  • I took a job at a “robotics” company after the owner sold me a huge line of bullshit (that I completely fell for which is a story for another time) after being in a toxic job for a number of years before. On day one at about 8:30am, I realized that it was not what I fell for during the interview. The boss was someoletely unhinged, the expected hours were not what I had agreed to and the work was constantly being micromanaged by the owner who knew just enough to look like a complete idiot when the discussions got technical. The only positive thing with the job was that I had some company stock coming in at 6 months so I held out until I was 100% sure they couldn’t screw me on the stock vesting and then immediately resigned.

    There are different heating element sizes for electric heaters and different burner btu ratings for gas heaters. You can have a big tank and low heating output, a small tank with a high output, or any other combo of those.

    My solution is to buy the highest output heater with as big of a tank as you can find, crank the output to just below the flamethrower output level, and shower with my wife. It fixes most of the problems with a benefit of naked wife time.

    I live on the gulf coast with a shitty power grid so we have gas powered tank heaters so it still works during an outage, otherwise I would probably go tankless.
