  • Hey yeah, i get it (or, to some extent) . I am chronically cold due to being a healthy weight and having poor circulation. I wear thermals and hoodies year round even when it's 90+ out. But for me it's the extremeties and my ass isn't too bad.

    But to be more constructive, since you know yourself better than anyone. If this is really a deal breaker then id look into getting an extra outlet installed in your bathroom which can vary on price depending on the type of wall (and their service minimum-- if you have other electrical needs you night be able to tackle all at once). It's been a few years since i had a new outlet installed but i got it for around $250/ outlet. Might be as high as $400-500 for your set up.

    And an electric Bidet lid with heated water will cost you $250-500 (maybe there are cheaper ones but I'm just going by some options i looked at for my partner).

    Low end $500, high end $1000 for outlet+Bidet. I'm assuming you can install the Bidet lid yourself (it wasn't hard, promise).

    Now i can't do the next math for you, so I'll share my toilet math. Costco toilet paper is ~$24/30 rolls (I'm using the price online which may be higher than warehouse, but also closer to other stores). I used to go though a roll per week because my hairy ass loved to play marker with the TP. After i got a Bidet my TP usage dropped my at least 4x. A roll lasts me a long time. So if my weekly cost of TP used to be $1.25 then I'm saving $3.75/ month. And that's just me maybe you have more people using the restroom. So saving $45/year. We're looking at 10 years to break even from a cost perspective for the low end of things.

    Ok, maybe that doesn't make the most sense from a cost perspective. My cheapo bidet paid itself off within a year.

    Outside of cost id say this:

    • i feel much cleaner.
    • Ass sweat doesnt feel like I'm making a poo swamp
    • my butt thanks me. No more raw asshole
    • if you're in a house with septic system, less TP in the septic system. (This could potentially decrease the amount of time between pumps).

    Sorry for the long message. I spent 3 decades thinking my sister was the weirdo for buying a Bidet and i wish i wouldve made the change sooner

  • When I have to poop away from home I feel like a barbarian.

    A year or two ago i could've written that. Then i discovered travel Bidets. I have one that is a small bottle i fill up at the sink. Then i also have a Bidet that is just a cap for a plastic water bottle. That one is real tiny so easy to take places.

    So if I'm going on a trip i take the small bottle one, and if I'm just going out then i bring the cap

  • Trump is killing free speech.
  • Let me get this straight, CBS is refusing to fact check the VP nominee who, on TV, admitted that if he has to make up lies to get America's attention then he'd do just that?

    Eat shit CBS

  • Experts Warn of Growing Inhalant Trend on TikTok as 'Chroming' Gains Popularity
  • I don't understand tiktok. Last trend i heard about was people cheating banks to get free money (aka fraud) and now they're doing inhalants as a trend? How many brain cells does the average tik toker have?

    Yes i know my age is showing. Get off my lawn!

  • Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users
  • Agree or delete account is real "good guy gabe" energy.

    What a fucking trash monopoly

    Edit: Ok for the corporate apologists; the company gave 0 days notice to this. You HAVE to agree or you can't access your account, which locks you out of your games. The only options you have are to agree or delete account.

    At least discord allowed you to opt out by a certain date when they updated to forced arbitration. Not only is steams move here to protect their 30% take on transactions, more than double of competitors, but steam is also choosing to fuck people over who don't want to agree. Supposedly if steam ever went under they'd let you continue to access your games but i guess they can instead just enshittify their subscriber agreement so that no one would still have an account. For instance you now agree to only access your games for 1 minute per day and you will be charged $1000 for each time you start up steam would be a great way to force people to delete their accounts so steam doesn't have to honor their EULA.

    But go ahead, keep talking about how good gabe is. Steam is a monopoly. And there are no good monopolies.

  • LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking
  • I just returned it, but my idea was a separate VLAN and block all connections except for whitelisted ones for streaming. Smart tvs/rokus/etc do a lot of talking and they could theoretically brick themselves if there isn't an internet connection available.

    The future is a wonderful place!

  • Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be blacklisted, cite OSHA, setting medics for failure
  • He made the most 10 year old statement that if he ran for president he would just talk to both parties and reach a compromise.

    Good thing his target audience can't vote. Hopefully as they grow up they learn he's full of shit and stop supporting him
