yes ok… the gestalt is radically different, though. if someone had a salmiak licorice and was thinking it’d be anything like salted caramel they’d find that they don’t have a lot in common.
like pineapple on pizza is sweet and salty but I wouldn’t compare it to ammonium chloride candy

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
truuuust me she’s tried everything you can think of. I find it surprising that she cant remember right as in correct as in dominant hand but she cannot. its honestly a little baffling
I dont have this problem and thats tricky for me also
this is a very real condition. my wife has a phd in experimental physics and can NOT remember which is which. if she looks at her hands she has a trick (the L your thumb and index fingers make is the correct orientation) but say “turn right!” to her and you might have well just made the muted trumped voice from the old peanuts cartoons
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.
Ive been around a fair bit and Switzerland was the country I liked least of all the countries I’ve ever spent time in. Fucking shit hole (unless you value shopping for luxury brands. pretty amazing public transport, also)
yeah, we should cut down all the trees so people (like me) don’t have allergy symptoms /s
the study didnt exclude people with allergies.
right OK. the way you said this reminds me of my favorite poster on bluesky. Id say you might like this guy https://bsky.app/profile/cashlin.bsky.social
I"m going to need you to elaborate on whack
take your time with it. make that shit special.

fair enough, thanks for the response.
my ‘extra hands’ station w/ the two alligator clips to hold the subject, magnifying glass w/ led also has a holster for a hot iron, so I pop the hot iron in that after soldering.
the wire coming from the iron, whether it goes to a battery pack or the 250 eur smart battery is still the hangup for me. I build large things with nicrocobntrollers in them, so I need to soldier in super awkward places. a wire connecting the iron to anything is a massive liability.
Id be interested to hear how you get on with it though
I love my ifixit precision screwdriver, so I’d be a fan and would try this out.
The thing is once I switched to a butane iron (portable, hot in 20 seconds, awesome fire) I don’t have any interest in anything with a wire coming off of the back of it. battery or no, the wire being in the way is ass and is also crap
edit: maybe it doesnt have a wire?
edit 2: maybe I shoulda read the article before typing? 5 second heat-up time, wow… seeing as I am a fucking idiot and am also very tired, can someone who is smart tell me if the iron has a battery itself? the pack is for recharging the small battery in the pen?
ok dude
