I’ve switched from similiar-sized apartment with a tank heater to a house with a tankless heater. My bills are close enough that it isn’t super easy to tell. total it was about 20-40 more a month for the location switch.

The real difference is how often you use it. You’ll save money if you use it sparingly (as opposed to an always on tank heater), but you’ll definitely spend more if you don’t (because infinite hot water access!). Just make sure it and it’s power source is sized for the house it’s going into.

You’ll definitely want to pay for an electrician to get it on a dedicated circuit to power it. Otherwise you’ll just get infinite tepid water instead.

gotta be specific, but my tankless water heater has actually been pretty okay actually.

Context! I live in Texas, which actually has some pretty great renewable use compared to other states. My personal plan isn’t solely wind powered anymore, but it has been in the past, and still partially is right now.

My house is a super cheap remodel. The tankless water heater is completely electric.

My repair costs have been as follows: complete replacement of the heater cores: 70$.

• two out of three failed over the course of a year and a half.
• I also paid for the plumber to figure out what the issue was, but i’ll be able to replace them on my own pretty easily whenever this happens again

I also paid plumber and electrician costs to move the water heater so i could actually get at them without pulling the whole thing off the wall (thanks shitty remodel!)

$200 for the plumber to run the cleaner through it, since i have super hard water here

• and another half grand to install the valves required to actually be able to do that (thanks shitty remodel!)
• I’ll be able to get my own cleaning kit for one to two hundred online in the future.

So like, because i’m new at taking care of one, and because of the shitty remodel, I have paid over a gran in ‘repairs’ on the thing. But, at the same time, the next time it needs replaced heater cores, or to get it’s annual cleaning, it’ll cost me basically nothing.

Energy costs haven’t been much more expensive than a tanked water heater either, but it’s hard to compare considering those tank water heaters also ran in a different location with different AC needs. And I take super long showers, which I was straight up unable to do before moving here. I don’t pay too much more than previously despite that though.

Most importantly! I can take hour long showers without running out of hot water, and being honest, that’s really the biggest deal for me. I don’t always do that, but sometimes I just wanna relax for a while and running out of hot water is a bitch when I do.

I’d honestly recommend a modern tankless water heater, so long as your electric can handle a load specifically sized to your house, even despite the problems i’ve had surrounding my own.

I suspect that the usual alcohol/weed choices don’t actually change anything. They just deaden our ability to care as much about not messing up and whatever the current sensory shit is doing. So, less autism, but only because it’s less of our experience as a whole.

One accusation from her abusive family, as an excuse for not taking proper care of her, does not make for a credible diagnosis or reason to post this here.

My dns config options always have at least two spots. Obviously, this means I need two piholes to fill them both up.

More seriously, it has actually saved my network from going down a couple times already.

The joke is that the OP grabbed pictures of old people with one superficial trait that matches the original characters. Two if they’re feeling lucky. Curly hair, a bandanda, effiminate hair (with miss-matched genders), a famous white dude with a vaguely similiar frown.

The blatant everything disparity is the whole joke.

Ah, I think there’s a bit of a disagreement here between what types of art are respectable and what types aren’t. For context, I subscribe to the definition of art that says “everything made with intent” is some form or other of art.

Suppose you go to a gallery. Would you consider handicap-hostile architecture, which is part of the exhibit itself, to be worth respecting as a art enthusiast? (Stairs required to be used in order to see a painting, specifically because the artist wants you tired from walking, not pushing a wheelchair, which they don’t like, when you look at it, for example.)

I could see it both ways, but I fall more on the side of accessibility. If an artist requires someone to use stairs to see their art, they are an asshole, regardless of how good their paintings actually are.

My 2019 Toyota corolla can go 120mph. My statement wasn’t about capabilities, it was about the sheer stupidity of driving those speeds at basically anywhere not set aside for it.

120kph is about 75 mph. So for this meme, 240 kph or so. Very much a speed you don’t want to be going anywhere near a city, or a highway with a curve in it in the next five miles.

Honestly, yeah. Bazxite looks neat, but it’s new and I’m still not sure what the point of it is, beyond a little bit of nerdy software management features.

Ubuntu is … gestures vagely … Ubuntu. Regular debian doesn’t really work well for steam related activities, and I haven’t actually tried fedora in ages but it looks to be doing okay at least.

It’s just, mint is so basic, but that’s honestly its greatest selling point. I love having good fundamental be the main selling point.

Defaulting to nano without explicit user consent will be considered a class c user experience violation

One step forward, two steps back. I always hate how politicians can be so accommodating of the popular minority while still being so discriminatory against the less popular ones.

I’ll give you ‘satire’. But I don’t really agree with ‘critiques’. The lesson i got from the movie was “stupid people can’t really have empathy, so they just need to shut up and let actual smart people do the important work”, and also eugenics.

If it was critiquing the modern corporate structure, it would have included actual critiques of the modern corporate structure, rather than a single poor idiot in charge of a big company who should have just let the smart guy fix it all for him. In short, comapnies as they are would’ve worked if only the smart people were in charge of them.

The other part is that they depicted the corporations as completely innocent idiots too; “the computer said the money went away so I had to fire people and now they’re all rioting in the streets!” As if the company wasn’t at fault for all of that.

I had thought that another part of it was the levels of harm compared to the problem; getting pregnant is incredibly stressful and possibly harmful, up to and including death as a possibility. A medicine that can stop that but has side affects that are less harmful than pregnancy is a lot more palatable. Whereas, for men, the harm caused by pregnancy is zero, so any harm caused by the pill is weighed a lot heavier.

F*CK

This guy clearly doesn’t actually fuck.

Nah that just does the drum loop for ten hours.

It’s not completely out yet. That was likely AWS being down.

Also, the new quantum protected message encryption headers are about 2kb. If that’s causing issues with your internet, you may want to consider looking at new internet.

we always use this laptop for our taxes, so TurboTax. Disk-wise

Independent of your experiements with Linux, it may be a good idea to switch away from turbotax. They’ve been lobbying to make filing taxes harder for the past 20 years.

More relevant to the Linux discussion at hand, they’re locked into a specific operating system, whereas the alternatives are much more modern and work just fine in a regular web browser. I’ve had good success across three states with freetaxusa, personally.

Not for me, that was painful to hear.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.

Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.
