why don't commodes have 2 buttons (2 modes) for water saving?

Boost gauge? That's not too bad, but if it needs an EGT gauge, things have REALLY got out of hand!

After someone plugged up the locker room toilet when it had a bit of a seep from the fill valve and flooded the floor, they installed one of those "Flusmates".

Sitting there, and reaching back to do a "Courtesy Flush" for the first time was a shock. I bet if a skinny person tried that, we'd find him floating in the treatment pond down at the sewer plant.

blasting through the jet at the bottom of the toilet launching whatever you left over the weir and out the drain
You aren't kidding. That's more of a detonator button than a flush button.

The last time I saw one of those things I think the girl told me to Rinse and Spit.

I still do not understand how you are supposed to lean over the hopper part when you want to wash your hands.

Ah maybe you sit on it like a bar stool and make like is the bar, but than that might confuse someone sitting at the bar and thinking it is the toilet.

If you could redirect some of the water in the Flushmate system you could create a quite exhilarating bidet, or if you connected a garden hose you could pressure wash your truck.
