My wife followed me into the men’s room last night in Vegas cause the ladies room was closed for cleaning. Didn’t realize anyone was in there, but a dude that happened to be going number 2 bolted outta there like the flash, it was kinda funny.

Eh more like he needs to be taken out to pasture.

Again, that was the style and not the exact ones we had, but yeah they were all fixed position, however ours weren’t too bad. I dunno, I don’t remember anyone complaining much, I was on the taller side of my peers and fit fine while I recall even the smaller kids were alright too. Id wager a big reason they were chosen was so kids couldn’t balance on the back legs, fall back and crack dome. They were great for cracking your back!

Not even that, but they are simple and repairable. I remember we had these sleigh-style desks (same idea except the seat was one-piece molded plastic) that were a total of four parts (two rails, the seat and the desk top) aside from bolts/hardware, and they had a graveyard of parts to replace pieces as needed. And those desk were tough as all hell.

Eh it always turns into a touchy subject. Like yeah we needed to transition away from burning fuel yesterday, but at the same time we still need a viable path forward for people to move themselves and good around, which hasn’t really gone far. Yes EVs are a good solution and they’re improving at a good pace, but they don’t cover every use case yet, which is where we need to focus. At the same time, we also need to be leaning into building out public transit networks that render most personal transport needs unnecessary.

For instance, we need a viable EV for OTR transport, as well solutions for trains and ocean/air shipping. We also need better solutions for contractors and the like, as well as vehicles that can achieve longer range.

And when are those rail projects getting built? Oh yeah, they keep stalling out.

I’m all for reducing car dependency, but we need viable alternatives before, not as an afterthought.

I’ve thought it’d be pretty nifty to replace the carpool lanes with rail transit, but then Fast track/The Toll Roads wouldn’t be able to keep up their Lexus lanes.

The idea was to transition everyone to EVs. The problem is that not everyone can afford to just up and buy a new vehicle, and it’s naive to think people can get by without one, especially in much of CA and the rest of the US where public transit absolutely blows. They’re putting the cart before the horse and not giving a shit about people who aren’t the monopoly man, as is tradition.

My town has had the price pegged at about $5.50/gal (diesel) for the last couple years, despite fuel trending closer to $4.25/gal lately elsewhere.

So that’s why him, Zuck, and their ilk are the way they are.

OO is fantastic.

I’ll be honest, it never really crossed my mind that the ladies room attendant was a chick, I never really put much thought into that one.

Also too, BECAUSE IT’S JUST A DESIGNATED PLUMBED ROOM TO TAKE A SHIT, NOT A FUCKING THING TO BE POLITICIZED.
