And snake oil salesmen claim it cures everything under the sun: It's not safe or effective at all, and they haven't been allowed to out-and-out say colloidal silver cures anything since 1999, but that doesn't stop them from selling the stuff. "Alternative medicine" is BWM and BWL.

collidal silver is literally silver particles suspended in a liquid. https://nccih.nih.gov/health/colloidalsilver it hasn't been proven to have any positive health effects. i remember seeing ads for the stuff in the super old right wing/conspiracy/gun magazines my dad had like 30 years ago, including like, electrolysis rigs that you could buy to make your own. it's like electroplating, but in reverse, you just run a current through the metal into the water, and then drink it i guess?

Silver does have actual, real antimicrobial properties. It just doesn't work if it's suspended in a liquid and you drink it.

Interesting. In completely unrelated news, my father in law is no longer drinking regular water but super duper Kangen water, which is like regular water but without the acid(?) but you also set your wallet on fire while drinking it. It can also be used to put out wallet fires, probably better than that dumb lame regular water.

As someone who was once 25, I can see that demographic going long stretches without buying new threads, especially if you're already making good money and don't give a poo poo about impressing people If you're making that kind of money, there's a chance that you work in a setting where people (men) actually don't wear dress shirts more than a few times. I think its something about the collars not being the same even if you're only doing dry cleaning?

25 year old making six figures in Boston is just as likely to be working in tech or a startup where no one gives a poo poo about your clothes - or deliberately dressing down is a thing. That particular guy is a tutor, so I doubt he's churning through dress shirts either.

If the collars aren't the same you are buying super lovely quality shirts, don't know how to use collar stays, or your dry cleaner sucks. In TYOOL 2018 quality made to measure shirts that both actually fit properly and last a long time are relatively inexpensive for someone who needs that type of attire.

My drycleaner always provided plastic stays for free when I still worked in an environment that called for them. Although for everyday wear I grew to like oxford shirts anyway.

How about $12 for 40 stainless steel ones in 4 sizes: https://www.amazon.com/40-Metal-Collar-Stays-Box/dp/B00A7L8ZKE I know I'm probably getting old when I think "who the gently caress wears dress shirts and doesn't know about collar stays?"

I've actually had to explain what they were to several past girlfriends since they're almost entirely a men's shirt thing. Even some lovely dry cleaners gently caress up and don't remove them, leaving weird marks that can be seen on the outside of the collar.

But I guess that's a thing. I have a mound of plastic ones that came with shirts and/or from drycleaners and I can't see a reasonable way I could ever run out. I guess I could just start losing a lot of them. plester1 posted:Even some lovely dry cleaners gently caress up and don't remove them, leaving weird marks that can be seen on the outside of the collar. This is how you know you need to change drycleaners. That's inexcusable. It's basic poo poo.

Motronic posted:I'm not sure I've ever bought a collar stay......... As long as you know what they are for and use them. The stainless ones are just nicer and being slightly heavier do a better job, but nothing wrong with the ones that come with the shirts.

Yeah but you need a really inert metal like gold or platinum that won't oxidize and harm the fabric on your collar

Would those metal collar stays be strong enough to block 80kg of steel, dropped from about 8 feet in the air?

Do you prefer to rent the property that you live on or do you prefer to own the property that you live on? Why or why not? (self.personalfinance) submitted 5 minutes ago by JanePoe87 quote:Friends have told me that there are advantages to renting over owning. I cannot think of any advantages to renting over owning a piece of property other than the fact that it is easier to more out of an area and that you are not responsible for maintenance costs Congratulations.....you figured out two out of three.
