You seem determined to take issue with the concept of a bidet. That's OK no one is forcing you to use one. The toilet seat attachment ones are super cheap and convenient. You don't have to get up and go anywhere. You just turn a knob when you're done pooping and you get cleaner than you can with paper. Feels good to be clean.

Like back to the arm poop analogy, if you for some reason were getting shit on your arm every single day, sometimes multiple times, then having to go do the shower soap towell thing becomes a hassle. Maybe it makes sense to have a special hose next to where you keep getting shit on you to make clean up easier.

It's a single wipe on clean skin. Much less paper used. No abraison. No mess. If you got shit on your arm would you be satisfied just wiping if off with paper?

What changed is that unchecked power and increasing public presence have caused his behaviour to become increasingly erratic, exposing him for the charlatan he is.

I use Dunlop strap locks and they work well. I like that the buttons look just like stock and can hold a regular strap if for whatever reason you don't have a locking one handy.

How did your warwick ones break? Can you share a picture?

Has it ever been done right though? A capitalist entity's mandate is to grow itself to extract maximum profit. It is obliged to become as unfettered as possible to achieve that. This is inheritly unsustainable and in conflict with the interests of society and the environment at large.

How close are the pickups to the strings? If they're very close try lowering them a bit. When they're too close the magnetic field from the pickups can influence the vibration of the strings and cause odd sounds.

What do you mean by > 'the humbuckers are starting to die?' They're just magnets with copper wire wrapped around them, they don't really wear out. What's the problem you're trying to solve? If it's quiet/scratchy/noisy you probably just have a bad potentiometer or a cold solder joint. If you don't like how to guitar feels then yeah something different may be in order. If you like the guitar but something about the sound isn't perfect then maybe different pickups will help, but your amp will have a much larger impact on your tone than different humbuckers.

I'm pretty sure the muscles are controlled by the same nerves/neural pathways. A lot of people can't shit without pissing also but once you have shat you don't need to hold those muscles so you can let loose. It's a bit like trying to wiggle your ring finger without moving your pinky or middle. Except with your dick.

Well-intentioned people: let's wait and see if #Threads is, for example, a privacy nightmare

Facebook: we're not launching in Europe yet because right now it would be illegal

Right so.

I have issues with the Green's leadership and naive infighting, but this policy could improve our housing stock, help kerb the cost of living crisis, and potentially stabilise our insanely overinflated housing market. All sorely necessary.

Talent is mostly a myth. You have to push though the part where you suck to get good at anything. Pick a thing and stick with it. Even 10-20min a day of practice and you'll see results. With music the hard part is getting to the point where you can just 'play' but you're young and you have more time now than you ever will again. Pick a thing and suck at it. Keep doing it anyway until you suck less. One day you'll find even though you still think you suck someone else compares themselves to you and is jealous of your 'talent'

This is the pcgamer website without adblock!

I discovered this this morning as I was trying out a Lemmy app (thunder) instead of my ad blocked Firefox and followed an article link.

In less than 800 words there were:

  • 3 full page ads to dismiss
  • an auto playing video taking up 1/4 of the screen that follows as you scroll
  • a sticky animated footer banner
  • and a half page animated ad between each paragraph.

Fuck that. Fuck any organizational that does that to it's product or has that level of contempt for it's users.

I support content creators but ad block is necessary for safety, privacy, and the overall usability of the Internet.
