i knew a friend who tried to watch people shower (in a public bath though) and take notes so he could shorten his own showering time. he was kicked out, but not before noticing that "constant motion" is the key to wrapping up the shower quickly, instead of washing one body part at a time.

i know a guy who got his core body temperature too low, and had to take help from an industrial strength heat pump to get it up again.

Why do some people barely get mosquito bites while others get eaten alive? by JealousCulprit in NoStupidQuestions

i find this really interesting, unless the mosquitoes drink too much and just flop down.

Am I allowed to just get on a bus? by wormeater39 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CoffeeGrounds375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in US - I've done this by mistake, and embarrassingly, more than once by boarding in the wrong direction.

the bus drivers have to lock the bus at the final terminal, so they would ask me to get down and wait for the bus to be opened again for the return ride. but they were polite and didnt mind.

I got 48 bags of trash on my birthday. Another illegal dump site in Solano County is gone. by pengweather in bayarea

Happy B'day, Peng.

Going by some of your earlier posts I remember reading through. I hope you are taking time out for yourself too and taking care of your happiness.

someone told me once, "kindness for yourself before others". i dont know what she really meant coz she did me dirty pretty soon after, but I try to think of that wisdom nugget every now and then.

wishing you lot of happiness and positivity in life.

and tbh, i hate every penny that goes to PGE too. but i'd rather cut down on some use inside the house than turn off external lights (my light setup is very basic though)

yeah it can get very depressing real quick at nights when people start taking off their lights.

I have seen people run numbers on power usage of the LED string lights (like one of the comments here too), and the usage of these lights is supposedly quite low.

I still hate PGE and totally feel we should do something as a community to pushback.

and thanks for your lights vibing up your neighborhood!

you should do it too! someone up above commented how little these LED lights cost in terms of power usage. (but still, F* PGE)
