If you have a consistent schedule, you can also use timers for those so you don’t always need to remember to run it.

Most houses in the US have a single water heater, usually in the basement or utility room, with pipes running all through the house.

I thought a hot water circulator would be great, and it kind of is, but it comes with a drawback that I hadn’t considered. If you want cold water from the tap, to fill a glass of water at night for example, you have to wait for that just as long as you would have had to for the hot water before!

So you’re ok using more water to clean your dishes? On what basis do you declare dishwashers to be environmentally unfriendly?

This is a really fun hallucination, would you care to share your personal drug cocktail?

He is saying that, or more accurately saying “he never heard of it happening”, which I guess is enough to assume it doesn’t!

Remind me who ran against Xi in his very democratic last election?

You said “the working class is in control of the state”, and I was looking for some argument to support that. I think Xi is in charge of the state, and I don’t think the working class gets much say in that.

OK but you said public ownership as a part of how “the working class” is in control of the state, and this sounds like not that.

What does “public ownership” mean? They’re not paying dividends to every Chinese citizen, right? I assume you mean “the state”, in which case I’m not seeing your point.

I’m sorry, the working class is in control of the state? I’d love to hear something to back up such a strong statement.

Banning social media put people in the street. It was the murder of protesters that lit the torch.

Commutes of 2 hours are unfortunately common in the DC Metro area. It’s too expensive to live near the good jobs…

Sexualizing women does not “typically lead to being an incel”, that’s just crazy. Blaming women for failure to succeed in finding a sexual partner is what leads to that.

It’s not inherently bad to see people in a sexual light, what matters is when and how you act on those feelings, and respecting that people are also more than sexual objects.

He said, frantically struggling to have the last word…

Oh so you googled it now? Back down from having heard of people doing it?

Spoiler alert, hasn’t happened! And you haven’t heard of anybody for whom it has! So I stand by my statement.

It’s theoretical nonsense, and credit scores are not the same as creditors, but keep talking nonsense about this “one weird trick” you heard on Facebook!

Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?

“You’ve heard of people”. No, you haven’t.
