Circumcision is abuse. Only rarely is it a medically sane practice. The glans basically becomes calloused, why would anyone want that?

Foreskin restoration is a way to return to a more normal state, with a softer and more sensitive glans. That is the reason people want to restore.

Nerves don't grow back, but the glans becomes more sensitive as the calloused skin heals.

It will take a few more years but he will get there. Tell him I salute him for his perseverance!

False, because people don't actually say that. Most people are two months away from being broke.

They don't teach personal finance in school, but they should. It would help many people to not fall into bad debt. (Mortgage can often be considered "good debt" but most other credit is bad.)

Why would they, though?

What do people think of the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2? It's basically the same thing as the Apple tag, minus the apple.

These days, shit is the only thing for the US can be counted on.

Oops, I forgot my twin knows my username.

On the plus side, I have a follower!

That forehead of his... there has to be a story about that?

Also in defense of end users, they are forced to use whatever OS their IT department provides.

The few users that would prefer Linux for instance, aren't allowed to use it because it deviates from the company standard and makes things harder to maintain (security, backup, and so on).

Yes we do.

I disagree!

Same with Austria. As a Dane living in Austria, it feels like nobody here has even half-decent English skills. It's horrible, and I blame generations of dubbed TV and movies.

Thank you Flax, this was a very useful explanation! I will look into it and figure whether I can install it in a suitable place in my bathroom.

I don't fully understand how this works. The pump and valve are used to circulate hot water though the hot pipe and back through the cold pipe.

But... doesn't that mean you never have cold water? Because the cold pipe is by definition also hot now?

It seems as if this just shifts the problem from "wasting hot" to "wasting cold" to get the water you want.

That would have been nice, but our plumbing doesn't allow it. We would have to put in return pipes and that means tearing up the walls. Hard no, sadly.

I have solar water panels on my roof so hot water costs nothing except just the water. Having the machine warm up cold water would cost electrical power. Glad to see this confirmed so I don't feel as nerdy about it.

Amazing how there really is an XKXD for everything 😘👌

Readability would be much improved by removing the decimals.

I like the color scale - is it bad because of color blindness, or is there another reason?
