When I was six or eight my parents were looking at houses and one had a bidet in the master suite bathroom, the kind that sprays up from the bottom of the bowl. I legitimately thought it was a water fountain for drinking and excitedly pointed it out to my parents. They did not buy that house.
I wanting to hijack this thread and ask people what model seats you use? I bought a BioBidet Uspa from Costco on sale for $200. It has all the features of the well-regarded Toto Washlets but I found the spray was not very “focused” so cleaning wasn’t as effective with it as others I’ve randomly been able to try. This meant it usually took quite a few passes with both spray and TP to get clean (still, less TP than if that was all I used). I think the big cost difference between the Uspa and the Toto is they used much cheaper components than Toto. Three years on it’s broken just outside of the warranty period. The manufacturer has offered to consider applying the warranty but would probably still involve some costs. I’m thinking this might be the time to just upgrade to a better model.
Toto seems like the historic go-to choice and I’m assuming they should still be good quality. With my IBS it might be worth spending the money. But I’d like to know real-world recommendations on what people use, and I suppose how recent their model is.
I saw one like this at a hotel in Austria once and was trying to figure out how to use it. I couldn’t figure out how the water stream was supposed to spray and clean coming out the side like that. Do you almost lay on it, face down or on your back to get it to spray your bum clean?
It never occurred to me that the spray wouldn’t be used to clean at all.
I remember a really smart, very nerdy family friend telling us about Linux around 1997/98 and this was the experience he described. It sounded interesting but also like a crazy amount of work.
I don’t have time to watch this ten+ minute video but seeing this post sitting at -22 points has me wondering if the video sucks or struck a nerve with the extremist users of the fediverse?
I feel confident in assuming the guy who would wear this shirt seeking “girls” between the ages of 18 and 26 is himself no younger than 45.
They’re marketed as being recyclable along with the cans that might appear at a picnic. Whether they actually get recycled is another question; I’ve seen more picnic shelters with recycling bins, but certainly not all.
Some buyers in their online reviews said they were washing and reusing the cups instead of recycling them. I don’t know how effective that is but assume it’s fine. They would be a better choice than glass at places like pools where glass is prohibited.
As someone who has done no programming since taking C++ in high school more than 20 years ago, what do you mean by safer language?
It might not qualify her for disability insurance, as in she no longer needs to work any jobs, but should absolutely entitle her to disability protections, as in job requirements should be modified to permit her to continue to work. If her employer is not making accommodations to permit her to continue to work then she might have a legal case.
I mostly see them used for 1/2-gallon milk and small juice containers in the U.S. I’m in Canada right now and see them being used a lot for large juice containers also. I could see glass used for those (as they were in the past) but with the higher risk of breakage it’s not as ideal, but have a harder time picturing aluminum being used for milk and at least some of the more acidic juices. Does aluminum work with those beverages?
You seem informed on the subject: I’ve recently seen aluminum single-use cups advertised, targeting the same market as red plastic cups commonly seen at picnics. Those plastic cups are rarely recyclable, so I’m assuming the aluminum kind are more eco-friendly assuming they get recycled, even with high energy usage?
And now they’re bankrupt!
As long as they didn’t bring any whistles with them they’ll be fine!

I saw they were also used by companies like DoorDash, Uber, and UpWork to verify remote contractors.

I look forward to the lawsuits that will ultimately cost this man his job.
Your Little Caesars restaurants have tables?!
I think that’s why the warranty was three years instead of one; this seems to be a Costco-specific model. Mine broke at three years and three months, and the customer support rep said they could try to extend the warranty coverage to the repair. But I was heading out of town and still haven’t sent it in, so I’m not sure if that will still hold. Kind of thinking of getting another (better) for my bathroom, seeing what happens with the repair, and if it comes back repaired for a low cost putting it in the guest bathroom.
