Considering that heat rises, I’d be pretty surprised if the heating element for an electric kettle was anywhere but beneath the tank. It wouldn’t work very well otherwise, unless you used a much more expensive method of heating it all around., But even then, there would still be heating elements underneath.

A good way to improve efficiency there, would be to insulate the tank to reduce heat dissipation in the first place.

what you’re describing is an oven with a heat pump. industrial-grade ovens like this exist, but they don’t really exist in the home appliance market as the amount of energy recaptured at that scale would be negligable. it’s easiere (and cheaper) to make ovens more energy efficient in other ways.

there are a number of other home appliances (washers, dryers, and dishwashers), however, which use inverter heat pumps to recapture/recycle heat, thus increasing energy efficiency by quite a lot.

• I don’t wear cargo pants. Nobody should.
• if I’m wearing a shoulder bag, it’s because I’m carrying stuff other than what is already in my pockets. Like my water bottle and my laptop.
• I don’t wear things with only two pockets.
• if I’m wearing a jacket, it’s because it’s cold out, not because I need extra pockets

Edit: the great thing about these is that you can eventually add a raspberry pi to the mix for even more functionality and learning fun!

You know, I find it quite annoying that hackers will choose a target like Steam rather than a force that’s actually evil in this world. Like, put your skills to good use at least…

Mine has been “WiFi Art Thou Romeo?” for 20+ years

I’m in my mid 40s. I seem to recover from injury at about the same speed I did in my 20s (perhaps a little bit slower), but recovering from illnesses can take a little longer. I also noticed that I tend to get injured a little bit easier, especially twisting my ankles. But I’m in generally good health and eat a decent diet. If I didn’t take as good care of myself as I do, I could see my recovery times getting longer.

One thing I don’t recover from as quickly is a night of drinking. I’m much more likely to get hung over than I was when I was younger. I need to drink a lot more water.

Oof, that’s a good one

I wish I could pirate this media more, but I’m already not paying for it. But, at least, I can go online and be indignant about it!

Me, too. That’s why I wanna do it!
