Anonymous asked: I just remembered because of a facebook ad I just saw but dude what exactly is up with those fountains in portland? the ones with 4 basins with a kind of bulb going up in the middle with a hole at the top that just like splurts out a small leak of water? am I supposed to blowjob the bulb for sweet sweet hydration? or find 3 friends and block 3 of the bulbs to get a real spray? how are you guys getting away with wasting that much water with drinking fountains that never turn off?

Oh, the Benson Bubblers! No, the water sprays up high enough that you can lean down and sip it without putting your mouth on the fixture, though if you\u2019re trying to fill a bottle or something you might have to plug one of the outlets to raise the pressure.

And water isn\u2019t really an issue, the biggest Pacific-draining river in North America passes right by the city, drainage is probably a bigger problem. But they can be turned off in the winter to prevent freezing.
