What mechanism?
I know how to fix the stuff in the tank, and that's all working properly afaict.

I don't understand how a hose would fix the issue better than flushing. They're both using water.

Once I get a house and can buy my own toilet, I'ma get a bidet... But I'm not fucking with the plumbing of an apartment. And I don't see how that'd solve this specific issue.

My apartment building is 15 years old, so about that old.

Honestly this might not be low flow, it could just be poor design. Or like you said, a plumbing problem.

Even when it doesn't get clogged (which it often does), stuff will often come back up if I don't flush twice. Since more water seemed to be the solution, I assumed the problem was low flow.

I live in an apartment, I didn't get to choose 😔

Wat?

I can't tell if this is an accusation or satire

I'm not really convinced that file compression was "mature" at the time. Text compression was reasonable progressed but image compression was created for a reason besides just a requirement for fixed compression ratio.

But I do agree that dithering was limited in it's usefulness.

My point was just that dithering existed in print media, so it was one of the first ways they used to reduce image size, they just copied over the same technique

If you can, then they can, because they don't have to pay for the bureaucracy, no need for testing and accurate labeling, etc.

What do you mean "at the time"?
What time are you talking about?

I'm in Canada where it is legal everywhere.
Since weed is so crazy inexpensive to grow, drug dealers have just dropped the price to where legal growers can't compete due to the price of bureaucracy and process and things like having to actually test for potency and label appropriately.

I mean, that's what dithering is
An artifact that your brain processes as something else.

People can get addicted to anything.
If the addiction isn't a chemical dependence, and isn't inherently extremely harmful, then I think it should be accessible and addiction support should be available.

Cannabis is legal here, and the level of addiction you're describing is both very uncommon, and typically just exacerbating issues caused by other drugs or mental illness.
