Comment on Summer is coming. How long do you shower for?
wildwhitehorses@aussie.zone 1 week agoAre you new to Australia? Water restrictions have been around, off and on for at least 40 years in my experience.

No, I'm not "new to Australia".
The point I was making is that the "duration of our showers" is comparatively insignificant compared to commercial water use and wastage.
Data centres, for AI processing, needlessly waste water resources.
Growing rice and cotton on the world's driest continent seems a bit stupid.
Screwing the geology of the Great Artesian Basin to extract gas seems short-sighted.
There are FAR more pressing concerns than how much water we individuals use while showering. (Sure, there are some small towns or shires where this is a concern.)

Oh I agree with what you’re saying and upvoted your comment, But what I am saying is that we have had long standing potable water supply issues that have been around long before PCs where even a thing.
