go shower but water is not super hot, not cold though but not super hot either, so I call Polish hotel front desk, Polish staff girl come to room to check, she feels and says "yes it's not very hot huh" and she will call to go fix, so refreshing to 1) get front desk to pick up phone in a hotel, 2) she comes to room within 5 minutes to check, 3) she agrees with problem and does not try gaslight you "it's hot enough", none of this would be possible in Portugal #onlyinportugal
see Claude Code discover our Powerwall installer set the Grid Limit to 6.9 kVa (randomly) while our potencia is 27.6 kVa meaning the Powerwall manager was powering the house half from grid half from batteries for no reason because the house used too much energy, ask to increase so batteries stay charged for outages #onlyinportugal
