It is different.

There are 2 holes in the tank so it sends 2 streams of water into the bowl. 1 stream spins around the bowl keeping it cleaner than most toilets. My plumber also believed it is thicker porcelain than most modern toilets.

Sometimes I go above and beyond and TAKE a cart from the parking lot into the store and use it when I arrive. Imagine if everyone did that.

Roast some vegetables. One on my favorite recipes for this is cauliflower fries: https://summertomato.com/2012/07/30/roasted-curried-cauliflower-to-die-for/

I only use the cauliflower and olive oil and it tastes great. I also evolved to roasting other vegetables at the same time, most often carrots and broccoli but any vegetable can be roasted... I think.

Anydesk spokeswoman stated "It's all this fucking cat's fault! This is one major son of a bitch cat, folks...don't get too close!"

Why must HIS morality be EVERYONE'S morality? What gives him the right to decide that for me?

I got a Vormax toilet a couple years ago and it is a HUGE upgrade from my old round toilet. Elongated toilets only in my house from now on. And I can sit on the throne and scratch my balls as much as I want with no water contact.

Too bad the consequences are not prison.

Scorpions - Humanity: Hour 1

Listen

I know many nowadays do not consider the Scorpions to be metal. I disagree, but I'm using older standards. Metal didn't used to be as heavy, see some of the classic metal bands for examples (Black Sabbath, etc.). Whatever standard you use to measure, this album rocks.

I love this album because it is a very interesting departure from the norm for the Scorpions. This is a rock opera and has some really great tracks on it. I listen to most of my music in album format, that is, as an album from beginning to end in the order the band put it on the album. I think listening this way is even more important for this album because it tells a story as any good opera should do. I think the best track is the last: Humanity (note: this song is missing from the "Listen" link above). An awesome conclusion to a great opera and dramatic, in true operatic style. You're Lovin Me to Death is another great song. 321 rocks too.

This is a hidden gem among much bigger hit albums from a band with decades of experience. I wish they would do another rock opera.

A few notes:
Own music, do not rent.
I'm buying CDs from smaller labels directly. Cheaper than Scamazon sometimes. A couple examples: https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/collections/cds https://metalonmetalrecords.com/shop/
My library has loaned me many CDs over the years. I still have an external CD burner I can connect to my PC. Thank you, library.
Used media stores are awesome. Give them your business.

Brits seem to really love when I heavily salt tea and heat it in the microwave. I top it off by saying "Cheerio! Pip pip!" in my best southern drawl.

Don't know why...
