So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn't imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.

After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn't make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it's perfectly room temp. I've never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won't be buying one with a heater again...

The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression "you don't know what you go til it's gone"?

Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it "learns" when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.

But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I'll go and take a seat: instant sad. It's not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)

Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!

If the US was some other country with oil the USA would have stepped in by now and sorted this out.

If I owed half a million dollars to the CRA, what would happen?

No.

The answer to your first question is: "No. Not at all. That is independent of sexual orientation."

And "openly expressing an urge to fuck" at work vs "get in your gimp suit and party on a float" at a public event.... If you can't sus out the difference between those two situations, no wonder you are afraid of getting in trouble...

What a dumb argument.

Did her partner not like her?

Love Kino's journey. I should rewatch it soon.

When I first got an ev I was like "wow, can't wait for there to be so many more charging stations replacing gas stations."

Then I "got" it. You don't need to charge anywhere but at home unless you are doing road trips.

When I switched back to an ice vehicle (needed a truck, am not millionaire) going to the gas station was the worst punishment ever.

It's like, imagine if you had to go somewhere and plug in your phone to charge it every few days. Wouldn't that suck? I lived the dream of going home and plugging my car in, like I do my phone on my nightstand. It's always full in the morning, I never have to stop at a gas station when I just want to get home after work, I don't have to stand in the freezing cold as the pump slowly ticks along.

I hope to live that paradise again soon.

Right? I was hoping more for a "16 people have quite their roles and chilled the fuck out, taking a new job where they don't have to be evil daily to maintain their positions."

But I guess they might have trouble sleeping at night, so that's alright.....

It's the little things in life you treasure. Like the transparency of idiots. Saves so much time.

And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she'd be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.
