I take as long and as hot of showers as I can because I know in 10-20 years, that will be a luxury. I also know that it's pointless for me to try to conserve. If me, all my neighbors, all my neighbors' neighbors, and everyone all of us knows made a pledge to use as little water as we could, it would be insignificant in the face of inefficient agriculture and corporate greed. Every one here could use over 50 gallons of water a day and it would still be absolutely miniscule compared to industrial use.

Anyone saying that water conservation should happen on an individual level is smoking some corporate BS. On an individual basis, there is enough water for everyone to live like a watery nymph if they choose to. It's corporations that are overwhelmingly sucking up the supply.

So take your time in the shower. Don't stress about frivolous uses right now. They won't be around forever and taking advantage of them presently won't do diddly to stop the future.

Once in the morning and anytime after doing something that makes me sweat.

A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

Wasn't there a proposal to do something similar by using ships to blast saltwater into the air? All the cloud coverage and reflected sunlight, none of the acid rain.

I only learned about it from the "Well There's Your Problem" podcast. Can't believe my school never talked about it. We did hear all about Challenger though as well as a few other disasters where the lesson was "If you cut corners, or take chances, people can DIE"

2 months later and there's still not a satisfying answer. I would have hoped 1 or 2 apps would have risen to the top by now, but it's still just a scattershot of people suggesting like 8-10 different ones. There's no consensus.

I don't want to download an app and get all set up only for development on it to suddenly halt. Then I'd either have to switch again, or be stuck with one that's forever missing features.

Too many new apps popped up in too short of time. Some of them are bound to fail or be abandoned. Some of them are likely to have been hacked together by amateurs and contain gaping security or functionality flaws.

Does anyone have a suggestion with more substance than "I like this app because it's the one I downloaded"?

You mean exactly what the dingus in OP's post is trying to do?

The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

When did we switch to that instead of CP?

Can someone ELI5 why this is important? Is there something wrong with NVIDIA drivers?
