Just here to let you all know that mine is currently 1. Living in the middle of nowhere has its benefits, at times

Brilliant, thank you

Thank you, good detective work

Looking for a new, non-shot phone. Can anyone ID the one on the left?

That was a big question during the trial, too

I’ll refer you to unexpctedkeg’s comment

Because the cost of the app to do that isn’t $60 a year.

Well certainly but the Brits tend to ignore that part of the UK - it’s a little uncomfortable so we just pretend that NI doesn’t exist

Eh, we don’t really use Britain. UK is more inclusive

Lets not pretend that it isn’t about data collection though. If they cared about protecting my data, they’d spend a little more money and either make 0.1% less profit or pass the cost onto the consumer

Thanks for the recommendation

Yes, that’s another reason. I’m reliant on the app for the device to function - if they stop supporting it, the company goes bankrupt, my wifi cuts out - I now have a very expensive piece of plastic.

Fortunately I’m not in the US so I actually have reproductive rights

I’ve been looking for a breast pump recently - I’d like electric so I don’t have to manually pump. All of the ones I could find in the shop required an app to connect to the device. Why? What purpose does that serve me? I’d have to make an account, accept needless permissions and cookies and give them access to very personal data about my boobs and milk production - I went with a manual one instead

I saw a tall man in a leather jacket in a supermarket and ran up and hugged him because all tall men in leather jackets are my dad. 5 year old me forgot that he was passed out at home from some drug/alcohol concoction so how could he be in the shop?

Traumatised me for life.

What happened at age 5?

Yeah, it’s an adapted toilet for a disability and also built into a wall (old house, weird architecture), so the easy attachable ones don’t cut it. Even if they did, I’d still prefer the separate bidet unit, tbh. Just personal preference and what I’m used to, which would require someone to fit it

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a bidet attachment that fits my toilet. When we move, I’m getting one for sure but I’ll still use toilet roll at times too

That being said, I’m not sure the cost-benefit really fits here. The initial cost (£100-500, depending on quality and type) plus fitting (£100-200 depending on plumbers in your area) would take about 10 years to break even when spending £40 on toilet roll per year. And by then, I’m sure I would have moved house or the bidet would have broken or something

I often see people say to buy the expensive toilet roll but I always go for the low end of the midrange rolls. I don’t need 4ply, scented, quilted shit, I just need two pieces of paper stuck together.

There is a balance, you don’t want to get the 1ply stuff you’d find in a stingy office. But just look at the label and price-per-sheet

(If you can afford it, buy a year’s supply in bulk from the company)
