    I have under good authority this situation happened.

    Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. Apple was removed.

    Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. This time the 🍎 that was removed had two bites. They thought the bites would let them grab it.

    If you break the bottom of a💡 the globe becomes weaker. Which is essentially what is in the picture. Probably thicker than a light bulb. I’d say it would be hard to break.

    Oh there are worse methods which is the crazy part

    Crucifixion is more “show” when compared to other torture/execution methods. It is horrible don’t get me wrong. But its intention is not to inflict maximum pain or torture but to show maximum pain or torture to those witnessing it

    Like let’s just say Christians wouldn’t be wearing a bull around their necks if it happened that way. And that’s even a milder one.

    Crucifixion is death with some torture

    There are torture, torture, torture, …, death methods

    You can always add an “And then”

    It is believed they nailed through the wrists not the hands.

    You could probably put a nail through your wrist and just leave it and live your life without treating it. You’d have to be unlucky and hit a large vein and your body not clot properly, the nail would help stop the blood.

    It’s like the myth with a bullet. First thing is not to pull it out because it will make things worse. You can live with a bullet in you.

    The stabbing of the spear, to my knowledge, was for mercy so he’d not suffer as long.





  • Thought of something else. Your water heater stays on 24/7.

    The only hot water I use in the morning before I go to work is to wash my hands.

    If I don’t get home until let’s say 5. I’d need to wash my hands some more but I don’t need hot water until I take my shower at 9.

    So really I would be keeping 80 gallons of water hot for 23.5 hrs so I can use ~30 gallons in 15 minutes.

    It’s only keeping it at ~120°-140°F (~50°C) compared to 210° (99°C) of the instant hot water tank.

    I have a tankless water heater so that’s not a problem for me, but seems crazy thinking about it now.

    Which leads me to my next thought. I wonder if they make tankless under sink hot water dispensers?


  • I’m talking about an instant hot water dispenser which can put out 210°F or 99°C almost instantly.

    You have three main ways to heat water for something like tea.

    1 Boil on stove top

    2 Electric Kettle

    2.5 Electric Kettle with larger tank and dispenser (Zojirushi)

    3 Instant hot water faucet with heater tank under cabinet

    *Microwaving water can be very dangerous

    My opinion is while opinion 3 is the most costly, it is super nice and convenient if you use it often.


  • I’ll add this too:

    You can get a filter for the dispenser. Pure drinking water and hot water while reducing scale buildup.

    I don’t have a filter on mine and I have never done any descaling or maintenance on it in 7+ years other than cleaning the faucet like I would any other faucet.

    Pro:

    • Instant hot water on tap 24/7 (Instant cool drinking water 24/7)
    • Able to easily filter water
    • Unlimited water (No refilling unit)

    Con:

    • Extra electricity

    $30 extra a year?

    Like would you pay $2.50-$5 monthly subscription for unlimited instant hot/cold filtered water on tap whenever you want it? (above $2.50 would be for cold and filter if you choose those options instead of just hot. Since I assume cold takes more energy and you have to replace filters)

    Doesn’t make sense for everyone, and you do have to think about the upfront cost. You can get a tank for ~150, then the faucet can be ~50 to whatever you want to pay.

    So maybe if your Zojirushi ever breaks. I enjoy my Zojirushi bread maker a ton.


  • So it seems like it can only be a gain to turn it off for certain spells. And that is intuitively obvious, too: turning something off should save energy.

    Cars get better mileage on the highway than on city roads. Drive an hour, stop, drive an hour, stop, drive an hour. It is less efficient than driving 3 hours nonstop. The more stops the more inefficient.

    The under sink heaters are designed to keep water hot 24/7. I would image it is better insulated than the Zojirushi. The water is stored in a container that basically heats it up from every side. Some kettles like the one in the video have heating elements inside the water which is more efficient than just a hot bottom plate. Under sink heater has a hot plate on all sides of it’s box.

    From my experience, I’ve had one my entire life and couldn’t go back. I would expect at least 7-10 years from one. One in my current house is 7+ years old and works exactly the same as the day I installed it. Never turned it off once.


  • You should look into getting a hot/cold water dispenser for your sink. Easy to DIY install.

    They consume ~40w per hour. Where I live it is 15 cents per kwh. That’s .006 per hour, .15 per day, or 55 dollars per year.

    Instant hot/cold water whenever you want it is nice.

    Starting from room temperature water to near boiling takes a ton of energy. I don’t know if keeping it hot for 8 hours takes more electricity than starting it back up in the morning.

    But you’re probably paying half the $55 in electricity right now for the Zojirushi.

    Id pay $25 dollars a year to have instant hot and cold water (even filtered if you wanted) on tap 24/7. Especially if I were like you and used it multiple times a day.

    You only need a 120v outlet.


  • Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape and oilseed rape and canola, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of mildly toxic erucic acid.[2] The term “canola” denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.[3][4]

    Brassica napus subsp. napus is the proper name. Everything else is slang and not worth arguing about.

    We call it Sunflower Oil

    We call it Rapeseed Oil

    Not Rape Seed Oil
