Is this viable? Asking for a friend
  • An old coworker of mine at some part-time gig went to school and studied "Mortuary Science". Absolutely fascinated me. He had a second job at a crematorium where he was an apprentice.

    After him telling me that, I realized that I never thought about how someone got into that field. Never really considered someone going to school to do this as a career (which now I realize is obvious, but I never connected the dots).

    Always assumed people working at a crematorium or a cemetery was a cliche old decrepit guy.

  • Why you almost never see a clock at the mall
  • Yeah around me I see they are trying to reinvent themselves. Usually have other entertainment options (movie theaters, bowling, arcade) or restaurants (true "sit-down" restaurants, not the food courts) attached to them now. Where before they were solely filled with retail stores.

  • What common grocery item(s) is it absolutely fine to buy the cheap/unbranded version of?
  • I guess you need to define "fine". Most things are fine to buy but some name brand items are, in my opinion, worth spending more on.

    For example, for me it's certain condiments and spices. Red pepper flakes by a name brand such as McCormick just taste better and have a more potent flavor. Buying a generic brand is just "fine" - it gives a good kick to food - but it doesn't nearly taste the same or is as flavorful as the name brand. In my opinion!

  • How often do you change your razor blade?

    I'm a Male who doesn't have a thick beard or much facial hair. At best, I get a small stubble on my cheeks, where my moustache can grow a bit more. I can easily shave my cheeks without any cream or prep, moustache I'd generally have to soften up the hairs for a good shave.

    Generally, I use the razor for a few "shaves" which can last a few weeks. Since there isn't much hair, it doesn't dull as easily. I'll change it out after I feel its getting slightly dull or when I realize that it's been a while since I last changed it.

    Curious as to what others do or if there are things I'm potentially overlooking (e.g. hygienic reasons to change more frequently).

    Also - I recently switched to a single blade, straight razor.

    Documentary on wasps or hornets?

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know of a good documentary on wasps, hornets, bees, etc? When I search all I find are cheesy or "horror" movies (sometimes both).

    Was talking to a friend about them and realized I didn't know too much about the differences, so would like to learn more. I've read some good articles but it's different seeing them "in action".
