Holy crap do they. Blood thinners so docs said no safety razor or regular one, picked up a highly rated rotary and the shave is just garbage as well as irritating the hell out of my face.

I only shave every few days but I still splurged on a Braun S7 because yeah, Norelcos plainly suck. I can't tell if they always sucked or have just declined in quality, my first one got my face pretty smooth but was very irritating but the newer one is garbo even with new heads. The Braun has been just as smooth without setting my skin on fire.

You can always try one of these, STR:



I already have new plates (got them without a police report, even!), just needed the police report in case they strap them on a car and run up $30 in tolls (which then turns into $4,000 with late fees while you're fighting with them over tolls, if you're in NTTA land... gently caress those crooks, so glad I'm not on their roads anymore). Which then winds up blocking the registration of any car you put a NTTA tag on once they realize it's the same person that "owes" $4k.

Oh, yeah, I feel for them. Having a bunch of fursuiter pictures in your Twitter feed is so much worse than injuring, killing, and incarcerating random citizens for trivial offenses. gently caress off, jack-booted thugs.

On a related note, from STR's linked articles on Sheriff Chody of Williamson County, I'm sure the guy's name is supposed to be pronounced "koh-dee", but I much prefer to use "choad-ee" in my head.

Yep.
In other words: correct for the car, provided it was first licensed in Hiroshima (I just went with where it was built.) I went into that in my personal thread, but kept it brief here.
The plates came from http://customjapaneseplates.com and I couldn't be happier with the service. They explain what all the text and colors mean on the site, BTW, for those that want to be accurate, but they'll make make up anything. The have a rising sun background that's pretty cool, and carbon fiber. Also the red stripe dealer plates, for your unregistrable show car.

I considered Gunma 37 お 63-887 and Gunma 58 よ 13-137, but neither of those is the correct generation.

I have started buying so many repop Japanese license plates. The quality is so good my broker messaged me in a panic asking how I got that plate because it’s game over if they ship a real one out of the country.

I’ve been rocking a Surface Pro 2 since my youngest was born I don’t see any reason to stop using it at work but the 10” 1080 screen is almost impossible to use when not docked.

I have a Samsung nvme/ another Ssd for the empty bay and 32gb ram for an upgrade with my new laptop. I’m taking a break from computers right now I’ll post when I do the surgery

The passing of time is meaningless. However, in the past calendar year I have learned the following things:

I don’t need alcohol to calm my anxiety
Alcohol makes my anxiety worse
Sometimes even if someone loves you, they’re broken and toxic to you
If someone makes you feel like poo poo :sever:
My mum and dad love me (I knew this) and they are very sorry for loving up my life (I kinda knew this) and it’s really ok to talk about how hosed up life used to be (I never knew this)

I hope y’all have a fucken great old time, staying at home and not spreading a dumb disease that ultimately caused us to learn a lot about ourselves. COVID real MVP?

Which is sure as gently caress NOT how 2020 started, hard to believe thats the evening half the east coast was on fire and the early hours of 2020 saw some of the most damage

Yeah, I got all my info from the Wikipedia article quoted in the first post of that forum. :)
The two plate numbers I quotes are for the FD and FC in Initial D. BTW, I don't think I realized that the FD was a 3-rotor until I really looked at those plates ("37" indicates a passenger vehicle over 2L).
