The National Hotel, Jamestown, California. A Saloon from 1859 that has seen the gold rush come and go. The beer is Sierra Nevada.

The handrail support closest to the pint glass doesn't cover the join in the handrail.

Two buttons to open the doors, but none to close them !

Maybe the lift has two sets of doors! I've seen two separate open buttons on such lifts.

Surely just selecting a floor closes the doors? I don't use lifts much, but I don't recall ever having to press a button to close the doors.

It’s just to speed up the process. Once someone gets out you have to wait xxx seconds for door to close. If you know no one else wants to get in, you can press and doors close immediately and be on your way. If you visit a high rise with lift stopping every other floor it speeds things up a lot.

But why two buttons to open the doors?

Perhaps the tool that stamps the holes in the back plate always stamps two holes, and they ran out of blanking plates?

I seem to remember that, in a major jurisdiction (the US?), the regulations mean that lift doors need to be open for at least X seconds. Therefore, the "close door" buttons do nothing. However, the lift manufacturers leave them there because people want to believe that they are able to control the doors and get them to close quicker.

I have also read that.

Went to grab an egg to help out, after the mrs had thrown one on the floor (part of the process of baking a cake). Their brains really do work in a different way.

I've never come across this creative step before - when does it happen?

Getting back on topic? That's a whisk - the result may be a white old mess.

Me neither. Apparently it happens when you put the egg on the counter top and it rolls off.

I stayed in a 30-ish floor hotel in Hong Kong where if you held the Close Door button, it would skip all the other floors and just keep going down to the lobby (unless you let go of it and then it would start stopping again). I think it was meant as a way to signal to the lift control gear "look we're full, stop wasting time stopping where nobody else can get in this lift and get us to the lobby so you can go back and get the others quicker". But obvs was open to some abuse

Anyway here is a non-lift picture. Power cables at a festival. Someone took a short cut

I now declare it open season for egg-related jjokes. Have to be on topic though!

I was away for a while, so while I laid the way for all the egg jokes I never got the chance to crack any.

To be fair, we don't need any more. Just one is un oueuf!
