I’m good with the new toilets.


They finally started to get the new ones right several years ago. Before that, for a decade they were awful.

“The shortest cycle on the new one that we have is 183 minutes and the dishes are not completely dry.”

We had our 13-year-old LG clothes dryer repaired last week. (A thermal fuse was replaced, a common part failure on old LG dryers.) When I expressed some reservation about repairing rather than replacing the dryer, the repairman said that the old dryer was much better than the new dryers, even the top-rated LGs, and should be trouble-free for another ten years.

To each his own.

I’ve found them to be the best fuel can for my purposes. The venting is back through the spout once they start pouring. No glug or spilling.

Sounds like you are looking for an automotive Gerry can. The “V” jugs are what you want.

I am glad that you have found a solution that works for you.
I am perfectly happy with the vented plastic cans that I already have that are no longer available because of ridiculous regulations. I have a couple of the “Jerry can” style containers but prefer the shapes that are more stable in your trunk. I used to keep our airplane at an airport without fuel pumps and used a 38 gallon plastic tank out of an old van with a hand pump to fill it up. It is interesting to me that the new cans are so difficult to use for filling up a car or truck that has run out of gas when that used to be one of their primary reasons for existing.
