American toilets work differently to European or Australian toilets and are much more likely to clog, it’s not just that either Americans are weirdly obsessed with the idea that everyone should own a plunger or I am absurdly lucky to have never encountered a clogged toilet in my life.

I think Americans just eat really lovely food that turns their poop into literal logs.

Hmm which would a normal adult human being prefer, brushing your toilet on occasion or having to unclog a literal mass of poo poo even once in their lives  Personally I choose the brush over the plunger  (Also if you eat unamericanly, your poo poo doesn't spray everywhere and stick to the walls so you don't need to use the brush very often.)

Add me to the list of people who thought that a "seeg" was different from a "segway" and did not realize that the Segway was not the real word's spelling. Also thought that "fiery" in books was pronounced "feary" and that "fiery" said out loud was firey.

The most common cause of all toilet and plumbing issues, in every country, is paper products and not waste. "Flushable" wipes, facial tissues, hair combings, etc. American toilets are fine and that snake you're all amazed by serves a multitude of purposes for both safety and efficiency and is rarely ever a cause for clogs (which usually occur in the waste pipe, which are older, straighter, made of cast iron or PVC, and contain more years' of build-up).

For the last couple of months Ive been dating this girl with tattoo'd eyebrows. Im really not a fan of it but she is cool and getting them lasered off so its not a dealbreaker for me. I assumed that she got them tattoo'd when she had her 'goth phase' and lets face it, we've all done dumb poo poo as teenagers. Yesterday I found out that she actually lost her eyebrows because she was hit in the head by a pigs head that was on fire at a metal concert years ago.  as gently caress!

It's a Christmas Miracle!

Didn't just happen, but I've recently learned that the game/brand Puyo Puyo is still an exant thing, or something actually marketed in the US. I only know about it because one of their older games became Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

For some reason I was reading about old mainframe computers on Wikipedia, turns out IBM is still making modern big iron. Wait, what? Who, in TYOOL 2017, needs a central computer that is shared between multiple terminals? Use a fuckin' LAN, you dinosaurs! Oh. Oooohhhhhh. Internet servers are basically the same thing as the old big iron, aren't they?

Delivery McGee posted:For some reason I was reading about old mainframe computers on Wikipedia, turns out IBM is still making modern big iron. No, they are not. I mean, you *can* run web servers off a mainframe LPAR, but that's like driving a Bugatti around the block to pick up some chips. Mainframes are completely different kind of beast. They may be dinosaurs, but they're dinosaurs that are far from extinct and keep evolving. They are still at the top of the food chain for financial transactions and real-time numerical analysis. Mainframes are really, really good at crunching numbers and they are mind-numbingly fast. IBM's z13 can process 2.5 billion transactions a day. It can also provide real-time analysis of the transactions flying through it, which are good at catching fraud. You know how sometimes you get a call from Chase or Citibank asking if a purchase you just made minutes ago was valid? That was a mainframe that saw the transaction didn't match the usual spending patterns, put a temporary hold on the transaction, and then fired off a message with the details to another one that queued the information up to auto-call your primary contact number.

Anyone who actually needs to get things done without fail uses big iron. e: Emphasis on the "without fail" actually because they are hell of reliable. I don't have actual numbers but if you imagine having a system with 99,9% uptime and then you have something with 99,92% uptime, the difference in practice is huge if you have a million transactions going through it every minute.
