You seem determined to take issue with the concept of a bidet. That’s OK no one is forcing you to use one. The toilet seat attachment ones are super cheap and convenient. You don’t have to get up and go anywhere. You just turn a knob when you’re done pooping and you get cleaner than you can with paper. Feels good to be clean.

Like back to the arm poop analogy, if you for some reason were getting shit on your arm every single day, sometimes multiple times, then having to go do the shower soap towell thing becomes a hassle. Maybe it makes sense to have a special hose next to where you keep getting shit on you to make clean up easier.

It’s a single wipe on clean skin. Much less paper used. No abraison. No mess. If you got shit on your arm would you be satisfied just wiping if off with paper?

What changed is that unchecked power and increasing public presence have caused his behaviour to become increasingly erratic, exposing him for the charlatan he is.

I use Dunlop strap locks and they work well. I like that the buttons look just like stock and can hold a regular strap if for whatever reason you don’t have a locking one handy.

How did your warwick ones break? Can you share a picture?

Sorry I can’t add much to your question, though I’m super interested to see other responses. What struck me is why you think it would be at all obvious to anyone else that you associate Sunday with yellow? What are your ‘obvious reasons’? I’m genuinely interested.

Has it ever been done right though? A capitalist entity’s mandate is to grow itself and extract maximum profit. It is obliged to become as unfettered as possible to achieve that. This is inheritly unsustainable and in conflict with the interests of society and the environment at large.

How close are the pickups to the strings? If they’re very close try lowering them a bit. When they’re too close the magnetic field from the pickups can influence the vibration of the strings and cause odd sounds.

What do you mean by > ‘the humbuckers are starting to die?’ They’re just magnets with copper wire wrapped around them, they don’t really wear out. What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? If it’s quiet/scratchy/noisy you probably just have a bad potentiometer or a cold solder joint. If you don’t like how to guitar feels then yeah something different may be in order. If you like the guitar but something about the sound isn’t perfect then maybe different pickups will help, but your amp will have a much larger impact on your tone than different humbuckers.

I’m pretty sure the muscles are controlled by the same nerves/neural pathways. A lot of people can’t shit without pissing also but once you have shat you don’t need to hold those muscles so you can let loose. It’s a bit like trying to wiggle your ring finger without moving your pinky or middle. Except with your dick.

Yep that app is definitely not a privacy nightmare. No.

Well-intentioned people: let’s wait and see if #Threads is, for example, a privacy nightmare

Facebook: we’re not launching in Europe yet because right now it would be illegal

Right so.

There’s no retroactive syncing. So a regenerated instance would start seeing any new content from the moment federation is switched back on. It’s the same if you’re the first user to subscribe to a community on another instance (from your instance). Until that moment your instance doesn’t know the community exists but one a user subscribes your instance starts copying new content from that community and other users from your instance will start seeing that content in ‘all’.

I respect your decision, and the transparency behind your thought processes. Beehaw’s stated values, and the culture that you have grown and maintained were what led me to choose it initially. I’ve enjoyed reading and interacting with the people and content here, and the extra thought and effort that goes into typical posts compared to other similar servers.

I hope you’re able to find people you can trust to share the administrative burden, that improved moderation tools are not far off, and that this decision will be earnestly reconsidered in the coming days/weeks as growth from the Reddit Exodus stabilizes.

I believe the Fedverse as a whole will be a poorer place for being defederated from Beehaw.

That said, based on this decision I’ve decided to migrate my primary account to a regional instance. I want to continue to participate in and interact with the Beehaw community, but I’d also like the freedom to explore the wider fediverse and find diverse communities for my niche interests and hobbies. I just hope bad actors from my, and other instances don’t cause further defederation and fragmentation.
