What would sell better if people knew about it?

You speak truth that most are afraid to admit. My butthole is clean though and my hemorrhoid much more tame since forgoing the rough paper wiping. Also, it can help speed up the "endless poop" feelings that can happen on a bad stomach day, cause you know you're empty (for now)

People rep bidets all the time, but I don't see many repping the detailed nuances of why the're the shit

You just use toilet paper to dry

You can get ones with heated water and warm air drying capability (they are more than $30 though)

It's only surprising or strange the first time. If you aren't acutely aware of how the water of a shower hits your skin every time you shower, then you won't notice the bidet more than the first or second time.

Yes. Absolutely.

I did have to shave some of the plastic from mine to get the toilet lid to close naturally. Not the same situation, but they do on occasion, require a little creativity

When you're using a bidet with the underseat nozzle, imagine you're washing dog shit off the sidewalk, except you're the sidewalk. You do the bidet dance - shimmy your butt side-to-side as you scoot back-to-front. Fiddle with the strength of the stream until you find what's still comfortable, but strong enough to knock all the poop loose. The sprayer-and-hose style of bidet means you don't have to shimmy, but you have to be a bit more careful where you aim it. Blot dry with TP. Some TP works better with a bidet because it doesn't disintegrate as easily when wet.

I'm struggling to imagine how a bidet could damage pipes.

What? I think you're referring to wet wipes

I think you're thinking of "flushable" wipes. Bidets are different

For good reason. We can't imagine going back to having a dirty asshole and we want you to join us

I wish there was a <3 option instead of just upvote

It is essentially a full fledged PC. It uses the same AMD APU (CPU with built in GPU) as the PS5 and Xbox, has expandable storage. There are other similar and more powerful competitors but the steam deck has the best price and has out of th box support for a shit load of games using Steam. It also user serviceable.

I don't talk about products unless they're really good. I only say anything about the stuff that's impressively good because I think good products should be rewarded. The steam deck is okay ergonomically, I've had hours long sessions and no issues. The screen is big enough to avoid eye strain while keeping it portable. The screen does a great job, and I haven't seen any flickers or tearing. The screen also responds to touch. The thumbsticks are great quality, with good snap back, and no deadzone. The shoulder buttons aren't mushy, and respond well. The dpad is unremarkable, but works well. The ABXY buttons are maybe slightly soft, but I haven't lost any inputs. There's a trackpad like square that is like a high DPI mouse, and has haptic response to touch.

The software is the real star. Its set it and forget it. Everything is easy to setup. Most games work, and all games in the store show their compatibility. Some games that aren't supported still work fine regardless. As a bonus, the desktop mode also works well for acting as a normal PC with a good software "store" (most things are free).

But the best part is that you can be in the middle of a cutscene, and hit the power button. The deck can usually pick right up from where it left off. Add also the fact that the steam UI can be opened from anywhere so you can rebind controls on the fly. Extra buttons are available on the back for those games that need it, you just need to bind them once.

Before the unreal engine 5 update it ran great. Haven't tried after, though, could still be ok.

I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard setup on my deck to run fps and 4x games, hell most of the games, and satisfactory ran great on the deck(my only reference point is a 5 year old laptop that continues to chug along, satisfactory ran as well, if not better, on the deck than it does on the laptop)

Hey I think I got that same one, at least it was also was $15 and from Anker. Some of the outer plastic is rubbing off though so I've been looking for a new one. Unfortunate not many companies make good quality vertical mice - the only one I've seen that seems well built is the logitech mx vertical.

I have been a left hand mouser at work for probably 15-20 years.

An early data entry job made my right wrist prone to soreness from mouse use. I am very much right handed, but left hand mousing 90% of the time feels totally natural now. If I’m at going using the mouse on the right, it’s usually for photo editing or PC games.

I carry a 40 pin connector adapter as well

The one I have has soft spikes all over.

Edit: FYI don't run it over yer spine.

I originally got a small, very bright flashlight, as a form of self-defense (the area I live in isn't the greatest, so you have to be a little more aware). I have several different self-defense options, but the palm-sized flashlight has become one of my favorites... and not just because of self-defense

Yeah, it can blind the hell outta someone and stun them from the sheer 'holy fuck, that burns my eyes', but it became most useful simply because I had it on me all the time.

A cellphone light soon became frustratingly clunky and I still couldn't see that great, when I just needed a quick light. It's an S.O.S, it's a defense tool, it's small and way more effective than a cellphone light... I never thought I would use it as much as I do, but it just became that way because it was almost always on me.

Now I have a little keychain light for the things I would normally pull my cellphone out for, and my pocket flashlight for everything else.

Jumping a car battery on a dark highway?... fuck a cellphone, I want to see everything and for everyone to see me as well (from a distance), so I don't get run over by someone not paying attention

You try to approach me with a weapon?...BLAM, blinded by the strobe light as I make a run for it, and you try to see again

Is that an opossum/skunk/racoon rustling from nearby? POW, power beam activates so I can see the bushes down the block. If it's closer to me, it's also temporarily blinded

Long story short: I hardly used a flashlight either, before I started carrying one for defensive purposes. Now I use it for a LOT of little reasons, and hate not being able to see (very well) because a light isn't bright enough.

It also has a bevel to break a window (like if you're trapped in a car)? But I've (thankfully) never had to use it except for, "I need a flashlight quick". It seems weird, but I understood it once I started carrying it

Flashlight is essential for winter in rural places, for working on cars or lighting up awkward places. I'd rather put in place a torch or flexi torch and have it fall over instead of my mid range phone which may lead to the screen scratching. Generally too, using my phone where I need a torch simply exposes my phone to risks.

It's pitch black, below 5c, snowy and windy. I'd much rather fondle my testicles when walking the dog, instead of holding my phone out. Head lamp is the way forward.

Oh, you have got to try Soylent+ they really upped the proportion of adrenochrome in the new formula

Eh, it varies from person to person.

I've had 2 cars under dealer extended warranty, and both warranties have paid for themselves in double. I wouldn't get a warranty/insurance outside of the dealer except for expensive electronics.

It's skin advice, lol. If you're looking to rip hair out, sugaring is the far superior choice. I get a Brazilian sugaring done ever 5 weeks, and I pop right out of my appointment without pain or any of the other waxing ill side effects.

You have nothing to lose but your chains

We used it for things like cheese sauce. Never tried actually whipping it, but for savory meals it did the trick just right

I used to work in the catering industry and have seen almost every chef use it interchangeably with cream when they needed plant based options. It works great

Nobody's eating cream for the micronutrients
