I got on the "no 'poo (shampoo)" wagon a couple years back and it was rough going for maybe, 2 months? Eventually your bodies self-cleaning mechanisms start doing their job again and my hair was looking better than ever. After realizing the human body was essentially self-cleaning I tried a "no-wipe" regimen and holy cow, this was rough. Constant itching and discomfort. Frequently found spots on my undergarments. I cannot describe the temptation to just duck into a restroom for a single wipe. It was at its absolute worst when I was jogging. I basically couldn't do anything that caused my back to sweat which totally upset my fitness routine and impacted my weight. I personally wouldn't recommend trying to quit toilet paper but I didn't have a bidet so maybe OP knows something I don't.

looks like the apple car isn't proceeding smoothly, I guess the question is are they smart enough to kill the whole initiative if it looks like it's not going to pan out

quote:

Apple has placed a hiring freeze on the team responsible for the company's nascent automotive ambitions after executives became unhappy with the project's direction and progress, AppleInsider has learned.

The change was precipitated by a post-holiday progress review conducted by Apple design chief Jony Ive, according to a previously reliable source with knowledge of the team's activities. Ive is said to have "expressed his displeasure" with the group's headway.

In all, Apple is believed to have more than 1,000 people working on Project Titan at sites both inside and outside of Cupertino. Hiring was so aggressive that Apple's poaching of engineering talent from Tesla is thought to have had a "big impact" on the Elon Musk-led company's ability to keep up with development of future vehicles.

The news comes days after a report that Steve Zadesky, a longtime Apple engineering lead who was initially put in charge of Project Titan, would leave the company. It's not immediately clear whether Zadesky's departure — said to be for "personal reasons" — is related to the staffing restrictions.

how/why do these people extend the "self-cleaning" concept from "you don't need to disinfect yourself to stay healthy" (it's true) to "human bodies naturally smell pleasant" (they don't)

it only has one pedal, but it's touch sensitive. to accelerate you press with one toe, to decelerate you press with two toes.

people complain that driving without shoes is a violation of the law in many states, but apple doesn't respond.

a robust third party market springs up creating electrically conductive shoes for driving your iCar.

later, a man will be electrocuted when the improperly strain-relieved HV charging cable in his garage frays, shorts out in a pool of melted snow, and conducts the current through the soles of his iShoes into his heart

waifs's christmas iPad pro report

the larger size is fantastic, Ive always used the regular iPad because of papers/textbooks and since thats already too big to put in a pocket this is just more iPad without any more hassle

some nice QOL iOS improvements like having the number row in the on-screen keyboard

split screen apps are great, like iBooks beside notability is basically perfect for what I need to do, but apple's own apps really need some work, right now for example you can't have two iBooks pages open side by side, so PDFs in landscape look ridiculous taking up only half the screen, and epubs that fill the screen with text are like reading a novel printed on magazine-size paper, easy to get lost

wife went whole hog and bought the keyboard case with matching back cover for something like $350 CAD, ludicrous but the case quality is nice, and I think the keyboard is fine but I wouldnt wanna work on it all day; that said I prefer it over the new macbook keyboard as it has a big more give and a nice tactile surface that will no doubt get gummed up and lovely looking in short order - all that poo poo adds a ton of weight though and makes it feel like you're toting a laptop instead of an iPad so I'd recommend trying to go without it

the pencil is absolutely loving fantastic and this cannot be overstated, iPad pro + pencil DESTROYS any cintiq Ive ever used and with the astropad app it works perfectly to control photoshop, zbrush etc - I haven found a way to control a windows box as well (e.g. sending pencil pressure/tilt data) but hopefully someone comes up with that soon so I can just put a lovely PC with a big GPU in the closet and control it from the couch - anyway I suspect the small cintiqs are going to be absolutely crushed in the market as iPad pro kills it in performance and does a lot more for less money

that said even without the PC hookup apps like procreate and concept are great - youre not gonna do 200 layer comps with them but the brush/tool flexibility is huge and according to my ex-ILM digital artist uncle he figures it would be good enough for anyone with a traditional media background - that said it's disappointing that apple's own Notes app is still easily the best Pencil demo but no doubt the software will catch up to the hardware over time

I got it for my wife because she loves her loving iPad, only reaches for her mac when she needs to type out some long poo poo, she's always drawing and sketching stuff, and she reads a lot of magazines in Next Issue/Texture, so her needs are currently being suited out the rear end
