Depending on how clogged the drain is, ive seen those be useless before. The general case for those to be useful is that main drain is only blocked because the user closed it purposely. If the drain is clogged it becomes pointless-ish
Yea my bathtub has one of these that helpfully increases the window between “the right level” and “overflow eminent” by about 4x the fill rate without the overflow drain, but certainly can’t handle the extra water indefinitely. I became fascinated by this metric/window when I almost overflowed the tub when I missed a timer.
Y’all know that post about the importance of walking and getting off your phone? I’m your altogether-normal, socialized coworker that’s in the bathtub 2:30-3:00PM doing pretty much the same thing being described there. What a place to be and think!
Sorry I can’t respond to your IM right this second, I’m thinking about the fill rate of my glorious tub, it’s failsafe features, the pothos over my head, the spider friend in the corner, and - before you get too concerned - whether these new bugs warrant further review of network architecture we’re building out.
I love the tub, and I make no apologies for it. Good morning HN, thanks for reading.
