    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

    In cycling it is because some dentists buy the most expensive stuff even if they are only riding 20 miles once a week. Some years later they’ll sell an originally 10k bike, and it has less than a thousand miles on it. Enough dentists have done it that it is now just a term you call anyone who way overbuys their needs.

    My old dentist got into cycling after talking to me about cycling. He ended up buying a 10k+ bike even when i told him not to. He rode that summer but after that the bike stayed mounted in his office. I used to poke fun at him for being the meme




  • Here are some good rule of thumbs for work and schools:

    • do not connect to their networks with your personal devices, ever.

    • Only use work/ school devices on their own network.

    • Do not do anything personal on those networks. only do work/school related tasks. This means don’t log into any non school/work accounts.

    • If for some reason they don’t have a device for you but require you to use their network, then leave your personal devices at home claiming you don’t own one and make them accommodate you.

    You cannot expect privacy in these situations, and by going to the extreme lengths to try to get it then you will ironically just paint a bigger target on your back if any network admin cares. In some cases this can cost you your job or get you in trouble with the school.





  • This happened to me last year. Bought a cs4 and cs5 design suites back when they came out. Only ever used on one computer. When i unauthorized my computer and moved it to a new one they wouldn’t authorize it and demanded proof of purchase. I showed those fuckers a paper receipt from 10-15 years ago. They wouldn’t accept it and required additional information to verify i was authorized to purchase the software at the discounted price from an authorized retailer. It took several back and forth before they issued a new cd key instead of reactivating mine.

    I suspect the cdkeys were cracked at some point and i just had the unfortunate luck of mine being abused. Would be nice if they didn’t require online authentication for a product i legitimately own though. If they are going to require online authentication then they need a more secure way of generating their cd keys.

    let me ask this: what is your threat model? Don’t tell me, ask yourself that and work through it if you haven’t already.

    Going full 100% and trying to become a shadow overnight if a great recipe for burning yourself out and not trying. Instead look at your specific threat model and work on the biggest things one step at a time. Make it a journey and only take a new step once you’re comfortable with the last.
