    I fucking hate motion-sensing faucets so much. We can edit the human genome, but are unable to make a motion sensor that actually fucking works?! Fuck outta here.

    I actually prefer the old-school “push-down and have limited time” type at this point.

      I just want a foot pedal to press. Public toilets should also have those just for hygienic reasons.

        I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

          ADA compliancy is such a BS hurdle sometimes.

          “Hey we made this improvement that will help 99.99% of all people!”

          “What about the remaining 0.01%?”

          “Well, no, unfortunately it won’t work for those edge cases”

          “Ewww… Well it’s not allowed then. If a blind man in a wheelchair with a service dog can’t use it, then no one can!”

        I really miss these hand washing stations we had in elementary school.

    I have seen something like this a lot. Many more that work fine but but they certainly don’t seem to be at the five 9’s or two nines or maybe even one nine. maybe one nine.

      This is the first time I hear this expression, what does it mean?
