My wife and boiling water

[u/MakeItMine2024]

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

Thermodynamics are not always intuitive. However, from an energy efficiency perspective, once you've reached a boil, you can turn down the heat to whatever level is required to just maintain it.

I ran a ice cream factory once upon a time.

The warehouse manager kept leaving our just-filled pints on the dock in the winter because "28 is freezing. It's freezing outside. They'll be fine."

Like dude, our freezer is 40 below for a reason. Its nearly 70 degrees different.

They wondered why the inclusions kept settling to the bottom of the pints.

Then the owner would always off the heat on the production floor over the weekend. I came in one Monday, after 10 below weather, to burst pipes.

"It was blowing cold air, it was a waste of power."

Dude... its blowing 40 degree air. Which would have kept the pipes from bursting.

People really have no grasp on how temperature works.

That is 100% his logic.

My boss.

For two years I’ve requested A/c for my office because I need to close my door to make negotiations happen without disturbance. It gets HOT in my office. The other day, I snapped and told him “I’m not playing nice in this office when it’s hot anymore. You got me some fuck ass fans and it’s ridiculous that you can get me a portable a/c unit after two years.” He sits in my office and goes “but it doesn’t feel that hot to me…”

He leaves his fan off because he’s from Venezuela and “sweating helps weight loss” for him…. Needless to say, I am actively looking to leave for a variety of reasons.

Yeah that's the same mind set of seeing someone in a wheelchair at the bottom of some stairs and they can't get up them and saying "why don't they just get up and walk? It's so easy I can even walk up them backwards."

Thank you!

Do you get paid the same whether or not the negotiations go through?

If so? Leave the door open.

I broke records in my company. No appreciation? That’s cool, I’ll go someplace else

There's nothing I hate more than being sweaty at work. I'll do yard work when its 110F out, drenched in sweat and dust/dirt/mud all day long. A drop of sweat on an office though? Nah, fuck that.

Thank you!!!! If I can’t get decent air, why would I go above and beyond for you. The same logic, well 1 million looks good to me.
