Fine by me....  8)

I did have an Indoctrination Specialist (aka college professor) once argue that cold is subjective as well and open to debate as to what degree is something considered cold.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I see your "ATM machine" and raise you a:
PIN number (Personal Identification Number number)
VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number number)
SAM missile (Surface to Air Missile missile)
and LCD display (Liquid Crystal Display display).

It seems like I see at least one of those on a weekly basis if not more often. VIN number is the most frequent offender I see, because people often don't know the model year of old off-road vehicles. I always tell them to find the VIN. The year code is the 10th digit by the way. It could be a number or a letter, and they repeat every 30 years. You should be able to tell if it's a certain age, or 30 years different. 6 letters aren't used. They can't use O and Q and 0, or I and l and 1, so those 4 letter are out. I couldn't tell you the other 2 off the top of my head.

Water turns to steam above 212 degrees F at sea level.  You need pressure to get hotter than that--it's why a pressure cooker cooks a pork roast in 30 minutes. 

If your examples are taking 240 degree showers, they are pressure steaming the skin right off themselves. 

There is a pressure/temperature gradient that indicates how much temperature is increased with each pound of pressure, but I am unable to bring it to mind at the moment, and too lazy to research it.

Still, your point about hot water heaters is certainly valid.

You're absolutely right. I have no clue about actual numbers of the pressure/temperature gradient, just an idea how it works. I actually typed 210 degrees, then went more extreme to emphasize the ridiculousness of needing an additional water heater, to heat already hot water even more. When I changed it to 240 degrees I didn't know that pressure cookers can get up to 248 degrees. As of 5 minutes ago I do. It's almost like I knew what I was talking about.

P.S. This is for everyone. If you go on vacation for more than 3 days, you shouldn't have hot water in your cold water heater by the time you return. I don't normally turn mine down except when I take off for a week or more, which doesn't happen often. The energy savings you get for only keeping the water warm is worth the the short wait to have a hot shower. Mine always gets hot again faster than I can get things unpacked.

My younger son bought a timer for his water heater when he built his house. It works similar to a programmable thermostat.

My house has a hybrid water heater with a heat pump to assist.

It has four settings one of which is vacation.

Life gets complicated when you have to think about it   ;D ;D
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

When I think too much my brain hurts. I should quit.

"+" is NOT the same thing as "&". I saw that there's a show on TV tonight called Ashlee + Evan and I thought to myself, I bet they say it as Ashlee and Evan, not Ashlee plus Evan. I looked online and it looks like I was right. It's just like when C+C Music Factory was popular. It was always said as C&C, not C+C. BTW in this video the woman singer is lip-syncing to the vocals of a woman from The Weather Girls who had a hit with It's Raining Men. She was better looking, so she was in the video instead of the fat woman who was actually singing. This was around the same time that Milli Vanilli got busted for lip-syncing. Both guys were German and could barely speak any English at all, so they just danced around and pretended to sing.
