situation

A no-win situation, also called a “lose-lose situation”, is one where a person has choices, but no choice leads to a net gain. For example, if an executioner offers the condemned the choice of death by being hanged, shot, or poisoned, all choices lead to death; the condemned is in a no-win situation. This bleak situation gives the chooser no room: whichever choice is made the person making it will lose their life. Less drastic situations may also be considered no-win situations - if one has a choice for lunch between a ham sandwich and a roast beef sandwich, but is a vegetarian or has a wheat allergy, that might also be considered a no-win situation.

    I've started out on my own recently, still cant make up my mind what to do when in the course of doing a job I turn a stopcock that starts leaking or a gate valve that seizes etc. " It was fine before you got here" sort of thing. Do I charge to replace them or do it for free? What do you guys do?

    In what situation do you use a Warix?

    I saw a post in Hall of Shame thread where a Warix flange was used. Never heard of that one before - what is it used for? Is it just that it is larger and therefore better for high flow rate, such as a pumped shower?
