Same with Austria. As a Dane living in Austria, it feels like nobody here has even half-decent English skills. It’s horrible, and I blame generations of dubbed TV and movies.

Thank you Flax, this was a very useful explanation! I will look into it and figure whether I can install it in a suitable place in my bathroom.

Seems to me though that the Israelis only have themselves to blaim though.

I don’t fully understand how this works. The pump and valve are used to circulate hot water though the hot pipe and back through the cold pipe.

But… doesn’t that mean you never have cold water? Because the cold pipe is by definition also hot now?

It seems as if this just shifts the problem from “wasting hot” to “wasting cold” to get the water you want.

That would have been nice, but our plumbing doesn’t allow it. We would have to put in return pipes and that means tearing up the walls. Hard no, sadly.

I have solar water panels on my roof so hot water costs nothing except just the water. Having the machine warm up cold water would cost electrical power. Glad to see this confirmed so I don’t feel as nerdy about it.

Amazing how there really is an XKXD for everything 😘👌

Readability would be much improved by removing the decimals.

I like the color scale - is it bad because of color blindness, or is there another reason?

I like this new guy and his username.

Very high on my list is the anti-religion rant in Mr Robot, spoken by the protagonist Elliot.

“[…] All religions are just metastasizing mind worms […] If I don’t listen to my imaginary friend, why should I listen to yours? […]”

How does one “find their scent”? Just the thought of going to the perfume aisle makes me nauseous… And I can’t tell one from the other anyway.

What product is it?

What does that do?

For me it wasnt the police station but the traffic helicopter saying something half-unintelligible. My brother and I refer to it frequently as “yadda yadda reporting heavy traffic”

Username checks out.

I’m burnt out trying to go the standard mile, even. Because corpo now expects everyone to fill in for the two others that left, so we’re all on triple workload. Forget about any extra miles.

This actually made the national news because the parents insisted on the name, arguing that it’s valid with “ff” and “ph” is the same so “phph” must be allowed. Poor boy.

They, you mean the consumers, right?

Deep cut: employees are creatures too.
