For those interested I bought this exact model and it didn't fit my toilet seat. It essentially adds an extra 2 inches or so of material between the porcelain and the bolt tabs on the seat. This means it doesn't close completely.

I think people are missing the issue here. Of course everyone agrees with a see something say something policy. The issue is that they were getting paid to report crime. Given that these people are not trained law enforcement, are typically

Terrorism and gun violence is and has always been about economic impact. 9/11 had more concentrated economic impact than heart disease ever will. If you think people are being overly emotional over these issues try to imagine a plausib

I work for a well known software company now and of the 20 or so developers I work with closely I can confidently say that 50% of them don't even drink alcohol (mostly cultural) and the other 45% stick to craft beers and 5% might smoke
