I take as long and as hot of showers as I can because I know in 10-20 years, that will be a luxury. I also know that it’s pointless for me to try to conserve. If me, all my neighbors, all my neighbors’ neighbors, and everyone all of us knows made a pledge to use as little water as we could, it would be insignificant in the face of inefficient agriculture and corporate greed. Every one here could use over 50 gallons of water a day and it would still be absolutely miniscule compared to industrial use.

Anyone saying that water conservation should happen on an individual level is smoking some corporate BS. On an individual basis, there is enough water for everyone to live like a watery nymph if they choose to. It’s corporations that are overwhelmingly sucking up the supply.

So take your time in the shower. Don’t stress about frivolous uses right now. They won’t be around forever and taking advantage of them presently won’t do diddly to stop the future.

Once in the morning and anytime after doing something that makes me sweat.

It is near impossible for a consumer in the US to waste food.

This is because the massive amount of waste that’s produced by grocery stores makes any conversation of consumer waste a moot point.

In this instance, for example, if he didn’t use that Nutella, odds are it would wind up in the dumpster a few weeks later, still completely sealed and untouched by anyone.

A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

I only learned about it from the “Well There’s Your Problem” podcast. Can’t believe my school never talked about it. We did hear all about Challenger though as well as a few other disasters where the lesson was “If you cut corners, or take chances, people can DIE”

Anti-space/science rhetoric on the left.

A lot of it comes from people who are anti-Elon and are against everything he touches. So they become anti SpaceX. Then they become anti-aerospace.

They don’t understand, or even want to understand, the science and importance behind it’s advances. The thought process just goes Musk Bad>SpaceX Bad>Aerospace Bad.

Remember how in Interstellar, there’s that teacher who was casually teaching that the moon landings were fake? Like, society had reached a point where they cared so little for space, that they actively turned a blind eye towards its accomplishments or just straight up dismissed them? I feel like that’s the path we’re on. Because of people’s blind hatred towards a rich douche, an entire EXTREMELY IMPORTANT industry is becoming reviled through sheer ignorance.

Damn, wasnt that one of the last phones to have an IR Blaster?

There’s half an argument to be made about waterproofing, but it kinda falls flat when the waterproofing we get isn’t that good.

“This phone is IP68 rated!”

Oh cool, so I can go swimming with it and take it into the shower?

“Haha, no.”

Great, so glad we gave up a ton of features for this.

Thermal Camera.

They’re just so cool. Super useful for checking the effectiveness of stuff like insulation or heat sinks, and can be used to find hot spots you didn’t know existed.

I just have trouble justifying dropping $300 on something I would only get maybe an hour max of usefulness from before it sits in a box for years.

2 months later and there’s still not a satisfying answer. I would have hoped 1 or 2 apps would have risen to the top by now, but it’s still just a scattershot of people suggesting like 8-10 different ones. There’s no consensus.

I don’t want to download an app and get all set up only for development on it to suddenly halt. Then I’d either have to switch again, or be stuck with one that’s forever missing features.

Too many new apps popped up in too short of time. Some of them are bound to fail or be abandoned. Some of them are likely to have been hacked together by amateurs and contain gaping security or functionality flaws.

Does anyone have a suggestion with more substance than “I like this app because it’s the one I downloaded”?

I’ve been pretty happy with YouTube music. I got legacied in due to Google Music shutting down and thought I would hate it, but I’ve had zero complaints. Plus, it comes with free YouTube Premium, so I haven’t seen an ad in years.

The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

If by spice you mean ask questions that sound like they come from a horny middle schooler, then sure.

Ah, makes sense now.

When did we switch to that instead of CP?

The largest field for people with psychology or sociology degrees is advertising. They know how people think, how societies think, and are getting better at influencing both every day.

Can someone ELI5 why this is important? Is there something wrong with NVIDIA drivers?

Nothing. I’ve given up.

I am too small to make a difference, unable to convince others in my life to join, and the companies I want to boycott have grown so big that their brands are everywhere and it’s exhausting to try to keep track of them all. Plus, boycotts are pretty ineffective these days. Even in the most extreme cases, companies now know they only have to wait ~2-3 months before the masses stop caring and move on to something else.

Now I just live my life. I support causes I believe in, try to treat everyone I meet with kindness and respect, and do what I can to give myself and my family a happy, comfortable life. That’s all I can do, it may not be enough to save the world, but it’s enough to save me and those I love

Trans and busses and shit can cross oceans?
