  • Peasants had at least a couple changes of clothes, plus the Sunday and festivities clothes.

    Also don’t forget that salmon for dinner didn’t catch itself, you either spend the time, or it’s lobster night again. And better remember to get some flour to the baker to get some bread made for the family, or it’s lobster with month old moldy bread. Better hope the chickens lay some eggs for breakfast.

    It’s not about the amount of horse shit, it’s about haw fast can you load it on the cart.

    Once done, there is no more horse shit to load for the day. And if Timmy out there doesn’t feel like loading his half of the horse shit one day, you were allowed to punch some sense into that thick skull of his.




  • None of y’all are plumbers and most of y’all work in IT and it fucking shows

    You’re not a plumber and you lack problem fixing skills and it fucking shows. 🙄

    The photo shows:

    • water is running, meaning: the faucet works, the pipe to the faucet works, the water is not shut off
    • the faucet seems to be of a two valve kind, meaning: if the tenant is not an idiot and didn’t turn on the wrong valve, and they did wait a reasonable time for hot water to come out, then the problem is not with the faucet but with the heater
    • the faucet can not be the problem, meaning a plumber does not need to carry a spare faucet, but the pipes could be hooked up wrong (hot pipe to cold valve and vice versa), which could be and easy fox for the landlord themselves without having to pay a plumber

    Probing questions would be only useful if the tenant spent some effort on answering them, instead of, for example:

    is the water lukewarm or cold?

    A: Yes.

    what if the water isn’t running?

    A: There is no hot water.

    This is not an IT ticket, it’s a general problem solving procedure issue.


  • The faucet tends to have some sort of control apparatus (maybe a “valve”, sometimes festooned by a “knob”) to enable the user to interactively choose the amount of water from each pipe that goes into the faucet.

    Now, such apparatus might be comprised of two valves, each one for hot and cold water separately, or a single control which may be rotated to select the mixture amount, or an automaic thermostatic apparatus with a target water temperature dial that the operating user may set to a target temperature which may be called “hot” or “cold” and will adjust the water mixture from the hot and cold water pipes accordingly.

    OP’s picture seems to have been sent in bad faith, but it does include a control apparatus comprised of a valve with a knob, which can be construed as the tenant showing they had done their due diligence in discovering it is by turning the pertaining knob to open the hot water pipe valve, and nothing else, that after a reasonable waiting period, the water coming out of the faucet is indeed still cold and not hot as intended by the expected behavior of the installed mechanism.

    If the tenant misled the landlord by showing a tap which had only a single cold water pipe connection, or failed to correctly operate the valves connected to the faucet in order to produce the desired hot water, then the landlord could fairly charge them with any delays or extra charges incurred from being provided with false information, like the cost of sending a plumber to check on the heater… instead of a dog with a stick to bonk the tenant for being an idiot and not turning the right valve to the faucet.
