the front page of the new york times that bought a rose gold lambo and retired at 30… he made a police scanner app… no mention of how its been used to kill and rob and avoid getting caught. he’s pictured in the article weilding a flame thrower standing in front of his car, no mention of ethics.

I’m not pro police by any metric, but cartels 100％ use the app for murder and human trafficing, not a second thought, check out this 30 year old’s lambo

its dissapointing. he was a real 60s hippie. celebrities aren’t people we should look to for guidance though. Still sad. Ol’ wood

if you’re feeling exceptionally nihillistic this morning, sure :)
