  • Not every military action is an action of war. There are situations where rapid troop involvement is warranted.

    As a hypothetical, let’s say a hostile country attacks an embassy. There are troops at a base a mile away.

    Would it make sense to wait for Congress to convene, then go through all of the lengthy procedures to have a vote to go rescue our people?

    The act allows the president to react to immediate threats in a limited capacity, and specifies the process of how Congress can execute its right to shut it down if the president is full of shit.

    This isn’t commentary on what Trump is doing, though. But the fact is that the act itself is a limit on how the commander and chief can use the military.







  • No one can really answer this for you because everyone’s skin and hair growth pattern are different. You have to try stuff until you find something that works.

    For me, the process is this:

    1. After showering I use a dermaplaner that takes half of a safety razor blade to scrape my pubic (not my scrotum) area against the grain. The blade edge is almost perpendicular to the surface of the skin. This exfoliates the skin, lifts up any hairs that might be starting to get ingrown, and most importantly makes my skin very dry.

    2. I then use a Panasonic arc 5 to shave everything. Doesn’t take very long if I do it once a day. I’m waiting for the Arc 3 to go on sale, because the head on the 5 is just too big for the area. My skin basically needs to be ashy for it to glide smoothly (wet shaving with it didn’t get a close shave)

    3. Back to the dermaplaner to first shave with the grain at a 45° angle to smooth things out, then against the grain with the blade perpendicular again to lift the end of the hairs a bit.

    4. Spray it with an ingrown hair alcohol spray meant for waxing.

    5. Apply unrefined shae butter to the skin to moisturize and protect the skin.

    I shave in the evenings, so in the mornings I repeat steps 1 and 5. I used to throw step 4 in too, but it didn’t help enough to justify the cost of twice a day.

    The important thing to remember about foil shavers is that your hair and skin have to adapt to them, so things might be uncomfortable for the first few weeks. But if you do it every day and your skin gets used to it, the whole process takes less time than shaving my face does.

    I’ve also had good results with an epilator, but you need some serious pain tolerance, and you have to be careful your scrotum doesn’t get caught in it. It’s happened a few times to me, but it never caused any damage because the motor stalls as soon as it grabs it.
