I heard this tip that works decently sometimes.

If you notice it's dirty, don't conclude that you have to clean. Instead, because you're noticing, you should conclude you want it to be clean. That obviously requires you to do some cleaning, but it's something you want, not something you're forced to do.

Isn't rayon just cellulose? Maybe it's just labeled differently.

This idea that nobody on the internet is willing to pay for anything is outdated. Most people know that if it's not money, they're paying in data, time and/or attention. I much prefer paying with money, as do most people that use Proton, Kagi and other paid alternatives to free Google products.

Depends on altitude really. If you're higher up it's freezing meltwater, which might have a non-zero chance of containing disease carriers but it's probably extremely unlikely.

and it's not like anyone watches anyone else.

Unfortunately some people are creeps. The University of Toronto had to partially reverse their all-gender shower policy shortly after implementing it.

After the policy was instituted in 2015, several female students of the University of Toronto’s University College began noticing that someone was attempting to record them in dormitory bathrooms by holding a smartphone over the top of shower stalls they were occupying.

The more I learn about nuclear the less it makes sense. It's a great source of energy but it's complex and expensive to maintain. Solar, wind, hydro and geothermal are simple and becoming cheaper by the day. It's hard to imagine a scenario in which we ever require more energy than those combined could provide.

Didn't that turn out to be a weather balloon launched by an amateur meteorology club?

"Now listen to my story, yes listen while I sing Of days of old in England, when Arthur was the king, Of Merlin the magician, and Guinevere the queen, And Lancelot, the bravest knight the world has ever seen.

In days of old, when knights were bold, this story’s told Of Lancelot.

He rode the wilds of England, adventures for to seek, To rescue maidens in distress and help the poor and weak. If anyone oppressed you, he'd be your champion. He fought a million battles, though he never lost a one.

In days of old, when knights were bold, This story’s told of Lancelot. In days of old, when knights were bold, this story’s told Of Lancelot."

From an old TV show, you can listen to it here.

No idea whether that's the origin of the line, but it's the oldest occurrence I managed to find.

Except chiropractors also occasionally maim and murder people.

It has a Gold rating on ProtonDB, meaning it runs (using Proton) with only minor issues. And that's now true for most games.
