The genetic condition is the better analogy than cancer. Cancer develops you’re not born with it.

You’re getting on for European prices. UK here is about £2 per litre. After conversion from £ to USD and litres to US Gallon that’s about $10

The only change I’d make is distance
Is it a long distance > no > are you doing DIY > yes > cm, mm, inches > no ( what’s currently on the flow chart)

Because you end up with the mess us Brits have. And no one wants the mess we have.

Back in the day you’d just assume it was Photoshop. At least then someone would have put some effort in

Sounds like a legacy thing. The vast majority of houses now have combi boilers so no hot water tank. Hot water is on demand. Which would also be why separate taps have pretty much disappeared from UK homes since at least the 2010s.
Though I do think it’s very likely that a big chunk of it is as the other commenter said, an electricity thing.
With the price of gas what it is over here at the moment I’m rather glad my dishwasher is electrically heating as I can run it even on a dull day and my pannels will provide a good chunk of the power.

Is this an American thing? Dishwashers run off the cold water and heat it up themselves over here.

2k though? That’s not a small chunk of change. That would wipe out a lot of people’s savings.
- Comment on 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, an… 2 months ago:
Brits love to complain about the NHS, and rightly. After 14 years of right wing governments underfunding it it’s on it’s knees.
However if someone tried to replace it with an American style system we’d make the way the French protest look tame.
- Comment on I have no idea what range eggs are but they were free so I walked out of the store with them. 2 months ago:
When I was at uni one of my flatmates had speakers set up in the living room on a high book shelf in the living room. As a prank a few weeks before the Christmas we break we put an egg on top of one of them, assuming he’d take them home egg would and rotten egg would fall (we didn’t like him much at the time). He didn’t take them home for Christmas. Over the winter semester and spring we became friends with him. Egg meanwhile became forgotten.
Main summer break rolls around and everyone is packing up. Our now friend goes to get his speakers. Before anyone can say anything the egg is rolling off falling to the floor. Prank finally triggered. Everyone ready for the worst smell ever. But nothing. Over the months it had entirely dried up and had nothing inside but a little powder.

If we get to that point it might become commercially viable to build reactors the extract some more energy out of the fuel we’ve already used.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 2 months ago:
For electricity true. But lots more places can take advantage of ground source heat pumps as an energy efficient heating method.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 2 months ago:
I’d be willing to put money on the amount of deaths from fossil fuel power generation related accidents (mining coal isn’t exactly the safest job) is higher than the rest on its own. Even before the millions who’ve had their lives shortened by the pollution.
- Comment on Consider the following 2 months ago:
It’s just such a shame that so many “ergonomic” things are designed for right handed people, rather than being hand agnostic.

Of course it’s designed for right handed people

This seems like a pretty standard thing to have on a birthday cake in the UK and Aus.
- Comment on Salary information to be shown on job ads under new laws 3 months ago:
Great news. I hate when job ads say stuff like “competitive”. Plus it’s a guage for if the ad is way above or below your current level (as it can easily not be clear from the description)

Literally watched it when it first aired. Never watched another episode after even though it’s the kind of thing that should be my cup of tea and I hear so much good about it. Whenever I hear people talk about it I think I should try it again, then forget about it.
