claimed an objective opinion, and that supposed to have data and a study to back it

Not “someone”. Me. And I linked to the paper, which itself had many links to other studies backing up my claim. You essentially said “nuh uh, more sources” without providing any of your own. Your bad faith arguments don’t work here, go back to Xitter.

so let’s get the data and compare

Yes, let’s get the data. You first. You’re really good at telling other people to go get data and sources. Show us how it’s done.

My brother in christ, drones are all over that paper. Have you read an academic paper before? Do you know how to follow sources in papers? Tell you what, you go find some sources of your own and we can compare. Sitting back and saying “nuh uh” ain’t gonna do it. Put up or shut up.

Yes, I do. Here you go champ.

Objectively yes.

It’s not just the lead you’d have to worry about. Commercial jets spew all kinds of nasty shit, and there’s also the significant amount of particulates in the air from the tires. It’s just not safe nor healthy to live that close to an airport, lead or no lead.

Also, I would absolutely not eat the produce from those farms, which according to TFA, they’re still producing and selling locally.

They know. But that sort of work environment takes planning, good leadership, and broader company values than just short-term profit. So it’s far easier and cheaper to throw you the occasional pizza party, company T-shirt, and 10% off mental health services.

Don’t trip on your way to go get some.

Agreed. And only if the movie or show is not produced by Netflix.

So you literally no nothing

Or, ideally, liquidated and sold a department at a time to existing competitors, to ensure actual competition

Oh my sweet, summer child…

I don’t have historical data for the initial time period where I was trying to use this “normally” / using the default mode. However, here’s a screen shot of last month’s usage. Two adults in the house.

I have this exact model, and I wish I didn’t. It turns out there’s a flaw in the logic that controls the heating elements. When in “Energy Saver” mode (the default mode), the lower heating element won’t heat the water. So when you start to use the hot water, as the hot water goes out, the replacement cold water coming in isn’t getting heated at the bottom. This drops the temperature of the existing hot water in the tank, and it takes several hours of no hot water use for the tank to get to your desired temp. For my family it means we get about 1 1/2 showers (showers last about 7 or 8 minutes) before the water starts coming out lukewarm. You can see this happening on your unit by activating the diagnostic mode on the panel and watching the lower element water temp.

I went several rounds with Rheem’s customer support (including have two separate techs come to my house to inspect it) before someone finally acknowledged in writing that there’s a known defect in the logic of the controller board. They tagged my unit as defective, but so far have not been able to replace it since they haven’t engineered a fix and started producing a new version of the water heater with said fix.

My advice, stay away from Rheem hybrid water heaters for a while until they get it sorted out. Also, pro tip: Keep it on the “High Demand” mode so that it’s always using electricity + heat pump to heat the water. That gives you the most aggressive heating profile and does not contain the flaw where the lower heater element won’t activate. This was the advice their engineer gave me, and it’s allowed us to have hot water for more than a shower or two.

Because the people creating these mandates don’t have to suffer them. They come and go as they please, and they don’t work in the pit open office space. They have real offices with furniture, walls, and doors that shut.

That’s… not how bills work. Someone has to pay for the electricity, internet traffic / connectivity, and rent / mortgage for the server to exist somewhere. That’s true whether it’s self-hosted in someone’s basement or in a data center somewhere.
