this is valid for a lot of folks I guess. The tea drinkers here all like pgtips. filthy casuals lol

I can’t imagine

yeah I get that about you. good luck tho

yeah I think the thermodynamics of piping actually boiling water are complex and kinda dangerous (sputtering out the spout for example) - so 95c is where it ends up as it’s pumped out of the spout. if the tea lovers in this house (there are many) care they don’t seem to mind the loss of heat for the convinience of it.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT $1500 euro for that thing, and UP?

it better dispense boiling holy water for that money

assloads of cost for installation

I installed it myself, the instructions were pretty straight forward, the piping all flexible (no braised copper). and I’m not really that handy.

wasted energy: this is something I’ve thought about; it generally cycles after dispensing, but sometimes you’ll hear it heating; I could put it on a timer so it’s not warming water in the middle of the night I guess…

but it’s reservoir is insulated, so it’s not the energy waste you’d think, especially compared to stove heating water / multiple kettles per day.

good luck!

not having to buy a new kettle every few years for one :D

fewer fights about who’s putting the kettle on lol

I live in a house with 4 other tea drinkers; our instant hot water tap has paid for itself 20x over lol

ours gets water from the filter setup under the sink; scaling hasn’t been an issue. also we live in a city with remarkably good tap water compared to many of the shitholes I’ve lived in so…

I don’t drink a lot of coffee but when I do it’s beans- grinder- french press - into the thermos / mug. probably very banal compared to people who really appreciate coffee.

I have an instant hot water tap that dispenses boiling water. I don’t understand why it’s not more popular with tea drinkers…

you mean an instant hot water tap? I wonder about why more tea drinkers aren’t into it but suspect it’s easier in places with larger kitchens as they do take up an outlet and room under the sink.

My wife is a tea lover. Years ago I got her a hot water tap, it changed her life. Is there a reason tea loving countries don’t embrace them?

they also want skilled labor; they are happy to have it scrape from authors and artists - primarily the same groups who the ruling class despise.

jackass hand of god amen

I’d imagine the hand’s interaction would tell people a lot too.

like, if it just flicked your head off your shoulders, or grabbed you by the foot and took you 400 feet up and dropped you, or whether it splatted you like a fly…

keeping them stacked up is smart, reduces cleanup

seems like a boon to swatters and the shitbags of the world… sure, privacy minded people, ICE trackers etc., yeah, but also… the shitbags…

Cool™Cool™Cool™

U and I are right next to eachother…

we may be ideologically aligned, I dunno…

I may have misread but I thought they were going both directions: arm chips that could execute x86 stuff via proton, and, x86 (whatever amd solution ends up in the machine) reading the APK side.
