Who said anything about "on" water? Is the Pixel 8 Pro waterproof... and does it work "under"-water?... 😛

None of y'all are plumbers and most of y'all work in IT and it fucking shows

You're not a plumber and you lack problem fixing skills and it fucking shows. 🙄

The photo shows:

• water is running, meaning: the faucet works, the pipe to the faucet works, the water is not shut off
• the faucet seems to be of a two valve kind, meaning: if the tenant is not an idiot and didn't turn on the wrong valve, and they did wait a reasonable time for hot water to come out, then the problem is not with the faucet but with the heater
• the faucet can not be the problem, meaning a plumber does not need to carry a spare faucet, but the pipes could be hooked up wrong (hot pipe to cold valve and vice versa), which could be and easy fox for the landlord themselves without having to pay a plumber

Probing questions would be only useful if the tenant spent some effort on answering them, instead of, for example:

is the water lukewarm or cold?

A: Yes.

what if the water isn't running?

A: There is no hot water.

This is not an IT ticket, it's a general problem solving procedure issue.

The faucet tends to have some sort of control apparatus (maybe a "valve", sometimes festooned by a "knob") to enable the user to interactively choose the amount of water from each pipe that goes into the faucet.

Now, such apparatus might be comprised of two valves, each one for hot and cold water separately, or a single control which may be rotated to select the mixture amount, or an automaic thermostatic apparatus with a target water temperature dial that the operating user may set to a target temperature which may be called "hot" or "cold" and will adjust the water mixture from the hot and cold water pipes accordingly.

OP's picture seems to have been sent in bad faith, but it does include a control apparatus comprised of a valve with a knob, which can be construed as the tenant showing they had done their due diligence in discovering it is by turning the pertaining knob to open the hot water pipe valve, and nothing else, that after a reasonable waiting period, the water coming out of the faucet is indeed still cold and not hot as intended by the expected behavior of the installed mechanism.

If the tenant misled the landlord by showing a tap which had only a single cold water pipe connection, or failed to correctly operate the valves connected to the faucet in order to produce the desired hot water, then the landlord could fairly charge them with any delays or extra charges incurred from being provided with false information, like the cost of sending a plumber to check on the heater... instead of a dog with a stick to bonk the tenant for being an idiot and not turning the right valve to the faucet.

corporations are soulless money making machines

The worst part: Corporations are run by people, people hired to do a job, people who can say "fuck no, I'm not doing this evil thing for a couple bucks of a raise"... but eventually some people get hired who will do that evil thing, even with no raise.

Remember Google's "don't be evil"? Eventually they hired enough people who don't care, that they could remove the slogan.

Look at this rich kid wasting water, where did they raise you, on Naboo?

Of course they can; someone on the right has always been right and could never admit to not being right.

Some more countries use FPTP to decide part of their representatives, just not for all of them.

Then again, some countries are also democratic monarchies, with different heir picking rules.

He's now.

I live in a city area next to the end of where it got developed, there are several "colonies" of abandoned cats nearby. My mom used to take care of them, we ended up with 16 cats at home just from "emaciated rescues" that we managed to bring back to health (not all made it) and didn't manage to place somewhere else, about 20+ in a couple nearby colonies, some 40+ in some farther away ones... all the time working with a "capture, spay, release" program... and I got livid when she sent me a photo with 5 kittens in a box someone had left next to a dumpster, asking if she should take them home.

If you wanted kittens, I could find you so many kittens, that you wouldn't have the time to make videos of all of them.

What you really should be asking though, is: what did they do with the grown up cats?

A well fed and cared for house cat, can live 10-15 years. Where did those YouTubers put all those kittens, for the next 10+ years?

I'll have some of the one for 0000.

Well... who knows. He was held for 8 months in somewhat of a quantum flux prison.

According to the same DailyMirror article:

• Jun 23, 2021 (Google link) - Spanish prison where John McAfee was found dead 'is like the Hilton'
• 24 Jun 2021 (In-article title) - Prison in Spain where John McAfee was found dead in apparent suicide serves 'stale bread and cold hot dogs', has two bunk beds per cell and two inmates killed themselves in May

...so who knows. Maybe he even committed suicide and was assassinated at the same time! /s

Was. He took his life when caught.

One of the biggest tragedies of the Internet: you can't delete stuff you want deleted, only stuff you expected to stay around, keeps getting deleted.

From watching some of the "forbidden channels" like AlJazeera, the attacks of US bases in Iraq by allegedly Irani drones/missiles, has been a headline for some days already.

The way the legal world of war works... it's "whatever we say it is".

If it weren't at depth, it wouldn't have imploded, so it's quite certain they became toothpaste before feeling a thing.

= 10 × 3 + 7 × 3

Careful, that's how you get a Facebook thread with people claiming 51 = 111... /s

Just to make extra sure it isn't eugenics, have everyone asking for assisted suicide, provide proof of having reproduced, or get enrolled into forced reproduction first... /s

I guess different countries, but that sounds more reasonable. We had to take a flash loan, when they saw my father was about the same age, they tried to upsell him to a $6K funeral insurance plan... imagine that: "so we see your wife just died, have you thought about dying yourself? Get a 40% rebate now!"

Or maybe I've met too many people who care too much about what I think 🤷
