restrictor at the inlet of the fixture,

That's what I was saying, make it bigger or if you are fancy make small holes around it, of course the shower head has got nothing to do with it.

if you've gotta take the showerhead off anyway, may as well just replace it. They can get pretty disgusting in a few years anyway.

Just soak it in CLR or vinegar if you don't have any. Landfills are pretty busy already so please don't throw away perfectly good stuff.

Are you sure something can orbit the Earth at a constant 52 degree latitude relative to Earth at all times? It doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Picture it it with the Earth rotating, moving in space etc. On top of that it's a rogue satellite!

Try with a globe and a marble or a ping-pong ball, we should come to the same conclusions. IMHO, the only latitude where you can orbit over constantly is 0, the equator.

So in the end, 14/20 seems a better approximation IMHO.

The guys pulling wire usually aren't electricians, they're helpers or maybe apprentices. Actual electricians cost more like $60-$80 per hour, sometimes more. Don't believe me? Hire one to do some electrical work in your house.

Exactly, a friend of mine is a qualified electrician and dudes come in before him in your new house to pull the wires before he goes there. He basically reviews everything and only plug the wire into the electrical box and makes the connection to the grid. He makes ~$200,000 a year. He relies on good staff although to do the rest of the job (e.g. pulling the wires and plug the AC outlets) properly. The helpers only have to know how to screw the wires correctly in the outlets, respect standards in the way the wires go through the walls and follow the plan he gives them. He puts his signature on everything so he is ultimately responsible for everything.

Too bad Ted Kaczynski passed away in 2023, I would have been curious to ask him the question. /s

He was a mathematics prodigy, but abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a reclusive primitive lifestyle and lone wolf

When an API can use weak passwords, it can also generate its own certificate independently from any web certificate authority like for example, openvpn with easyrsa which generates its own certificate independently so your point is really moot. For web certificates used for access for the public at large, there is no weak password option. Furthermore, for internal web sites, you will still be able to generate your own certificates internally and independently and have them last several years if you wish. The trick is to add the CA certificate to the browsers.
