Is Necessity the Mother of Invention?
Necessity the mother of invention, is a phrase I've been hearing my whole life, but in recent years I've questioned it.
Whose necessity?
Seems the more normal progression these days is come up with and improvement, or at least change, to something that exists, and a massive ad campaign to convince people it's a necessity.
There is no splash back if you hit the down slope at a low angle but this works too.
They were given 13 minutes on the last day of the conference(Tuesday) to make their presentation.
I wonder what Mabel Song contributed?
Maybe she contributed the necessity of all the saintly women who clean up after us.
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.

Necessity & The Mother of Invention?! Nah, dog, you've misunderstood.
It's Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention.
What kinda name is Necessity, anyway?

Re: Is Necessity the Mother of Invention?
I miss the full length urinals of the olden days. Reaching from your chest down into the floor. What happened to them? Now they have smaller urinals at different heights, so as a tall person, you have to pay attention to not piss on the top shelf of the low urinal if somebody is using the normal height one already. Fairly annoying. Why did they break urinals? This isn't complicated stuff.

And/or shipping costs and difficulty of installation (Not necessarily complication, but weight and size).

See that's living your best life.
Pet Peave, guys who dump their tobacco dip in the urinal immediately clogging it so some poor bastard has to clean it out.
