A few years ago, when California was having their bad drought, I flew through LAX airport. Went to the toilet with carry-on bag and a big winter coat. The toilets were all auto flushers. Some sort of motion detector.Toilet flushed as soon as I entered. Flushed again as I stowed my bag and took off my coat. Flushed again when I sat down. Flushed again when I got up. Flushed two more times as I put on my coat and hoisted my bag. I stood outside the stall for a minute and listened to constant flushing from the row of 10 stalls. But I'm sure they were all water saving toilets. It's a left wing state.
This is a classic of why data is not the plural anecdote. You have 2 units, one works and one doesn't. That the one that doesn't work very well is dual flush is not proof that dual flush systems are less reliable.As I said, they've been mandatory here for decades. No problems. Get a reliable unit :-)
One man's logic...If you want a broader base, then, let's look at it this way: of the many blondes I have known and worked with, not one would have crossed my mind as wife material. Whether born of deep mistrust of a personality that chooses to walk around as a fake (I know no women who have genuinely retained their baby blonde locks, though I am willing to extend trust to Scandinavia and possibly even Germany) or simply because I see their principal value as backighting material, period, the only girl I would have married was the one I did: a brunette.Maybe I only met exceptions in both camps.;-)

Hilarious. Not sure how it's left-wing logic. I'm guessing that anything Russ doesn't like/agree with is left-wing.BTW, we've had these for years here in Europe. They have two settings; one fully empties the water cistern & is perfect for clearing away solid waste, the other uses less water & is ideal for clearing urine. But that's us socialist lizard-alien commie nazis in Eurostan, so just ignore us.
That thing has always puzzled me. Isn’t saving the water actually detrimental to the environment? I mean, a more concentrated sewage is entering rivers and oceans, no?
One of my loos has a dual system and the other loo is of the old, traditional and reliable type. It works perfectly.The two-choice mother wastes a lot of water. I have been driven to a nervous state now where, every time I flush the thing, one half of the switch or the other, I end up having to wait until everything goes silent just to confirm the device has not jammed, as was it's wont, and which, undetected, ran through hours of wasted water in a land where water is both expensive and scarce.Like I say, things often improve without getting any the better.Rob
Enjoyed the pun!How does a dry urinal work? Are they exclusive to art galleries?
Indeed, even in lowly Portugal we have these for years. And those who are really left-wing-inclined can just open an old model and insert a bottle to reduce the necessary BS-cleaning-wiping flushing amount.
Rob, don't forget your brunette married a cool guy with luxuriant hair.;-)

When the Comcast Center in Philly was going up, the original idea was to install waterless urinals, saving on both water and raw materials in the plumbing. Then the pipe fitters union protested. So it was built with waterless urinals, and all the plumbing as if it was not waterless. So more then a million dollars of plumbing was installed that sits ideal and is never actually used. That's waste for you.
Well sheesh Rob, fix it!
It still is, in my dreams. Not that I dream about it much, but if I did, than it would be.When I wake up in the morning, after checking everything's still there, I swing up (slowly and carefully) to a sitting position and greet the stranger in the mirror with a smile before pulling the strands of rat's tail back together again and anchoring them with a band. It's quite a ritual now; I'd miss the old bugger if he wasn't there one morning.;-)
Every time you flush one of our new government-dictated low-flush toilets you save water. When you flush it three times to clear it, just THINK of all the water you're saving.
I'm lost - are we still talking about hair ?
