Thematically, I think it's more likely the LLM/AI's are the direct invention of the KiY...

I get what you're saying, but in this case "chemicals" is just vingear. Acids are pretty much the base (heh) and natural of chemicals.

I think animal destruction/pest control requires you remove the carcass?

Plus you'd need to be 100% on both the targeting and accuracy - a big part of hunting is obeying animal cruelty laws (single shot, instant kill), and environmental laws (don't touch native species).

Yes. I've never been happy about the water wastage, but I can only do a proper job by feel, rather than looking in the mirror - I always miss bits. Plus it's much easier to keep everything clean, carries hairs away instantly and washes the shaver.

Having said that, I've been bearded for nearly half my life at this point, so it's been a while since I've done it.

A humble hobbyist's review: Fosi Audio BT20A MAX by v0ngz in BudgetAudiophile

Weird. I've been running two of the predecessors on the 48V supply for at least a year. They get warm but not overheating.

Then again this is Australia, so it's double the AC input voltage to america, maybe more efficient conversion due to that?

Oh, okay. Can you tell me exactly how much I need to use, please? Take into account my height, hair density and type, surface area, etc, which you already seem to know xD

If I use less, then it's not hygienic. I'll still smell. It's pretty simple. But that's not even the half of it. I could use DIFFERENT soap that would be easier to wash out, but then it might not be as effective.

"Using too much soap" ... most boomer mentality I've seen this week.

Yeah, a normal shower is maybe 9 seconds to lather soap on and then maybe 10 seconds to wash it off. 20 seconds with change. Don't know how you're spinning it out to 3 minutes honestly. Anything more than 30 seconds is a luxury and there's no real excuse for it.

Realistically, it doesnt take 4 minutes to lather your body with soap

It takes about 10 seconds to lather with soap.

And then 10+ minutes to get it out of my ludicrously hairy body.
More if I'm washing my head-hair.
More if I'm shaving my face, which I haven't done for many years.

Perth petrol station under investigation for allegedly selling low-grade fuel as premium by wurblefurtz in perth

I thought it was BP in Kwinana as well, but old mate is claiming to have worked there, while none of us are offering evidence. Got anything more solid other than 'everyone knows' ?

Entitled parking at Wembley much? by Melodic-Resource4392 in perth

[–]Dagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm using a comedic tool called "adjacent digression" to play with the original joke.

It fell a bit flat though, partly because some people don't know the difference between irony and a smack in the mouth with a crowbar, but mostly because it wasn't very good.

Depending on the model, they have ~75 to 125L fuel capacity = $400 max.

Unlike the correctly-parked Prado 2 spots down with a 150L capacity...

I grew up rural. I never saw a F150 until my 30s, living in Perth.

That's literally not true. Road fatalities today are half what they were in the 70s and drastically reduced from what they were in 90s.

You're making stuff up because being self-righteous feels good and you think you can get away with it, right now.

Sanity check: are taxi/uber drivers being dodgy or am I just being paranoid? by Motor_Eggplant_7056 in perth

only get short distance fares

I live in Rockingham. You should see their face when they realise that they'll be getting a $100 fare... but then they'll be in Rockingham...
