You too, mate?

I suppose maybe they're still useful innovations if they can be made with minerals which are more available.

Probably, we could achieve a balance between one type and the other, but I'm daydreaming now...

That's very interesting. If they can be used at home or in cars that don't require batteries with a very large capacity, then that would be really good to counter the scarcity of lithium (and hopefully, help the environment too)

Interesting! So it would make sense to have tons of sodium batteries for all purposes for which one doesn't need maybe higher capacity or performance as I understand lithium batteries offer

Question to anyone who might know more: would sodium based batteries be better than lithium ones for the environment, in terms of recycling or disposing of it?

In case they are indeed better, would they be better because it's better to use less lithium in general (so if you use more sodium based ones, you use less lithium) or would they be also better because their own disposal is "nicer" (as in less toxic) for the environment?

Watterson gave a mathematical proof that giving gifts to kids on the night of the 24th is much better for all parties involved! 😁

I get that this is yesterday's news, but I did not hear of this development in 2018 when the article came out. So for me this is a "Today I learned" (even if it's old news for everyone else).

I learned about the Stanford Prison Experiment from the crappy German movie "The Experiment" they made in 2001 and then listened to some interviews by Zimbardo around 2006 or so.

In fact, though the linked Vox article provides several examples of experiments that cannot be well reproduced, it is interesting that the Wikipedia article says Zimbardo is still very much convinced his experiment is sound (at least he still was in 2018).

Edit: fixed grammar

You're talking to me or the guy above?

Care to elaborate either way?

Ahem, what about car rentals when you travel? 😜 Just kidding: in this case you know very well you're not owning the car and only using it for a very short time

There's one thing I haven't read yet in the previous answers: after you s**t you still wipe your ass with toilet paper before using the bidet, and you do it pretty well too.

When you get to use the bidet, your butt is already pretty clean, but washing it with a bidet makes it entirely clean and feels really nice.

You use a towel right after using a bidet, which is why you see one hanging right by a bidet in most (if not all) bathrooms with a bidet. This prevents spraying water everywhere after you're clean.

Also, when you use it once, you learn how strong you want your water stream to be, not to wet the whole bathroom. You do the same the first time you wash your dishes (if your faucet shoots water too strongly, you wet the kitchen beyond the sink)

Also: those who use bidet go through a rigorous training to master its practice and transmit it's secrets orally to the next generation.

Bonus: Crocodile Dundee VS a bidet

You just reminded me of this awesome bot on Reddit called "please respect tables".

There is still a subreddit about this, though it's been abandoned

Please respect tables

It would be fun to have it here too! 😄

Truly awesome and wholesome!
