    Instant hot water system question.

    How does a gas instant hot water system know when I turn on the hot water? What's the feedback loop from the tap to the water system? How does it know I want hot water, not cold water? I've googled a bunch of 'how does a gas hot water system work' type questions but all results seem to give...

    What economic group did you grow up in?

    I don't even think we were in the class system at the beginning of my life. 0-2 we lived in an unfinished hippy shack (proper roof but a few tarpaulin walls), no power, grew our own veggies, baked bread, bathed in the river (or showered using a bucket with holes), traded stuff with neighbours...

    Boglehead/Vanguard way to retire

    Sorry if this doesn't relate closely enough to the theme of the thread, but would any of you consider buying indexes through a forex broker rather than a managed fund, as a way to reduce management fees?

    $250k burning a hole in my pocket.

    Hey Dex, you probably can't kick the tenant out. There are a few rent controlled places around town with old folks that you can't kick out til they die. Looks like it might have a damp problem too? Plus, the city is trying really hard to crack down on airbnb. I mean, they won't be able to stop...
