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…”

    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.

    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?
