Saving consumers money and having them breathe healthier air is just part of the liberal woke mind virus.
It's my freedom to suck on tailpipes and stove exhaust. Those damn libruls better not take that right away from me!
I like coil top stoves, and hate computers in bedded in stoves.
Wow my uh, preview image is rather explicit. I don’t even surf pork on Lemmy, the hell?
I read an article about stove top gas regulations for nothing.
I recommend cooking breakfast the morning after.
Lemmy and the Washington Post tend to interact really badly. It's an ongoing problem.
For the folks getting the thumbnail from MILFtrip.com because of "awesome kbin image caching bug". NO, that is not how the DoE is poised. That position is not of modest efficiency. And I highly doubt that would save consumers money on energy bills.
There are zero ways that anything with a MILF is "less energy-intensive".
Some conservative ghoul, like Clarence Thomas:
This is why the administrative state needs to go.
We're going to get low-flow burners, aren't we?
So what you're saying is that your big turd needs a big flush... Fueled by a big stove?
God help us
People complaining about low-flow toilets have never used a modern low-flow toilet. Ours has two flush buttons, a big one and a small one. I'm sure you can guess which situation you use each one for. It works quite well. In fact, our old toilet, which was not low flow, used to clog all the time. I think I've had to unclog this one once and we've had it 4 or 5 years now.
It’s really down to what timeframe you’re looking at. I do want to get a new toilet exactly because my “low flow” toilet from 25+ years ago doesn’t flush as well as a modern one . Meanwhile the real water hogs from 50+ years ago could flush a sailboat.
I think water saving toilets went in generations like: 5+ gal—>3.5 gal—>1.6 gal—>1.2 gal
I’m at the 1.6 gallon flush generation, but modern ones about 1.2 gallon or better were where the technology actually improved
No... Or, really I have no idea what you're saying. I was just making a joke about low-flow shower heads.
