Alright Vegemite!

In seriousness, it’s often about water pressure and how your hot water is fed. If you have very high water pressure normally but a solar hot water system where gravity and input pressure play a role, you’ll naturally have an imbalance on hot and cold. When you turn the handle on the shower you’re lining up two holes in the shower cartridge (in the handle) with the two hot and cold water pipes, the resulting mix comes out a third hole which feeds the shower head. As you turn the handle, one hole opening gets smaller and the other bigger- thereby changing the ratio of hot : cold. When you already have a huge pressure of cold water pumping in, the degree of rotation needed to go from warm/almost just right to PURE HOT WATER is minuscule. Usually the cold will stay pretty cold for about half of the handle range of motion too.

If water input pressure being high is a problem you can put a reducing valve on your system overall or you can buy Venturi style pumps which add pressure into your hot water system.

You’ll normally find when it’s pressure imbalance that it’s easier to balance the temp when the tap isn’t open full bore. But who wants a weak-ass shower stream!!

In fact he name checked Pontius Pilates which made it a little more realistic. Still too deep a reference for the philistine.

PEBKAC is as PEBKAC does.

Have we got Devon Rex cross (maybe sphinx) here? Very interesting looks! 10/10 would pat, may also bleed. I’m ok with that.

Think your scale is off. That’s an apple!

And what happened after you were asked to leave?

We pretty much went straight home.

Mrs Simpson, let me remind you, you are under oath.

We drove around all night looking for another all you can eat fish buffet.

And when you couldn’t find one…?

We went fishing.

His reasoning was that a country after a disaster needs its economy to stabilise as rapidly as possible. Yes, he gets a good deal, but he’s also going at a time when local businesses need to trade, people need life to return to normal (as much as possible). Recovering from a tragedy can be helped by the show of faith and confidence of visitors who still want to experience your homeland and all it has to offer. That solidarity is the same concept Princess Diana displayed in her physical embracing of the AIDS community in a time of fear, ignorance, misinformation, and sadness. My take is that reaching out at a time when people feel alone and unwanted is always a kind gesture.

Not doing enough to keep it safe (from invasion). Here, we’re going to annexe Greenland to prove our point.

I can’t comprehend how this can in any way be construed as confusing… or unexpected, surprising, or unanticipated. The discourse vacuum is being filled by right wing misogynists.

Literally just be a vocal presence and the left will increase their ability to be recognised by 1,000%. If 10% of that results in a leftward political shift in the demographic - that will change lives.

Every 13 cells could be summing the total of multiple years of data. Eg 12 month + 1 total, rinse and repeat. Then summing just the total cells for each year. 💁

There’s your answer fish-bulb.

Lil Bobby… there really is an xkcd for everything!

Which is why the puppet master is having his marionette lift US sanctions on Russia.

ShittyMorph called and said “read the room”; also - “get your own shtick”.

I hate to say it, but maybe we should acknowledge the elephant in the room… and ask them how they’d wear it.

Techsmith - Snagit can do this (partially)Paid app, but has the feature to remove a strip of an image. No idea what the latest version does. The version I remember was years ago. Presumably has been enhanced since then…

Oh, I was just taking a breath - I hadn’t finished…)
