I find the cold water refreshing. That said, I've never tried a heated one.

Thanks for the support. Some people think the world is uniform and don't understand anything outside of their world view.

I run 1000 cows on a 60,000 acre ranch in southern Alberta. It's too rough to run a semi truck and trailer around on but I can haul a tri-axle Wilson gooseneck stock trailer with 20,000 lbs of cattle across it when I need to. There's no roads through the ranch other than dirt trails so it takes a long time to travel through it and the fewer trips I have to make the better. Generally I'm moving cattle on horseback but occasionally I have to move old/sick/injured cows from a to b. Simply put, your European farms are miniscule and you don't need the same capabilities that we do. The world is not uniform.

Recently bought a new diesel silverado 3500 for my ranch. It's enormous, I'm glad I didn't get the dually option as it's hard enough to drive in the city. Most of its job however is pulling trailers around.

That said, on highway if I drive the speed limit and take it easy I can get 9L/100km. It's unreal that such a huge truck will get almost the same economy as our KIA SUV.

I talked to a plumber and it's what he recommended. I decided to not to question someone with far more experience than me. Your solution would probably work too.

I ended up getting 2 hot water tanks and putting them in series. Endless hot water doing it that way. I've also plumbed it so that if one fails I can adjust a few valves and run on one tank until I can fix/replace the other.

I should note, I live 160km from the nearest city so I can't just call a guy out to fix things.

Every tankless I've used has been a piece of crap. Constantly breaking down. Heat surging and going cold in the shower. Outright just not heating water. All within 2 years of install. Never again. Tanks only for me from now on.

Where did it come from? Where did it go?

Get out of here with your reason. That's not what the internet is for. Now, would you like a torch or pitchfork?

I didn't. However, I read Lemmy until I run out of interesting posts, then switch to reddit until the ads make me angry. Then I do something productive.

Unless you're a farmer/rancher. Then it's a way of life.

The description is a bit off. Spensa was raised in caverns on an alien world and m-bot is (mild spoilers for skyward ahead) a ship's ai on a starfighter that crashed long ago on that world. He is hesitant to leave is position and fly/fight due to his previous owners last orders.

It's a great book and myself and my kids really enjoyed it, but I don't think it's the book OP is looking for.

Sync for reddit was a great 3rd party app for browsing reddit. Since 3rd party apps were ousted from reddit the dev repurposed his app for Lemmy. I've been using it today and so far it is fantastic. There are some ads, but at the moment it's the best Lemmy app on the market as far as UI goes imho.

Same here. Just seemed like the right choice.

The reasoning for it is that male chickens are near worthless. They fight and injure themselves and others. They don't taste very good and most people won't eat them therefore they aren't worth the feed to fatten them up for slaughter.

The solution is to kill them as quickly and humanely as possible. The shredder looks bad but they die instantly, no pain, no suffering. Their bodies are then used in products such as dog and cat food.

It's what happens with a small community. Interaction and discussion VS lowest common denominator humour for mass votes.

We all want Lemmy to succeed, but that only means that it'll turn back into reddit. It's the natural cycle of social media.

Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city 🤣. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There'll be downtime and hiccups, but I'm a patient man.
