  1. The toilet seat is also a seat seat in the cabin for 1 on the VIA Rail Canadian train across Canada. Some people have reservations about having a toilet in your room, a cabin for 2 places it in a different room.

    When the bed comes down, you can't use this seat or toilet.

  2. CLIMBING DOWN

    #Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.

    He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.

    That is a very different thing.

    The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.

    No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.

    Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.

    His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.

    Water does not need to win.

    The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.

    And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.

    The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.

    But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy

    Simple living is not automatically #holy.

    Low status is not #awakening.

    A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.

    But a life without #comparison ?

    That is #freedom.

    Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.

    Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.

  4. Toilets in the Southern Hemisphere flush unexpectedly

    Everybody knows that toilets in the Northern Hemisphere flush normally. This is due to the Don Corleone effect, which pushes the water the normal way. Now, in the Southern Hemisphere, the Don Corleone effect also exists but works in reverse. This fact makes the toilets there work in an unexpected fashion.

    We asked Carlos Morales for a demonstration of the effect. He asked us to stand back, for safety. Then, he pulled the toilet’s handle down, sending a stream of water to the ceiling. We had witnessed, with our very own eyes, the Don Corleone effect in action.

    Morales told us, “As you can imagine, this effect creates a steady stream (pun intended) of work for us janitors. Nobody likes to go into a bathroom whose ceiling is covered with a jet of feces, or just piss.”

    We flew to the equator with Morales to hold another demonstration there. When he pulled the handle at the equator, nothing whatsoever happened. He explained, “That’s because, here, the Don Corleone effect cannot act. Consequently, all the toilets have to be manually emptied.”

    Next time you flush your toilet, and it works normally, thank the Don Corleone effect for this, and thank us for having educated you.

  5. Are Australia's 4WD enthusiasts wrecking the bush?
    From bushwalking to ALL TERRAIN driving in the bush

    "4WD touring is booming and it's putting unprecedented pressure on the bush. The increased traffic is also degrading many of the tracks...Many of the tracks are historical — initially built for logging, gold mining or firebreaks — and are not designed for four-wheel driving. These tracks proliferate, they very rarely disappear."

    "Something bogs up, drivers go round it, and it gets bigger, damages vegetation and spreads weeds and pests...The rules for four-wheel drives are the same whether you're in a national park or in a state forest, you're supposed to drive them on a road. You're not supposed to drive them around in the bush, willy nilly."

    "Seasonal closures can also protect areas at risk of degradation.The spokesperson says 181 infringements totalling more than $60,000 were given to people caught driving cars or riding trail bikes illegally off-road or in restricted areas last year."

    Déjà vu of SUVs being washed in a perennial stream (Orara River) on the eastern slopes of the Dorrigo Plateau and nappies deposited on river rocks.
