Most toilet papers are fine, although some systems struggle with Costco's stuff. Toilet paper is designed to break apart in water. That said, you shouldn't flush any other products. Paper towels don't break down the same way, and wipes will almost certainly cause damage, even if they are marketed as flushable!!

Math using janky excel spreadsheets, tell drafters what we want drawings to look like, but mostly a lot of reading and writing. The secret to engineering (at least in my area) is that communication skills are just as important as technical understanding.

You gotta flush the tap for a bit. When water is stagnant in your pipes overnight contaminants can leach into it (including lead if you have lead pipes or lead in your fixtures).
