Wtf how big is your water heater?
Doesn't this mean he left the shower?
Iβll test this for science.
First I have to find a wife.
Thats a solid plan. Start with a partner and then study Gaussian curves. God knows understanding Gauss first makes it harder to find a partner
I studied Gaussian curves and found a mistress
I git laid a month after I flipped through the first chapter of an introduction.
Coincidence? I think not
Already high. Got that down.
Tankless water heaters will go forever.
Yeah, all that hot water and then people will just take longer showers. Their job is really tankless.
Itβs more efficient tm
Never got any complaints *wink wink*
It's not the size of the water heater, it's the volume of water output.
Since shower water is a mixture of hot and cold, tank size, tank temperature, and cold water temperature are the predominant factors, at least initially.
For a given shower temperature, hot water consumption rate will increase at an exponential rate until tank temperature falls to shower temperature, then shower temperature will fall.
We were making sexual innuendos, not having a real conversation on water heater capabilities.
Anyway instantaneous (in-line) heaters exist, I've got a 35-year old one, never runs out of water, it doesn't have a tank.
Is this a home owner joke I'm too poor to get
