If you are not familiar with the concept of sleep and/or waking up you may want to do the same.

- Comment on They even do Price Discrimination on video games now 1 month ago:
I would say it’s not even that it’s “covert” but that it’s at least seemingly arbitrary.
All those other ones it’s clear what condition you may fulfill to get the discount or understand why you didn’t. This one is just a vague “the algorithm said so.”

- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
That’s… not at all how those work. It’s literally a roll of clean dry towel.
If the towel is wet it’s because you didn’t pull out fresh towel and just decided to use old towel for some reason.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
It has a clean roll and a dirty roll. Someone takes out the dirty roll and replaces the clean roll periodically. Apparently they typically have about 30 meters of cloth, enough for about 200 uses.
How often that is, depends on how frequently it’s used.
There are cleaning services that wash the cloth and swap them for you.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
I mean someone would still have to go and open it up, swap the rolls around, plus it wouldn’t work well since the towels don’t wind up cleanly in the cabinet and they’d still be wet.
If you’re gonna send someone in to do anything they might as well change the towels while they’re at it.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
A towel dispenser?
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
They don’t go around more than once… there’s a take-up roll and the clean roll. Of course it also relies on someone changing it when it gets to the end…
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
Eh, not really. Certainly not difficult.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
