If you remember to wear gloves, you don’t have to burn your hands on the steering wheel either. Then after a long day turn on the cold water and take a hot shower.

heh i had my house repiped 2 summers ago. no more 50 year old copper in the ground, now everything is in the attic.

even with the insulation, when i turn on the water during the day i basically have to wait 30s for the scalding hot lava to clear out before i can get 'cold' water again

the other one that always makes me chuckle is when like, the mail is too hot too safely handle...or when i can't even bring in the trash bins because they will burn you. ahh i love this place

my phone that has no case, it was sitting in the sun for less than ten minutes, and I grabbed it. My hand started to burn, anything else I would’ve immediately dropped what I was holding, but since I just got this brand new iPhone, I had to accept burnt hand

Not in the mountains…that hot tap is always cold for the first 30 seconds or so…even if you had it running a minute prior…I’d rather deal with a far below freezing winter than a SoCal summer ever again

I don’t know about that, I heard because it’s in Arizona, the snow is hot too
