#34 when notched, the disk could be written. single-sided disks only had a notch on one side. adding a notch on the opposite edge, made the disk writable at both sides.

5¼"disks came with stickers to cover up the notch to make them read/only again.

So the thing in not for write-protecting; quite the opposite actually.

Sibbie,

Second this. Notch = writable, no notch (stick some tape or the like over it), write protected. If you wanted to use the back side of a single sided disk you had to punch three holes in the plastic housing, the write protect notch and two that would line up with the hole that marked the start of the track. We usually made a cardboard model of a disk to guide the punches as it required a fair degree of precision.

Single-side floppies were far cheaper than dual side, but at least by the time I was on the scene the chances of a failure on the back side were very low. I would guess we lost more due to not being careful enough when punching the sync holes than were bad from the factory. (One jaw of your punch had to go inside the housing and the disk was easy to scratch.)

#2 is a holder for those little boxes of flimsy toilet paper that you used to see in public toilets

"Saw This In A Restroom Which Has Faucets And Drain Down Low And A Dryer"

Answer: "This setup prevents Muslims from having to lift our legs up dangerously high while trying to stick our feet in the sink one at a time. The alternative to that is we have to take a handful of water and pour it onto our feet below the sink causing the floor to get wet. Muslims also have to keep their feet clean before praying, which is obviously problematic in a bathroom where everyone pisses on the floor and walks with their shoes between the stalls and the sink, so you might see them trying to keep one shoe on while washing the other foot and then switching. It’s also why we take our shoes off before praying and use prayer rugs to avoid touching unclean things while praying."
