so…you don’t bathe.
That is correct.
I shower. - Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 1 day ago:
No, but took me only 20s or so to walk to the bath and take one.
Also 30 additional steps and a reset of the get-up-counter on my fitness watch, so was a welcome reason to leave the couch ;-) - Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 1 day ago:
The one before was 5+ years old when its hose broke.
Did not look great but still ok in the end.
Might just be limescale? - Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 1 day ago:

Should they?
I would expect them to be somewhat self-cleaning when in regular use.Also: Bonus point because Iiteral shower thought.
- Comment on Can you power your computer by typing? 2 days ago:
l am a little disappointed as it didn’t dive into how to make it work nonetheless.
E.g. I am guessing the power needed to use my old mechanical keyboard at 120 key presses per minute (so 2 per second) based on needed force and travelled key distance to be in the 0.1W range.
Not a lot, but probably enough to power a officient microcontroller with a small LCD display.I am convinced that with the right setup this could be actually working!

Let me also introduce you to the concept of tongue twisters.
Or, to come to the point:
“Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better.” - Comment on Any guesses? 4 days ago:
Has quite probably the same root.
G-Wagon is short for “Geländewagen” which just means “offroad vehicle” in English. - Comment on Any guesses? 4 days ago:
That actually is very interesting!
I wonder if it is just a coincidence or if there is some kind of connection between the two… - Comment on Any guesses? 5 days ago:
l come from a farmers family in Germany.
I’ve known it from some equipment we used back in the 80’s or so :-) - Comment on Any guesses? 5 days ago:
Offroad?

And compared to the 10 year old titles on sale that actually work well and look great on 5 year old mid-range HW…

Oh no, don’t tell me another innocent term has been captured by the far right??
In this case, using it in apolitical contexts might perhaps be a good thing, though?
Diluting its supposed significance… - Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 3 weeks ago:
Well, I guess many one into such stuff, sooo… :-)

Do we have a DINgore sub somewhere on Lemmy?

This sticker will definitely give guys ideas… 🫣

Yes, actually it kinda brings its own kids friendly GUI.

My kids learned mouse usage with GCompris at the age of 4 or so.
It has very basic ones for absolute beginners with high motivation factor.
And the rest of the educational package is also great, stuff for all ages in there.
Also free, open and multi-platform. - Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 3 weeks ago:
Logitech F710, works pretty seamlessly for me on Kubuntu and Mint with GoG/Lutris.

Be careful with such analogies!
The topologists might discover this post and then flock here, discussing how many holes there are in a pair of pants or so…

Wow, that is actually really cool!
So maybe I’ve seen you on TV 40 years ago, as I totally remember the human chain!
I think it was the first time I heard of “Neu-Ulm”, and since then the name has always been somehow connected with the helicopter images of the protests for me. - Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 5 weeks ago:
Are these even legal in Europe (the part that is not the UK…)?
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 5 weeks ago:
l also had Chernobyl in mind at first. It was a big thing, as it affected life as a kid in Europe directly.
But then I remembered all the news stories surrounding the Anti-Pershing protests.
These were in 1983, the year in which humanity perhaps was closest to complete annihilation ever.Yes, the 80s were wild.

I just decided to use the classic variants from now on (by adding '\'s), just as in the good old days! - Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on "What is the oldest country in the world that still exists?" is a Ship of Theseus problem. 5 weeks ago:
These are actually really interesting examples.
Take Iran:
On the one hand the area were it is located has had organized societies occupying it for an insanely long time.
This would make it one of the oldest countries by this definition.On the other hand: when asked the question if the current Iran was the same country as back in the 1970’s, I would certainly say: “No.”
Occupied area and even some of the people might still be the same, but the cultural, societal and governmental characteristics have changed too radically to still be considered the same.
So, by this definition, Iran would be one of the youngest countries.I think that incertainty is what OP was getting at:
How much change do we allow to still consider a country the same as at a previous time in history? - Comment on "What is the oldest country in the world that still exists?" is a Ship of Theseus problem. 5 weeks ago:
Really relies on what you define as a “country”, and how those definitions might even have changed across time.
The US is probably one of the easiest ones.Enter Europe:
Has the German Reich with its king been a country?
Then what about the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which today is undoubtetly a country but has also been a part of the German Reich, following its king?Similar goes for other claims of age.
We have e.g. 3 “oldest” cities in my country, each relying on a slightly different definition of “city”. - Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 5 weeks ago:
First: Some UK teachers exchanged the analogue with digital clocks. This was only to reduce interruptions by some students (during a specific kind of UK exams), who had trouble determining the remaining time in the heat of the exam battle.
Secondly: The use of analogue clocks is taught at UK schools. What’s missing is the practice that former generations of pupils had. No more wristwatches, public clocks all but gone, and (what I am nostalgically missing from my youth) no more peeking onto parked car’s dashboards to read the analogue clock there. Times have changed, and this specific partially lost ability is not the schools’ fault. (Not to say that other things aren’t…)
Can we please bury that stupid old meme, as it has been based on some inaccurate buzz and largely giving a completely inaccurate impression of the topic from the start…

Thanks, that has been really helpful advice!
I will try to keep it in mind and rather re-mention the stuff that I refer to instead of using pronouns for the sake of clarity.
That will be hard for me, though. I do love my tapeworm-sentences with lots of indirections and implicit references… ;-) - Comment on Plasma 6.5 is out! Look forward to lots cool stuff 5 weeks ago:
Design as in “graphical design”?
And even if, they probably also weren’t comparing to Win11 design, I guess, because even that is inconsistent (and an eyesore on top…)
