Hehe, yeah. In the oldendays there was newspaper as an option for drying glass streak-free. It was never the best choice luckily, but it used to be prevalent. A squeegee was the old better solution, and a microfiber cloth is the new better solution.

Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn’t qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though… not to sell myself short, but not super far off.
If you are catching spray, try to increase the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Same deal for rocks in places where that is a concern. It can be hard to leave a big gap, for fear that someone will come into that gap, but you can’t fix everyone, you can only fix you.
But, we also do have wipers for anything that happens during the current drive, not as good as not getting dirty in the first place, but better than staying dirty.
It was general advice for the situation, not specific to the image. There are many things that can cause it to be much more difficult to see when driving towards a low sun than it actually needs to be. It’s not a great situation at it’s best, but it shouldn’t be fully debilitating.
I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.
I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.
If you’ve ever watched or read anything with that “wise old hermit” that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can’t function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.
Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.
Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.
If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.
It was believable though, because bluetooth has always been randomly a nightmare.

152·26 days agoThere is no actual advantage, they are restricted from competing for 2 years after transitioning, and any advantage is already lost during the first year.
Basically, the problem was already solved decades ago. Since that 2 year period was implemented, there has -provably- never been a case of unfair advantage. Any of the ones hitting the news lately have all been disproven.
Anyone still trying to push for it now has not actually looked into it and believing disinformation spread by, at best ignorant people and at worst hateful people.
No one transitions with regards to how they will perform at sports. People transition for themselvrs, and some percentage of people also like competing at sports. They don’t want to never be able to compete again due to random unrelated or unaffected people not knowing they don’t have an advantage.
That is why people that say dumb stuff like you are doing, get downvoted. Please actually look it up, instead of just guessing and being another spreader.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?
1·27 days agoHehe, honestly, I kind of enjoy the forced introspective time. Forced is a harsh word, but introspectiveness is kind of nice. I don’t really fight it all that hard, hehe. I do conserve water if we are in tough water times locally, but otherwise, I just make sure I have an hour free before I go in.

5·29 days agoHypersensory Autism, in my case. But both are relatively common, so could be what it is in many peoples cases here. For me a shower is so much sensory input, I am basically forced introspective. Takes alot of willpower to keep awareness and move to the next thing on the checklist.

6·29 days agoUnless the water at the bottom of your shower is several feet deep, the water pressure in a shower is gonna be nearly 0. You can leave the phone off most of the time, just have it there to jot something down. Ideally, you want it as unobtrusive as possible anyway since the whole point of thinking well in the shower is not having distractions.
Mine just sits there on the checklist 99% of the time, and I just made the checklist in the same notes app, so I don’t even have to leave the app to write stuff down.

61·29 days agoSo many suggestions for putting your phone near the shower but outside of it… phones are waterproof now. I just bring my phone with me in the shower now, and use my notes app to write down anything I don’t want to forget. I was already using it for a shower checklist, since I find it pretty hard to function in the shower. Also doubles as a way to consistently clean my phone, which is a nice plus, I likely wouldn’t remember to specifically clean it very often otherwise.
If your phone has a charge port plug, make sure to keep that in during the shower, if it doesn’t have a plug, keep the port oriented down, or you may have to wait a couple hours to be able to charge after. I’ve had my last couple phones in the shower hundreds of times now over the past 10 years, only had it happen twice where the charge port got too wet and had to dry before I could charge it, and neither time was when the battery was low enough for it to matter.

3·1 month agoThe only hope at this point is that it’s so broken by the end that no amount of “tweaking” the current plan/formula is worth doing. Would at least be nice if the light at the end of the tunnel is that a whole new modern way of life will be possible to rebuild from the ashes. Even without trump breaking it further, the current plan wasn’t going well, long term. It’s going worse now, but in an unsustainable way. The old plan would have taken much longer to get this much worse.
Hehe, that doorknob. I can see why it has to be closer to her hands when the door is open, but it makes you wonder at the mechanics of it. How much did she have to pay someone to rig it up that way, or did she work it out herself?
The worst part is, if the sign only said the instant death part, it would be a worse deterrent. Like, despite how funny it is to also have a fine, it’s a much more useful sign like this.
As an add-on to this, some people are inherently better at meditation to start with. So hearing from other people how short their journey was from “meditation is just a waste of time” to “after some practice it started to be more effective” can be really discouraging for people where that journey can be years. But everyone can get good at meditating. And generally, the harder or more useless it seems to start out, the more you need what it offers.
