An Australian rear end washing company called bidet mate

I’ve been using a bidet for years, even before the pandemic happened I got one because Japanese newlyweds were coming to my home because they wanted to know what an Oscars party in the US was like and I didn’t want to force them to use a primitive caveman toilet

My rear end fell in love, whenever I use the toilet it feels like I just went to a spa.

I have two toilets, and only one of them has a bidet and I never used the other toilet for an entire year until one day my roommate was in the bidet-equipped bathroom and I had to use the toilet without a bidet. I’ve never felt more betrayed by my own rear end

What I’m saying is get a bidet it’s great

Another apartment we had came with bidet spray nozzles that rested on the toilet tank and could be detached. I tried that thing once and it only had one setting, "destroy the nearest wall and flood the entire room". I think I shot it into the bowl once and observed the magnitude of overspray before I realized I am definitely not trying to clean anything with that.

I'd love to have these things as an option but I just don't understand it yet, none of their various designs.

You know you can just get a splitter for the toilet connection and connect a regular shower hose to it, right?

Yeah this was basically like that. Picture a handheld kitchen sink sprayer, where you press the lever. But mounted on the toilet tank, on a hanger, instead.

A splitter was getting the water from the pipe. The main difference was total lack of pressure limit. Scary. I picked it up and aimed it at the bowl and not a drop of water stayed in. Just one quick press and you're open Biden

It was explained to me that "medical grade" mostly has to do with how splash proof they are. If those get something splattered on them they won't protect you very well.

I was in China with severe diarrhea from the local food and my friend's house only had a bidet. I had never used one but it seemed easy enough. But it was evidently not designed for the extremely common edge case of liquid poo poo. I looked down at it after using, and the whole thing had coated itself in poo poo colored water. A dark layer all over every curve besides the very top surface. Had to clean the gently caress out of the whole machine to make it not obvious to the next bathroom user.

I think this would happen to me far too often. This is what I currently use: Pristine Sprays. I find their unscented version does still have a smell to it that I don't like, but I'm still working my way through my initial purchase so I haven't tried any of their other stuff. 1-2 sprays dampens the tp enough without making it fragile enough to rip.

truthfully, I thought we would be at ~50% teachers and staff, as that's what general polling is telling us who actually wants a jab, and they've been prioritized* since January

lol they haven't been too priority for three months. most states weren't allowing them to get it because making GBS threads on public school teachers and trying to break the union is a national pass time for state and local officials.

It took the current admin coming in and bypassing states by saying that all teachers would be eligible to get vaccines at federally selected/run sites as part of Plan OpenerUP to change that. that only happened three weeks ago but as soon as that announcement came state officials suddenly changed eligibility to include feathers in 1a or 1b depending on what they were currently on so they could take credit for vaccinating teachers.

fun side happening from the federal sites: conservative states have used the federal distribution plans as an excuse to divert vaccines away from urban areas. here in Texas Austin had its vaccine allotment dropped by the amount that the feds were sending in.

An interesting article here, not so much for the conclusions as such, but their speculation in the article about the (highlighted) implication:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01296-8 posted:

SARS-CoV-2 infection of the oral cavity and saliva

Abstract
Despite signs of infection—including taste loss, dry mouth and mucosal lesions such as ulcerations, enanthema and macules—the involvement of the oral cavity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is poorly understood. To address this, we generated and analyzed two single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of the human minor salivary glands and gingiva (9 samples, 13,824 cells), identifying 50 cell clusters. Using integrated cell normalization and annotation, we classified 34 unique cell subpopulations between glands and gingiva. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral entry factors such as ACE2 and TMPRSS members were broadly enriched in epithelial cells of the glands and oral mucosae. Using orthogonal RNA and protein expression assessments, we confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the glands and mucosae. Saliva from SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals harbored epithelial cells exhibiting ACE2 and TMPRSS expression and sustained SARS-CoV-2 infection. Acellular and cellular salivary fractions from asymptomatic individuals were found to transmit SARS-CoV-2 ex vivo. Matched nasopharyngeal and saliva samples displayed distinct viral shedding dynamics, and salivary viral burden correlated with COVID-19 symptoms, including taste loss. Upon recovery, this asymptomatic cohort exhibited sustained salivary IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Collectively, these data show that the oral cavity is an important site for SARS-CoV-2 infection and implicate saliva as a potential route of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
(..)
Discussion
(..)
Our findings highlight how simultaneous testing of oral and NP sites might be required to fully understand SARS-CoV-2 spread. Moreover, our findings might partially explain some false-negative tests using only NP or saliva testing. However, these results raise new questions about COVID-19 pathogenesis, including 1) whether this is primarily a ‘nasal-first’ infection that spreads to the oral cavity, 2) the possibility of an ‘oral-first’ infection via droplet/aerosol inoculation or fomite ingestion, and/or 3) whether the pattern of infection affects disease severity and host immunological responses. To test whether oral transmission can precede nasal infection and/or occur in the absence of nasal infection, it will be necessary to design studies that include daily surveillance using NP and salivary tests in an at-risk cohort.
