Ok so tell me, I didn’t do research but might aswell sacrifice some dignity to get some answer for a friend in here:

1. You spray water up the butt… how does one prevent everything, including underwear, from getting wet?

2. What takes the dirt away eventually? A clean towel? The force of the water? Where is it taken? With the spraying water? Into the laundry machine?

I’m sure there is some excellent YouTube material that answers all my dumb wiper questions, if so please link it here for me and the other people stuck in the past. I feel like I don’t understand the 3 seashells…
Most bidets have an adjustment knob for the angle, and you’ll need to possibly move your tush too to line up the water to where it needs to go.

I would venture to bet that the vast majority of Americans have never had the opportunity to try a bidet, and wouldnt know how to use one or what to expect if they did. I know I haven't.

I think this is an education problem. And articles like this only serve to highlight the problem, not solve it.

In ignorance, spraying water at feces on a rear, especially with no way to aim things before hand, leads me to expect a mess being sprayed around the bowl at least, and outside the bowl if you don't have a good seal. Aerosolizing feces is already a problem with the flush, now we are splashing it around? And I assume you still need to use TP to wipe up, but anyone who has used toilet paper around water knows how ineffective it is at drying things.

I'm sure im wrong and theres good answers to all of these concerns - ive heard many proclamations of my savagery at not using a bidet over the years, but ive never seen these things addressed. Find a way to tell people how they actually work and I bet you would see a lot more movement. Put them in hotels or other places where people have a chance to give them a try.

Sure but they pale in comparison to ones that have heated water. The shock of cold water on the tush is worse than a cold shower.
How much money we can raise for transparently idiotic startups?
Most of the bidets--even super cheap basic ones--have a mode where they can flow water over the nozzle to clean it off. Regardless: if you shoot clean water through the nozzle you are momentarily maybe going to send dirty water at your already dirty body--so, no biggie--but then the water is going to run out of stuff to carry with it, and help clean you.
He's not right. The lawyer likely didn't have a legal leg to stand on, but may have caused a paradigm shift in this kid's life.

Why do you assume there weren't knock-on effects/consequences to his actions? Or that they were positive (set him on the right track) vs deleterious?

PSA: please use toilet paper and then use the Bidet.

Imagine if your face was smeared with toothpaste. You would first need to wipe it off before washing it.
> "Imagine ... "

Exactly.

Here in India we mostly use what's called a health faucet (or bidet shower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet_shower). Its lesser of an installation than a bidet.

>Here is a conservative think-tank using its existence as the premise for arguing against rent control: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/want-to-end-apartment-warehousing...

Your claim:

"Not if the investors are willing to warehouse units to keep prices high, rather than lower prices in order to sell."

Their claim:

"If it costs more to maintain a unit — and keep it in compliance with housing codes — than rental income justifies, it only makes sense to padlock it.

In other words, an anti-warehousing law would force owners to lose money every month — or rent a substandard unit at the risk of being in violation of housing laws."

Those aren't exactly the same thing. You're talking about developers/owners refusing to sell a luxury condo, whereas the "conservative think-tank" is talking about landlord refusing to rent a unit below his costs. Besides the difference between selling a unit vs renting it out, there's a huge gap in the middle between "minimum cost to the landlord of having a tenant" and "whatever the market rate for rent is". Even if we assume whatever the "conservative think-tank" said is true, it doesn't apply above that lower bound.

>If you raise rates on the buyers that do exist, you can cover these expenses.

Are you talking about renters or buyers? Your usage of "rates" imply that you're talking about renting, but "buyers" implies you're talking about buying.

Does being part wookie make a bidet less effective? I am asking for a friend.
We were thinking about a fancy Japanese setup (heated toilet seat, warmed water used to clean), but our toilet room isn't wired at all. It is a bit too cold where we are to consider an unheated solution.
But most bidets don't use soap? Such that I don't really know that this is at all comparable?

I'll also note that appeals to "did you fall in poo" are farcical and somewhat ignore the fact that most people don't bathe/shower every day. A practice that is surprisingly common in the US. (I gave a quick attempt to see these stats across all nations. Didn't find anything that looked good for comparisons.)

I'm personally not opposed to bidets. I also don't know that I expect to see a lot of benefit, though? Would love to know why our poo habits require so much more work than most animals seem to require.
This was my go-to too, I highly recommend them as well.

> they come with health risks

Professional sports inherently come with health risks. They are unhealthy almost by definition.

If someone wants to risk their well-being for achievement, fame, big money and/or anything else (which is crazy, but people do crazy stuff) - it is more beneficial for the society if it's all transparent and goes into scientific papers and not some anti-doping agency or court papers.
This is how I feel about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2Ko78NEI9A

Your poop smells. You aren't getting it perfectly clean. Some people believe they don't have to clean the lower half of their body, which is equally crazy.
I came to the conclusion that if the toilet paper shortages of the pan didn’t push us to a bidet revolution, it’ll sadly never happen.
For a pretty beefy vm running a relatively exotic database? Unlikely.

Many managed databases are a commodity, there is a ton of competition trying to sell managed postgres cheaper than the last company. More 'exotic' databases have less competition and they can make a higher margin.

If you are trying to min max your cloud cost you need to focus on cloud products that are heavily commoditized.
That is true. We had an outlet in all of our bathrooms (U.S.) — just not in a convenient location. So until I did bathroom remodels in each bathrooms (and made sure to put an outlet near the toilet), I had to use an extension cord.
Perhaps not, but without a bidet you're probably smearing it on your undergarments every time you sit, which have a tendency to aspirate the smell of fecal matter a little every time you sit, walk, etc.

Over years, how much of it is accruing on your office chair? The fabric of your sofa?
Agreed. I have both types and they are both fine. The one with heated water and a heated seat and different spray options is obviously nicer but the Amazon special does just as good of a job getting me clean for much less money.

Personally, I think an upgrade to something in $100 range is worthwhile. I've got an original Tushy (cold-water) model that is easier to control the flow. The cheaper Amazon models tend to be either off or a sharply aimed firehose at least with my water pressure.

> The modern eszett glyph usually looks like an ss ligature (long s + short s).

It is literally a ligature of the long s and z. This is unsurprisingly obvious in Fraktur, given the name, but you can see it in the Roman form ß: the upper concavity of ‚s‘ opens to the right while the upper concavity of ‚z‘ opens to the left (the bottom of Fraktur Z in both cases had/has a tail like g which is how you get the bottom part of the shape).

I still have a few books printed in Fraktur — each time I pick one up (which is not frequently!) it’s is very hard to read at first, but after a few pages goes back to being easy. Since this phenomenon takes a little “priming” it’s annoying to encounter a sentence or phrase of Fraktur on a shop sign or other short, random location.

Another commenter linked to an explanation of why a vowel shift caused “sz” to reflect “ss”. The character form and name are fossils (something I wish German retained more of — it’s one of the things I love about English).
1. Water is a focused stream and I still use a small amount of toilet paper afterwards. You shouldn’t be dripping wet.

2. The water takes away (into the toilet bowl) all the soil if done right, and the small toilet paper is mostly just for drying. But you’re still using the toilet paper.

Maybe there is a body type / layout difference? It feels incredibly straightforward to me but reading the comments you are definitely not alone. My suggestion would be to just try it a couple of times.
> meaning my hands -- which I use to touch things other people touch

Bidets aren't an alternative to washing hands.. you should be able to dry off without soaking them
Visiting Japan left me feeling spoiled. Every single place we went had a bidet. Every restaurant, bar, teahouse, mall, and the places we stayed overnight. The expensive restaurants had bidets that auto opened and auto flushed.

I have a bidet on all three toilets in my home, so it feels crappy (ha) to poop at a public restroom. It's just so unclean.
One would think, but they cost 2-5x what I've found just having it all redone in react costs.
One option to prevent this is to not run corporate spyware. But I guess for some industries this isn't an option.

I don’t see how bare metal is order of magnitude cheaper. ECS + EC2 would be 2x maybe 3x more expensive than bare metal. Add auto-scaling and tooling (VPC, CF, terraform, Systems Manager, etc) and difference can be zero if not negative.

> So, so many Millennials are confronting the end of their youth by performatively embracing youth culture, loudly declaring that the only music that matters is that which you discover on TikTok. They need everyone to know that they’ve spent the cost of a new Toyota on tickets to the Eras Tour.

Wasn't the Eras Tour designed to appeal to millennials, since they essentially grew up at the same time as Taylor Swift? This is such a bad example.
What? No. Other way around. Blast the ass, TP as a cleanliness check and for drying.
Not to down play the "what's possible", but it's important to note that bone strength depends on stimulus and nutrition just as much as muscular and connective tissue strength. Those athletes bones are likely far stronger than the average human of the same size without training.

the date tag on posts is not to indicate whether an article is deprecated vs current. presumably nearly every article posted is currently true (that's the "news" part). it's useful to hint whether it's interesting as a new thing, updated thing, or old but of current interest for some reason.

for the same reason that clickbait headlines draw you in, dates are good to wave you away.
Another Luddite take from someone who clearly doesn't engage the technology directly either as a builder or a seller.

If there was a std::unit_t and it was implicitly convertible to optional, tuple and pointer, I don't think that would be worse in terms of usability at all (maybe worse in readability for people who haven't heard of a 'unit' type).

As for the std::variant use case, using std::monostate is only a matter of convention there. You could use any of the other unit types just the same.
It's true, the party machine continues to churn out party candidates, and the voters are not given much choice. I left that first item blank in the primary.

But we all have this idea that our candidate will win in a perfect situation that the party will never give us, and while it's good to argue for choices, I'm skipping past the inevitable frustration. Harris was nowhere near my first choice, now or in 2020, but she is qualified. Realistically it's going to be her, whether we agree now or in a few weeks.

I agree that it's best if she earns it, but "earn" looks like something different to everyone and to some, nothing will be enough because their preferred candidate didn't win.

It also makes the baffling decision to make "bright black" darker than "black." Pretty much every other terminal colorscheme renders brightblack as a dark gray.

Indeed, it's a shame they gave it such a dumb name.
You're on point on this. It is the largest upheaval of things since the industrial revolution. The idea that most adults would work 9-5 with weekends off in a job that could be stable for years has not been the standard historically. People would work seasonally, fixed employment was rare unless you were a slave or a serf.

Right now today, and for the past decade, the reality is that two employees doing the same work for the same company for the same pay can have totally different living standards. For one of the employees, maybe half or more of his salary goes to rent, what's left after living expenses he tries to save for a down payment. For the other of the employees, his full time job is not even his main source of income. His main source of income is his home increasing in value every year by more than what he makes from working. He keeps all of his salary after tax, because he doesn't pay rent. Maybe a small fraction of his income goes to pay for the last scraps of an ancient mortgage on his home.

For the business employing these two people, it is the same. They pay the same salary, get the same output from their employees. They can't do anything about outside factors if they want to treat their workers fairly. This is also why they think "young people don't want to work" and such.

The industrial (or post-industrial if you want to call it that) economy is built around labour. That is completely gone by now. Young people growing up knows that working is for complete suckers and that a person has made some major fuck up in their life if their income depends on working.
The first comment I saw nailed it for me: in the 80's and 90's there was lots of investment in computers as the PC revolution took off, and the productivity gains were minimal. As with all new technologies, it takes a while for there to be macroeconomic scale changes to industry, and those changes aren't going to come without the up front investment. This article (and frankly, much of society) is looking at the ROI on the wrong time scale.
Absolutely, there is probably some jig to hold the mouse and do the break reliably in the same way each time. I knew a researcher that did research that involved killing newborn baby rabbits and he said that he hated that part of the job but kept reminding himself that he is working on a cure for very sick human children that currently had no hope of treatment. It was exploratory research so there was only a small chance of success and many years later there was success in a unrelated field so in the end his work was redundant - but he couldn't have known that at the time.

By my morals it's ok to kill animals for the benefit of humans, animals kill animals for sustenance and for now we are still a part of nature. In the future perhaps we won't need to and I'll happily support that. For now in order to get to that future we must do the unpleasant thing with an understanding that it should be not be done egregiously, gratuitously, or needlessly. Not for the sake of the animals, although that is a given, but for the sake of the humans involved in harming those animals as I think doing such things does take it's toll.
Long distances sports actually have excellent returns on emotional regulation, health and well being. Very important to modern day humans.
Official numbers for inflation vs actual inflation vs perceived inflation are very different numbers lol. Actual inflation and perceived inflation are much closer together and the official numbers are basically cooked up so people don't freak out. A 10% addition to my previous comment doesn't make a big difference to how people feel about the economy and inflation.
I’m curious, what do amphetamines feel like to you that makes them addictive?

For several months I took (extended release) dextroamphetamine and later lisdexamfetamine, because I was having a mental health crisis from a lifelong ignorance of ADHD(inattentive type), autism, and what was probably some sort of covid induced severe depression. This was in addition to Wellbutrin.

While I’ve not found them useful in regards to the ADHD, the amphetamines seemed to be highly effective antidepressants in my case.

The very first day I started, I felt something that wasn’t really euphoria, but more like a sense of wellbeing after months of daily spirals of passive suicidal ideation that would last for hours. But after that first day I basically felt no effects, other than not having depression. I didn’t feel good, I simply didn’t feel involuntarily bad anymore.

Other effects
-I was able to find a small degree of self satisfaction after working out (with a trainer, or it would not have happened), rather than it being 100% suck during and after, with the only motivation being intellectual. It should be noted that working out had no observable benefit towards my depression.
-I was somewhat more chatty if I had lapsed taking the pills and had started again.
-I think it somewhat negatively affected late evening drowsiness and energy levels during the day (made me more prone to wanting naps around noon)

Eventually whatever was causing my underlying depression seemed to resolve, so I simply ceased taking the medications since there was simply no reason to continue. There is no desire to take my remaining pills, it’s just nice to have a tool known and available should I get another depression flare up. A blended mocha is far more tempting.

So I’m curious what amphetamine addiction feels like, what do they do for you that pulls at you?
I always found this argument underwhelming. Using a bidet isn't the equivalent of washing your hands with soap and water as we generally do, it's the equivalent of holding your hand under the faucet. You don't get the soap or the scrubbing which are pretty important parts of hand washing.

That said, I have liked my experience with bidets.
As someone who has lived in Denver and NYC. I'll take NYC over Denver any day of the week. Denver is the least diverse city I've ever lived in.

There's like 4 different types of people, they all dress the same and have identical interests. It's as if Denver has a mandated uniform. There's 4 different types of restaurants that are all variations of a cocktail bar, dive bar or brewery.

The only plus is air quality and access to the mountains. However you have to drive through NYC levels of traffic to get to them. I could fly from NYC to Aspen faster than I could drive there from Denver.
Not just an electrical line. In a lot of new homes, they put it on its own circuit. The nicer models have tankless water heaters in them and can pull >12 amps on their own. That'll trip a breaker for sure if you've got any other high load on the same circuit (e.g. hair straightener, hair dryer).

What I always find interesting is middlemen businesses that don’t do any of the risky and laborious work, such as operating hotels and airlines and car rental businesses, earning higher profit margins and profits than the businesses that have to put much more on the line.

You would think the internet would especially be able to split the profit margin of these middlemen between the customer and the actual businesses that do the work by automating and commodifying the middleman’s function.
