You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily

Ahh, yes, 1002 people is a large sample size, like .003% of the population.

Your article is also about switching. Doesn't say anything about if people would prefer to stay on DST or standard time.

"Summer time" is DST

If you removed DST, we would always be on standard time.

What you are saying is make DST permanent, not removing DST

Why do you want the sun to set early?

I'd rather have an extra hour of sun after work than an hour of sun before work

I think most people enjoy DST. Most complain when it's dark at 5 pm.

Even a couple of dollars more for a contractor is a lot when a thermostatic valve doesn't add any value.

You can get inexpensive tankless water heaters.

You want to open the hot valve 100% until the hot water comes because it conserves water. You want to clear out the hot water line as fast as possible. Turning it to 70% just takes longer to heat up and you're just dumping cold water out for no reason.

I remembered it wrong. He wasn't doing laundry. He was pouring concrete into the guy's washing machine.

No idea what that guy did to deserve a messed up washing machine.

"You ever use the gentle cycle?" Absolutely hilarious /s

You have to have grown up with it and gained an unconditional love of the characters. You don't care that they are an asshole to a character you don't like.

Look at Kramer he is so stupid he can't figure out a washing machine! Lol he's going to try to pour a bunch of detergent in next and act like he's drunk because he's that stupid! He's so funny!

Edit: Remembered it wrong. He was pouring concrete into the washing machine. Classic asshole

There are the "I like to keep my house at 66°F because I like to wear a hoodie or use a blanket". They are going to say that 75°F is warm or even hot for a room.

If an average person sat naked in a 75°F room they would be happy.

68°F or 20°C is cold for me. Even 70°F or 21°C. I keep my house around 72° to 74°F and bump it up or down a degree. Coming in from mowing the yard, bump it down, sitting all day watching movies, keep it the same, cold winter day, bump it up.

Older people keep their houses at 78°+

100°F doesn't mean "not fit for human habitation"

Anything above body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) you are slowly cooking yourself. That's why 100°F is important.

Might be popular in new expensive builds

Standard house isn't going to have them

Really I don't see much of a point for one. Crappy house with crappy plumbing, but they aren't going to buy a fancy valve to make the problems somewhat manageable.

Tankless water heaters are becoming more popular. The thermostatic valve would save you from turning the standard water mixer a little hotter when you run out of room temp cold water in the lines and the cold water from outside reaches the shower. Otherwise, you are always being supplied constant temperature water.

I feel like most people that would be willing to pay extra for a thermostatic valve would pay extra to have an oversized water heater, or even tankless.
