And to make it worse is like you are playing over the most laggy connection ever.
The only thing with more latency is IPoAC
Change the water pressure too
More water pressure = less hot Less water pressure = more hot
That’s cuz water that moves faster has less time to get hot
The sweet spot for my shower can be found by tapping the handle up or down with less force than a mouse click, like I think this moves it a micrometre.
Exactly how I do it. I start it running for a few second in the general middle spot, and tap it either way. It’s going to vary where that is summer or winter, but fortunately the handle isn’t too tight and I can get it with a few taps.
I had one shower in an apartment where the temp was set by twisting the round knob, but turned on by pulling out the whole thing. Perfection.
That’s not all. Once you get the temp just right, the plumbing starts to heat up and the temp changes gradually over the course of the shower, so you have to adjust it as you go.
Also the hot water layers in the hot water tank
Are thermostatic shower mixers not a thing where you guys live?
Nope. I hadn’t even heard of them until a few days ago, when someone from a different country than mine mentioned them, so I went searching the web to figure out what they were. I’m so jealous!
Of course no one has ever done this joke better than Suzy Izzard
The shower at my apartment is like this, if I even so much as twist the knob more than half a millimeter, the temperature will swing wildly
I just burn the dirt from my skin
My shower has a thermostat and I can just set the temperature and go.
You bastard! I am so deeply jealous!

And the single knob/lever designs are just bad idea. I want two separate knobs for hot and cold water, that way I don’t have to get maximum pressure all the time. Sometimes being able to take a long warm shower without using a ton of water is great.
Single, quick-turn handle shower/bath spigots work alright for places with giant hot water boilers, but not so much for single family residences. I want to control the flow of both temperatures separately and accurately.
I used to think I wanted that until I had to use separate knobs for hot and cold water and it was even more fiddly, you also have to get pressure correct. They ended up leaking and I figured it was just easier to replace with a turn handle fixture that uses cartridges than learning how to repair super old plumbing, the handle is actually way more forgiving in terms of getting it in the range of tolerable temperatures, and you don’t have to think about water pressure.
Just turn on the hot water first to desired pressure, then turn on the cold water to get temperature
Edit: because you really don’t need much cold water to cool it down.
Edit 2: then as the shower cools down over time, just turn down the cold water a little bit as needed
Edit 3: and because you’re able to control overall pressure, you can have exact temperature to a trickle or full power, allowing you to have as long or powerful of a shower as you want
I have a shower head with a valve to control the pressure
The hot water dial on my shower slowly turns itself off over there course of a shower, so I stick a latex glove between the dial and the tile so the friction keeps it from turning.
mygosh that 1-2 Switch image got me. i can hear the sounds from that game-
This meme doesn’t include the other factor when living with other people that they might run a tap elsewhere in the house or flush a toilet
Those shower valves are self balancing. Pressure will drop, but temperature doesn’t change.
Depends on the age of your house and if you’ve removed pressure restrictors and such.
My old house we had to be careful AF, if you were showering and someone so much as turned on the dishwasher, you were going to freeze.
My new house has mixers and the fancy balancing, and also didn’t leak water through the walls, the wonders… i tell you
I’m an unsafe cracker

your safe would melt instead.
