Rikkitic:

Why don't I understand half the things being discussed here?

That's generally the question I ask myself while on pretty much any thread on GZ...

Is it just me, or is Spark 4G as slow as 3G used to be back in the day? I'm sure that even a few months ago it didn't take almost a minute to upload a single photo.

I've been wondering the same about VF 4G, to be honest.

Maybe Apple sent a signal to my phone (SE 2022) in February. "You're no longer a current model, so slow down."

How often do you re-use bath towels before washing them? Do you wash them after just one use, or do you re-use them a couple of times, or make it last up to a week?

Until they need it. If you're using the shower correctly then the dirt will be washed away in the shower, not wiped onto the towel (exception: kids) so there's no need to wash them constantly. Even the thought of washing them after each use, apart from the huge waste of water and electricity from using a towel exactly once before washing it again, means they'd end up like sandpaper after awhile.

Regular towels get washed weekly, or more often if they get dirty - mostly kids' towels, adults tend to wash the dirt off in the shower 😂
Hand towels may get replaced more frequently depending on the volume of visitors, but they go in the weekly towels wash.
Visitors' towels get washed on their departure.

In theory you are clean when you use them, but unless you are brutalising yourself, you will still be offloading oils and skin when you dry yourself. I usually go off smell, but I have a 3 day limit regardless.

On the subject, a related question would be "when do you toss a towel"? No matter how much you pay for them they all seem to go threadbare after awhile and/or turn into 60 grit sandpaper.

Why do people need rules for this sort of thing? You toss it if it no longer does the job or doesn't feel good. You wash it if it needs washing. You wrap yourself in it and stand in front of the mirror if it makes you feel sexy!

For my "when do you toss it" question I wasn't looking for rules, more comments from others on when they consider tossing it. In my case it's often "when you can read a newspaper through it", which is probably a bit too long.

The answers are interesting. I tend to put it in the wash after two or three uses. I've just moved in with my partner and I noticed she keeps her towels in use for longer. No right or wrong answer, just interested in the range of responses.

For the "get rid of it" question, if it's getting threadbare or torn it gets recycled into rags.
