Amazing quality of life upgrade. It feels like a million bucks to have hot water instantly. However, when I looked into this for my home it seemed like it saves water at the increased energy expense of heating your pipes, right? For me it would end up costing more than living without it.

Do I have this wrong?

Keeping the floss in am the shower was my eureka moment! Haven’t missed a day since.

Keeping the dish drying rack empty. If it’s empty, it is much more likely that the people you live with will wash their own dishes.

Also, if I am having a rough start to my day sometimes just grinning like a maniac into empty space for a minute sparks a better mood and motivation.

Thanks devs!!

Yeah. Countless examples going both directions. I wouldn’t call crocodilians super adaptable, but they are so well tuned for their specific environs that they’ve been largely unchanged for 94 MILLION years.

I would argue that being warm blooded makes an animal more adaptable. Interestingly, it seems cold blooded reptiles evolved into warm blooded archosaurs which eventually led to cold blooded crocodilians. Tellingly, these active warm blooded ancestors are all extinct in favor of the passive, cold blooded, low adaptability ambush predator.

In the opposite direction, the adaptable rat has done much better than the countless specialized species that have disappeared since the industrial revolution and human explosion.
