It’s interesting that the instructions want you to cup your hands around the nipple instead of just spraying yourself directly

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The stuff at Truck Stops to make life on the road doable is really kind of interesting. The most interesting to me is "Idle Air," this set of gantries in the lot with tubes hanging down that mate with one of the side windows to provide AC, electric, TV, and internet without having the truck idle all night. It's an impressively large amount of infrastructure.
Damn that is pretty cool. I don't know if I've ever seen or heard about that before
I guess they're not as popular now, as trucks have become smarter and more electrified so they don't have to idle as much while still being able to power increasingly efficient devices, plus I guess people just abused the everliving fuck out of them, but it's such an interesting solution to a problem "normal" people wouldn't think about, and one with very visible infrastructure.
Some of our deep water ports have something similar so the large ships don't have to idle in port to keep their engines warm/services online. Massive shore power hookups and the like. It prevents a ton of air pollution being dumped into the city.
