The fact that with Air Up you need 59.99 for free shipping and adding another set of pods brings it to 59.98 is so obviously intentional and would just put me off ordering.

@@waz84 Philips hasn't been a reputable brand for like a decade now. They spun off or sold off all divisions except medical devices. Unless you're buying an MRI or something, it's not actually Philips. Some of it is good, like LED lighting, some of it is notoriously bad, like home appliances.

Tbh I could well imagine that the average person employing an "expert" stylist to make their wardrobe doesn't mind expensive pants. But the whole idea of Stitch fix is weird to me. I could understand videocalling a stylist to help you make your style more coherent or find pieces that fit your taste or physique better than what you could find at wherever you've been shopping so far, but getting these semi-random and frankly rather generic clothing pieces sent to you, picked by a stylist who jever even saw a photo of you, that's just weird! There's no personality to it at all! I'm by no means into fashion (and certainly not into mainstream fashion), but I've seen videos if several different KZbinrs with very different personalities testing/advertising stitch fix and literally EVERYTHING I've seen looked boring and not like their personal style to me (sometimes like they've been put in a costume), even though most of them claimed they loved the style or at leadt some pieces. Idk, I find the whole concept of having someone else select your clothes for you weird. Whether you like it (and realize it), or not, your clothing style says quite a bit about you: - Do you care about fashion (and your appearance in general)? - Do you prefer looks, comfort, or practicality? (-> are you more pragmatic or aesthetic minded? Do you do handywork or rugged outdoor activities? Are you an outdoor or indoor person?) - What kind of colors do you like (bright, dark, bold, soft, colorful or neutral tones)? This can give a hint about whether you're outgoing and into party/action, or like calm activities - Do you like to stand out or blend in with the crowd? (-> extrovert/introvert) - Do your clothes promote interests/messages that are important to you? (Eg. Political messages and symbols, religious symbols, LGBTQ* colors, pictures/character from popular media) Tge clothes you select can say so much about you, even if you just buy five examples of the first trouser/shirt/etc. That feels comfortable and good quality:performance to you. So what does having someone else select your clothes suggest about your personality? That you have none of your own? That you're trying to look like someone you're not? 🥶

The difference between those with more money is that they have more than money. They have intelligence. They value purchasing something that is built to last. You buy cheap, you buy twice are wise words to live by. You don't become "rich" by making poor purchasing decisions. You become *wealthy* by making investments in products that have higher initial costs and almost no long-term costs. That logic extends to material purchases as well as portfolio investments. To have the narrow-minded, poorly thought out purchasing knowledge and foresight might be the dumbest logic I've ever encountered. Sadly, that logic is far too common in groups of people who open their mouths without knowledge of the subject and its nuances. So yes, it might be out of your price range or your limited patience with clothes shopping process in general- but the smarter financial decision in this situation would be to hold off on purchasing the expensive clothing items until you have saved up the correct funds to make the purchase. If that necessitates you buy one or two cheaper pairs to make do while you save, so be it. That's the nuances of purchasing something. Please use your money more wisely and you may not have such a contemptuous view of quality merchandise. (Disclaimer: Luxury brands such as Gucci, LV, Prada...etc are NOT clothing items that wealthy people would prioritize...ever. I am talking about brands that are in the higher quality market but don't rely on their brand name or logos to sell their products. True quality doesn't need to advertise, it sells itself.)

The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. Austin, you need to drink more water.

[@Cheepchipsable]

That seems like a lot. You get water from food as well. Many people simply will not drink water at all.

[@hellterminator]

@@Cheepchipsable Yeah, this is complete bullshit. Even the more sensible 2 liter recommendation is supposed to include water in food, which the entirety of the US population didn't understand, causing everyone to drink way too much water and then things kept spiraling from there. Just drink when you're thirsty.

The airup is really expensive for water bottles that arent even good. If you put the cap on it and you flip it upside down, lets say in a bag and thav bag rolls around in your backseat, the bottle will leak so when you take off the cap water will come out. So the water bottle doesent hold water well.

[@DragonoxForce1]

realistically those scent pods at 1.3 galloons would only last maybe 2 days (since the average healthy intake of water for a person is 1 gallon per day), but since they're a scent pod and not flavor one they probably last longer as the smell lessens over time as the scent evaporates.

[@joshadams2812]

I tried air up and idk if I'm dumb or not but it absolutely did not work. It just tasted like water

[@pvshka]

That gallon of liquid intake also includes the water you'd intake through food, so you absolutely shouldn't be drinking a gallon of water a day, unless you're working something incredibly physically intensive or in a very hot climate.

[@emptywig]

A gallon a day?

[@keithwoodcrest]

The recommended healthy intake for water is 6-8 cups a day. A gallon is 16 cups.

[@DragonoxForce1]

@@keithwoodcrest idk where you got that info from but it's wrong. Every health related website with a simple google search says: it's 15.5cups (basically a gallon) for men and like 11.5 (close to 3L) for female for healthy intake of water. 6-8 cups is closer to the absolute bare minimum intake just to survive, which really isn't healthy intake since you're gonna feel like shit if you don't drink more.

[@NotTheGuy987]

$3/day for the Air Up pods is wild. Just get the little "flavor enhancer" things from Walmart/Target/Amazon that have virtually no ingredients in them and you'll spend literally pennies each day for a better-tasting drink.

[@jordhan1]

the issue with airup is that the effects of the taste from the scent pods is very subjective for many reasons. i tried it, and some of the flavors tasted like vomit. other people have tried it and they swear by it. even if i did like it, i cant get behind it because of how wasteful it is. you are buying a reusable bottle with not-so-reusable pods. you have to purchase more and create more waste if you want the bottle to work as intended. and for that reason, i will never own one myself. just drink water.

The reason you would select what size you wear and whether it's too big or too small it's because not everybody fits in one size a lot of times they have to pick a size that fits them in a way they can wear even though they're in between sizes

[@djkiltech]

1:57 i gotta tell you... Of all the things you can get from manscaped, the crop preserver is AMAZING. I wear kilts, and it helps with sweat, chafing, etc. Also the newspaper is meant for putting on the floor, you stand on it while using the trimmers and then ball it up and throw it away. It catches all of your hair trimmings.

[@djkiltech]

4:33 NordVPN is awesome for one thing: I use my phone in hotspot mode for home Internet and then connect my router to it so my other devices have Internet access over 5g. The thing is... After 5GB, my carrier drops my speed to around a 1999 ISDN line (around 600kbps or 60kb/s) BUT for whatever reason when I'm using NordVPN my carrier seems unable to tell that I'm using hotspot data. Totally worth it to basically have home Internet for $15/mo.

The funny thing about airup was really similar to the final project I did in one the classes I took for grad class (before I dropped out of grad school); it was basically fruit smello-vision integrated to a point of sales machine for say, a boba/juice store since there’s a decent amount of research on the effects of smell on visual presentation; I’m pretty sure their whole product concept was backed by a lot of research papers Also as someone who played War Thunder/World of Tanks since 2014/2015 (and who’s never focused on late-game content), I dislike how much the advertisement leans heavily on later-game content with all of the modern tanks and planes, when these games started off as WWII-era planes and tanks

Stitch Fix is nice because it is putting you in nicer brands than you would normally buy. I had a friend that worked for them and loved it. The problem is that the average person isn't used to paying for that quality of clothes, aka $119 for a pair of pants. That is what you are going to pay for above average clothing. Think how Buckle has most of their jeans well over $100, they are a higher quality than the cheaper brands.

[@Captain-J-Amadaeus]

I literally cannot afford to pay that much for clothes, and a lot of people are probably in the same position.

[@Dbk416]

@@Captain-J-Amadaeus And that is entirely okay. The nice thing is, you don't have to choose to use the service. You wouldn't be looking into personal shopper services if you were not able to pay that much for clothes. You can also speak with the stylist when setting up the account to make sure they are choosing more budget friendly options. The whole service is fully customizable. The other nice part is you don't have to keep any of the clothes, just send them back. Then you can look for similar styles when you are shopping next and still not have to pay out a ton.
