we agree about cars (except they are too tinny), the Japanese ones especially can be very reliable..

the new light bulbs are fine for many applications but can hurt eyes if read screens or books or newspapers too much with them, imho

glad you like your toilet.

re: “Trump may be exaggerating by saying 10 - 15 times”

Every used a bucket to increase the “flow” volume and flow rate?

Well?

There are a wide variety of colors and shades that should satisfy any taste. Consider that TVs use the same light source unless you have sprung for an OLED.

I agree on the Tinny cars but the days of Cadillac cars are over unless you want to fork over the price of a Maybach or Rolls Royce. A drove a new Toyota van for nine years and never so much as added water, no freon, no hoses or belts, nothing by Tires and couple batteries. I miss the old big cars too.

Yeah, never a good idea, if there is more than one stall.
You never know when that over-sized coworker is going to come in and let play the tuba in the middle of your conversation.

Yes, those washing machines are horrible!

And those ridiculous water-saver shower heads that trickle water! No way to rinse soap and shampoo. I have a REAL shower head that I bought in Raleigh over 30 years ago and it came with me when I moved back to TN. I have water pressure with that and am clean when I step out of the shower.

Our old dishwasher did a great job cleaning dishes and ran for a little over a half hour. The one we have now does a good job cleaning but runs for two and a half hours!
Energy-efficient????

Well, we have been using that amount for several years now and clothes get clean. The savings on detergent are phenomenal.
Hope it works for you.
