The only plastic you need in a bathroom is the hoses. I guess many gaskets might also be petroleum-based.

there's a reason why "nice" bathrooms use all porcelain and tile and granite and marble - plastic is for poors, it's a status signifier

the shortage is always the nurses who are doing the actual poking. this was a drive thru with 6-10 lanes depending on traffic volume, so enough nurses to staff that from 8 am to 8 pm, and a doctor on site too. then you need people to handle everything else so that the nurses can keep doing an injection every 2-3 minutes.

non medical volunteer spots for each day usually fill up within 2 minutes of a shift getting announced. but there is a lot to do, directing traffic, making sure people queue and wait the required 15 min observation time after the jab before getting their vaccine card, tons of data entry, and carting around medical supplies to keep the vaccine stations stocked. it’s also just nice that everyone who shows up is happy to get vaccinated.

has anyone built a bot for CA to find volunteer slots yet?

I have never lived anywhere with more than one toilet and having multiple bathrooms really only started being a thing for normal people in post-1980 construction.

I was reading Peter Hook's book about Joy Division and he said that they constantly poked fun at Steve Morris and called him posh because his dad's house had two toilets.

I think this might be true further east, but honestly I never lived anywhere from Ohio and westward that didn't have two bathrooms. But yeah, since moving to PA and then NY, everywhere has only had one, usually lovely retrofits.

When we bought our house in PA there was a toilet in the basement, and apparently it was pretty common for people to just drop toilets on top of open floor drains without like... connecting it really, or making sure there was appropriate ventilation so that flushing would work. I never used it until flushing it to rip it out, at which point water just leaked out everywhere on my basement floor, because there was no wax ring.

iirc california banned PEX because there's a 0.0000001% chance it could leak carcinogens (california is the weirdest loving place) and now everything new being built is back to 1 bath per unit. absolutely bonkers.

grats. our timeline in BC is all a gently caress now, originally it was going to be everyone done by september, then everyone gets at least one dose by july, then they discovered that there are some communities where more than one percent of the population is actively infected and now the goal is to fully vaccinate everyone up in those places by april so we don't get to summer and three quarters of the people living up there are too dead to vaccinate

as I understand it, they can give all of prince rupert a jab with less than a single shipment of whatever the newest vaccine they approved was, so it shouldn't affect the one-dose-by-july thing

The standard Finnish word for condom is "kondomi", but the colloquial term is "kortsu", which is short for "kortonki", probably a play on "kartonki" i.e. paperboard, much like concrete is "betoni" but sometimes referred to as "petonki" a play on "patonki", i.e. french bread (which is technically a bread baton).

Oh uhh anyway, the guy who played Matlock played a racist grandfather in some movie and called them condrums and I wish I had a clip of that.

e: My dad used to say "orankitunki" instead of the standard "oranki" for an orangutan. Thanks for reading.

Coronavirus chat: a customer has two plants in different towns (well, more, but I'm just talking about these two). One has mandated the normal surgical-type paper masks for everyone, and banned the ones with vents that are normally used in dusty or whatever environments, not a medical mask at all. The other has mandated masks but allows the ones with vents. Guess which one closed down? The excuse was "our glasses keep fogging up with a ventless mask!"

(As I understand it, the ventless masks protect everyone else and the vented ones only the wearer.)

the vented ones are still better than nothing because they direct your exhalation downwards instead of directly at whomever you’re speaking to, but the unvented ones are much better yeah
