Logistics of binding on a seven day camping trip?
  • For me when wearing an thin athletic shirt, it only shows along the trimming over the scapulas. Maybe with a patterned shirt it would be less prominent.

    Logistics of binding on a seven day camping trip?
  • I don't know this compares to the "traditional binder" you are refering to, or other binders you have tried, but I have found the "Becoming" binder from tomscout to be really great. The material is thin and can handle sweating without causing a problem. I find I don't need to take too many breaks. The tightness is always a balance between flatness and breathing ability however.

  • I see a lot of recommendations for various services and products which are respect privacy, but I don't think I have seen any discussion around cell phone carriers (service providers). I am aware of some of the advantages of using VOIP as a phone service. However, if VOIP is not desired, what are good options for an US phone carrier which provides a physical SIM or eSIM?

    I am guessing I have not seen this discussed because phone calls and SMS texts come with inherent insecurities and can always be associated to your phone number. However, I would assume some carriers sell users data more heavily than others. If anyone knows some recommendations, or can explain what to look for, many thanks.

    Why I'm proud to stand trial defending the right to rescue animals
  • Best of luck! I hope DxE has a solid long term strategy for navigating the legal issues and also gaining public support. Otherwise people like you going to jail is not helping the longterm cause.

    Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group
  • There is no way for me to know if you are an expert or an otherwise trustworthy source of information on this topic. You are a random person on the internet, who did not cite any sources. I should not automatically believe any explanation you offer.

    There is no need to be condescending.

  • Well, aspartame is a sure fire way to give me a migraine, so I don't believe your explanation.

    [AskEurope] Fellow Europeans, what is the aspect of USA lifestyle that surprises you the most?
  • I'm not sure voting by default to one party is a consequence of registering with that party. Maybe some psychological effect.

    I'd say the main cause is the fact there are only two parties to choose from, so unless you are a moderate (or these days right-moderate) it is just a waste of time looking at candidates and their policies beyond party affiliation.

    The related issue is this: in some places in america, the primaries are run by the parties. So you can only vote for canidates (within a party) in the primaries IF you register with that party. In some races the primaries are the important part, because everyone knows which party will win the main election, so who gets the party nomination is basically the undecided part.

    [AskEurope] Fellow Europeans, what is the aspect of USA lifestyle that surprises you the most?
  • Have you spent time in rural or poor areas or the US? Try eating the local food. It's not good. As an american who moved abroad, I can say american food is just shockingly low quality. High fat and/or high sugar, lots of highly processed food. Very common attitude that "I have never and will never like vegetables". I mean I'd expect some people live off a diet like sugary cereal, soda, milk, wonder bread, mac and cheese, mayo, ground beef, eggs, candy, fries, pizza, etc. Keep in mind the most common vegetable that americans eat is the potato.

    That being said, it is absolutely not the individuals fault for being obese. I'm convinced there are effects that are hormonal, chemical polutants, or epigenetics that push the population to being fatter. The lack of education, and knowledge of how people live in other parts of the world does not help either.

  • Well, maybe typical for you and a subset of Americans. We wore shoes in the house as kids; we only took them off if they were clearly muddy.

  • I think your priorities are in the wrong place. Some women die if they can't get an abortion.

    How to create an Element Room with configurations suited for my less techy family?
  • I'm trying to do the same thing. I don't know if the room settings need much tweeking. But the biggest obsticle is having family members download, install, create an account, join a space/room, and change app/account settings, without my physical presence to help them with the process.
