Do people shower before wearing bike shorts, use a bidet, or some third thing? What is the preparation process?
Whether you are putting on bike shorts, board shorts, or no shorts at all, always fully clean yourself after you poop and live worry free.

What is the company behind FLOCK camera's? And if I got a lawyer, could I put a stop to them for a while until the Supreme Court decided?

What makes a nice bum-swing on a woman..?
Well if you are being serious, it is the same for all people. It all comes down to peak kinetic biomechanics. A truly elite "bum-swing" isn't just random movement, it is a finely tuned performance of highly specific musculature.
The Gluteus Oscillatoris is located deep within the pelvic core and this critical muscle acts like an internal pendulum, creating a perfectly rhythmic side-to-side momentum with zero wasted friction. Bipedal Strut-Tenson when anchored along the upper thigh stabilizes the stride so the swing achieves maximum sway without throwing off forward velocity. Tensing the Sastimus Maximus is the primary driver of attitude. Rotational Quadricep thrust is responsible for that subtle, effortless flick at the peak of every step that makes the whole motion look entirely unbothered. Mathematically speaking, it’s just pure physics.
Or not. Cheers!

Is your next post going to be in a baking comm asking people if they have considered just buying a loaf at the grocery? Its an important life lesson to get early that its OK that other people have different tastes and priorities than you do.

How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"?
It may be hard to believe, but some people actually buy apple products because they like them.

Has anyone or anything ever passed the Turring Test? If so how and why?
Popular conception of the "Turing Test" is pretty inaccurate. What Turing proposed was a way of determining if a computer is thinking or doing something equivalent to thinking.
His test was not for consciousness and it was not simply chatting with a computer to see if it could convince you that it is a person.
What Turing proposed was called the Imitation Game.
I've modernized it a little but the premise is the same. Think of a game show where there are 3 people all claiming to be a brain surgeon but only one of them really is. You get to ask all three people questions and if one can trick you into thinking they are the real brain surgeon when they are not, they win.
Turing basically said that if a computer could play this game as well as any of the humans pretending to the brain surgeon, it must be doing something equivalent to thinking.

Is there room for Windows selfhosters?
Reply in thread
So true! I met a friend of a friend at a church social last week and he spent the whole time trying to convince me to try FreeBSD instead of selfhosting on Windows. I might try it someday but as polite as he was about it he just couldn't get the hint lol

How do I accept that everybody is lying or trying to lie to me?
Sales people say anything to close the deal. They don't care.

This is not legal advice but in California, the landlord of a rooming house (which it sounds like you are in) has the right to make reasonable house rules and "keep the windows closed when the AC is on" is generally recognized as reasonable rule. Its unlikely a court would side with you on this.
Keeping the window open in a room (even with the door shut) impacts the temperature and humidity of the rest of the house. Rooms within a house are not air tight when the door is closed. In fact, the airflow in a house is designed to circulate and mix all the air from all the rooms so that the AC runs efficiently, even when the doors are closed.

In your opinion is reading War and Peace the same accomplishment as listening to the audiobook? Why or why not?
One of my kid's schools had a wild debate about this for their yearly charity "Readathon." The kids get sponsors to sign up to pledge the amount of money they will donate for each book the kid reads during the readathon. Parents are expected to sign off that their kid really did the reading for all the books they put on their sheet. Other than that its on the honor system. They've been doing it for 60+ years.
The kids don't get any prizes but they do get certificates of recognition for various levels of achievement. It came up this year, that some parents count audiobooks and others don't. They have been doing it like this for ome years now but it was never discussed before. The rules don't say anything about audiobooks but they were written back when audiobooks weren't common.
We had some seriously intense discussions in the Parents Charter (the name for our PTA) and lots of people have strong feelings about this! In the end the agreement was that transparency is best so the form has been updated with one side for audiobooks and one side for books. For purpose of donation they are counted the same.

Personally, I don’t get why the solution to many of the issues people experience with Apple devices is to buy another one.
I'm not really familiar with this. My wife uses a macbook. She's had it for 6 years and I can't recall any real issues with it.

I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better?
My advise is to wear undershirts. Even the tank top ones will make a big difference in keeping your shirts clean.

Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible?
Sure but then you are basically creating an alternate web which is incompatible with the current one. Your browser wouldn't be able to load any js based sites and current browsers would not be able to load your python/lua based sites.
