  • So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn’t imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.

    After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn’t make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it’s perfectly room temp. I’ve never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won’t be buying one with a heater again…

    The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression “you don’t know what you go til it’s gone”?

    Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it “learns” when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.

    But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I’ll go and take a seat: instant sad. It’s not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)

    Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.












  • Yeah you are wrong. And your long lecture seems to miss the point.

    Of course shit was aweful then. The woman took care of herself, because the cops, and society in general didn’t give a fuck then and barely do now.

    I wasn’t even pointing fingers at those cops back then, I was pointing out the absurdity of the current detective/investigator/whatever he is when he so flippantly dismissed the whole ordeal as…

    “I think she just was removed and, you know, moved on from things and kind of did her own thing and led her life … She sounded happy. Confident in her decision, no regrets,” Hanson added.”

    How fairytale.





  • Is the “we” in this Canada or Mexico or something?

    I’m not following. If Trump’s incoherent ramblings are to be generously interpreted, he wants all production to move back to the states. Currently many countries, and states, have huge tax incentives and other government handouts to encourage filming on their ground. If they all go back to that states, the American Companies lose that free foreign money, and depending on how it all shakes out, states will still be paying out tax incentives. At least for awhile as the industry finds a new home.

    That’s all extremely hypothetical to try and understand Trump.
