Maybe roommates?

It’s totally fine if you have a good seasoning on there. The soap thing is largely a myth. I wash mine with soap every time I use it and it’s still slick as ever

I definitely thought those were carrots. That certainly changes things

Maybe need to get induction instead of radiant? Induction is much more efficient.

How is it punishing customers? The rest of the article suggests it may improve things

“It speeds up the process at entry and speeds up the process at the checkout,” he said. “That’s what we believe and we’re going to pilot it.”

Insurance and property taxes are factored into the monthly payment, though it’s not obvious from the meme

Really exciting development for the climate change mitigation toolkit. Let’s hope it’s not too challenging or costly to scale up and deploy.

The recovery time, aka first hour rating, should be in the specs for the models to find one that suits your needs. There’s more detailed research on them available as well if you’re so inclined.

You can, but not as a heat pump so you wouldn’t get all the efficiency gains and it will very often end up being more expensive to run than gas tankless in the near term.

I agree lawns are dumb but from an environmental perspective they can be net carbon sinks, which I found surprising. Though they are still bad for other environmental reasons.

Some are parasitic, most are saprophytic (decomposers/recyclers), others are symbiotic and exchange nutrients with trees

Geo heat pump install is indeed very high. But air source heat pumps (both heat pump water heaters and heat pumps for heating/cooling) don’t have that issue and have similar performance, except in extreme climates where geo outperforms.

Yeah, those are all good points and certainly factor in. There are objective studies about human comfort preferences used for building design. I expect OPs question is a roundabout way to ultimately ask about comfort preferences.

I do 80F during the day and 78F at night in the pacific northwest US. It usually gets cold enough at night that opening windows will cool my house to the low 70s overnight. In the winter I have it set to 68F. I use ceiling fans and appropriate clothing to stay comfortable within those parameters.

I can see why you would think that happens, but it either doesn’t happen, or it does and the shit water gets washed away by the continuous spray of clean water just like taking a shower.

I actually don’t mind it, especially in the summer. You can get heated ones that cost more. Maybe my anus isn’t that temperature sensitive?

How does getting in the shower save time over the 10 seconds it takes to spray your bhole?

A bidet. You can install it yourself in 20 minutes and enjoy a lifetime of cleaner buttholes and save on tp.

I can’t wait to switch mine to induction as well. I always run the fume hood with gas but it still feels like it’s not capturing most of the fumes
