Proper pressure = quicker showers and replacing the showerhead less often because the hard water buildup doesn't turn the lazy river pressure into a trickle. Needing to double flush a low flow toilet sucks too.

Agriculture in the wrong areas and useless lawns are the real water wasters.

I have been looking but haven't found one yet.

Does matrix handle livestreaming with a half dozen friends as easily as discord? Chatting and sharing with a few friends is all I have ever used it for and would hate to lose that ability.

Discord is dogshit for larger communities for sure, and I stopped trying to access game specific ones after trying a few out.

They are grown adults so while being manipulated is certainly a problem they are still responsible for falling for it at the individual level. Like how crime is often the result of poverty and other stresses, but we still hold (most) individuals responsible for their actions.

The community is entirely about mocking people who are facing the consequences of voting for those who make them suffer, in case you didn't notice.

Based on the total vote counts it looks like the vast majority of Dem voters left the county over the years while Rep voters were relatively stable.

1976 Rep: 4,107 Dem: 10,557 almost 15,000 voters

2008 Rep: 2,882 Dem: 3,430 about 6,200 voters

2024 Rep: 4,310 Dem: 1,036 about 5, 300

In 2024, Republican Donald Trump won the largest share of the vote ever for a Republican presidential nominee in the county, garnering 79.4% of the vote.

While it sucks for the 20% who voted against this, odds are damn high that anyone featured in a story is probably in the 80% that voted exactly for this.

Till we get to a mythical stage of agi that can actually decide globally if it thinks a company should exist or not and what purpose it should have, this is more or less same as the status quo.

This will never happen because why would the humans in power let an agi exist that is beneficial towards the general public? The idea that agi will ever be a beneficial replacement for humans certainly is a myth.

AI CEOs would be trained on human CEOs so they absolutely would.

Better slap a "safety" on there to show the administration is thinking about children.

...thinking about children's safety. Yeah, that's the ticket.

You completely glossed over the small, agile part.

A drone can do a fucking barrel roll with zero impact on its flight capabilities or passengers. Have fun with passengers when an automated passenger drone needs to quickly change thrust direction because of wind shear.

Drone swarms are groups of small, agile devices with no passengers.
