Huh, you got me looking and there's an interesting article from Brookings. It's from 2017 so obviously things will probably change, but it DOES have that really interesting divide, and the per-capita usage is REALLY interesting!

But also from my limited knowledge of pools (especially long-term installations) they're pretty good at retaining water and being a RELATIVELY closed system once full, so you'd just have the HUGE initial fill usage, then occasionally smaller maintenance top-ups?

I'd be curious to see if the usage balances out, where cities have higher per-capita 'necessary' usage like drinking/washing/sewage but lower 'frivolous' use like pools/yards/etc., and suburbs have the opposite.

I mean, the trouble with that is that it’s not INHERENTLY wrong, in that large-scale efficient cooling DOES have a lot of ‘unnatural’ parts and processes.
Like you’re figuratively taking air, stealing heat, moving the heat elsewhere, and releasing it away from you.

IME, most people talking about wastefulness of cities in hot areas have generally meant the water consumption?

I assumed so, and was only teasing :). Sorry if it came off otherwise, it’s amazing work!

And I wasn’t DISagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that there’s many reasons a person might not hold onto something after an event.
It could be a lack of conviction/investment, yes, but it could also be for safety, space reasons, a lack of attachment to physical items, or other reasons.

If I understand the point you’re trying to make, it’s that you feel people discarding protest signs immediately shortly shows a lack of conviction and investment in that protest, and by extension their own fight.
Am I understanding your point correctly?

Especially if they’re made of paper, the only signs I kept are made of thin wood!

I’m more a fan of Houdini for keyways and locks, it doesn’t leave any residue!

I’ve talked about it a lot but Discworld made me a better person and that’s a big reason I’m such an evangelist for it
there is a lot of stuff you can read as a teenager that will set you on a particular path, much of it bad
Discworld will teach you to care about people

WD40 CAN free stuck parts or make things more freer by removing corrosion that’s inhibiting movement.
That’s not ‘lubrication’, though.
