What hair? Thats a bloody wig.

I bet he's never spent an hour washing his hair. I have, but then I have actual real hair and lots of it.

It's a back-combed mullet - this is why rednecks love him so much.

...and a girlfriend, but you wouldn't know her. She lives in... Montreal..?

No, I think The Brits may have one that one...

If you seriously think that look at the picture the Beeb used to illustrate this story. it's ill-hair-ious.

I would have thought that the Republican Party, in its current guise, and those who defend it and its indefensible actions, were a big enough shower without requiring any change to the current legislation.

say dry clean only?

You aren't supposed to dry clean hamsters.

You aren't supposed to dry clean hamsters.

I wonder how much duct tape the White House buys?

... is attempting to get an Emmy. A daytime Emmy.

For his hair.

And that is the legacy the big, fat orange one with tiny hands has invented for himself.

... I use a drill to remove the flow restriction in my shower. Works a treat.

But drills are probably too complicated for Dummy to wrap his tiny little hands mind around.

It's easy to be worldly-wise and shrug your shoulders and say 'he will probably win', but why preemptively bend the neck? Why create a mind-set for 'an inevitable' which is not?

It's the hair on his head he's struggling with? I suspect with all the KFC and McDonalds he claims to eat, he has turds of such staggering density and adhesion, that he must need a zookeeper with a wirebrush to drag the sticky shit nuggets out of his arse hair.

What he needs is a visit to 3M of BASF to have them produce an appropriate 'bunghole safe' solvent to scrub and scrape his crack with.

I thought the only showers he was interested in came from Russian prostitutes?

That they don't take into account local factors. I live in a part of the UK where there is very rarely (every 20 years from experience) any shortage of water, yet I'm still forced to have showers with poor flow and toilets that barely shift the detritus from the bowl, nevermind down the 10m of soil pipe to the sewer. Water is in plentiful supply where I live, but because it can get a little short in and around the capital, we all have to suffer.

We aren't restricted in the UK. Some water companies try to reduce the pressure to reduce costs, but there isn't a flow restriction.

The shower in my current place could be used as a weapon!

Eh? Reduced pressure = reduced flow capacity (i.e. flow restriction)

I will flag down the next passing Vogon ship & volunteer to listen to poetry for a ride off this rock.

It really is time for him to be taken to a place of safefy, his safety. He is a real danger to the civilised world.

Please USA throw this [redacted][redacted] out on his fat arse in November.

It's ok, he has a never ending supply of new toys to throw out of his pram... and they're the best toys, the most expensive toys, the greatest toys and they're made for Americans (in China).... sorry and they're paid for by American taxpayers.

He's probably thinking of CFL lights. They contain (very small amounts) of Mercury. Hence being class as hazardous materials. Anyone with their wits about them started switching to LED lights years ago.

I've still got a load of CFL lights in the house... I've lived here 11yrs and I fitted all CFL lights when I bought the house. I've had 2 of them fail in 11yrs... but as I replace them I'm switching to LED ones.

As for the LED ones I do have... some of them have lasted 6-7yrs so far... so quality is not an issue.

I have no idea what old Grumpy Trumpy is doing to make them fail so often.

I've had the opposite experience with LEDs.

The two big ideas behind LEDs are that they use less energy and they last longer, so less waste. The energy savings is hard to refute, as they definitely use much less than traditional incandescents (not taking into consideration any manufacturing differences that might require different levels of "energy" to produce them). The lifespan thing... well... I hope you don't have fader switches. For non-fader switches, they seem to have very few problems. However, you put them on a fader, and it seems to dramatically shorten their lifespan.

By my estimate, over the past 3-4 years, we've had at least 5-6 LED bulbs die that are on faders. They don't completely die like traditional bulbs. They start having flickering issues and sometimes will randomly cut off then back on. If you're smart enough, you keep the original box and receipt, and the manufacturer will usually replace them without problems (they typically come with a five year warranty).

The biggest problem with the push to more efficient bulbs was that it was so aggressive. Halogen weren't really any better (and often times a shorter life span), CFLs just plain suck, and LEDs have had a lot of teething issues. Technology STILL hasn't caught up to it (as exhibited by my experience). I remember the earlier days of LEDs where they wouldn't work at ALL on a fader. As they progressed, you then had issues where only certain faders were "compatible" (I think an analog vs digital thing). So in addition to getting new bulbs (which were closer to $7-$10 each at the time), you also needed to replace all of your fader switches.

I believe the maths advises to swap them out for LEDs before they fail. The replacement costs are offset by lower running costs. Just remember to recycle the mercury....

Clean water will become more and more costly as population increases. Already in the US lake Mead behind the Hoover dam is at a record low level meaning they are contemplating actually pumping water back up from down river to top it up.

So having shower heads just pissing water away to please the orange one is not going to help preserve water.
