glass shower doors, particularly modern frameless and semi-frameless, are nice and easy to clean

whoever invented these can go to hell though:


designer: "what if a shower door that didn't keep the water in, cold air out or do anything that a shower door is supposed to do?"
architect: "brilliant! we'll take 1000 for our new hotel!"

I'm absolutely forced to assume that it's a sex thing

My current shower takes up an end of the bathroom and has a weird double showerhead setup, one on each opposing wall that I assume is a sex thing. Suck and gently caress without the taller person hogging the water.

My new shower has a seat in it.

I never thought I wanted a seat in a shower, but now I can't imagine showering without a seat. All these years I've been standing while showering like a chump.

Too rich for my blood, I never turn the second one on. We don’t really get droughts here but it still seems kinda wasteful.

nope. they're both water sparing, plus i turn the water way down since i think showers are pretty wasteful anyway. it uses very little water

although it's sort of moot, we'll never run out of water here and it's not like it disappears, although it is a waste of energy in the processing

Like a tenth.

I Googled it and it said 25 gallons - whatever that is - for a shower and 70 gallons for a bath, but then I noticed it said "for a 10-minute shower". A shower shouldn't last more than three minutes unless you're very dirty.

yeah unless i'm really sore i tend to take very quick showers but my so absolutely does not

i can't believe i have to explain this but i was never making the point that baths are a better option but that a lot of people spend a gently caress load of time in the shower

ah i had one of those gas powered flash heaters in the wall.

it would only turn on when there was enough flow through the hot water line, but the shower had a pressure balancing knob. so you'd turn it up gradually and it would stay ice cold, and then at about 60% there'd be enough hot water flow and the heater would kick on, but because it was a gas heater 60% was way too much and it would quickly become scalding hot. but turn it below that point and the heater would turn off again and back to ice cold.

for the first month or so i would cycle the knob back and forth every 20 seconds, listening to the heater turning on and off, and trying to shower as it warmed up and cooled down. later i discovered that if i pointed the showerhead up as high as it would go, the water would arc through the air (it had good pressure at least) and cool down by the time it landed and i could hunker in the back corner in what felt like a light rain and it was a good temperature. but that also meant the water was constantly cascading down the aforementioned electric outlet.

i realize i probably could have tried to adjust the gas heater but nothing about the above situation made me feel like that was a good idea.

yes mine is like that too but even though it’s gas you need to plug it in to an electrical outlet.

you gotta play with all the knobs and settings to actually get a reasonable flow of good temp water on the cheap ones yeah. they make some that are much better but your landlord probably bought a $30 special

woah. how’d it get magnetized in the first place? never heard of that happening to a camera before.

I might be getting too lazy with the terminology but it was a wire-wound little U-shaped piece of metal that the camera uses (I think to check fstop in automatic aperture lenses maybe?) and there was an issue in the camera where if you left it on standby for a long time it would eventually magnetize the metal and the sensor would stop working

i pulled my camera out of a box after not using it for a few months (with the switch in the on position) and it could only take pictures with the aperture all-the-way contracted until I took a very small piece out and sanded it a lil. Now it works great!
