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?

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.

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.

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.

Yep that app is definitely not a privacy nightmare. No.

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.

You're seeing a cached version of the post from before defederation. Those comments only exist on your instance and the post will drop off your feed soon enough.

One policy can't do everything, and this is at least better than other platforms. At least it incentives improving housing stock, which the current system does not. Of course we still desperately need a capitol gains/wealth tax and a reform of our tax brackets to being them out of the 90s.

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.

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 600 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.

I suspect that may have something to do with kbin.social's federation not working during it's initial growth period. Lots of users joined up but could only subscribe to local communities. The more we embrace federated content the smaller the differences between each platform/instance.

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.

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?

Sorry I can't add much to your question, though I'm super interested to see other responses. What struck me is why you think it would be at all obvious to anyone else that you associate Sunday with yellow? What are your 'obvious reasons'? I'm genuinely interested.

There's no retroactive syncing. So a regenerated instance would start seeing any new content from the moment federation is switched back on. It's the same if you're the first user to subscribe to a community on another instance (from your instance). Until that moment your instance doesn't know the community exists but one a user subscribes your instance starts copying new content from that community and other users from your instance will start seeing that content in 'all'.

Pretty much except you should stop seeing any new content or posts from the defederated community. Old threads will still exist and effectively be unmoderated, but the comments there will only exist on your server. Any federated server will see the 'true' thread from the original instance.

I'd advise you post in more general communities for now. Lemmy is very new. As far as I've found this is the largest guitar community and the vast majority of posts get no comments. Best to build up this community where there are at least some people already than posting into an empty room.

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.
