It’s always the brand new accounts asking the strangest questions.

Interestingly enough the vet has yet failed to treat any of my sick gerbils I’ve taken there and they’ve all died. Technically not a mouse but a mole but still.

or if the wearer has facial hair.

Yeah. Here the only solution is to either shave or invest in a PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator) that are bulky and priced in the thousands.

They’re quite comfortable to wear compared to a non-powered one but you’ll look like an astronaut walking into a supermarket wearing one.

Makes sense. Doctors and nurses use face masks to protect the patient, not themselves. Respirators then again are used to protect the person wearing it from airborne particles. So in other words: masks do what they’re intented for.

Miss? You won - and now you want to ruin that.

I don’t pick the faucet models - my customers do. I just install them.

If they were unhappy with the previous one, they’d choose something different next time, but they don’t. To me, that says they see zero issue with it.

I can literally walk into any house around here, and the bathroom faucet will be nearly identical to this one. Kitchen faucets are bigger, and most places have a utility sink too, but this is the standard for bathrooms.

I have installed ones that I think were genuinely bad as well but again - the customer chose it, not me. I’m not going to start talking them out of it.

The brand I recommend them to use does have multiple different designs in their catalog but people rarely buy those but rather prefer the standard one like the one in the picture.

I genuinely don’t see the issue with that. I’ve installed probably around 500 faucets in my career, and not once has a customer ever pushed for a different model just because they don’t want to make physical contact with the sink.

I’d get it if it was so tight it actually got in the way of washing your hands, but that’s not the case here.

I have no trouble with it myself.

I said brand, not model.

My hands fit under it just fine though.

I meant the toilet itself.

And yes.

This came with installation hardware too, but a lot of new toilets don’t even have holes for bolts nowadays. The adhesive is more than sufficient to hold it down to the floor tiles. The silicone caulking I use to tidy it up afterwards just adds to that hold.

The main reason to not use bolts is to avoid drilling into the floor and puncturing the water proofing membrane or floor heat pipes/cables.

I try talking all my customers into this brand because of the quality and how serviceable they are. They ought to be paying me commission.

I just replaced one that was 38 years old.

I’ve never seen a toilet seat that wasn’t bolted to the toilet.

First time for everything. It’s a friction fit.

But yeah I mean the toilet. In my language toilet refers to the entire room and toilet seat is the thing you shit into.

Yeah, silicone-like adhesive. It sits on top of a cabinet, and that’s exactly how the manufacturer says to install it. Toilet seat got glued in as well.

Never. I dont even nap at home. Sleeping during daytime only makes me more tired.

I typically use it untill it becomes unusable. Typically around 5 to 6 years I guess. On my last phone I had changed so many parts it was practically a new phone.

Tends to me mostly making-related stuff. Woodworking, house repairs, engine fixing and working with machinery, log cabins and homesteading, alternative living, EDC and gadgets, guns, offroading, dash- and bodycam videos, informational vids on random topics, movie analyses, geopolitics, prepping…

The algorithm gets a ton of crap, but in my narrow case, it actually does a solid job feeding me content I’m genuinely into.

AI has existed since 1956

I thought that a bank account is like Scrooge McDuck’s lair with piles of money and treasures and every time my parents told me that we can’t afford something I just told them to withdraw from their bank account.

I also thought that roundabouts were for when you don’t know where you’re going so you can drive circles there.

It’s not all good but it’s an improvement.
