actually I'm not sure what you mean by a shower valve, do you mean the fact that there is a single control for both pressure and temp?

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 12 February 2018 07:24 (six years ago) link

shower valves

is this a home-owner thing or a UI thing?

that reminds me though,

104. toilets that are so full of water and also weirdly short that you have to lower yourself carefully, tensing your quads as you pause several times a second, calculating whether it's going to be safe to sit down or you'll have to fish your dong out of the way and hold it someway out of the drink for the duration

especially bad if the loo is so small that [deleted for propriety]

shower valves: in bathtub showers

you have to switch the water between the shower & the bathtub. and there’s only one set of controls for both.
ie raise a lever on the bathtub faucet that switches the water to the shower & then turn on the shower

it’s weird & silly to me

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 February 2018 07:40 (six years ago) link

I think I've seen that in other continents too

Haribo Hancock (sic), Monday, 12 February 2018 07:43 (six years ago) link

it's just a "some baths have this, some baths don't" thing. like one spout or two.

not only an east coast problem, they are like that in LA as well

Colonel Poo, Monday, 12 February 2018 07:48 (six years ago) link

maybe not the weirdly short thing, but definitely the so full of water it looks like the toilet's blocked thing

Colonel Poo, Monday, 12 February 2018 07:51 (six years ago) link

I also hate overly full toilets, seems so wasteful

it is weird crapping into a swimming pool, but it’s cleaner in a lot of ways

I've pooped in LA a lot, and only EXCEEDINGLY RARELY, if at all, had to manually cradle my dick or rest it on the seat to avoid reverse-periscoping
