  • These are a horrible option. They tried them in Boston and no one used them. The thing is they were all pay, so unless you had exact change you weren’t using it. But even worse they had signs all over them that if you took too long they would automatically open, and if you tried to hold the door closed, you’d get soaked from the self-cleaning. And of course they were in prominent spots, rather than being off to the side, so no matter what you were walking into a crowd directly from the bathroom

    I have no idea how long they considered too long, but it’s not worth the risk, especially since who ever carries change anyway,

















  • Interesting news but why is this @politics?

    Am I the only guy be who thinks this is somewhat wholesome, despite the tragedy? No one is stoking outrage, no one is casting blame, it casts the teachers in a heroic light, and it even looks like they were correctly prepared. They had and used bear spray, they stayed in a group, defended their charges: that seems like about the best you can do and sometimes it’s not enough.

    Even just that this is a natural tragedy. Man’s best efforts will never overcome what nature can do: but it’s so nice that it didn’t start “rogue gunman opened fire at a school….”

    I’m not trying to make light of the tragedy; they have my sympathy, but it’s “only” the tragedy

    Edit: downvoting for the horrible source. I turned off reader mode and there were so many layers of so many ads that I could no longer find the article
