Where did you learn to drive?

This is right on that excellent tightrope between terrible and fantastic, which is the same reason I own the goon bike jersey.

I bought some scrap denim, fusible, and navy thread to reinforce my APC New Standards. They are awesomely broken in, way more comfy to wear than lounge pants or pajamas, but that comes at the expense of strength. After hand washing and reinforcement of the most stressed areas like the crotch :awesome: and key pocket, they should be good to go for a while.

What material is it? A blend I assume. I too hate cotton because it's the worst possible clothing material, and these are sweet and cheap. The fits all look pretty slack and loose though. How do they compare to Icebreaker?

EDIT: Found it <03gray/ 68blue> 85% polyester, 15% spandex <00white/ 09black/ 32beige> 86% polyester, 14% spandex

They are pretty loose, but tighter then like a Fruit of the Loop undershirt. They are super thin so I blast a bit too much nip to wear them alone anyway. They feel amazing and move super well under a polo or button up. Also they are cheap, dirt cheap right now.

I have never had an Icebreaker tshirt as there is no way I could justify one at $65. Which is odd as I have base-layer tops that cost around that but some the sleeves make it worth it :shrug:

If you ever find them on sale, definitely grab them. Best shirt I've ever owned, but I grabbed them at ~$40.

It should be noted that naegleria fowleri cannot survive in the temperature where I live. :smug: According to researchers, the chances of an infection is several thousand times more unlikely than a lottery jackpot. That said, sterilizing the water is recommended.

Not in my country. The only downside when moving from pure Bohemian source water out of granite mountains from where my parents live to my current living place was that it's directly pumped from the chalky ground which means it's pretty heavy on limescale. But zero chlorine (we of course get a yearly report on the water quality check done by the government).

Let's make few things clear:

1. This treatment is endorsed by the public health care system. They recommend it to patients with persistent symptoms.
2. The written instructions by the public health care professionals, which I was offered at the local hospital states "Tap water's quality is sufficient, but water can be boiled if necessary"

Pretty much this really. If you don't live in a stupid swamp with really lovely water there's no need to be insane about it. If you go swim in a lake or in a public pool you're going to get 200000x more bacteria in your nose. Using direct tap water isn't much of a problem if you live somewhere with good water and boiling is more than enough if you want to make sure.

I do live in Louisiana, which is where all those amoeba death things were going on. which is pretty much lovely swamp water.

I'd do the same in your position because I can't imagine it's possible to get worst water than what Louisiana probably gets.

Anyway, great buy on the neti pot. I don't use mine all the time, but as soon as I feel like I might be getting a cold/flu or if there's a lot of sick people at the school I teach at I'll start using it religiously. It made a huge difference for me

I live in a country where studies have shown that tap water potentially has 100 times less microbes than bottled water. That and there has never been a recorded case of a killer brain amoeba here either. So I do find it amusing when people freak about water.
