In India, no one uses canned gels/foams for shaving. Only recently they have made an appearance and people flocked to it only to realize that while less work, they actually suck for shaving purposes. I use shaving creams that my parents purchased from India and I can get a great lather but the creams were purchased in 2004 when they last were there so have expired. Not sure if it makes a difference but I have asked them to bring me back some when they come back in March. It's hard to justify a $30 shave soap when $1 gets me a big ass tube from of nice shaving cream from India. I don't spend enough time shaving to notice a difference I guess. I did however get the closest shaves with multi blade razors but they were typically accompanied by cuts and bumps leading to really annoying white heads. I got the hang of going with the grain pretty quickly but going against the grain for the final sweep was rather annoying as the multi blade cartridges are mounted on a movable head which adjusts to the contour of the face whereas the safety razor does not. More practice is needed I guess. I purchased this as a starter razor - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LYAQ9E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And a sample pack for blades as I don't know which one I like - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PZEHIK/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Figured that would last me for over a year as I only shave once a week (can go longer when exams come around). Any suggestions for shave creams/soap that don't cost too much?

Just shaved with my first ever safety razor. Almost as close as shaving with a Mach 3 but I think that better technique and less apprehension should fix that. Certainly reminded me of my grandfather shaving when I was a young boy so I can see how people can get nostalgic but less irritation and no cuts with it today so I'm happy. Things didn't go so well with a straight razor where technique and keep the blade sharp are more important but I think the safety razor is the happy medium.

What's in the boxes?

The allure of sony I think is in the ability to adapt glass from other systems. The image quality is fantastic. The new zeiss fe mount lenses are close to the Otus in performance. Can't be said for many if any lenses from canon or nikon. Keep in mind they came up with the first point and shoot full frame and a full frame mirror less body neither of which have a peer currently. As far as glass...pick any up and you can use it. Speedbooster adapters let you af with canon lenses.

Why does that steak look grey???

I didn't know you had such a long nose, Ric.

Lol who comes up with these monkey aspect ratios?

I've never really felt this compelled to help out. One of my classmates in med school did the entire Appalachian trail with this gentleman before starting med school and said it was unequivocally the best experience of his life. His companion on the trail is making a movie about the trail itself and well, here is the kickstarter page in case you are interested in helping out. Both guys are genuinely good human beings. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/153613343/appalachian-trail-film-the-long-start-to-the-journ *I stand, in no way, to gain anything from your donations.

Just kicked the respiratory physiology test's ass. And then class this afternoon got cancelled. Great start to the day.

Lol $17. Did not see that one coming at all. Seriously.

Damnit zach. I wanted to reply first

I just got Julie's girls a samsung chromebook. Was $300 I think. Fits the description of everything you require besides Microsoft office. Similar size and runs everything. Google docs does a fantastic job though in case she doesn't mind spending a few minutes familiarizing herself with it. EDIT - $310 with the 2 year drops and spills warranty. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LL9VDG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dang it. Just found out the new $630 dell 28" 4k screen is not IPS, but a TN display. Guess I have to wait longer for IPS to get below $1000. Got excited too quickly Here it is in case anyone is interested. Not good for gaming for graphic work. 4k resolution is available only at 30Hz. http://www.geek.com/deals-2/geek-deals-630-for-dell-p2815q-28-inch-4k-monitor-1582990/

To those with external monitors with MacBook airs - do you notice any issues with Lightroom/photoshop usage? Can the laptop keep up with the demands of an external monitor? I'm considering a 4k screen.

Braised lamb shank. SO FREAKING AMAZING.

I started with season 5. Matt Smith is almost as cool as Benedict Cumberbatch. All other doctors seem too slow. I enjoy fast, witty deliveries. The quantity reference was more for Sherlock than Doctor Who which has "longer" seasons. Hustle had 6 episodes and always left me wanting more. Sherlock takes that to a whole new level by having only 3/season. I wonder if the quality of popular shows like Walking Dead would improve if they didn't have filler episodes that didn't add anything to the story line (ie. the governor. Fuck the governor. Worst segway ever).

I made the mistake of watching an episode of doctor who and now I'm hooked . Why can't American tv be like this? I'd trade the number of episodes for quality in a heartbeat. Never saw a British tv show that I didn't absolutely fall in love with. The same can be said for only a handful of shows stateside.

I was playing around with some free presets I downloaded. Once the filter was applied I couldn't really get rid of the halos. I'll try to emulate the effect without the halos or the extra sharpening.

Unless he made the whole thing up to drive traffic to his site... Wonder if there is any correlation between the prices of the caps and their rating.

Alternate crop.

Someone tried tying up their hammock on the adjacent tree but the gentleman jerked up and yelled, "NO VACANCY!" Everyone in the area started rolling over in laughter but the gentleman himself was too inebriated to join in the fun.
