People here saying single handle faucets must have much better ones than what we’ve got where I’m from, no fucking chance of getting the same temperature again after shutting it. And the middle of it is extremely sensitive, it goes from 10% to 90% in like the middle two millimeters, and I think the pressure of the hot water overcomes the cold’s so you have to turn a bit left and then right again to stabilize the temp.

For my shower, which is the one that matters most for me, I got a thermostatic one—you set the temperature on the right handle and the flow on the left one, and that’s it, perfect temperature forever. Even if someone flushes, which only happens when my sister is visiting because she doesn’t understand boundaries, it doesn’t change one whole degree for more than a second, only the flow is be affected.

As a side note my grandma’s bath tube some 30+ years ago (it had probably another 30 or more) had two handles for hot-cold, left and right, and then another two for the shower-faucet flow, up and down. It wasn’t as fine tuned as my modern one, but worked quite well. You would only open or shut without touching the proportion of hot/cold.

Japanese gooners instantly aroused.

Tin-lead solder is what you use to solder electronics. Don’t use it for pipes, tho, for that you want tin-silver.

Even though, knowing how physics works, putting anything in orbit with only a cannon is not possible, no matter how powerful it is, I wholeheartedly agree we should try it with Elon anyway.

When I pour my dog’s food I tell her ‘yes! This is super rich and tasty food for very small, and very good, and very beautiful doggies! D’ya see? It says it right here (it doesn’t, actually, it only says it’s for small dogs but she can’t read), see? There’s even a picture! But this doggy isn’t as good, or as beautiful, or as small as my wee girl is, is it?’ And then I have to pet her, kiss her on the fore head, and point to her plate and say ‘come on! Do eat it!’ Or she just would keep staring at me like waiting.

I recognise their username. It’s half sane takes, half absolute wankery with them.

It has many variations: ‘hijoputa’, ‘hijo de puta’, ‘hijo de la gran puta’, ‘hijo de la gran putísima’, ‘hijo de mil putas’…

Yup, but you forgot the part when the tip of the right femur went out through their butthole…

Not exactly. Citizenship, in this context of ancient Athens, did exclude women and slaves, but wasn’t related to wealth or land ownership. Basically, it was tied to the obligation of military service.

Democracy used to mean a form of government in which the citizens made the decisions. In opposition to aristocracy, rule of an elite, or a bunch of bastards owning and deciding everything. The meaning of a word can drift and change over time.

As the other commenter said you can wait outside. Also, if you let the water run in the bathroom sink until it’s hot it’ll be just a couple seconds for it to get to the shower.

It does. I’m posting this comment on the Mbin pwa on my iPhone, works pretty well.

And the widespread use of stimulants like coffee, tea, and cocaine.

Newlines mean nothing in c. You can literally write any program in three lines of c, if you don’t give a crap about readability.

I use to work retail selling (mostly) women clothes. At one point we had the same model of sundress with and without pockets. Every one of them that was watching or trying the one without got like super hyped and excited when we told them we had it with pockets. The pocketless one still sold better. And it wasn’t even a tight fitting dress, it was slack and baggy.

Small correction, the article doesn’t say he was going to therapy. It says that his mother was a therapist, I had to reread that sentence twice:

Neither his mother, a social worker and therapist, nor his friends

The mother, social worker, and therapist aren’t three different persons.

A rail conversion! That’s pretty cool, like in RttF2!

I didn’t know trolleybuses already had batteries back in the eighties, I thought it was a more recent development, that’s super cool too.

Also, that 260 is a fine looking bus, most buses I’ve seen in the last decades looked pretty mah imo.

‘Electric bus’ usually means a bus that relays in batteries to supply electricity to the motor(s). When, instead, it uses trolly poles (plural, it needs two) it’s called ‘trolleybus’.

The third one is weirder. It’s like a tram/trolley, but I don’t see any pole or pantograph to supply the energy. I’ve read about diesel ‘tram-trains’, essentially several trams or light rail vehicles linked together. Do you know something more about this last one?

placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa

One of these persons is not like the others…

Þat þorn should be capitalized þough.
