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.

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.

Wasn’t there a proposal to do something similar by using ships to blast saltwater into the air? All the cloud coverage and reflected sunlight, none of the acid rain.

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.

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”?

“Psychology worthless because brain is a computer”

See this? This right here? This is you attacking the choice of metaphor rather than the content.

Nothing good is going to come after an opener like that.

Yea, and nothing good will come from a shitty meme attacking a choice of metaphor rather than it’s content. Which is what you did to start. What a great picture you posted, is that supposed to represent the strawman you built rather than form any actual argument other than “no you’re wrong”?

The only real money in psychology is from marketing and advertising.

It’s a metaphor, my god. You want a less technical version? Neurology is like a farmer analyzing his soil to figure out it’s pH and NPK content to determine what crops will go best. Psychology is studying decades worth of Farmers Almanacs. The point is, only one deals with hard, definitive numbers.

I will grant that my view is a matter of opinion, but it is my firm belief that any science that can not answer it’s own questions with solid, irrefutable, numerical answers is an undeveloped science.

You may take that as an insult, in which case 1. It’s not meant as one, and 2. Get over yourself. It’s an observation. I’m not saying these fields aren’t important and won’t eventually develop far enough to have such answers, but as they are, right now, they are filled with deficiencies.

Because there are no hard, irrefutable, numerical answers, these fields inherently invite biased studies with conclusions searching for evidence rather than the other way around. And while this may not be the norm, it absolutely exists and can be used to justify anything. Then other studies cite that study which cites that study, and on and on. And since it can’t just be disproven with an equation, its much harder to refute and correct.

It’s educated guesses. Maybe some day they won’t be guesses, just like we don’t guess that 1+1=2 or that oxygen and hydrogen can combine to make water; but for right now, they’re guesses. And no amount of saying that’s offensive to those who study it will change that.

If we weren’t talking about a brain, but instead a piece of computer software, neuroscience would be digging into the source code to figure out how it works. Meanwhile psychology is like watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people demonstrating the software.

One provides answers. The other provides guesses.

The biggest lesson from neuroscience: Most psychology is BS and the entire field is little better than pseudoscience.

You mean exactly what the dingus in OP’s post is trying to do?

I’ve been following this since it started. The Mt. Pleasant city council pulled a lot of shady shit to get this to happen. People tried protesting, but they were silenced. This is the conclusion to a 6 year con that anyone with half a brain could have seen coming. An LCD factory? No one uses LCD anymore, it’s all LED. And you can’t just swap out a few pieces of equipment to make the switch.

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

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

The fuck is a distro? Linux bros can’t say a single sentence about how “easy” Linux is without using some terminology that proves it would actually take quite a bit of research for someone unfamiliar to make the switch. People don’t want to do that. They want an OS that works without having to take a mini CS course.

You really don’t seem to understand how big the gap is. The things you think are easy or intuitive are far from it. Most people can’t even figure out how to download something from GitHub, and you think Linux is right for them?

I wish more websites allowed random words as passwords instead of forcing numbers and special characters (but not THAT special character, you have to use one of the ones on this list).

People change their passwords by one letter or digit because they’re tied to these restrictive formats. If 5-6 random words was the norm, people would update more than just one character when needing to change passwords.

“poison navy series ruler handshake papaya” is a fantastic password.

“Ilovemygrandkids!123” is a horrible password.
