Do you have a reference for the heter for electric flush toilets? .. Heard from RS Miller multiple times. and see pg 2 here [ https://www.bikurcholim.ca//wp-content/uploads/2019/09/shabbos_reference_guide_5781_pages.pdf ]( https://www.bikurcholim.ca//wp-content/uploads/2019/09/shabbos_reference_guide_5781_pages.pdf ) and its pashut (once you have the hanacha that we in NA are not choshaish for the CI on electricity)

Found the following on ChatGPT (AI) in seconds. Can't vouch for its accuracy. But worthy of note: Halachic Perspectives 1.

I was asked twice this past week and didn't know the answer. Does anyone have knowledge and, preferably a reference, as to when kiddushin and nisuin were consolidated? -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

May (one should) lchatchila build a below grade pump toilet knowing that itwill be used on Shabbat?... the poskim are matir to use electric flush toilets bc of kavod habrius (hospitals, etc) this should be the same. (electric use is only d'rabbanon. ignoring CI) therefore it can be built. then on shabbos.. if its needed […]
The Rambam writes in 3 places in the Perush Hamishnayos (Sanhedrin 10,3, Sotah 3,3, Shavuos 4,1) and in the Sefer Hamitzvos lo taaseh 133 that there is no psak on hashkafa which is not relevant to Halacha. Here is a quote from one of the Rambam's (Sotah 3,3 the language is almost the same in […]
