You know how people are asked about sauna and they tell you there's no way you could enter a sauna safely because of the temperature. Especially when they hear Finns heat it up to 80-120 °C. Ironically in Finland it's unbearably hot if the weather outside is more than +25 °C and the sauna is unbearably cold if it's under +80 °C.

​@@SprakanaKerum If he means water kettles then.. Ismo has lived in USA for years, he knows that water kettles are not used in USA. The reason is simple: they have 120V mains voltage and that means every cable needs to be thicker so that they can carry the extra current needed. Everything is basically doubled from 240V system. But thicker cables means extra cost... so they are REALLY careful when it comes to ratings, and typical kitchen outlets do not carry enough current for 1.5kW water kettles. Their water kettles are half as powerful, and it is faster to boil water in a microwave or on a gas stove. Our kitchen outlets are rated to suitably high, i have never popped a fuse because of an overload. For US consumer they would have to install new wiring, or run an additional 240V line for EU electronics.. They get 240V in the house, they use center tapped mains where they get 240V and it is "split" to two 120V circuits. A lot of appliances actually use 240V, like clothes driers and such. So, if any US home builder is reading this, take time and futureproof your house a bit, having 240V line in the kitchen for EU and "rest of the world" appliances can become very handy. Water kettles are amazing when they are powerful enough. Nothing boils water faster and more efficiently than them, and they last forever. 20-30 years, easy. Same with all high power draw kitchen stuff. 240V outlet in the garage is also a good idea... 240V powertools, battery storage, and EV stuff... the EV charger anyway is going to use 240V, so get a regular Schuko outlet there too..

You are losing salt as you sweat so the salty beef jerky tastes like something essential that you are desperately missing, it is a craving that you are satisfying. Like drinking water when you are thirsty tastes extra great, it is that sort of a thing.. You can also eat it in cool down room, which is probably a better idea anyway..

There is also simple geometry and gravity used, when you put your electronics up high and run cables from the bottom there can be easily enough space to disallow any spray going up unless there is a flood. They are not water tight, they are splash resistant devices only. Water tight things have tremendous drawbacks as that means water can then accumulate inside the electronics box because of high pressure differentials as the surrounding temperatures change drastically... so the seals can easily let just a bit of water in but doesn't let it out. Over time you can have a flooding in the internal "ecosystem". It is better to just keep it "leaking" and shape the bottom so that it drains efficiently from just one designated spot. A lot of devices operate this way, and i can say that as an universal advice: if it is cheap, do NOT buy water tight, but go for splash resistant. Those have a chance of lasting, the water tight won't be what promised and it certainly is not built so well that it can keep the pressure differential.. because that kind of design actually can't be cheated, it is going to cost you. Exceptions are maybe fully potted stuff, like cheap water pumps as they are just poured full of epoxy, preventing them to ever be opened at all, and most importantly, there is no air inside except for few bubbles.. Something cheap like garden LED lights can be modified by drilling a hole at the lowest point of the enclosure. They are notorious for filling up with water over time. You can put a piece of sponge in the hole to prevent insects from going in. Splash resistant is just usually safer and there is rarely a need for water tight unless you are talking about marine stuff, or scuba diving.. Everything outside you house at this moment are most likely just splash resistant.

This is hilarious - no kidding I've had this conversation with a hotel in Malta before, they had a sauna with a sign saying "do not throw water on the electric furnace" lol -- I was with a Finnish friend, and he gave the reception a bit of a blasting, they wouldn't budge.

I remember that one. Basically the most common comment was "I would look angry, too, if I found out that the sauna wasn't properly heated by the time I'm already sitting there."

You could compare it to a regular stove in the kitchen where in fact the heater element is connected to electricity that makes the element very hot, just like the element in the electric kettle. But they realized that instead of putting the electric wires on top of everything without being covered, they put the heater element on top. Or maybe you couldn't make that comparison, to my understanding americans still use gas fueled stoves that are on literally open fire inside their home. Like it was 2000 BC. I actually had an exercise in school last year to calculate the heat transition and temperatures in the sauna for the stove, air and the seats if the seats were made of metal.

Not only are they built to withstand the water, they are actually designed specifically for you to throw the water. The steam that it creates is THE bath of the sauna. A dry sauna is not a sauna bath. The stove exists for the purpose of being thrown water on.

Also in Norway the Suana is around 90-110 .. atleast those i been in ... but i hate to go in em because its so dry those i tryed.. skin on my face feel like burning.. Water would be nice ..but they did not do that on those about 3 i try.. swiming halls ect.
