Personally I think the bidet is the problem - you aren’t going through tp quickly enough. It has more time to fall apart.
All I got is try other brands and clean more often.
While you say your partner is unwilling to switch, there are still multiple ultra soft brands. For example I’ve switched from Charmin Ultrasoft to Kirkland (Costco). It seems just as soft, but it has less dust, its individual sheets are bigger, and it’s cheaper
Maybe build a wall ….
Are you open to moving?
My niece jumped on a video program in high school and is going to college for film. In both cases, industry connections were a huge part of the program, and she has been able to find a good amount of part time work to help offset the costs of college. She even has IMDb.com profile and credits.
From what little I know about the industry, this seems like one of those careers where connections are critical. Of course the problem is you’ll find only a small number of schools and locations with those connections.
I know moving is not realistic for most people so I’ll second the other recommendations about seeing what your school can do for you.
Unfortunately this will cost long-term impact that Trump won’t be around to see. The country’s reputation and leadership in scientific research are one of those areas of attack that are easy to destroy but can take a generation or more to rebuild. Combine this with trying to turn universities into propaganda factories and it will be devastating to our future
Automating bill payments had been such a huge change for my life - I was only sporadically able to maintain good habits but now everything just works. Minimal effort, maximum gainz!
But I’d also include
Thanks for the reminder. I put up whiteboards for my kids a bunch of years back, and all the pens are dead.
Of course, both kids are in college and I have no use for those so maybe the boards should come down
Generally you should have a way to directly test that mode or to temporarily “speed up time”. Perhaps you’d directly manipulate wherever it stores the “last activity time”
If you want to read it yourself, there’s an entire section. Table of contents ….

Did those actually provide any sort of social outlet?
That’s similar to the reason my company gives for having to be in the office but I work on the computer and go home. The only people I interact with are my remote peers
I guess mine was. I wanted to try it out, but I’m not willing to give away that much of my privacy to any website so it was pretty useless. There was literally nothing: fill out a form and I guess there are supposed to be emails of responses. I live in a major metropolitan area and never got any, but I refused to give details so that’s not a surprise.
I just thought there’d be something to see before I committed my privacy
I saw a video where a guy was claiming vertical solar panels can effectively generate more power more often. They can catch a little something when the sun is low in winter , or on the shoulder hours of sun-up/down, where traditional solar can’t, and they don’t get snow buildup
Does the wind blow year round? I’m imagining a similar case for wind, then you can say that for the union of these two sets, renewables are cheaper than legacy energy
Maybe bump that number slightly for places with hydro that can serve as a battery
Look at the other line on the graph. Solar alone, covering up to 60% of energy use, is already cheaper than gas in Las Vegas. Sure, other places will have their own lower numbers, but until we achieve this threshold, we’re just a bunch of reactionaries captured by current business owners. If anyone actually believed in the free market, we’d expect it to trend to that line
Hinge won’t even show a landing page with “privacy enabled”
In general, even up here in woke-ville, punishments have gotten a lot more strict for kids. There’s a lot more involvement of police, courts, jail. As a parent it causes me a lot of anxiety - whatever happened to school being a “sandbox” where a kid can make mistakes without adult consequences, without ruining their lives? Did that ever exist?
It’s never futile. Sure, Trump will never listen, never care about anyone whose not himself, never face justice (crap, now you’re depressing me), but what about Al the minion who do his bidding. I mean, they’re evil too, but going deeper ….
This all can’t happen without supporters. Maybe it’s voters who are low information or easily manipulated finally seeing the truth. Maybe it’s federal employees feeling the support to do the right thing. Maybe it’s law enforcement growing shame at how they’ve been used. Maybe it’s judicial branch standing up from being marginalized and corporatized, fighting back against legalized bribery and corroded ethics at the highest court.
The billionaires big bill was passed in the senate on a tie breaker. It would have take only one more senator to be swayed. Big elections coming up in a little over a year- your peers might elect someone who will actually serve them. Various states and cities, corps and law firms are standing up for what’s right: maybe you can get one more
I was hoping everyone would turn out for another No Kings event but I guess too many people complained.
If we can’t be proud of the mess we’re in now, maybe we can be proud of the people who speak up, who try to create change. Maybe we can hark back to our origins tearing down oppressive political and corporate systems. Maybe we can hold up the mythical ideas that used to unite us and fight to make them true. It’s our duty as patriotic citizens to set our country on the right path toward one we can be proud of.
At least some of that is tax rates. A few tweaks to unrealized income and losses, capital gains and losses, treatment of dividends, and we can step back from the brink of “financial engineering” and get back to using the profit motive for actual engineering. Basically repeal most of the tax changes since Reagan
I still think capitalism is a useful tool. But by are we letting it use us rather than the other way around?
Government was arguably created to establish a market, needed for any economic system to work. You need consistent legal structure, money, a way to do business.
But our failure is government getting owned by the market rather than shaping it for the good of their constituents. Let capitalism be our tool in a market that factors in externalities, fairness and that rewards work.combine that with a progressive tax system like what we claim, and things are looking up, with what seems like minor changes.
My town has a steampunk festival every spring, and this idea would fit right in
