There's also the subtle psychological aspect of American public toilet that is best summed up as "We're not paying you to poo poo on the clock, go poo poo in you own drat bathroom at home." Being oddly uncomfortable is a feature, not a bug.

I'm pretty sure the major design driver in any public toilet is 'how easily can we hose this out when someone inevitably smears poo poo everywhere'.

While I imagine that is no fun to use, what does that do to the plumbing?

My high school had hydrophic paper towels. When cleaning up a spill in the labs, the best you could do is really push the liquid into the floor.

My high school had the rolls of fabric in the loop that kids would wrap around their necks to see if they would pass out. It was a simpler time and those things probably produced a ton of goons.

I'll grab some pics next time I'm out there but my mom bought a house with a very obvious lean in the back end - went into the crawlspace and there are ZERO supports. just nothing under there. Hopes and dreams. I had to talk her out of putting furniture in there til that gets sorted out. :gonk:

I'm not used to houses having crawlspaces versus basements, and the ones that I do know tend to be cottages on cinder blocks. So, when you say no supports, I'm picturing a house entirely held in the air by the decorative lattice used to keep animals out from under the house.

There was a horrible tragedy on the San Mateo Bridge in Silicon Valley in 2013. Stretch limo caught fire, none of the passengers could get out because bad construction. It turned out that limo conversion was completely unregulated. They passed regulations in 2015. In much of the country it remains unregulated; there's no Federal law.

You're not entirely wrong but





About 3-4 full rooms on top of these with visible leaning, wouldn't even need to do a marble test!

I'm glad they found a use for the Baja parts, but that means there's one less out there, and they only made 33k of them. :(

Yeah I looked it up before I posted that, and I was surprised that it was only manufactured 2003–2006.

Someday I'll have another Baja. I've had two, both 2005, one sport, one turbo, both manual transmission, both gray over silver.

Unfortunately they largely sold in areas that salts their roads in the winter, so a lot of them are held together now by rust and wishes.

You could mount a block heater (from a car where it gets super cold in the winter) to the back of that toilet and use a smart plug to have it turn on 30 min before you take your morning poo poo. Heaven on earth.
