@MajorHavoc has it covered. It's the flush valve that varies most. Most common is the flapper design, but some brands use plastic towers.

Fill valves are almost universally interchangable. Your variables there will be age and interference. You'd have to go back to basically antiques before things become incompatible. As for interference, units with the big float on the end of a rod may not fit in a tank that uses a tall flush valve. They make more compact styles for those situations.

All that bring said... What are you trying to fix? The flush and fill valves are by far the most common maintenance items, but if neither of those things are the issue then you're going to run into proprietary parts fast.

I can take it or leave it. I rarely turn it on, and only if its draining slowly. I do not use it purposely for food waste, and honestly don't know why anyone would.

I've had to clean out some nasty clogged pipes before that handled sink waste. Maybe if everyone saw what kind of lovely buildup accumulates nobody would use these things.

Yep. This is such a weird fear monger topic.

If the country that owns IO ceases to exist then IANA will just make it an ICANN generic TLD. Such a widely used TLD won't be allowed to disappear. The rules are all made up anyway.

They explain nothing. They're in the same boat as all others: open source will let them keep MV2 longer than mainstream chrome, but that future is uncertain as the main project codebase starts to evolve around MV3 and backward compatibility to hack MV2 back in gets lost over time. Nobody here can make promises, and sites that make that make those judgments are naive.

Good. Don't let Congress inaction in the pursuit of election politics work, and take credit for yourselves instead.

This is broken governance in action, but at least we have action this time. Pray the courts stay out of it for the sake of the people being helped by this move.

Soju is to Korea as sake is to Japan. OP mentioned Korea so it's unlikely a mistake. And Sake is a similar rage for abv. It's naturally brewed and not distilled. Most yeast dies around 20% abv so virtually no naturally brewed product can get stronger. Vodka and other spirits are distilled so the skys the limit. Most are 40% for historic tax reasons.

So, in other words, SCOTUS took the case to invent something entirely unrelated in order to rollback 40 years of progress. Got it. I'll look forward in dread for the outcome in 9 months.

I hate your analysis, and not because you're wrong.

Summary: the Maricopa County Clerk, the person who runs elections among other things, lost his primary reelection. While a Republican he was a defender of the legitimacy of the 2020 election. His winning opponent, on the other hand, has been an election denier.

Published July 1st.

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman took aim at CNN's News Central hosts Monday morning for being "complicit" in Donald Trump's political rise amid the presumptive Republican nominee's bid for a second term.

Lichtman, appearing with hosts John Berman and Sara Sidner, shifted gears during his comments about recent polls between Trump and Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

He believes Trump's remarks during last week's debate should have grabbed more headlines than Biden's much-discussed struggles.

"I love you guys in the media, but I have to say, you are complicit in Donald Trump lying and conning his way to the presidency. All of the attention has been on Biden's faltering debate, but Donald Trump's debate was vastly worse," Lichtman said. "It was based entirely on lies. More than 30 significant lies.

"He threatened our democracy by saying he wouldn't accept the results of a fair election. That he would seek retribution. Why wasn't that the headlines? Why wasn't that the greatest concern from the debate, rather than all of the focus on Joe Biden."

In his rebuke of the media's coverage of Trump, he continued:

"There's an old saying, it's not just the evil people who wreak havoc on the world, it's the good people who don't do enough to stop them. And the media right now is complicit in Donald Trump gaslighting his way to the presidency and threatening our democracy," Lichtman added.
