Either that or they try to take advantage and loot.

Can we not have clickbait titles on the Fediverse?

The problem is that they can’t tell who is who, nobody wants the extra hassle of extra security, and in the end the companies have to deal with the fallout (customers asking for account recovery, compromised accounts being abused, …).

“Apparently, providing my login credentials doesn’t prove that the account belongs to me” given how bad people are with password reuse, phishing etc. - no it doesn’t, unfortunately.

16 would be 👍 (going by the mapping in this post, or the pinky if you do thumb = 1).

4 is 4 either way.

Don’t forget 4.

Indeed.

I guess you could also use an oversized heat pump in theory. With a setup like this, recirculation and/or wastewater heat recuperation would also need to be looked into. Either would significantly reduce the cost of running this.

But purely resistive heating without any form of recuperation would need impractical amounts of power.

Water typically comes in at around 15 degree Celsius, so it needs to be heated by around 25 degrees to feel warm.

A regular high flow shower head flows up to 20 liters per minute (that’s 5.3 gpm in American). That’s 500 kcal/min of energy that needs to be added, which is 35 kW, or a total of almost 150A at 240V.

The logistics and cost of that does NOT sound fun. I’m pretty sure it would make the airport neighborhood look like a slum, based on the money needed.

Are there schools that don’t teach calculator usage? Even 10-15 years ago German schools (at least in the states I looked at) had the option to teach math with either basic calculators, scientific calculators, or computer algebra systems in grades 9-13 (I think) with most schools picking scientific calculators even back then. I would expect that to have moved into earlier grades and more advanced devices nowadays.

If they try to use a blender (the kitchen appliance), I’m sure it will also become interesting.

And this is why kids should grow up with increasingly restrictive parental control software. It’s educational.
