When H5N1 avian influenza started spreading among dairy cattle across the U.S. this year, regulators warned against consuming unpasteurized milk. What happened? Raw milk sales went up.
Distributors of this unsafe-for-human-consumption product deny H5N1—which has the potential to sicken millions of people—is a danger. Dairy farmers decline to allow disease detectives onto their properties.
I got a shattaf (handheld bidet sprayer) at the start of the last pandemic. It’s incredible. It’s easy to install for a renter, and is so much cleaner than tp. Only downside is it’s cold water unless you run a second line from your sink’s hot water line.
I always wanted to try one of those things, but I don’t want to install one. I also want one with a remote control that has a range of at least 7 yards.
It’s super easy to install.
Close the water feed valve, flush the toilet, disconnect the feed line from the tank, connect the Y adapter valve to the tank, reconnect the feed line, open the water valve.
It took me ~15 minutes to install and had a towel’s worth of clean water spillage to clean up.
My took me about 4 hours to install. But I needed to run an outlet with a ground fault outlet for mine. But the water tap is dead easy.

You’re thinking of a super soaker!
You can get ones that auto magically lift the lid with motion sensor. Add in a heated seat and by the time you get your panties down it’s nice and cozy.
The way they’re usually set up here in the Nordics where they’re pretty common is that the tap feeds into that sprayer, meaning that I have to open my tap and then set it to whatever water temperature I want, and then when I… err, pull the trigger on the sprayer the water flows from the sprayer and not the tap.
That sounds nice. I wish they were standard in the US. Does it just connect to the faucet or does a line run into the sink cabinet?
I have zero idea what the terminology is in English, but it’s connected to what translates to something like an “ejector line” that’s either built into the faucet or purchasable as a separate adapter. Here’s a diagram I found for Oras Bidetta as an example:
Here’s what it looks like under my sink (sorry about the awkward angle, didn’t want to remove a shelf so I had to shoot blind)
With the line on the left being the one for the hand shower, and it just connects into the faucet via a built in ejector thingamajig.
Yes! I’ve seen those. I’m very envious. As a renter, I’m not allowed to cut the necessary hole in the sink cabinet to access the warm water line, since it’s not exposed like yours. If I owned my home, you can be sure I’d install one before I started painting. Lol
Thank you for taking the time to find and take the photos!
No problem! I figured it’s easier to show a diagram and a picture than try to explain it when my plumbing terminology is shaky enough even in Finnish, let alone English 😅
That’s fair. I can assure you that your English is far better than my Finnish. The only words I know are salmiakki and pulla. Although I can say that 100% of the words I know are delicious. LMAO
🤣
It’s so much fun! There’s a really great Danish candy called Dracula. Have you tried it? There’s ammonium chloride powder on the outside, then a sweet licorice hard candy, with a liquid licorice and ammonium chloride center. It’s a roller coaster of a candy.

The bidet is the way. I’ve used one for so long that I hardly ever notice the cold water.
Wouldn’t it still take time to heat up? My sink takes 30 seconds to get hot.
I bought a bidet with all the goodies - heated seat, heated water, heated air drier, charcoal air filtration, select-able sprays from elderly/small child gentle to peel the paint off your arse, and automatic seat raising. All temperatures can be adjusted to your personal comfort.
Worth every penny…Trump can keep his gold plated toilet. I crap like a King!
mine takes a whole minute. I just run it for the duration of the first log.
Great until I buy all your water
Jokes on you - I own my own well.
