I deny any connections to Cleveland, other than visiting the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame twice. Dennis Kucinich is a short idiot...

I give up. That went over my head. I think I'm happy that it did so.

TOPIC: clothes washers and dryers for older units with "weak" plumbing?

I live in a relatively old condo complex, built in the 1960's or
1970's, and not the fanciest place around. One issue is that we can't
have clothes washers or dryers in the units because (we are told) the
plumbing can't handle it (and maybe the ventilation system, I'm not
sure if that's an issue too). I don't know the technical details of
that, just what they tell us. (We have a common laundry room with
coin machines.)
Question: With all the advances in technology, you'd think someone
would have developed washers/dryers designed for these older type
living units. The people who run the condo complex may not be aware
of such units (if they exist), so I'm posting this query. Does anyone
know if there are special washers and dryers that have been designed
to work with plumbing and/or ventilation which is otherwise too "old"
for standard washer/dryers? And if so, can you specify what such
washer/dryer units are called, and/or who makes them, etc?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Cut calories of any/all types enough to lose weight (or stay lean) and
generally cholesterol and triglycerides will be low. Have fat intake less
of saturated and the worse-still trans fats and more of unsaturated
especially cis-mono unsaturated (majority of olive oil) and "good
cholesterol" goes up. Get plenty of aerobic exercise and "good
cholesterol" goes up and "bad cholesterol" goes down.
If you are one of the 15-20% of the population with a genetic deficiency
in cholesterol regulation, then there is an extra need to eat animal
products in general in quite a bit of moderation, and to eat egg yolks,
organ meats, and most shellfish in severe moderation.

From: Doc
I replaced a toilet seat. At Home Depot they had a large selection of
various materials - wood, plastic and molded wood. The old one was a
molded wood seat that came with the house.
There seemed to be more molded wood models than any other. The paint
had worn off the old one in spots and it actually cracked which is
what finally prompted me to replace it. I went with a plastic model
with a "quiet close" hinge and a quick release feature which seems
like a really good idea for convenient, thorough cleaning of the
toilet.
I went with plastic because it doesn't have paint to wear off and I'm
guessing won't break on the load bearing area like the old molded wood
one did and will hold up better over time.
What's the benefit of a molded wood seat? Some of them were pretty
expensive, so it doesn't seem to be just a "cheap" alternative.
