Rare or not, get a bidet for home. It's like $25 US for a basic model, and you will never go back. I feel like an absolute savage when I can't use a bidet now. My best argument is this: Imagine if you fell into a pile of manure. Would you just get some dry paper towel and wipe yourself off and call it good?
If your answer is anything other than no, I don't have a rebuttal, but you do you.
In answer to the question, I still wipe the water away sitting down. Standing up doesn't make any sense as you essentially make a shit sandwich with your cheeks... and even though I'm clean down there now - I learned that way and don't plan on changing.
Open office layouts are absolutely terrible. Why more places haven't figured that out, I'll never know.
You have to make sure to tick "Remember me" when you log in to your account.
Yeah, I've tried that but it eventually logs out - haven't figured out how long it takes yet though. I'm just used to coming back to reddit even after reboots without having to relog.
click on the thumbnail, just like in Reddit
Sadly that doesn't seem to work for me, it just loads the Kbin post/comments then I have to click the link from there.
And as for the mousewheel click, yeah that's something I guess I'll have to retrain myself for.
A couple of Kbin usage questions...
Hi, I am new to Kbin like many, but I have a few questions on usage. So far I've liked it, but I keep getting logged out after a bit of inactivity and it makes me enter my credentials when I decide to comment. Is there a way to make it keep me logged in? I was very used to having reddit be basically perpetually logged in and being able to interact easily without constantly having to enter my credentials.
Second, when I click on links from the various posts, it doesn't open a new tab, and I end up closing the tab when done, and I don't have a tab to return to my Kbin browsing. Is there a setting for all new links to be opened in a new tab? This was also functionality I used with reddit, although I don't know if that was related to RES or reddit itself.
Lastly, speaking of the links, is there a way to make the link on the main page open the actual link to the external source instead of opening the post and comments? I feel like I am having to do extra clicks just to get to the content posted. I am used to viewing the content first, then going to the comments later if I choose to.
Thanks for any info and sorry if any of this has been asked before!
Do you like time travel stories at all? I recently read 11/22/63 by Stephen King and absolutely loved it. Outside of that, I highly recommend The Stand, although it is a big undertaking. Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles books were great to me, although I stopped after Memnoch The Devil and didn't keep up after that. Oh! And the Jurassic Park novel is great too, and is very interesting even if you've watched the movie. Lastly, I really enjoyed the Thomas Harris Hannibal Lecter series (Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal).
I am stuck on Edge on everything. The vertical tab implementation on Edge for me outdoes anything else. I can't go back and no addons do the same.
Honestly? For me I'd have to say Commander Keen. I spent an hour on a long distance BBS to download the 1MB demo with a 2400 baud modem just to try it. It was totally worth it (to me, not my grandma's phone bill) and absolutely blew my mind at the time. Seeing that smooth scrolling and having a platformer like SMB on the PC was seriously crazy at the time.
Plus eventually that led me to Wolfenstein 3-D which was mind-blowing itself, and then of course Doom.
Man, it's an absolute shitshow over there. The only thing holding people there, much like Twitter, is their addiction. I admit I miss it, but continuing to use these services sets such a bad precedent. I wish there were some better way to show people how much better the Fediverse is and how it keeps asshats like Huffman and Musk from making shit decisions for everyone else.
