Like we didn't know
Like we didn't know this would happen.
Hm
I think a, uh, friend, has seen a video of that on the internet before.
Link?
Link?
Ugh
Look. I think the plan for these is dumb. But if we have them, then they shouldn't be vandalized. I hope they catch the mental midgets who did this and make them clean it up...with their tongues.
Ya me to
I really hope the cops use all their resources to catch this perp, it's not like we have people being shot
vandalism of these is entirely predictable
You can design the systems to be vandalism-resilient, such that the only attacks that get much of anywhere are mailboxing by car, and some crazy park perv smearing their spooge on the nozzle.
But most DoS by exhausting the reservoir can be prevented, and should have been considered in the first minute of thinking about the design problem.
Was It Actually Vandalized, Or Did It Merely Malfunction?
Maybe
It was just glad to see them.
Didn't see that one coming...
Didn't see that one coming... should have a ten second delay between squirts built in lol
haha
That's what she said....
Self-Serve pumps should be illegal.
Make them Full-Serve only, problem solved.
Sounds like a worthwhile
Sounds like a worthwhile taxpayer funded job.
Millenium Park?
Have to confess I had no idea where Millenium Park was, and I've been living here like forever.
West Roxbury, off VFW Parkway

Your average public bathroom
Your average public bathroom has all manner of auto-shutoff devices nowadays to prevent accidental (or intentional) waste. Faucets, lights, and paper towel dispensers use motion sensors or timers to turn off after people are done using them. And some bathrooms have replaced paper towel dispensers with those heater hand-drier things (which again, automatically shut off). Yet the people who manufactured these devices couldn't do the same?
Not vandalism, just a messy machine?
The report says "Sunscreen all over the ground around sunscreen dispenser near playground at Millenium Park."
Adam, why did you assume someone did this on purpose? It could just be that the machine drips or occasionally gets triggered by mistake, and the solution is to install a drip tray underneath it.
