Only dual flush I've seen is on the tankless ones you see in public restrooms, never seen it on a home toilet.

I never saw a two flush toilet until later in life but I remember when I was about ten thinking it would save so much water for a small flush and a larger flush depending and telling my science teacher my idea and how great it would be and how much money I would make. More fool I. Anyway that teachers dead now.

Buried in a gold coffin coated with jewels, paid for with the money he made inventing the dual-flush toilet.

It's funny everyone started talking about toilets, I was about to post about a work toilet!

One of the stalls in the office bathroom is really spacious (most of them are not), but as a drawback, the wall sensor is really sensitive. I have to sit up almost perfectly straight and try not to move while I do my thing. Otherwise my rear end gets a spraydown.


Unrelated to toilets: I finally upgraded to a 2560x1600 monitor at home, but all my desktop wallpaper is 1920x1080. It's gonna stretch out and look all pixelated. :sigh:

Attempts to get ethernet cord to my computer: the spare bedroom has all the connections BUT the coax. My mom's bedroom has the coax but no phone jack, and she insists we keep the home phone line for....some reason.

Back to the drawing board.

Idea: my friend wants to simply throw hooks on the walls and have the cable trail all over the goddamn house to my room. I'm trying to think of a way to just move the computer to the main room where the router is. The downside is it's the main room in the house so I'd have no privacy and my mom's evenings are spent watching the Big Bang Theory in that room.

Other option: get a wifi extender and keep computer in my room and just hope the lag isn't that bad.

I have to wait a few days to see a specialist for free. After being treated at emergency which took 2 hours which was also free. I also got a free cab ride from my doctor to the hospital and a bunch of free dressings upon leaving.

Yes yes, I know it wasn't actually "free". I paid some dollars in taxes into the system that ensures everyone gets access to medical care, and they all did too. It's a tough life, not being billed thousands of dollars per visit.

Yes! I don't think it's the exact same model but that's definitely the same song. All Samsung home appliances sing incessantly, but for some reason the Ballad of Dry Clothing is three times as long as the Aria of the Preheated Oven or the Hymn of the Spin Cycle.

You know how I was complaining about heat/lack thereof in my apartment? Well now, after I complained, they’ve decided to put it on full blast at night so I’m sweating as if it’s summer. I guess the guy controlling it got in trouble for turning off the heat at night; but, being the sadistic motherfucker he is, has taken revenge by making it 95 degrees in here. My last post said it’s “warm.” It was good. Now I am saying it’s “heat from the burning pits of hell.”

A two-act play that whose previews have noted as being seeping in FWPism:

ACT ONE: poo poo, if I subscribe to one more podcast, I'll have to scroll an inch with my finger to access it! This is not OCD or base sperging, nay, this is an catastrophic terror.

ACT TWO: Oh, there's a setting to make the icon for each podcast about half the size. Now I can double the amount of podcasts on one screen! I can add a few more... that I don't have time to listen to.

I had to go back to dual 1920x1080 monitors because there's something wrong with the 2560x1600 monitor I picked up. It was only a couple days using it and it's already so hard to go back.

Now I either have to find a place that can run diagnostics on it, or I have to learn how to test and replace bad capacitors.

For the fish expo, I am in charge of all the printing. The expo is in March, and I do all the name badges, the programs, signs, etc. And in January I print out fliers and pass them out to others to deliver to pet stores and the like, because the stores range from 15 to 90 minutes from me. The fliers are basic black and white on colored paper with the date, time, and location, and what to expect at the event.

That wasn't enough, so the president of the fish club made his own flier, which has the club logo and about two paragraphs in size 7 font about the event.

And then some new member designed a double-sided full color trifold brochure to leave at certain stores, and got pissy with me when I told her no, she needs to run that by me and the president (and she did run it by him, and he didn't tell me) and we need the fliers to be short and sweet and cheap because most people will throw them away.

All I can think is she better not bring a loving bill for that printing. And we need all the fliers to be uniform because otherwise people will assume there are multiple events.

Best part is the dumb bitch said she saw the sign-up list for volunteers (which is nearly empty) and didn't see an opening so she decided to help with printing.

YOU ARE NOT HELPING. STOP loving HELPING.

There’s no option to put a tip manually on the potbelly’s app so I can’t put more than 25%. I got the app cause I thought it would be easier than calling for me / less annoying to them but I want to tip more cause it’s bikers, not cars, and I’m right at the edge of their delivery zone; hence, very far, so I ended up having to call them anyways. I don’t usually have cash lying around to give a cash tip either so I’ll have to call them all the time anyway. Blah :(

I’m closing the store tonight and I was hopping to get a lot of sleep but I couldn’t sleep well so I’m not happy about that, and I’d like to take a nap but I know I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. I feel like poo poo, why won’t you fall asleep, body?!

E: I forgot that if I laid in bed I and did magically fall asleep, I would miss my potbelly’s delivery. Triple sadness.

E2: update on the potbelly saga. The sandwich took too long to arrive but whatever, and also they also gave me free cookies. The front desk told me the food is coming up but before she said anything there was what I assume to be a cop (had that cop intonation and way of talking) saying “yes but your husband was threatening violence”. :ohdear:

Also I am not very hungry anymore :(

It may not be what is happening to you, but there are actual businesses you can give your instagram account info to, and they will comb through people with similar interests, liking their posts, leaving comments on your photos that are just a liiiittle too generic like "wow nice shot!" or "good clip!" when its a drawing and things like that. The idea is that you get some automaton person in a 3rd world country to go loving HAM on your instagram liking and following and there are a surprising amount of people that will just follow you if you follow them, or follow them because you made a single comment on one of their posts. there is usually an end goal like the promise of 1000+ followers added to your account or whatever the agreed number is. You can find photos online of insane 300+ smartphone arrays all logged in to different instragram/social media accounts with a single person tapping away at all the screens.



But at that point it's all fake and if you're just going to pay for 1000 followers to be added to your account so you can get 500+ likes every time you post a photo - how do you convince yourself that it's not all fakes and bots once you enter that process and know how it works? How does this fuel an ego if its all fake and bought? That's why I don't understand the buying followers economy but I know it exists.

Gramblr is another one, a piece of software that lets you upload video to instagram from PC. But theres a section on the app that says "earn coins" and if you click on it it'll create a slideshow of random people's instagram photos. Every time you click "like" the app adds a 10 coins to your account. Once you've accumulated 1000 coins or so you can spend the 1000 coins to buy 100 likes of your own stuff. So you basically bought a page in the slideshow and you'll just pop up on some other guy's machine when HE clicks "earn coins". You can also spend real world $$$ on coins but it's easy enough to earn them by spamming the "like" button

But once again, most people just click "earn coins" then smash like,like,like,like,like,like 10+ times without even looking at the content, because why would you if you're just trying to accumulate coins to turn around and spend that on more likes for your account:psyduck:
