It's a joke on "taking a shower", as in she is literally going to take it with her somewhere. You can tell she's not amused by the joke either ^^
Ok duh I did not get that one
This took me a minute. I can't remember the last time I was someplace that didn't have a balancing valve.
What sorcery is this "balancing valve" that I've never heard of or had the pleasure of experiencing!?!?!
It maintains the same temp, even when hot water temp or pressure is changing
I can’t speak for everyone but here’s what mine like like:
It doesn't even need to be that fancy. Basic ones will just react to reduced flow on the hot or cold side by reducing the other side proportionally to keep the temperature roughly the same.

Dishwashers use much less water.
i am too tall to fit in my dishwasher
I think it depends on how many people live at a place. I live alone and would never be able to fill up a dishwasher, using a lot more water for a few dishes than I would.
- Buy more dishes so you can go longer between washes
- Buy a half-height dishwasher. They exist, I owned one that lived on the floor of my bathroom.
I live alone and I fill up my full size dishwashers every few days. If you don't eat ordered/preprocessed food you can also just chuck pots and pans in the bottom rack.
Dishwashers use a lot less water than hand-washing. Even if there's a little bit of room left, it's still a net positive. There's no reason for anyone to hand-wash unless they live in a tiny NYC broom closet or exclusively eat take-out in disposable containers.

the house I live in has tons of problems but not this. there are 4 showers, 3 kitchens, 2 laundry, and I have never had the water run cold from hot running out. I'd trade that for internet that doesn't randomly cut out for hours at a time.
4 showers, 3 kitchens, 2 laundry
What kind of gigamansion is that, wtf? How many bedrooms, and how many people/servants live with you?
Standard 70's Yugoslav house I'd say. They built 'em intended to be multi generational. A good 1000l hot water storage in the basement is more than enough for something of this size.

Newer homes have tankless constant water heaters and it's the greatest thing in the world.
In our older house, we got endless comments about how tankless is the greatest thing ever and we should get one. In our new house, we have a tankless and we get endless comments about how they're not worth it and will break and we should get a traditional water heater.

We don't have that problem and have a water heater (not tankless). I think they just do something different with the plumbing here in Japan most of the time.
The good old "parallel vs serial" patterns. The later being cheaper, it is used everywhere but in those places where the owner specifically ask for parallel because of knowing its advantages.

How is she standing between the wall and the counter?
It's one of those kitchens where the counter doubles as a table if you get bar stools
Yeah, i've heard them called "breakfast bars". The condo I rented years ago had one of these cutouts.
And the vertical line? Lools like the corner of a room to me
A corner but it’s bending the other way.
