Since shower water is a mixture of hot and cold, tank size, tank temperature, and cold water temperature are the predominant factors, at least initially.
For a given shower temperature, hot water consumption rate will increase at an exponential rate until tank temperature falls to shower temperature, then shower temperature will fall.
The late astronomer and author Carl Sagan was a secret but avid marijuana smoker, crediting it with inspiring essays and scientific insight, according to Saganās biographer.
Using the pseudonym āMr. Xā, Sagan wrote about his pot smoking in an essay published in the 1971 book Reconsidering Marijuana. The bookās editor, Lester Grinspoon, recently disclosed the secret to Saganās biographer, Keay Davidson.
Davidson, a writer for the San Francisco Examiner, revealed the marijuana use in an article published in the newspaperās magazine Sunday. Carl Sagan: A Life is due out in October.
āI find that today a single joint is enough to get me highā¦ in one movie theater recently I found I could get high just by inhaling the cannabis smoke which permeated the theatre,ā wrote Sagan, who authored popular science books such as Cosmos, Contact, and The Dragons of Eden.
In the essay, Sagan said marijuana inspired some of his intellectual work.
āI can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves,ā wrote the former Cornell University professor. āI wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down.ā
Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, as well as music and sex.
Grinspoon, Saganās closest friend for 30 years, said Saganās marijuana use is evidence against the notion that marijuana makes people less ambitious.
āHe was certainly highly motivated to work, to contribute,ā said Grinspoon, a psychiatry professor at Harvard University.
Grinspoon is an advocate of decriminalizing marijuana.
Ann Druyan, Saganās former wife, is a director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. The nonprofit group promotes legalization of marijuana.
Sagan died of pneumonia in 1996. He was 62.

How could I forget that I had given her an extra key?
Other people donāt just shower together for fun? Shower sex is awful, but tandem showering is lovely. Even used to shower with roommates back in the days.
Iād shower with my youngest (son) from time to time as long as weāre both still comfortable with it. My oldest has grown past that tho.
I used to shower with my wife but she would hog the water and have it on way, way too hot for my liking. It wasnāt an enjoyable experience for me. Iād just have to try to get her to finish up quick so I can go and tend to myself alone.
Thanks for reminding me of some great memories showering with my dad. We would have these like endurance contests with the cold water lol.
With my partner I kind of squish myself against the wall so we have the water pouring between us. But youāre right itās not as easy as just trending to yourself.

I miss having a long term partner because I fucking loved having someone to give my back a proper scrub. I felt like a snake shedding my skin. I have a loofah on a stick now, but itās not the same.

Off topic but I think the lyric is bathroom floor, bathroom door could turn it into a slightly different story
welp i tried
Wtf how big is your water heater?
Doesnāt this mean he left the shower?
Iāll test this for science.
First I have to find a wife.
Thats a solid plan. Start with a partner and then study Gaussian curves. God knows understanding Gauss first makes it harder to find a partner
I studied Gaussian curves and found a mistress
I git laid a month after I flipped through the first chapter of an introduction.
Coincidence? I think not
Already high. Got that down.
Never got any complaints *wink wink*
Itās not the size of the water heater, itās the volume of water output.
Since shower water is a mixture of hot and cold, tank size, tank temperature, and cold water temperature are the predominant factors, at least initially.
For a given shower temperature, hot water consumption rate will increase at an exponential rate until tank temperature falls to shower temperature, then shower temperature will fall.
We were making sexual innuendos, not having a real conversation on water heater capabilities.
Anyway instantaneous (in-line) heaters exist, Iāve got a 35-year old one, never runs out of water, it doesnāt have a tank.
Tankless water heaters will go forever.
Yeah, all that hot water and then people will just take longer showers. Their job is really tankless.
Itās more efficient tm
Is this a home owner joke Iām too poor to get

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world needs to up its game
When a highly educated genius has shower thoughts. Or gets high.
Apparently it took the combination of both to really kick off.

That signature at the bottom hit me like a semi
Why?
Mr XHe was pretty open about his Marijuana use.Edit: Maybe not explicitly open, but definitely was known after his death.
Something something, hitting his wifeās bottom like a semi
Now thatās a guy who likes curves!
Imagine having sex, you blast rope all over your SO and see some noise pattern that leads to the discovery of a stable wormhole.
Wasnt there a documentary on PBS in the 90s about fermatās last theorem where this was a plot point?

Was the wife impressed though?
Iād say probably no, he clearly got so distracted by all that shit that he forgot to let her finish
No doubt
