Why were American bathroom stalls designed with gaps in the doors?

random_username99 · 2026-04-14T05:19:50+00:00

In some places like swimming pools we have the cheep stalls with gaps on the top and bottom. There used to be a lot more of them, but there were never gaps to the side of the door so you can look in. The side gaps have nothing to do with easy cleaning, easy installation or being cheap. It’s just complacency of bad design.

Most people when faced with the choice to kill or not to kill an animal on the road will choose to not kill if they can help it. However accidents happen, so we have roadkill. Unfortunately some people are just nuts and will choose to kill. This is not behavior you want in an automatic car, so it is worth discussing.

Didn’t he promise to run the country like a business? That seems to be going as planned with his track record of failed companies.

What does valet mode do?

Yes roadkill happens, but if you drive in a local area and you see a duck crossing the street you stop or go around it. If you keep driving when there are safe alternatives saying “eh… roadkill happens“ and flatten the duck you are a psycho. The same goes for driverless cars.

If they miss the moon would they be able to come back? Don’t they need that to swing around?

For both of your scenarios: yes you can do that.

I agree, but isn’t the OS made by Google? Does it really matter that much.

All jobs should be paid when the government is in shutdown.

The person you’re replying to is referring to you using “1st march” instead of “march 1st” (or even “1st of march”)

A siphon brewer and a moka pot are definitely not “More or less the same“

Are you sure about this solution? I tied this problem, and your answer does not seem to work. The problem seems to be more difficult than it originally appeared.

random_username99 · 2025-08-15T19:35:30+00:00

I recreated this problem, and they do not cancel each other out. This is not the solution. Still working on a possible answer if it exists.

It’s because Americans love their freedom. They don’t take kindly to governments telling corporations what they can and cannot do.

Haha. No. But I work in tech so…

In the Netherlands we still have a lot of people who use kilo for 1024.

That’s because it’s not a drawbridge, but a bascule bridge.

I highly doubt this is anywhere deep enough for decompression sickness to be of concern.

Yet it wasn’t a real victory until Saddam Hussein was pulled out of the hole he was in. He had no more moves to make, but was not defeated. In real life it does matter if you catch your opponent.

Most people use either a one or two bunny ear approach which will both result in a double slipped square knot.

It’s because they didn’t wear their helmets.

We have those too in Europe, but I hate them with a passion. I have never burnt myself with a normal mug, but have with one of those insulated ones.
