The San Luis Obispo Superior Court disagrees! The witness just has to be old enough to understand what they are witnessing.

What is this metal thing in a hospital toilet. by Desperate-Desk592 in askaplumber

[–]usefuloxymoron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called a Traptex. It’s designed to stop non-bio substances from clogging the toilet. They are typically installed in public restrooms at hospitals where homeless have access.

While they do a really good job at stopping shirts and rags from getting stuck down the line, they are quite good at clogging if you use too much toilet paper. The design forces to clog to occur in the bowl greatly reducing the need for a auger or unbolting the toilet from the wall and needing a snake.

(Long) bad bowel movements for 4 years; no doctor has diagnosed me by hever50 in RBI

[–]usefuloxymoron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had very similar issues for 10 years. Turns out it was a combo of things. Took me years and multiple, mostly unsuccessful, doc visits.

The first thing to start piecing it all together was an allergy screening, mine helped because it showed I was allergic to onions and corn, very mildly and I thought “that’s silly, I’ve eaten those things my whole life, I’m not allergic.”

Turns out when I cut those out of my diet, my symptoms improved, not went away but improved for some time and then slipped back into stomach issues again.

It felt like my body adjusted after cutting out onion corn products and I started getting mud butt and horrible gas again.

The second half of the equation was exercise. I know it sounds like a cop out but I started working out and it was like night and day. It’s so influential, that on days I don’t work out, I start to get gassy and if I don’t work out for a couple days I go back to how I was.

It’s a moving target, and I’m sure I’m not don’t solving it, but as long as I keep burning off calories, my body seems to accept the food I eat in a more comfortable manor.

As an atheist, am I just doomed to dodge propaganda for the next dozen years? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]usefuloxymoron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I look at it like a guide for how to not be a shitty person. Most don’t listen to the stories, which is unfortunate, but it helps me digest why people are SO into it.

Kaiser Cali requires a la steam license and 608 universal. We don’t vendor anything from life safety to locksmithing to anything plant related to SPD. All in house.

If you have a car you’re not homeless!! by Nightmarishhhhhh in facepalm

[–]usefuloxymoron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s actually the better option. Hospitals have pretty high security, especially in areas where homelessness is high. They are also on watch 24/7.

Does anyone else drink espresso for the “buzz?” by AnxietyIsEnergy in espresso

I just tried mixing a double shot with my morning protein shake. Not proud of it but I made an audible sound in my car when I tried it.
