I wouldn't know. There are toilets in the US that use a high pressure flush, but they still have a siphon. It's there so that the toilet can flush without water pressure from the mains (you can flush a toilet by dumping a bucket of water in it) and it also forms a seal that prevents sewer gas from flowing back up through the toilet. So even if the toilet uses an alternate flushing method, it probably still has a siphon.

It was enough water to fill that room in a few minutes, I'd say a few toilets and shower drains would be a negligible effect. Although once the water got a few feet over the bowl, or other drain, I'd stay the fuck away from them because of potential delta-P situations.

Training scene where they shove a shower hose down a toilet and use it to breathe...

There would be no air (or even sewer gas) to breath in that case. Toilets work by raising the water level in the bowl above the water level in the S-bend/siphon. Since the room was full of water, those toilets would have been flushing constantly, and the whole pipe would be full of water.

Better(ish) solution. Use the body bags that they each had to fill out and place in their trunk/locker to capture an air bubble. That would at least give you some time to attack the door, or figure out how to drain the room.

No, you can have non-removable magazines. The tube in a pump-action shotgun is the magazine, but it's definitely not a clip.

That kinda shit pisses me off. I get annoyed when the ER asks my wife if everything is okay at home while I'm standing there in the room with her. They really should make it policy that all parties except the patient and their healthcare providers exit the room before asking that question.

From another thread...

Sure sure. Perfectly legal to do an abortion in Texas in a case of a medical emergency.

And then the case gets reviewed by a board of religious zealots who believe unwanted pregnancies (and by extension, pregnancy related deaths) are part of their god’s divine plan. They determine if this was an abortion, or a murder. In Texas, a state where the only thing liberal is their application of the death penalty.

Can you see why what the law says and what the law does are very different?

Probably less of an "everyone is going to die" and more of a "everyone is going to start screaming and vomiting" look.

I think it was less, "the US is good" and more "one way or another someone is gonna fuck you over, sometimes the only choice you have is who"

Well, we successfully shifted all the wealth my generation will ever create over to ultra-rich Defense contractors.

Oooh, a lesson in not changing history from "Mr I'm my own Grandpa!"

All the more reason (or not, depending on your party affiliation) to ditch the electoral college and go with a ranked-choice popular vote.
