My catch up post. Mostly not shave related.
Light Bulbs: I like the idea of LEDs, as they shouldn’t generate any heat if designed correctly. Having lived in some houses with very old wiring, low heat options are always good. I would be very surprised if current LED light bulbs can be recycled, except by a specialty company. Most recycling companies can’t separate metal and glass from plastic, which is the issue with all of the electronics and other items (like cart refills) not being recyclable.
K-Cups: Number one thought- Too expensive. It costs me less than 10 cents to make a pot of coffee at home. Too much waste too. See above on recycling. For me they are a means to an end. That end is delivering a lot of caffeine to me quickly. That said, I use them at work when I run out of the coffee I brought in my thermos. I run the same K-cup twice and get 24 ozs of coffee-like liquid. There are some companies that make ones that are 97% biodegradable, so when they end up in a landfill they have a chance of breaking down. Those are the ones I use.
Coffee Quality: I like black coffee. Strong. I use a Bun brewer at home because I won’t wait more than a minute or two for my first cup. I have to wake up before the rest of the house to caffeinate so I can be a nice person in the morning. We get coffee from World Market, and grind it there. It costs about the same as folders and Maxwell house, but tastes a lot better. I try to avoid coffee shops. Mainly because I am cheap.
Happy Birthday to @levelupshaves’s son and @norcalnewb’s wife.
Three people have killed a tub of soap in the first few weeks of 2018.
@mrchick,
@PLAla, and
@Norcalnewb. Be sure to tag me so I don’t miss yours.
Currently 5 degrees in Kansas. I grew up in Phoenix. I don’t like this. Glad most of you are surviving.
