70% of those almonds are exported. But you should take a pathetic dribble of a shower.

For those who don’t know, the flow restriction plug can be removed from most shower heads. But you didn’t hear it from me.

    Yes they fucking do, but were told to limit our showers to <5 minutes, and upon occasion live by the mantra, “If it’s yellow it’s mellow, if it’s brown flush it down…”

      Problem is if you let it mellow too long it starts growing stuff in your toilet. Then you gotta bleach the damn water

      Every drop counts. On the plus side when you remove the flow restriction from your shower, you never need to shower more than 5 minutes, because you’re being pummeled with an absolutely luxurious deluge. Warm up faster, rinse off faster. It’s not even clear to me that it uses more water.

        My pressure is so high it stings without it, I mean that’s one way to get clean by grinding off the top layer of flesh.

          I didn’t like the trickle that I got, so I tried removing it, and it was high flow but not enough pressure, so I just used a drill to enlarge the hole a little bit and it’s much better.

          If American showers allowed adjustment of both pressure and temperature like most modern European ones, you wouldn’t have this issue

      That’s because they can charge us, the peasants, extra high emergency prices to reduce usage. But do the farmers get charged the same extorted rate, or are they actually subsidized?

        Nope, they have water rights and if they don’t use them they loose it so they grow alfalfa flood feilds then sell it to foreign countries
