Amazing quality of life upgrade. It feels like a million bucks to have hot water instantly. However, when I looked into this for my home it seemed like it saves water at the increased energy expense of heating your pipes, right? For me it would end up costing more than living without it.
Do I have this wrong?
Bought a new keyboard a few weeks ago. Had function keys set to alternative hot keys. Only way Logitech offered to change that was to download their “options+” software. Don’t remember for sure, but the final download size was MASSIVE. The software included AI tools, but had bare minimal settings options. It added support for additional gestures on the keyboard’s track pad, but made the track pad jittery. Made the fn key switch, then uninstalled the software. The setting change didn’t stick once the utility was gone.
Returned the keyboard. So excited for the day when my shoelaces and sunglasses require an Internet connection.
Keeping the floss in am the shower was my eureka moment! Haven’t missed a day since.
Keeping the dish drying rack empty. If it’s empty, it is much more likely that the people you live with will wash their own dishes.
Also, if I am having a rough start to my day sometimes just grinning like a maniac into empty space for a minute sparks a better mood and motivation.
Keeping floss in the shower was my eureka moment. I haven’t missed a day since. Hopefully it doesn’t end up moldy lol.
Thanks devs!!
I loved them all, but if I had to choose
Descent 2 > Descent 1 > Descent 3
3 was a well done transition into a new type of game engine. Good advancement of the story. Worth playing if you are a fan of the first 2. Felt like the developers cared for and stuck to the vision.

Here’s a sweet video of a similar event in 2022, also taken by Perseverance. The article has some cool details.

This is a cool point. I’ve never thought about that before. It’s a very stable environment allowing for efficiency to be selected for in ways that may decrease adaptability.
Yeah. Countless examples going both directions. I wouldn’t call crocodilians super adaptable, but they are so well tuned for their specific environs that they’ve been largely unchanged for 94 MILLION years.
I would argue that being warm blooded makes an animal more adaptable. Interestingly, it seems cold blooded reptiles evolved into warm blooded archosaurs which eventually led to cold blooded crocodilians. Tellingly, these active warm blooded ancestors are all extinct in favor of the passive, cold blooded, low adaptability ambush predator.
In the opposite direction, the adaptable rat has done much better than the countless specialized species that have disappeared since the industrial revolution and human explosion.
Will this global push end up limiting miniaturization of electronics? Even if it does, may still be a worthwhile tradeoff.
Quick, everybody down vote op for asking a question
