It was a very exciting day for me on Twitter yesterday!

UPDATE: Some people are emailing me saying that T-Rex's "hot water heater" is like him saying "ATM machine" or "OPP Police". To them I can only give this extremely satisfying explanatory sequence of events that I did not just make up on the spot!

municipal water enters house

some water goes into an on-demand water heater, which provides an output of 3 gal/min

shower and other uses demand 9 gal/min, so the water heater would not be able to keep up

as such, the water heater outputs to a secondary bin, a buffer of hot water that is kept hot

this is the "hot water" heater that is mentioned in the comic

this is definitely what happened in dinosaur times

the end, my credibility stays intact!
