The back? How do you do the back of your head? Any tips? Wife? I just got out of jail and I'm broke so I bought some uber cheap clippers and have been cutting my own for months now. This from a guy who wouldn't blink at spending $250 on a hair cut before he got locked up lol
Much easier if you're happy with a cut that simply involves running clippers over your entire head. I start by use a number 5 guard (can't remember the actual cutting depth measurement) and run it over my entire head for a base level. Then I use progressively shorter guards on the sides and back, usually down to a 2. I will then also use the 2 to clean up around my temples and hairline to get a nice clean look. As fo…

If your set is like ours, the numbers stand for eighths of an inch -- so the 5 is 5/8ths, the 2 is a quarter inch, the 8 is 1 inch, etc.

#195This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life. I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as…
I feel like google adsense or monetization in general was the downfall of all of that early web richness. When the web was first created, everybody got on and just started learning html and making things... because humans are creative. I did the same. I made fun websites with/for my friends. I loved geocities. Then after a few years, I was only concerned with pumping out crap content and how many pageviews I was gett…
Not having monetization certainly leads to quirky, genuine, and campy stuff, and having easy monetization certainly leads to crap. But having monetization has also lead to some amazing content and free services today that we never had before and probably never would have had.
Things like photopea.com which is created by one person would probably have never progressed beyond the very basics were there no ad revenue to be made.
Additionally, there are countless bloggers and content creators that create rich, amazing content and there is no way they would be able to do anything close to what they are doing if they couldn't make a living at it.

You had to go somewhere to find them. They didn’t just pop up in your browser all of a sudden.
Back in those days it would be mailing lists or irc or some the general/random channel of a niche forum. Basically the social media of Web 1.0.

Advertising partnerships were always possible with good content creators.
I posit that the ability for even the lowest level of content creators to make a few pennies hawking their crap is what has lead to the downfall of the greatness that was the early web.

I have a mirror like this one https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/rebrilliant-clemen... (Except mine was way cheaper, Ikea probably) oposite my main bathroom mirror. So facing the swing arm mirror I can see the back of my head and since it's through two mirrors the hand actually moves like you'd expect when you look at it.
I do the same thing but with just a handheld mirror. It's not that bad.

#199You can make some real music with this. Too bad there isn't a share button instead of a save button, it'd probably go viral.
Yeah it seems that you would be able to store the 'save' text as URL parameters - though obviously at some length it'll be too long of a URL (and different browsers have different 'max URL lengths' AFAIK).
You can pack more than you'd expect into ~4k if it's zipped and then base64-encoded.

Your paranoia is justified. If NoScript didn't exist I don't know how anyone could browse the web with any confidence.
I've been all over the Internet with an ad blocker and JS enabled running Firefox Nightly for years now with no issues.
The brain becomes the filter. "nah this url sus" becomes an unconscious reaction, like this fire hot.
