toilets

Especially considering that a lot of public toilets and even hotel indicate that water from the tap is not safe.

Of course, your claim that toilets last only a few years only means more money wasted on these gizmos, not less.

Here in NYC, the Municipality has only introduced three pay toilets in the last 9 years or so.

As for pay toilets being illegal - it's an incredible history of why things are the way they are.

Not the bowl, inside the water passages, they get constricted, the toilets lose their flush action.

In addition, although japan has some awesome toilettes, it also has some very un-awesome toilets that lack seats and require squatting.

Combining keyboards and festival toilets, the two dirtiest things known to mankind, only seems logical.

Do you think those who wash public toilets, just happened to have chosen that career?

At the CCC Camp there is something called the Datenklo (Data toilet) where they use festival toilets as weatherproofing for network equipment.

I would not expect it to work when the entire room, toilets included, are filled with water.

My old work place had 1.25 gpf toilets and those thing could flush a giraffe (niagra conservation flaperless, i've extolled their virtues before).

Some people who are used to squatting toilet would squat on seated toilets.

Wouldn't the toilets just continuously "flush" due to the water pressure, the same way as they flush if you manually dump a bucket of water into a regular toilet?

Companies can also make an employee's life miserable in many ways to "encourage" them to leave (no raises, move their desk next to the toilets, deny their vacation requests due to "emergencies", etc.).

What happened at 6116 Executive Blvd in Rockville, MD is that the big fat Federal client moved even farther outside the beltway to new digs in Gaithersburg, Maryland (to another, newer office complex.) New place is one of those "faux green" buildings where everything like the light switches, blinds, faucets and toilets don't work intuitively if they even work at all.
