Yeah, my cat taps you and plays with claws out. Not clipping them would mean a lot of unnecessary snagging, scratching, and pain that's easily avoided.

Sync has a ton built in, so just a button click.

This is kind of like complaining that you have to own a Switch to play Nintendo 1st party games.

Portal is a Valve game. Steam is the PC launcher for Valve games.

FWIW, Portal was available on other platforms without Steam. I had my copy of the Orange Box for the Xbox 360 and that didn't require Steam or a Steam account to play.

This seems like a worse deal than what Epic's been offering though. Haven't they been giving lump sum payments to developers to go exclusive with their store for a set time?

Depends. My main community on Reddit was effectively a link aggregate for a niche hobby that's well over a million subscribers at this point. And when the reddit blackout happened, it became extremely clear that there isn't another community out there that aggregates just as much content as they have there.

Lemmy just doesn't have the tools in terms of tagging and wiki to be able to replace what they've got yet.

Sure, carriages and stagecoaches existed. Rickshaws too for that matter, depending where you were in the world.

We also called them carriages, stagecoaches, and rickshaws, not taxis.

There were also handsom cabs, but I don't know if they used taximeters before they became electric in 1897, as they are not referred to as 'taxis' until 1897. The modern taximeter was invented in 1891, but the first taxicab to be equipped with it was in 1897 (and it was gas powered, not electric).

The 'taxi' part in taxicab doesn't refer to driving someone around, btw. It refers to the meter used to derive how much you pay. Nowadays, we would use it to to refer to someone driving you around though, because that's how language changes.

I would find the skin showing to be much more comfortable than the suit if we're in the summer heat, tbh.

There is a lot of chatter that I've seen in other instances where Beehaw's stance ranckled a number of folks.

That would give a yeast infection, not UTI. Your vagina isn't connected to your urinary tract.

Well, for starters, you don't pee from your vagina. You could get a yeast infection, yes, but that's a different issue.

That said, if your bidet is angled so it's hitting your vagina or, especially, your urethra, it's likely not installed correctly or you're sitting way far back on your toilet.*

• There are bidets you can get with the option to angle for washing period blood away, but they tell you in the instructions to wash your butt first so that you don't get bacteria into your vagina, and you also don't need to use that function either. I never found it super useful myself, so I'd recommend the cheaper version without that function these days.

If the water in your pipes is that cold, you're likely looking at a burst pipe issue anyway

Is your toilet a urinal then? I imagine that's already awkward to shit in.
