My tank of water gets heated up every day regardless of whether I use it to wash pots. It's not saving me energy to use the dishwasher.

Barely use our boiler; electric showers and Qooker tap and boiler is on demand in winter (underfloor heating downstairs is smart so its just upstairs that's on a regular timer). Just in the process of upgrading the house insulation (attic done, extension roof done, new windows and front door literally finishing today, external wrap in two weeks' time) so I'm hoping we use it even less going forward.

Washing dishes, especially pans, takes a lot longer than loading and unloading the dishwasher; it does if you're washing them properly anyway.

Technically when you use the hot/warm water is replaced with cold water and needs heating again but to a greater degree than just maintaining the tank water, either way the point is moot because in general dishwashers are far more economical and efficient at washing stuff but to make the best of it you need to make it as full as possible.

You will require water from a tap to fill the kettle, under them is normally a sink

It's brilliant. I got one for my mum because I didn't want her falling while holding a kettle of boiling water, and liked it so much I got one too. Put cup under spout, press button, 30-45 seconds later - cup filled. It only boils a cup full at a time.

We used them for a while, but with the volume of tea drunk they tended to fail a bit too quickly for our liking.

When I saw the text thought @MYstIC G was being sarcastic, how wrong was I.

archive.is is another one. Quite a few news subs on reddit automatically archive links to it as they're submitted so the chances are links have already been bypassed/cached (including the above one).

That was pretty cool. And they did it for less than $100 million!

Although they still seem to be having issues doing more basic things, such as building bridges:

Very impressive - although can you imagine if something had gone wrong and they had to get through to support?

Deserts of Kharak is actually a pretty solid RTS. The sound and ambience is amazing, and the story itself is decent too, if a little short. Took me about 8 hours to complete it.
