The Great Stagnation Rebuffed

Given that toilet technology, the average speed on freeways, and productivity in general, has been stagnant for about 40 years, it's good to appreciate real innovations when you see it. Take the new New Zealand drinking game:
Called possum, the game has quite simple rules: you sit in a tree and drink until you fall out of it.
Part of being young is embracing one's freedom to be stupid, and this takes it to another level.

    Toilet technology has been going backwards for several decades actually thanks to EPA mandated gpf limits.

    If you're a property owner an older (or Canadian) big flush toilet is a valuable asset indeed.

    Same with window "technology".
