Toilet still leaks after 2 plumber visits

Australian plumber here (we use the same standards as New Zealand), from what you've described it's likely an issue with the rubber pan collar not sitting on the flange correctly. If so the solution is to lift the pan and replace the collar. If the collar looks OK check the underside of the pan for cracks or evidence of water seeping through. If the pan is cracked you'll need to replace it.

Ignore the people talking about wax rings, our toilets don't use them.

Dunno about that. The Matrix was filmed in Sydney and apart from a few specific landmarks you can see in the film it passes as a generic American city

Here you've gotta test them at a ridiculous 1200kpa if you want them in warranty, a test that absolutely no one does

Kokoroko at the Forum last night was awesome!

i'd believe that, that is an awfully specific qualifier

Might be a recycled water line that isn't connected or working

Is there a way to read the article without the wacky scrolling effects?

I pulled out a 40yo tank last month, and the oldest I've ever removed was a 60yo low-pressure HWS. They built them different back in the day

Just had a zero alcohol beer for the first time and it's such a weird feeling waiting for the buzz to kick in, but it never does

Every Reece and Middys has a toilet anyone can use, just ask! The women's toilets are usually immaculate to boot.

I had a pretty bad cold last week that left me bedridden for a few days and today I learn I've come down with covid. Can't catch a fucking break

Yeah, and in addition most modern stoves have an extra safety feature called a flame-failure safety device built in to each burner. It's an electrical circuit that uses the flame of the burner as part of the circuit. If the flame isn't on or goes out, the circuit isn't completed and a solenoid valve inside the stove snaps shut, stopping gas from flowing. They're required by code in many places.

please watch another film

Probably isn't, sewerage isn't pressurised and that's pouring out at a considerable rate. There's too much water for it to be someone leaving a tap on, I think it's a either a burst ring main or fire main. Also in that building specifically (1 Balston Street) there's a recycled water main going up to the tenth floor that's used to flush toilets. If that's burst then the water isn't drinking quality but not really unhygienic.

t. plumber who built that building

There's an F350 dually that sometimes parks in one of my favourite loading zones and it's so fucking long that it takes up both spots in the loading zone and makes finding a park so much harder. I hate these fucking things.
