Augie Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 7 hours ago, ProcessImproverMan said: First world problems. When I lived overseas in Russia where I taught English, heat was turned off by the central heating authority in the summer (heat is pumped in to apartments by a central government location) so I had to take cold showers daily for months. The fact there's complaints about this from grown men is pure first world softness. America is going downhill. True. And it’s nice to be in the first world where there are certain expectations. 😋 It’s almost hard to believe that this is even a story, and I won’t shed a tear for these guys. But if you check into a Red Roof Inn (are they still around?) you have low expectations, but hot water is on the short list. When I travel I adjust my expectations. I am on occasion quite surprised by how different things are in places we think of as “civilized.” It’s normal to them, so who am I to judge? 🤷♂️ This hot shower thing falls into the life category of…..stuff happens.

Goin Breakdown Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) I forgot what this thread was originally about. That in itself is worth me mentioning rather then scrolling all the way to the top to figure out. .

boater Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I lived nearby when it opened. The place is only 26 years old. That's a teenager in public infrastructure years, not even. No hot water? What a dump. Crummy neighborhood also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalesw Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 11 hours ago, ProcessImproverMan said: I grew up in a rural small snowbelt WNY town and had to walk about a mile up my family's stone drive way (wooded drive way) to the bus stop and stand there in numerous snow storms for anywhere from 10 minutes to 40 minutes (bus driver was often late in the winter and drove like a maniac) due to my school never closing during a snow storm (sat on a bus for 3 hours one morning because we got stuck in the snow during a storm). There was no waiting inside for the bus to come and then walking out (like I see kids doing now)... So yes soft generation now a days.... You had busses? What luxury. Walked almost 2 miles each way to west irondequite high. My kids are sick of hearing about it. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Why isn’t the league pressuring Washington to build a new stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan in Owego Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Puss boys, i take an extended ice cold shower every day for my health. Not to mention these guys sit in ice tubs🤑. Wim Hof would approve👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Everyone can laugh at this story (and so did I) but when you realize these players are all young millionaires let me ask if you think a group of real estate tycoons would find it acceptable if there was no hot water in their company hotel? I’m guessing not. As with so many other stories…someone needs to get fired! Edited November 22, 2023 by SoCal Deek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 They should have 4 tankless water heaters for those showers. But if it’s on a 1/2 PE gas service line it might trip the EFV and they would still be without hot water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
