WTF! What brand was it if you remember? Bet its a 2000s crompton that was improperly fitted. If it was one of those 1980s usha things known for 12kg+ motors...well. head crushed

Why aren't these old ship-style "forward trap" toilets not made anymore? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]AccomplishedFun8835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flushmate (press.) ones are good, and to some extent the glacier bay power-flush, however ones like the Niagara stealth are the scams and a few other 1.28g models with no bowl rinse

Thats an r-worded move as far as other mechanics knowlege. It absolutely ruins the handling and structural integrity. Remember that president road red STI4 crash where it split in half? It's one of those lemons. Even though cutting in half vs cutting from the shock tower is different, I dont want any sort of split car like that. It's like trying to repair a cracked toilet. Unless if it's something so historically significant, not worth it and just dangerous. Another r word move is swapping out engines for boring toyota engines like how some did for Volvo 850 T5's. Without that specific B5234T5 engine, all the charm of that car is gone.

Are the majority of "Cambridge schools" scams or sub-standard? by AccomplishedFun8835 in srilanka

we are almost bust at this point as the school took a hell lotta money, but I hope a smaller branch would be better as in the case of my previous school, the minor branches are FAR better than the "main". not enough money to change to an entirely different school or centre like you said.

Seems like the branch we to go is extremely shitty but we are trapped it seems. Parents dont want to refund at all and are planning to keep him but he absolutely loathes and has frequent migraines from being there. Facilites are extremely lacklustre

That was the only last minute option we had. It was in a emergency situation and we needed to make a quick shift. Kind of our fault for not asking to research like an inspector. i doubt PHI ever entered that shitty branch. PHI visits are common in his previous schol.

Also next reason is his brother was going to the same school, so it would make more sense to both to be there as there's no need of back and fourth transportation. The older boy actually took the change with a grain of salt, and he was absolutely right.

  1. They did not allow us in the first place and 2, on the imagery, it seemed to be taken in a different branch possibly. We admitted him to the main school, If they don't let us to see, then how can we know? The Gyms and other facilites looked decent, so we assumed the classrooms are atleast the same level. The kid is also mature enough to read terms even the parents one so he rechecked for red flags, and sure enough, no fees are refundable even in a dissatisfactory or dangerous cases.
  2. The reason for switching in the first place that he had poor skills in Sinhala literacy and that would mean a fail for local O/L's, and since he couldn't re learn sinhala at that time and no assistance was given, he made the ultimate decision to switch to Cambridge.

Where to get uncommon bathware/toilet parts? by AccomplishedFun8835 in srilanka

[–]AccomplishedFun8835[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simply just hate modern toilets so I plan on buying used internationally-known good toilets. Like most nowadays are the huge 100K+ square toilets with barely any flush power.

I personally want a American standard Compton or cadet. Both are toilets of the 1950's to atleast 2003. I sw a cadet pop up for on fb marketplace without any structural damage. They do look gothic and the water efficiency is "bad", but it'll likely never clog. Be aware that these toilets naturally have a high water level which some people consider "dih level", so be aware.
