No one mentioned (probably an assumed thing) to turn the water on full hot to let it warm up, then move it to the preferred mix position. Doesn't waste the cold water which will stay more or less the same temp, it's only flushing out the cold in the hot water line. And because you have it fully on hot, it takes less time.

Or get a tankless water heater to get it almost right away. I've seen debates on which is a better choice when factoring everything in, and I think it's a close tie with no clear winner, each having their caveats.

Yes, but with others coming back has a cost. Beric Dondarrion is the first in mind, who loses memory each time he's brought back, and in the book presents the idea that remaining alive requires some life force that runs out even with the resurrected (based on what happens).

Of course none of this happens to Jon...well, maybe it does, as would explain why he acts so out of character as things close. He must have died again in the final seasons off screen.

Think of federation as potential redundancy for data and discussion. Individually an instance of whatever platform you're using can be great, bad, or start off nice and get worse, but as long as there is federation of the good parts of communication among the people, there's going to be somewhere else you can go if your first source goes downhill. It's not perfect, but it's far better than a single location where users are at the mercy of whoever runs and controls it.

I've picked up a muscle memory now to scroll down a certain amount when searching for things. I did notice the other day the AI give me introduction text for a script solution, followed by "something went wrong." Indeed.

A timeline where saying, "you're no Kim Jong Un" is an insult.

A real President, sponsorships notwithstanding.

2025? This is internet tradition going much further back. No, not Reddit. MUCH older.

Cars then were simpler, you got less for the price. Yes, today's cars are overpriced, but maybe not as much as it seems.

I've seen videos of Suburus embarrassing normal 4X4s in climbing stuff, so this is a simple one. I mean an old Civic or Yugo would probably beat a Cybertruck too, so it's a low bar.

I'd rather not given what comes between. Can we instead get the future of the civilization in Strange New World's pilot episode? They got the advantage of learning from the mistakes Earth made before they did the same and leapfrogged into the better stuff.
