North America = back

+1 for messenger bags, I use one every day and have for years. Far more efficient than a backpack when you desire access to your materials, and much more spacious than a fanny.

Pepsi thought Shia LeBeouf was stylish... so I think we can easily discount any opinions on this topic.

If there’s one thing fashionable people value most, it’s efficient access to their materials.

White deodorant.

I hate it so much. Gets on your clothes no matter how hard you try. Is there any benefit to this style over the clear stuff?

[timun]

By "white deodorant" do you mean antiperspirant? If so, the "benefit" is in the name: it stops sweating, not just odour.

That said, I stopped using antiperspirant years and years ago, because the white goo stained my shirts more than sweat ever did.

Roll-on deodorant/anti-perspirant is the far superior application method, which has been known in Asia for quite some time, but for some reason the only roll-on sticks you can find here are all for women. I end up ordering these German Nivea sticks from Amazon, keeps my pits dry and doesn't leave any marks on my shirts

You know you can get that roll-on Nivea antiperspirant from London Drugs/Shoppers/Wally-world for, like, $5 a stick, eh?

Men/Women’s branding on stuff like anti-perspirant is one of those bizarre things I feel like nobody questions. It’s the same stuff, with one called “fresh breeze” and another called “arctic apocalypse” but guys will (as indicated above) pay almost 2x the price for the German-imported “men’s” version of the thing that is readily available everywhere but isn’t labelled “men” (especially funny in this case, because the regular version doesn’t carry a gender label at all).

I use Drysol to control my underarm sweat and regular deodorant for everyday use. At first I had to use the Drysol every other night. That went into once a week, and now I maybe apply it twice a month. Works like a dream.

It goes both ways from what I know. My significant other buys/use men's shaving gel and razors because the women's stuff in a pink can or with a pink handle costs more than the men's stuff.

Clear deodorants also have anti-perspirants though, no?

I’m thinking clear sticks like speed stik vs white deodorant like old spice.

I find myself opening them up and always looking at what it is. But sometimes the plastic topper obscures vision

my lovely wife lets me empty my pockets into her purse when we see a movie.

I've had to start tethering things to me. I have a wallet chain now, my sunglasses are on a leash.

I'd tether my phone to me if I knew of a way that was practical.

Did you get that little chain so you can wear them around your neck while you're playing Canasta?

For my reading glasses, yes

It's profoundly annoying that I can't wear one pair in the form of progressives cause my reading glass and distance classes have different prisms.

At least my sunglasses have cool Oakley straps.

Either way, that was an insanely hilarious episode of Seinfeld.

The Telus Spark science centre is like one giant grift. $7 to park (wtf? Theft- same as zoo, just stupid except at least the zoo has a train station to it). Bottom floor vacant as they switch to some Christmas thing- so dumb. So the only exhibits are wedged upstairs, and honestly for the size and price (Jesus) is nowhere near adequate. Then they have some cool robot ride- oh- sorry- that’s $10 per kid on top of our exorbitant entrance fees. So they have a kid playground inside, which is of course unadulterated chaos, but not bad. Not really science-y though. Then a playground outside (it’s cold as ####, we are in Canada). A massively overpriced cafe and then gift shop. The place is like one giant cafe gift shop playground.

How is this a science centre? You have like a handful of exhibits when the bottom floor isn’t available. Movie theater show times, showing movies that are 30 mins, and they have like 4 viewings all day? Wtf?

This place is overpriced garbage. Doesn’t even hold a candle to Vancouver’s or Regina. It has the facility and potential to be good, but it seems like greed and stupidity are overflowing there. 1/10 stars. F- grade.
