The whole situation isn't very good, no matter how you look at it.

As long as they are going to limit us to a 1.6 gallon flush, they should mount the tanks up by the ceiling again, like they used to in the olden days. Then the flush would have some force behind it.

They still make them, they even make tanks that hide up in the wall, but that won't help if the bowl exit is not shaped properly.

You never see that blue shit in the water anymore. Was that just a fad? Is it still a thing in some parts of the country?

I'm picturing a lacrosse-type action.

It clashes with the décor and turns the dog blue.

They still make it but my BIL, the plumber, says it's the worst thing for the rubber and plastic parts in the tank. (flapper, gaskets, etc)

Yeah, I went looking for something similar when we had a perpetual mold problem in my stepkids' toilet tank (since it goes for 2 weeks at time without getting flushed,) and the internet and later a plumber assured me that the stuff would dissolve the internal workings of a toilet within 1-2 years.

Today I learned that Jupiter has sixty moons! When I went to fact check that DeGrasse fellow's claim, Wikipedia says sixty-seven! Regardless, Wow!

I wonder how big a satellite has to be, to be considered a moon.

BigV · 04-08-2014, 01:57 PM

detectable. there are billions of moons in our own solar system, since the definition of moon is natural object orbiting a planet. the rings of saturn are comprised of many, many, many "moons". Since you aksed.

On safari the other day, I saw this example of what they (around here) call barn art. It's usually a loft door, sometimes the main doors, or the side of the barn.

And, today, I learned about the Ninth Infantry Division, "The Old Reliables".
