I hated Georgia toilets

Older houses there are still using 3.5g per flush toilets

Otherwise, there's nothing special about Georgia

sounds like you have concerns about a specific place. It's a big state

#

That one public restroom sucked... perhaps

#

Well, it was like that in all restaurants, offices and malls i visited

And my hotel

#

So I assumed it was a southern state thing

As I've never seen it up north

I will say some of the public long oblong shaped toilets do suck. Not even sure how they even came up with a 5ft long toilet to begin with

I suggest avoiding public restroom stalls as a general rule

I haven't seen those tall urinals in any new construction anywhere

The building was from the 90s probably

What you're describing just isn't pervasive

The water level and the stall cracks was the most worrying though

I lived in Atlanta for for 17 years

According to Google I'm not the only one who is concerned about it though yuckdoge

This is the largest cracks I've seen anywhere in northern Europe

You may have identified a US vs Europe thing (of which there are many), but I don't think it says anything about US regions

No idea, I never saw that water level or stall cracks in new Jersey, new York, or Washington though

we have established that a) Taller toilets are better b) German toilets are weird c) Toilets in Atlanta may or may not have too much water for atx's parts to remain dry d) the Coriolis effect does not, indeed, make toilets swirl in the opposite direction in teh southern hemisphere

I had the opportunity to use a separate, old-fashioned bidet many years ago and found it to be incredibly awkward and seemingly prone to water going where it should go

#

the washlets, etc. make a ton more sense

I have a couple of bidets. They're great. Got the liking for them while travelling on a Japanese ship.

#

I would think they'd be even more awkward when the water is pushing the boat around

the standalone ones

# clear ferry

Europeans are infamous for being peeping toms (not a joke) so I would understand the tight tolerances for the stalls there. Here it's not really an issue. If you saw someone peeking through that gap trying to size up your member they wouldn't make it very far before getting caught

#

that's not to say we don't have our fair share of sicko's, it's just they are smart enough to not spend all day in pubic bathrooms trying to peek through that gap

Populations of these frightening insects have grown steadily around Southern California in the past several years, even explosively in some areas.

# forest edge i shit on toilets, toilets can have many names

A good, and quantitively elderly, friend of mine told me tonight that his wife, Pat, was good at saving money. And that they spent some of Pat's savings on the septic system that they have.

I immediately replied "I'll have to remember to say 'Thanks!' to Pat the next time I visit and take a shit all over her savings."

#

@clear ferry how did you stray into working on what we now call "big iron"?

#

(which is separate from "mainframes," i think: PA-RISC is usually running Unix, like anything else, right? I mention this because I know one old dude who still programs mainframes, with mainframe methods, and what I learn from talking to him is that those methods are simply robust)

clear ferry
#

Perchance

#

I work with any Unix system from dec/Compaq/hp

#

Any most flavours of Linux

#

I don't touch mainframes thankfully

#

I'm not insane

pearl gust
#

Mainframe mentality takes Unix "everything is a file" mentality down the tiniest degree: We don't write a record to RAM, because RAM can't be trusted. So we write it out to storage (with replication), and we require confirmation that the write is done properly.

For every fucking write.

#

It's good, I think, for some things. I want my money in my bank to be held to these standards, but I cannot afford that for my own bank.

clear ferry
#

Only reason mainframe still exists is because someone doesn't bother rewriting code from 1973

#

And IBM loves it

pearl gust
#

IBM is a tiny shrivel of what they once were.

clear ferry

Yes, but mainframes are 80+% of their revenue

Eh? Well, then: Some things never change.

Well, wherever the systems break the have to call a guy in his 80s who has been retired for 20 years

Curious how long that can last

i mean if it's been chugging along just fine for several decades already..

pearl gust
#

But it must break.

#

Everything fails. Entropy is a thing.

forest edge
#

why bomb shelters stock spares

pearl gust
#

It may fail due to a programming error in 1943, or it may fail due to a migration error, or it may fail due to a hardware disruption.

clear ferry
#

It breaks every few years

#

As most things do

forest edge
#

the more simplified something is the longer it lasts

#

now finding replacement parts for older stuff is yea hard, more so because companies don't want things to last and they want replacement

pearl gust
#

The oldest system I take care of is a radio dispatch system that also deals with a fuckton of jail doors and intercoms. It was designed in the 70s, sold in the 80s, and updated in the 90s and 2000s. We have the latest rev, which is circa 2008.

I'm trained on it, I installed it back in 2008, and I know it as well as I can.

When it fails, I don't have anyone to fall back on. If I, myself, can't figure it out then: It's all fucked.

forest edge
#

a lot of that stuff is just simply yanking out burned pieces and replacing

some of of it still gets parts made. like the old ham radio parts

I wish we were back to $0.001 per kWh

pearl gust
forest edge

why?

clear ferry
#

100a12v is pretty substantial

pearl gust

Because it fit into a particular rack-mount PSU subchassis in that particular system (custom chassis are expensive), and allowed it to integrate with the existing system (with roots in the 1970s).

But I agree: Proprietary is expensive. COTS can be cheap. The particular system I've referred to is being slowly dismantled and replaced with a different proprietary system, though.

And at least with this replacement, unlike the original, they have not yet flown anyone in from Canada to tell us that they're ending support before we even finish installing and troubleshooting it.

Anyhoo, I've kept it alive for 14 years with no support. I'll keep it kickin' even if there are absurd invoices for power supplies.

@shy notch i know we usually don't see eye to eye but today i have to say thank you homeassistant saved one of our stores kitchens

#

heat sensors in the building fired up the venting system which kept the fire contained within its steel enclosure

#

fire reached over 1200C and melted the steel

Want to see what issues are open (or were open and are now closed)?

Don't forget to check for any alerts

If you think an upgrade broke something then:

  1. Downgrade to the previous version to check if it works correctly there
  2. If it does then change the logger settings for that integration to debug
  3. Upgrade to the new version again
  4. Look in the logs for errors
  5. Open an issue, following the template provided and including the log information

I am planning to make my HA flash lights red or orange if the fire alarm goes

#

Blue for water alarm

#

And detonate the tnt on the 30m3 water tank above the house to put the fire out

@umbral cliff the fire suppression system failed

#

the whole smoke stack is destroyed but it kept the place from burning down

#

you walked into the building and you couldn t even smell it was on fire

Your commercial fire suppression system failed and HA saved the day? That's pretty awesome

Zombu, glad your store survived. Sorry to hear that it happened, but happy to hear it was minimal due to HA.

#

how are ya man

#

yeah i was surprised the sensors fired up the vents

peak cloud
#

I am doing well. Had a crazy party last night…feeling the after effects right now lol.

dry cairn
#

as soon as the fire exploded all sensors kicked on and turned on the venting system

#

it wasnt designed for that but it worked

peak cloud
#

That’s crazy. What was the automation that saved it?

dry cairn
#

it was designed to turn the vent and hood system to full blast when temp goes over 100f to prevent employees from keeling over from heat

peak cloud
#

If it were in Texas it would have triggered 49 out of the last 50 days

dry cairn
#

oh its been going on and off here

#

its a kitchen its always hot as hell

#

but the venting system sucked the flames in and out the stack

#

which kept the flames from coming out of the steel enclosure

#

it completely demolished and melted the stainless steel hood and the steel lining in the chimney

#

so over 1200C

#

so that saved the building

#

oh shit there is tinkler

#

everyone is still here huh

Mostly...

Here, there, everywhere...
