Jokes on you, I don’t poop. I just use toilet paper to blow my nose.


Just use an ad blocker.
Not a plumber but I do have some experience with plumbing. This issue tends to happen with older plumbing methods where you run one main trunk pipe that you then branch into every fixture. Basically turning on the hot water farther up that trunk from the shower can cause a large pressure drop in the hot water supply at the shower. Basically the closer a fixture is to the source of the hot water, the more priority it has for the hot water supply. Also undersized piping can also make the issue much worse.
The problem can be mitigated in a few ways. By using low flow aerators on your sinks, you limit the maximum flow rate of water out of the sink and thus cause a smaller pressure drop when you turn the sink on. Having the shower be the first fixture along that plumbing trunk can also ensure that it gets priority for hot water. Also just increasing pipe sizing throught the system can help.
Newer style systems where you have a central manifold that immediately branches off to each room or fixture mitigate the issue because all of the fixtures share the water pressure more evenly. I’ve also seen some more expensive newer houses just have the bathroom fed by a seperate tankless water heater which eliminates the issue entirely because then it has it’s own dedicated hot water supply.

I’d rather be first than than anything after that. Because after one or maybe two, he’s going to be forcing it and it gets much more risky.
All at once?
I was actually tier 3 support. I just also happened to be the sole support for one specific area which meant even low level tickets from there got automatically directed to me.
Earlier hyperbole aside, I honestly fuckin love my job now. If I didn’t rely on having an income, I would still be doing this for free. But working a desk job drove me nuts. I’m sure it’s great for a lot of people but I just can’t do it.
The trades can attract fairly diverse people because you don’t have to fit into an office. Generally you’re just given your work and you’re expected to do it. Welders especially can easily be specialized enough that they can’t really be micromanaged.
As a current tradesman who is regularly burned, electrocuted, and cut on the job while rolling around in filthy crawl spaces, dragging 100 lb of gear up a ladder onto scorching rooftops, or freezing inside walk in deep freezers… working an IT desk job was way worse.
I would sooner stick my tongue in a 480V panel than have to go back to answering “printer don’t work” tickets.


If microbes are the concern then A UV system is going to be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The UV bulbs in those are usually rated for 1 year of continuous use and if you only run it when there is a boil warning then it’ll last much longer than that. It looks like one of those will run you right about $100 which pays for itself pretty quick when compared to the cost of the more expensive filters.


Really? I just get an immediate login wall on mobile.


From what I’ve heard, it’s less that the actual employer cares and more the the employer gets a discount on their insurance rates if they drug test employees.
My actual mortgage payment is probably just under $500. Taxes and insurance just put it at about $1000. I bought a nearly crack den quality fixer upper about 6 years ago in a moderately low COL area. In the truely low COL areas I imagine you might still be able to manage the same pricing today. It’s probably doable, just not anywhere most people want to live or with a house that doesn’t have a bunch of issues.


It’s only regularly spoken by a minority but most can and will break it out on ocassion. It’s always fun to do on vacation.


Well, I live on the Minnesota side of the Minnesota / Wisconsin border and normally I can tell I crossed the border because I have to cross the 4th largest river in the world, the Mississippi river.
Joking aside a big tell used to be frac sand mines. Minnesota cracked down on them much harder much more quickly than Wisconsin so you would see them all over the place in Wisconsin but not in MN. I haven’t seen as many of those lately though. Also If I drive too far south I wind up driving out of the Kwik Trip gas station zone and into the vastly inferior Caseys gas station zone in Iowa.


Same ish. I’m pretty sure I was the mythical 8 the night I decided to eat most of a dominos meat lovers pizza as my first meal after getting home from getting my gallbladder removed. I stayed a 7 on and off for most of a year until my body got used to not having a bile sac anymore. But now I am once again rocking an even split between 3 and 4.
Does age make you give worse blowjobs?
