      How else are we going to persecute the environment without the new Environmental Persecution Agency?

        Fuck, I’m glad I wasn’t around for that. I lived in Tulsa in the early 90s and it fucking smelled like smog shit all the time out there. Glad it didn’t have the added lead the 70s did at least but I’m not looking forward to that shit again if that’s where we’re heading

    While I think a lot of the shit Trump is doing with the EPA is stupid I do agree with the shower head stuff. As someone with thick hair it takes like 2x as long with a low pressure head than it does with a standard one.

      There’s something very American about prioritizing shower comfort over preventing the destruction of the planet.

        Isn’t residential water usage around 10% of the total water usage? I don’t think shower heads make much difference.

          I love them, I love long showers and with one of those shower heads the hot water tank never runs out.

        The restricted flow shower heads make it so that it takes a lot longer to rinse your hair. It probably works out to a wash whether that is better for the environment versus having slightly higher water flow.

      sounds like you bought the wrong shower head or just need to twist it to a different flow pattern

      You can pop out the water restrictor in the shower head pretty easily. It took me like five minutes with nothing but a screw driver. My water pressure was so bad that I thought the house had a problem. It was the water restrictor.
