I enjoy my under sink instant hot water heater.
It can produce 14 liters of water at 70 to 100°C per hour.
I never need to boil water really on the stove, fill a pot and let it boil for like spaghetti. But for like instant raman noodles, just adding the water in a bowl with it works perfectly fine.
I live in America and they aren’t the most common thing installed in kitchens
Is there an advantage of a kettle over instant 100°C water on tap? Couldn’t you just use it to make tea?
Imagine it like a car steering wheel.
You’d say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.
Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.
You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma
Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.
It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.
When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.
If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.
Plasma “donation” is a good thing.

You ask Chat GPT a question it is going to answer it becomes that’s what it has been programed to do. Input question, output answer.
Now if Chat GPT could be like “Nah I’m not going to answer that because I don’t feel like it”
Yes “AI” can be programed to not answer certain things. E.g porn stuff. But it does not make the conscious choice to do so it is following programming.

Should be a fair wage, but it’s not always a fair wage. In reality minimum wage will always lag behind inflation if you keep raising it to chase it.
Say minimum wage is $10
I work a job
Now, what is the company going to pay me?
$10
Fair wage is $12 for the job, but the business is only required to pay me $10.
In perfect economic conditions, I could go find another company that’s willing to pay me $12, but we all know someone struggling at the bottom can’t just simply switch jobs.
So the people that want to increase minimum wage want it to go to $12. To make it fair.
I’d say let them get $10, then tax the company and make sure the person gets $12, maybe even $14 if they need it.
Cost of living in NY > Cost of living in Nowhere, Kansas
Minimum wage of NY > Minimum wage of Nowhere, Kansas
This has nothing to do with what minimum wage should afford
I don’t agree with OP. We shouldn’t be striving to get people to work minimum wage. The minimum should be minimum. 2 BR is not minimum.
Now I’m all for a Basic Minimum Income. And if you need 2 BR and your low paying job isn’t enough, the BMI should cover it.
But this idea that the lowest working class needs to receive “minimum wage” is false. They need to receive fair pay, not the minimum the company is required to give them.

Type in your settings search bar “Swipe down for Notification Panel”
There should be a setting to turn on
According to the A32 5g user manual it is possible to turn on the feature.
Settings, Display, Home Screen, Swipe Down for Notification Panel
I would have thought every Samsung device had it
Try searching for “Swipe Down for Notification Panel”
S22+
I can drag my thumb down anywhere on my home screen to bring down the notifications. Then notifications are in bottom 2/3 of screen.
There is hardly a reason I need to reach the top 1/3 of my phone
Something like typing in a URL in a web browser
But that small inconvenience where I have to shift my hand isn’t worth me losing a big screen
I can still do everything one handed
My girlfriend loves her iPhone mini
She has small baby hands
I can curl my fingers over the tops of hers if we matched up hands
Mini feels so small in my hands and I don’t know if it’s just the different keyboard, but I can’t type on it very well
So I could even see that as a downside of me going to a smaller phone
I have a s22+
I always get told I have piano fingers
I used to use a popsocket, but I switched to a phone wallet
Back, Home, and Recent tabs are all on the bottom with a simple swipe up.
I keep my phone resting on my pinky
With it like that, my thumb can reach 2/3 of the way to the top.
Placing my pinky under the phone, I can reach my thumb to the top left corner.
Most of the time, I never need to reach up there
But as for typing, I typed this whole thing one handed
I enjoy the big screen
I feel like if I were a tea drinker, it would be a no-brainer to get one over using a kettle every morning.
You can buy a whole unit on a large website for 302.43. Just a place at the top searches. So maybe cheaper somewhere else.
Most people are going to have power for their dishwasher or garbage disposal
Getting a hole in the countertop would be the hardest DIY part about it.
Non-stone countertop, and I’d probably charge like $200 to put it in for like 1 hour of work at most.
It’s easily worth 300-500 dollars to get instant tea every morning for years.
Better yet installing a small filter water system while you’re at it. While plumber is there, it would be easy to add both at the same time and you’d get a discount rather than doing them at separate times.
The 302.43 unit comes with “cold” tap water dispensing as well. You could have filtered “cold” tap water on demand as well with the single faucet.
It’s an amazing upgrade for a house if you can afford it. I do see some electric kettles for <$10. Apparently, some you can keep plugged in and running always, didn’t know that. Sounds risky unless you get an expensive one and they you should probably just go all out for the faucet.
