It already had a new owner which is why I stopped using it years ago.

This is quite toxic attitude. You should focus on what’s good for you - not what’s bad for someone else.

I don’t pick the faucet models - my customers do. I just install them.

If they were unhappy with the previous one, they’d choose something different next time, but they don’t. To me, that says they see zero issue with it.

I can literally walk into any house around here, and the bathroom faucet will be nearly identical to this one. Kitchen faucets are bigger, and most places have a utility sink too, but this is the standard for bathrooms.

I have installed ones that I think were genuinely bad as well but again - the customer chose it, not me. I’m not going to start talking them out of it.

The brand I recommend them to use does have multiple different designs in their catalog but people rarely buy those but rather prefer the standard one like the one in the picture.

I genuinely don’t see the issue with that. I’ve installed probably around 500 faucets in my career, and not once has a customer ever pushed for a different model just because they don’t want to make physical contact with the sink.

I’d get it if it was so tight it actually got in the way of washing your hands, but that’s not the case here.

I have no trouble with it myself.

I said brand, not model.

My hands fit under it just fine though.

I meant the toilet itself.

And yes.

This came with installation hardware too, but a lot of new toilets don’t even have holes for bolts nowadays. The adhesive is more than sufficient to hold it down to the floor tiles. The silicone caulking I use to tidy it up afterwards just adds to that hold.

The main reason to not use bolts is to avoid drilling into the floor and puncturing the water proofing membrane or floor heat pipes/cables.

I try talking all my customers into this brand because of the quality and how serviceable they are. They ought to be paying me commission.

I just replaced one that was 38 years old.

I’ve never seen a toilet seat that wasn’t bolted to the toilet.

First time for everything. It’s a friction fit.

But yeah I mean the toilet. In my language toilet refers to the entire room and toilet seat is the thing you shit into.

Yeah, silicone-like adhesive. It sits on top of a cabinet, and that’s exactly how the manufacturer says to install it. Toilet seat got glued in as well.

I’m not for banning porn but it’s quite ignorant to pretend it doesn’t lead to problematic compulsive use for some people and negatively affect their life. I’m one of those people. Porn addiction is no joke.

The first article I saw about this mentioned that it was coming from St. Petersburg and that it was marked “suspicious” on a site tracking sanctions despite not being an official “shadow fleet” vessel.

Seems like Border Patrol pulled off another helicopter fast-rope onto a ship’s deck - almost exactly a year after the last one.

Almost definitely yes. The ship was coming from St. Petersburg.

Nobody makes billions per year - not even close.

2024 top earning CEO was Brad Jacobs from QXO and he made 189 million dollars. Christiano Ronaldo made 275 million dollars in 2025.

I consider myself immensely lucky. Sometimes it feels like my entire life has been nothing but a continuous streak of good luck - almost to the point of me foolishly counting on it happening again. I can’t explain it, but I’m thankful, and I’m under no illusion that any of it is my own making. Even the fact of having had a good childhood and parents who are still together at +65 years old is so valuable and increasingly rare nowadays.

None but they backed the loan.

I bought mine when I was 27. Not a big house but house nevertheless. Didn’t want to live in an apartment anymore. Anything is better than that.
