  • You shouldn’t buy based on promises or assumptions. But if I had to guess, I’d say an OLED panel may come eventually. And it would likely be backwards compatible.

    Original FW13 owners already had the original glossy panel, then the new matte higher resolution panel came out as a drop in replacement, and now this new touch panel is also a drop in replacement.

    I already have a FW13 with the matte high res panel, I won’t be going to touch panel. But maybe if they do an OLED I’d jump to it.

    My plan is not to upgrade unless I need to. If something breaks, it’ll get the newest version of whatever that thing is.

    Unless I feel hampered by my 7040u in 3 or 4 years, then maybe I’ll do something about it? But I really don’t need that much horsepower in my life.

    I’m just glad I have the option. And happy to support a company giving me the option.


  • Oh I’m definitely in the slow category, according to the cars behind me.

    Don’t get me wrong, I do the speed limit, and heck still sometimes the appropriate “5 over” if there’s cars behind me.

    But that’s not enough for most people, they race around me anyway.

    But more than just not speeding up when I see the red light, I watch the light from farther away. It’s very flat here, and if you pay attention you can see the light turning from 10 or 20 seconds away, and adjust appropriately. You can even time the light to know it’ll turn red before you get there.

    I’m not counting seconds or anything, it’s more of a vibe check. “That light has been green a looong time, it’s definitely turning red before I get there.”

    So depending on who’s behind me and ahead of me and how far away I am, I’ll either start coasting down to maybe 5 or 10 under as I approach, that way I can use my brakes even less.

    I get pretty good at it with the lights on my way to work. But some lights are un-timable. Their timing is almost purposely designed to waste gas.

    And one stretch of lights changes depending on time of day to create a unidirectional flow of traffic. You’ll hit every green going south at 3pm, but every red going north. Stuff like that.

    Using brakes is wasted gas, lost efficiency. I get a whole 5 or 6 more mpg driving my wife’s car, than when she drives it. Maybe more. Every time I drive it I watch the average tick up. For her it hovers around 25/26. I’ve seen over 31 in the same car.

    Again I’m not the guy who painfully slowly accelerates, angering everyone. I know how to stand on the pedal when I need to. I just pay attention, and accelerate and brake maybe a little more smoothly.








  • I don’t care for those, not enough pressure for me to effectively wash away soap.

    I start by rotating for even heating. Soap my hair facing away, rinse it facing. Wash face facing. Conditioner hair away. Step completely out of the water to quickly scrub neck to feet with soapy loofa. Facing to rinse hair/face. The rotating and rinsing top to bottom.

    Done. In and out in 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty I was, and therefore how hard I had to scrub.

    I used to use a valve on the head itself to turn off the water completely during scrubbing, but I didn’t get a new one when I moved so I got out of the habit.

    I should buy one again. Saves water, costs less.





  • Hmmm, look at the labels. They each say something something “100”.

    Not the right language, but maybe something like per 100? Like per 100 grams of water? Or… something about volume?

    IDK, it would be a weird way to do it. But something like that might explain why so much sugar, seemingly more than can fit in the can.

    Sugar is heavy, there’s no way 39 grams is the same size as the can

    Edit: gandalf seems to have the right idea here! https://sh.itjust.works/comment/24686999

    Edit2: wait, a can has 300+ grams of fluid in it… So the sugar would be 1/3 of what the whole can would be. This actually makes the picture more confusing 🤔

    Edit 3:

    Behold, 39 grams of sugar. About one shot glass worth.

    Here’s that glass next to a can. I don’t have any soda pop in the house.
