  • Edit: my bad, I was wrong. My unit is actually not using a regular plug, and pulls up to 21kW.

    I mean I know things are different here in Europe but 18kW for a water heater? Why? I have one that plugs into a regular outlet, so no more than 3.5kW, and I have no issues whatsoever. Sure, water isn’t boiling hot out of the tap, but I can take showers no problem and usually need to mix a little cold water to make it comfortable. Why would you need any hotter water? Or is there some other reason why you need so much more power in an american system?

    The database IDs were strings including the hostname of the machine that wrote to the DB. Since it was a centralized server, all IDs had the same hostname. The ID also included date and time accurate to the millisecond, and the table name itself.

    Me: Mom, can we have UUIDs? Mom: We have UUIDs at home UUIDs at home: that shit
