16 would be 👍 (going by the mapping in this post, or the pinky if you do thumb = 1).

4 is 4 either way.

Don't forget 4.

Indeed.

I guess you could also use an oversized heat pump in theory. With a setup like this, recirculation and/or wastewater heat recuperation would also need to be looked into. Either would significantly reduce the cost of running this.

But purely resistive heating without any form of recuperation would need impractical amounts of power.

Water typically comes in at around 15 degree Celsius, so it needs to be heated by around 25 degrees to feel warm.

A regular high flow shower head flows up to 20 liters per minute (that's 5.3 gpm in American). That's 500 kcal/min of energy that needs to be added, which is 35 kW, or a total of almost 150A at 240V.

Oof. "Subtly" threatening allies that the refugees they accepted (usually with very generous arrangements to make it easier to get in) might become a threat unless Ukraine receives continuing support doesn't sound like a smart move.

Are there schools that don't teach calculator usage? Even 10-15 years ago German schools (at least in the states I looked at) had the option to teach math with either basic calculators, scientific calculators, or computer algebra systems in grades 9-13 (I think) with most schools picking scientific calculators even back then. I would expect that to have moved into earlier grades and more advanced devices nowadays.

If they try to use a blender (the kitchen appliance), I'm sure it will also become interesting.

How does a) pissing off your employees b) making sure they talk to each other in person impeding unionization?

For those who don't know who that is, from Wikipedia:

Michael James Lindell, also known as the My Pillow Guy, is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc., a pillow, bedding, and slipper manufacturing company.

Lindell is a prominent supporter of, and advisor to, former U.S. President Donald Trump. After Trump's defeat in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Lindell played a significant role in supporting and financing Trump's attempts to overturn the election result; he spread disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud in that election. He has also been an active promoter of unproven medical treatments.

It works on Windows, no idea how other distros behave but judging by all the issues people were reporting, even if this specific issue doesn't happen on other distros, you'll get bitten by something else.

It's less than 3 years old. If it was any newer the argument would be "you can't expect such new hardware to be supported".

My embedded AMD GPU has been unusable under Ubuntu. Constant crashes/freezes. When trying to find a workaround (unsuccessfully), I found lots of other people with slight variations of the same problem - same symptoms, but different root causes... seems like at any time there are several system-breaking bugs and every time one is removed another is introduced. You just have to hope your kernel happens to be one that happens to work with your specific config.

My next platform will be Intel-based.
