You should not breathe the air from sewage pipes. You'd have to be at the end of your options to do this, if there's a fire and you can't leave the room via the door or window, you would want to cover the door with clothes/towels whatever to slow the ingress of smoke and open/smash the window calling for help. You should be crawling around if the room is filling with smoke, keep low to the floor as that's where the cleaner air is, the sewage pipe is not cleaner air.
You’ve just made me realized this. In every hotel I have ever been in, even ones which have cost upwards of $600/night, I have never seen a bathroom with a window.
If you think about average hotel construction, most are built similarly; bathroom right as you walk in, bed(s) further out, and a window. I’d wager this is due to keeping the plumbing more centralized to the building core, especially the waste pipes. If you ran the bathrooms to the outer edge of the building, that would increase the length of the plumbing laterals, more space between floors to accommodate greater slope of the waste pipes (and a greater risk of them becoming clogged), and reduced water pressure (without upsizing a pressure pump). It just becomes more economical to build this way, especially when you add a number of floors.
Stayed in a 450/night a couple years ago in Berkeley that definitely had a window in the bathroom. It was an older house, and I’m quite sure that some of the rooms didn’t.
Edit (by house I meant mansion/Palace that’s been converted into a 100ish room hotel)
There should be a vent pipe leading to the roof outside to allow gasses to leave the pipes or smth like that, I’m not a plumber, but I assume this uses that
And the pipe allows air down from the vent on the roof or wherever? I would have thought the vent is to let out pressure from methane build up or something. Plus somehow that air needs to not only get down the pipe but also up the one going to the toilet.
How does air make it all the way down the pipe to the back of the toilet, surely that pipe has methane or other gasses that are the reason for the vent existing?
The vent is to stop vacuum from forming behind your water traps when someone else flushes on the same drain line. There shouldn’t be any real amount of decomposing waste in that pipe permanently, it should wash along to sewer or septic tank. The vent pipe definitely has enough to breath but one can only imagine the smell or taste.
YOU broke Lemmy. Insert really poor quality image of a lamentably bad site logo to help drive home the issue that “this is funny you have to laugh” because obviously we’re not specifically blaming you the user for doing nothing out of the ordinary even though we totally are and that’s “the joke” funny ha ha you need to laugh but you don’t need a helpful error message because we’re cool and edgy like that.
I’ve personally been blamed for the fact that lascivious female streaming material shows up on my feed despite the facts that I’m not sexually interested in females and the fact that I’ve never even seen a Twitch.
I sent a poor woman on the wrong bus before getting on the bus she needed once. I realised way too late, right before I passed the place she wanted to go to.
I hope she's OK. I've been given the wrong direction since, so I guess my karma have been restored lol.
I once sent a family on the wrong train but then it turned out that train went the same place they wanted to get to anyway (and I know their ticket was valid for either). I’d have felt so bad otherwise, they were so panicked already.
Indeed. The thing that threw me off there was that I’d imagine the increased water pressure in that room immediately flood the u-bend on the toilet, given that toilets flush when more water is added to the bowl.
I’ll take it a step further and recommend K-Lite Codec Pack, it lets you set up MPC-HC with that and the option to enable center boost for 5.1 audio on 2.0 setups
I’ll scope it out! I love VLC but I use MPC-HC when I use SVP to smooth animation up to 60FPS. People hate on smoothing but it works soooooo much better with a decent video card than with a 4000USD Samsung TV hahaha. Get yo artifacts outta here
Quick edit: I have a 2.1 setup, I assume that’s fine still?
Yeah, 2.1 doesn’t have center either (it’s the real reason dialogue is quiet and background is loud. 5.1 expects SL-L-C-R-SR and sub (the .1) C plays the “dialogue” track normally.
