That's for the outside edge. The wax seal thingy goes on the inside where the toilet meets the drain hole.
There are also reusable rubber types so maybe there already was one?

Also, if you're buying a toilet pick up a new wax/etc seal. You will need to replace that with the old one

I've been in a couple video calls where somebody ripped ass and it was picked up pretty well by the mic. In one everyone kinda paused for a moment so I'm pretty sure the farter knew they'd been heard.
Damn sensitive headset mics these days.

What would be a better way to go from Copper->Pex? Something with a solder connection on one side and the pex-crimp on the other?

Funny how a country that always complains about "interference" when anyone else comments on human rights concerns etc is always hot to pull up a phone whenever a foreign government, news agency, etc so much as talks to Taiwan etc...

Or just take off the outer tire and then put it back on again after the rock falls out?

Probably OK if it's a cargo elevator.

This is the first time I've seen a wood fireplace (or a fireplace) in a bathroom, but actually this seems like a great idea.

Right up there with Jeff Bezos' rocket (and I'm pretty sure he stole the concept for that from Austin Powers)

Pffft. Old buggers are just spoiled.
Non-safety outlets?
Janky breakers?!
Nowadays kids have to work to get that sweet AC coursing through their nervous system!

Or even just moving to nicer or better switches/receptables.
My house had a bunch of the old shitty dual-rounded style outlets. When I got kids, I swapped most of those for the square outlets that also have protections against somebody jamming something in one side (plug needs to evenly push on both hot+neutral for it to "open").
Later also replaced many of the stick switches for cosmetic reasons (the old ones had cracked/dirty covers and deco looks a bit nicer).

Damn. Worth a try. Sometimes it's one of those things people forget (myself included once upon a time)

Which side is the hinge on?
If it's on your side, knock the pins out of the hinge and remove the door, then change the handle

I'd imagine there might be overlaps between countries like Canada/USA/Mexico etc. So if group of bombers/fighters is seen on the Canadian side but clearly on a heading towards the US unannounced... it might still be a concern. That is especially if there was a less trusting relationship between the two countries and Canadian bombers weren't otherwise known as geese...

Interesting enough, I believe that particular word/charge actually applies to a sticking the make member anywhere that's not a vagina.
So even those who push for such laws because they're homophobic are probably unwittingly in violation of them if they've ever received/provided a BJ

I recall seeing an article for these in regards to HIV and a historic condition (might have also been the black death), where it was believed that people with a particular mutation that made them resistant/immune was do to a mutation associated with plague survivors

Reply to Trying to tile for the first time by [deleted]
Tip from somebody who didn't: Check how straight your walls and corners are.
I had a bathroom where one wall was off (I didn't make the wall) and while it wasn't obvious normally it was very much so when compared against the straight runs of tile
I ended up ripping out my first tile job and re-doing it with the tiles rotated 45 degrees (points towards the wall instead, which looked much better
