  • They’re all heated. The high flow ones just feel cold because they’re evaporating the water faster than it can put heat into your hands. If you hang out an extra 10 seconds with good technique, it’ll be warm.

    Are any perfect? Probably not. I don’t have the patience for them and utilize my pants to finish the job. But, some basic understanding goes a long way.

    1. Drying starts at the sink. Give some good shakes there. You can use your hands to squeegee the other there as well.

    2. Rub your hands in the drier, vigorously and thoroughly. You need to spread the water thin to speed evaporation. Letting it stay pooled in droplets will only lead to the droplets re-wetting the dry parts as soon as they move. It also helps put your wetter parts on your drier parts, further maximizing your wet surface area.

    2a. For the high speed ones, move your hands so it works it’s way from your wrists to your fingertips. This will help fling water off your hands.

    1. I’m still gonna pat dry on my pants because I can’t waste the extra 10 seconds with all that white noise, but it’s a lot less than how it started. I could do a handshake by time I step out. I call it quits when the air doesn’t feel cold anymore.

    Low speed drivers still won’t be worth my time. Again, I promise, I’m wearing pants, and I’ll use them.





  • That might be biased because your own age puts you into groups of interest to others your own age. I tried to be encompassing with “middle age” because, well, that probably includes me, a 30-something teenager. But that being said, I have felt there’s been a slow swing to at least be inclusive of 18-25 year olds. But I also have confirmation bias there because I can’t hang with the kids’ slang anymore, so it stands out when I see it.

    Digression: I’d like to do a study on “what’s the funniest number” because it’s both age and time dependent. 69 has been funny for a long time, but for boomers and older, was there any other funny number? Gen x and some millennial would likely say 42 (Hitchikers guide to the galaxy). Other millennial might hark back to SpongeBob with 24/25. But what has obviously gotten me curious is 6-7. Of course, my assumptions stem only from my own observations and I could be missing large entries.


  • It’s a platform catering towards techy middle aged men that can’t relate to her story at all. Of course, there’s always the bullshit about “of course I can’t relate to being a greedy billionaire” but it’s every single aspect, namely, never having been a teenage girl.

    These guys will then go on to act like the teen girl story is a gimmick and that she should do something more mature, then scroll and geek out over painting some 40K figurines. Spoiler alert, we never stopped being kids, we just got wrinkly and gray.

    I don’t get Swift. 300,000,000 women do. Clearly, she’s striking a chord somewhere significant.




  • That’s my point? My state checks normal cars for OBDII codes and nothing else. One neighboring state does full inspection and fails for rust holes. The other neighbor has no inspection. Saying a street “racer” (which I keep putting in quotes because I’m positive most commenters in this thread aren’t talking about racing) that won’t pass tech shouldn’t be “racing” is acting like the bar is any higher for the average car being driven by someone texting and driving.
