Did you post at the same time as him and noticed after?Priceless. Great minds think alike.
If you check the timestamps you'd see they posted at the same time.Did you post at the same time as him and noticed after?Priceless. Great minds think alike.
Timestamps only tell you minutes. It could have been that he posted 30 seconds later.If you check the timestamps you'd see they posted at the same time.Did you post at the same time as him and noticed after?Priceless. Great minds think alike.
I understand all that. However if two people post at pretty much the same time, one person's post will often go through before they see the other person's, and they'll notice afterwards. The alternative would be if Ryan saw IndyLion's post but was already going to post himself, and remarked on it afterwards. But this whole conversation is getting pretty far from the new restrooms, so...The concept of "at the same time" doesn't really exist for computers. Each and every recordable event has to come before or after any other recordable event. Somewhere deep inside the forum database there is most likely an event timestamp specified to the nearest thousandth of a second. But, since this is a casual hobbyist forum the precise moment of entry doesn't really matter so the front end rounds the displayed time to the nearest second.
I can't possibly imagine why some people feel the need to stop and comment on everything they claim not to care about.I can't possibly imagine a universe in which it matters. The levels of Internet pedantry never cease to amaze me.
I am in NYP often enough that the state of the bathrooms are of more than passing interest to me. So you can imagine my disappointment when I open the thread and discover that all there is to read about are splitting minutes in forum time stamps.I can't possibly imagine why some people feel the need to stop and comment on everything they claim not to care about.
Thie iOS app (which is what I sued to post) does show seconds for times less than a minute. IndyLions post went in 12 seconds before mine did.The concept of "at the same time" doesn't really exist for computers.

The #1 reason I'll pick up an AcelaClub pass when I travel with my children, is so that I have access to a nice, clean, safe bathroom.It must be a sad state of affairs in American railroading when we are excited for revamped restrooms in a train station.
This has to be one of the simplest and yet longest lasting problems that we still cannot seem to resolve even in 2018. If anything it actually seems to be getting worse over time. I previously mentioned some exceptions in Japan, and there are a few others in places like Changi (Singapore) and Chek Lap Kok (Hong Kong), but on the whole I cannot think of many locations with a high volume of passengers and routinely clean facilities. Seems like the sort of problem that could benefit from an X-Prize style ingenuity motivator.The #1 reason I'll pick up an AcelaClub pass when I travel with my children, is so that I have access to a nice, clean, safe bathroom. Though, its not exclusive to railroading, or America. Public Transit bathrooms, all over the world, can be dirty, broken, and full of transients.It must be a sad state of affairs in American railroading when we are excited for revamped restrooms in a train station.
Yeah, I eventually realized I had gummed up minutes and seconds but by then it was already quoted. D'oh!Thie iOS app (which is what I sued to post) does show seconds for times less than a minute.

I read an article on a study about this once and it was split decision. On the one hand the average man was more messy than the average woman, so in that sense you're right. On the other hand the messiest women were far nastier than the messiest men. Those are not scientific terms but the study was mainly focused on presence of risky bodily fluids and the viability of infection spreading. Apparently some/many parents aren't doing enough to verify their offspring are respecting the private areas of public facilities after the point where they've matured enough to use the facilities on their own.Seems to be a pattern here - men complaining more than women about cleanliness of bathrooms. This verifies my often thought notion - that men are much more messy than women.
They probably haven't been cleaned since the tower was built.Anyone visit the public toilets at the Leaning Tower of Pisa? They are the most disgusting facilities I have ever tried to use including the "squat holers" in Asia.
