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.

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.

There needs to be a lot more studies on obesity and why it’s gone up so much. I don’t buy the “more sedentary lifestyle” argument. Our mobility hasn’t changed THAT much in the last 50 years, at least not enough to explain the absolutely skyrocketing cases of obesity.

There’s a big link between poverty and obesity. People in poverty tend to be more active due to more physically demanding jobs, so it feels like the cause has to be from cheap food. While a lot of people might immediately look to high fructose corn syrup, I’m not sure it’s that simple. Obesity rates are rising even in places that don’t use HFCS in everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some additive or preservative that started to get heavily used in the last few decades that’s had horrible, unintended consequences.

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”?

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

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?

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?

There is hope: we can cut our carbon emissions that are causing the warming.

Maybe 25 years ago. It’s too late now. There is no hope. We could stop 100% of emissions tomorrow and it would change nothing. We’ve entered the runaway train scenario.

The robots are creating art and music while the humans are working harder than ever.

Well you’re either claiming capitalism or communism has no history of genocide. I’m too tired to dig through your word salad to try and figure out which. Either way, you’re hilariously wrong.

It’s amazing how all these countries set weak goal

It’s can kicking. Make a promise for something 25 years in the future. Who cares if the country can’t meet it? You’ll likely be out of office or retired by that point. That’s the next person’s problem.

You’re counting the dream?
