    Anyone Wet Shave?

    I just use either a close hair trimmer or a knockoff phili-shave sort of thing to get in a bit closer. I tend to look better with a bit of stubble anyway. They say girls like a bit of roughness to a man so who knows. Men certainly seem to have their preferences.

    589nm misbehaving - wrong wavelength!!

    I did end up testing mine, and it's rock solid stable. The wavelength doesn't appear to change at all and apart from rapid shifts between one or two modes, or even half modes, the dot doesn't even "wander" a tiny bit. My laser also prefers it cold, so a few minutes of runtime sees the output...

    Anyone Wet Shave?

    I tried various shaving foams and even tried without. I think it's more that my skin just dislikes having a sharp blade running over it cutting the hairs away so finely. I'm acne scarred from teenage years as well so my skin is like the surface of the moon to a razor.

    Anyone Wet Shave?

    I tried wet shaving for a while, and I even had a straight razor, but for some reason no matter what I do, wet shaving irritates my skin and I break out in blotches and spots. So I can only dry shave. I lament the fact I can't get a close shave any more, but such is life.

    Gave Facebook the boot - never felt better - anyone else?

    I was active on it but I think it was because it was the done thing. I'd only joined in 2011 or so (which in the grand scheme of things made me very late to the party) and it was after much convincing from a friend that I did it. I've been looking for an excuse to leave for ages and this was it...

    Gave Facebook the boot - never felt better - anyone else?

    Ped, I think this is the page I went to, and I then followed the "let us know" link. Like Instagram, it's an option well hidden and one of these things you have to do by literally googling "delete facebook" and following a breadcrumb trail of links. https://en-gb.facebook.com/help/224562897555674

    got a job

    congrats. It must be a nightmare finding a job these days. I am planning on moving across the country in the not so distant future but I still want to keep my job. I work in IT and 99% of what I do could easily be done from a home office, so that's the angle I'm going to come at it from. It...

    Gave Facebook the boot - never felt better - anyone else?

    A little over two weeks ago I gave facebook the boot. I fully deleted (not just deactivated) my account, and much to my surprise, I haven't looked back. At first I was more or less pushed into it; after a hack attempt on various accounts I hold, facebook wanted me to prove my identity and...

    589nm misbehaving - wrong wavelength!!

    I'd never thought of shining mine through the grating and observing the results this closely, I think I've got my tomorrow night sorted out! I do distinctly remember, my 594 always or almost always lased 532. You just couldn't see it, until you split the beam.

    Windows 10 slow?

    You need to jailbreak an iPad to get a cursor, and possibly to use a mouse at all. Having said that, mine is jailbroken, and I still could never see me using it as a faux-laptop. Are Android devices more accommodating of peripherals out of the box?

    Red or green: what's your personal favorite?

    green out of the two, although it's not my favourite wavelength. that'd probably have to be 589 or 594 i like it's complexity and the fact that it's really bright.

    Windows 10 slow?

    ^regarding your middle paragraph, I had thought that, when I bought my iPad mini. But I slowly realised I just seem to like laptops. Although I'm not as much of a power user as I use to be (I hardly even play games on a computer anymore) I still dumped a pretty penny on the MBA because I like...

    Windows 10 slow?

    The one in mine died about 6 months ago quite quickly. It had been fine and had most of is three hour capacity, and in the space of about a month it went from that to dead. I think the fact that for years at a time it was mostly used off the power outlet caused that. Its funny, now I have the...

    What music does LPF listen to?

    well I'm currently listening to the soundtrack from the video game Limbo, the music is done by Playdead. Other than that I listen to, well lots. A fair amount of it before my time, funnily enough.

    Windows 10 slow?

    my last laptop lasted me five years, is still pretty much fully functional, and if my £700 MacBook Air doesn't last me at least as long again I'll not be impressed. Are my expectations too high? I'm an IT guy too, so I know how to eke out performance and when to go easy on a machine ie due to...

    Where is the date of the topic?

    thanks to many of the above replies. this also solved my problem of, on the main forum page, not seeing the recently posted topic in any of the subsections. I thought I was going mad, and very nearly was until I got the layout back.
