All comedic silliness aside, well said. Good post. Reminds me I'm not the only geek here. All of us need to get a life, but I'm glad we can banter about minutia with each other. To your point, water composition can make a big difference in lather and can necessitate a change up how you lather. To quote an oft quoted saying around here "It's your shave. Enjoy it your way". FWIW my "ribbing" of the bloomers has been 100% for sport and amusement of all. I'm not bloomer-phobic. If anyone took any of my posts too seriously, that's ALWAYS a mistake. I may be geeky on this forum (and elsewhere), but seldom serious. It's just shaving.
New to me too! So, do they sell the stuff, (which would be illegal) or give it away? (which should be illegal.) Do the taxpayers buy the truck and the goods? Are these cops on duty?
It sounds like it might be interesting to quantify shaving soaps in terms of "water activity". Out of curiosity, how does one measure that quantity?
Um, dunno. Just googled police and ice cream trucks, hit the images tab and that's what came up. Having said that, opposing cops giving out free ice cream for community relations sounds like a stretch to me. Drug dealers give out free crap to get kids on their side of the game. Having cops give out ice cream to combat the stereotype that they are there to arrest kids sounds like a smart idea. Since several of these trucks have company logos on them I suspect the vehicle and the products were funded by those companies as a goodwill/PR gesture in their communities.
Dunno. You'd have to ask my lab folks. They just bring the "out of spec" results to me if we ever find an issue.
They get used to free stuff, (school lunch, housing, food stamps, etc.) they never understand the whole "work to make money and pay your own way" thing. And when a real ice cream truck comes around, they're gonna want that for free too, and if they don't get it, they're gonna shoot the guy and steal the truck.
So to summarize you're against ice cream being sold by the police, ice cream being purchased by the government, ice cream being donated by private corporations, and ice cream being given to children for free. Got it. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
Sniff sniff....... That was actuslly funny..BULLY!! You have to have a damp brush. Soaking really only helps with boar. The rest just dip the tips of the brush and charge ahead. You are prolly right there. They will soon have a lawsuit to fight for getting kids fat. Slamming their blood sugar and such. Don't you have a pipe to pack somewhere?? I am mostly in the same boat. Not much of a public relations type with law enforcement. You want nice police????? Don't be stoopid.
Yeah, that pretty much covers it, doesn't it. If you want to soak the puck, or stand on your head, or wear your lucky jersey, then knock yourself out. Only thing I ever took issue with was molesting the language by using other words when you mean "soak."
I have decided to walk back on my soap test plans. The sun has glistened brightly in Headroomville this day. I have decided to just keep on my merry way with these glorious stanks which do not require such steep learning curves to use. Splash-em with a little water and whip-em up any way you choose and keep dumping the water till you are happy enough to just shave. No frills, no hassles,just pleasure.
