It’s still something you can easily grab with your shirt or (ideally) jacket. That’s almost as good as if you were wearing gloves after washing your hands

Mythbusters tested this. With the lid open or closed, poop particles were detectable in every room of a house after a flush. The lid does nothing.

These make more sense, tbh:

IMO the painful thing about it is that it was clearly just too ambitious of a simulation and they made it unmanageable, so then they backpedaled and made it too easy by having a lot of the systems automatically balance themselves (electricity from neighboring cities, for instance)
- Comment on It hurts. 1 week ago:
The original developer has literally been pulled off of Cities Skylines 2. Maybe the little developer that Paradox put on it to crank out DLCs will do a good job and fix it, but I doubt it.

Woz is not a billionaire. He’s also the closest thing that exists to a single human who invented the personal computer and universal remote control. He gave away almost all of the money he earned.

Yeah, I get that, I’m just kind of exasperated at the concept. I see people doing this all the time and it’s wild to me

For sure. I use a HOTAS in addition to the VR setup. I also enjoy manually docking on various stations with the assists off.

The new version would be: “… … … … .”
Which is a pretty tough rhythm if you treat each space as an eighth note rest and each dot as an eighth note
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 1 month ago:
Ironically my biggest issue with Discovery is that it’s pretty right-wing with its CIA stand-in apologia and blatantly militaristic style in Seasons 1 and 2 at least.
That and the sheer degree of melodrama. Every episode needs to have scenes of at least one or two characters in total anguish. It just wears me down compared to other Treks.

Yeah, this. Sci-fi fanbases and especially Trek/Wars fans are constantly flipping out when their sci-fi is socially progressive at all, even if it started that way.

- Comment on BoM asked to explain ‘what happened here’ after cost of website redesign revealed to be $96.5m 4 months ago:
The 4.1m was the budget for the front-end. The back-end changes were initially budgeted as 31m but tripled in cost as the project dragged on and contracts needed to be extended
- Comment on BoM asked to explain ‘what happened here’ after cost of website redesign revealed to be $96.5m 4 months ago:
More likely mismanagement, miscommunication, rewrites, and incompetence than corruption.
All projects of sufficient complexity overrun their cost/time estimates. That’s not even accounting for designers and programmers trying to hit what is likely a moving target.

The post is more about how there’s an absurd number of clueless people in forums trying to figure out how to set things up and it’s just a chaotic clusterfuck of mostly non-technical people talking past each other.
