plastic straws or paper

alright my hydro enthusiasts do we like flimsy paper straws that do save the turtles or do we like more hydronically efficient forms of transferring water from point A to B (my cup to my mouth) without direct contact, quenching thirst for the great blue liquid

Does an entry level hands on technician use google a lot?

Searching up error codes and their fixes on old forum posts, google, youtube, or articles seems like an efficient way of troubleshooting an unrecognized issue as obviously nobody can remember every single possible issue's fix or errorcode meaning, but how often does that happen?

How much should I have memorized, if I've built multiple computers and have basic certs is that skilled enough for a job? Surely if it were that easy everybody would just repair their tech issues at home with googling and the occasional youtube

Airpods Pro 2 not working with Windows 10

Initially my airpods were labeled as airpods pro 2 - find my without usable stereo on windows so I factory reset it and it worked for a minute, making the name normal also, but then it automatically disconnected and when reconnecting no sound would play through it once again.

After the factory reset, when connecting to my phone they say "Not your airpods" even though they are mine bought directly from amazon. It'll work on my phone but then it'll change the Windows 10 name back to find my like theyre lost

How do people living comfortably hate anyone richer than them?

If you truly care enough to be saying X rich person should donate to Y but aren't donating yourself while living very comfortably then thats hypocrisy.

Where's the line? Sure it'd be nice if billionaires would use their money to donate to the needy, and many actually do (even if its not out of the kindness of their hearts e.g. tax writeoffs). But someone making 100 grand yearly has the money to donate but most dont for the same reasons billionaires don't, its their hard earned money.

I'm convinced most highly vocal leftists subconsciously are only in it for the sake of being part of a group, like in highschool nobody wants to be on the outside and politics is an easy way to have the illusion of being on the inside of a group

Why is Autism and ADHD so common suddenly?

yes yes I know autism and all that has been around for a while but it's pretty clear there's a recent surge in mental disabilities for lack of a better term.

Is it really so common or are people collecting them like infinity stones to have a definable, quirky trait of theirs?

It seems like after the internet really took off, especially post-2020, everybody just wants to be part of a unique group whether that's being different mentally or attempting to present themselves as being big into hobbies which they aren't.

I'm sure that's SOME of the cases as getting diagnosed with anything mentally, I've found isn't that thorough; it's essentially up to the person on the way answers to test questions are phrased. But does striving to be part of the ADHD club really account for the majority of recent ADHD cases?

Genuine question btw, I'm aware I'll probably get downvoted. I could see the answer going either way honestly, I'm not educated enough on the topic to have a great idea of what the answer may be

Music Documentaries like "Hype!"

What are some of the absolute best rock/metal documentaries that cover more than a single band? Something that covers the whole scene and vibe or culture of it back then. Or perhaps it'll introduce me to more niche bands

Not interested in punk unless its really good
