  • Or just use your aging sponges in a rotating lifecycle. I have 4 stages/sponges at one time that slowly get demoted as they age.

    1. New sponge only gets light jobs. Scrapped clean dishes, pans that just need the oil washed off.

    2. Middle stage wear is used for stuck on foods and generally more gross dishes.

    3. Not usable for dishes, but good for counter/stove tops.

    4. Dirty jobs. Nothing food related. Floors, bathrooms, use with disinfectants.


  • My family gives me street and road names, landmarks, etc… which doesn’t work for me.

    What I really need is an address so that I can drive to the location once. After that, in my head I’m telling myself, “fork to the right, weird house, sharp turn, field, slow down because it’s right after the old barn.”

    Either that, or I need them to say something like “remember where the old movie theater used to be? The one where your brother broke his tooth? It’s the road to the left next to the gas station and it’s the third driveway on the right.”

    After I drive somewhere once I can just get a feeling when I’m close to where I need to turn, or need to be, but for that first drive, you better give me exact coordinates.





  • I just accidentally deleted my original comment.

    Heres I what I deleted.

    There’s a few things a bunch of other commenters are getting wrong, at least from my understanding.

    The AC compressor is run by a belt from the engine. Unlike a home AC, a vehicles AC is either on or off. There is no cycling. The temp control is just changing how much outside air comes in, or how much heat is drawn from the engine.

    The fan speed is not going to effect anything at all. The alternator spins to generate electricity to recharge the battery, but the amount of energy required to spin it doesn’t change based on how much electricity is being drawn.

    Tamping your AC down in any way, whether by lowering fan speed, or increasing the temperature is less efficient. Use it at it’s coldest temp and highest fan speed if you’re going to use it at all.

    Edit: I almost forgot to add that AC efficiency is going to be more closely tied to your driving speed and outside air temperature. Driving faster makes your AC more efficient (not necessarily your whole car). More air passing over the evaporators means more heat released from your AC to the outside, which makes colder air in your car. The colder the air outdoors, the more heat the AC can release to the outdoors, which means colder air in your car.

    As for EVs, I have entirely no clue, but I would assume it’s a similar situation.

    Edit: I may be entirely wrong. I’m not sure about anything anymore. I know a guy who knows all about these things, let me get him down here tomorrow and we can go from there.

    Edit 2: I meant to make an edit and accidentally deleted my comment. I actually did meet with my guy. Im also too tired to work a phone. Can’t wait to share what I understood from what my guy said.

    Everyone is choosing red because they think they would be rich, but would they?

    Imagine having the knowledge, that you knowingly stepped back in time, and all of your memories are now not real. They won’t happen again unless you actually act exactly as you had before. No one believes anything you say because you are 6. You’re forced to go through school again at 6.

    Let’s say you use your genius to progress quickly through school. Those sorts of kids become famous prodigies. You would end up on the talk show circuit with Ellen.

    You would also know way more about your parents than you should at that age, and cause familial issues that would land you on Dr. Phil.

    Imagine how torturous it would be to relive every moment, not being able to convince anyone of anything due to your age, unless you give up the fact that you were somehow sent back in time and know the future. Would you be able to convince your family without going insane? Would any government agency take qcute interest in your foresight? Imagine having to keep a level head while also going through puberty a second time.

    How much will your presence affect the timeline? Maybe your first big move to get rich causes all subsequent moves to not exist. Maybe your parents hate you. Maybe it’s chaos theory. Maybe you end up taking a path away from opulence and become an addict due to the constant anxiety, regret and boredom. Maybe you become a nihilistic mess that drives you to a worse life than you had before.

    I’d take the definite of $10M. I know what I would do with it right now. I know it would be good.

    Edit: a downvote without a reply telling me how I’m wrong is really an upvote.







  • A boy is throwing rocks into a lake. With each splash he worries that someone will tell him to stop. He starts with pebbles but after each toss and satisfying bloop, he feels a bit better and starts throwing larger and larger rocks.

    As he picks up a large stone of 5lbs, he notices a family making their way to the beach. He drops the stone in a panic directly onto his foot and screeches in pain. The father of the family runs to the boys side. Without asking, he picks up the boy and carries him to a nearby boulder, sits him down and inspects the boys bleeding wound.

    “What were you doing?” The father asked.

    “I was seeing how far I could make it” replied the boy.


    You’re not the evil you think you are. It’s late but I’ll get back to you in the morning. PM me in the mean time.
