A little bit confused by the graph but it seems like he's solidly ahead with most votes counted? So he's secured the win?

Honestly to me this claim seems like a stretch. This artist is not the first person to do these kind of high contrast futuristic acid graphics either.

And then things like claiming the double chevrons, symbols in boxes and "aleph" (which is a marathon thing to begin with) next to some text are directly lifted from their designs when they are also common design elements as well, all just seems like someone trying to milk some fame out of this.

And also you famously can't copyright an artsyle.

Edit: after going through the thread and seeing higher quality images, I take all this back. The symbols in the boxes and the aleph text are litterally exactly the same, this is stealing.

Is Mr Owens British perchance?

They're typically just called a "urinal automatic syphon"

Here's a great Steve Mould video on them if you want to learn more

The modern ones do, this was the solution before motion sensors

In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.

So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.

And it's been that way basically forever.

Actually you did vote for that buddy.

I feel like he would get along with my Cat Zuko

Educated guess:

  1. To allow the supply chain to adjust so we don't cause a sudden shortage skyrocketing the price of solar, making homes more expensive to build or delaying construction

  2. A lot of new build are basically copy pastes of the same design, so companies have time to properly adjust designs for them and not just haphazardly slap them on to existing ones which could cause problems

  3. Red tape and Bureaucracy. Updating laws and regulation takes time, then there's risk assessments environmental planning, maybe adjustments to the grid layout on new estates.

All Disney employees are actually just clones of Walt Disney himself

And maybe he wouldn't be able to do as many action scenes/stunts because of his injuries?

I mean, sure, I guess? If you manage to kill someone on a bicycle then you did something extremely wrong.

But obviously this is just bait to take the conversation away from the much bigger car fatalities.
