noticed this sweet little heater in my bathroom when we moved in, but only tried using it in the last few days. DAMN THIS THING IS NIICE!! first class. gets hot real fast, fills the whole bathroom, nice for drying off or just sitting in front when it gets chilly. strange there seem to be fireplaces or these things in every california apartment yet I never saw such a thing in cheap apartments in mn.

well I am guessing that you don't have central heat in a lot of cheap apartments in socal?
Where I used to live we used to have one of those in every room
I got in trouble once because I pressed a chocolate bar on one and when it melted it made the smoke detectors go off giggle;

same principle as my oven. i must admit. it is rather genius though, especially for an area like a bathroom, where there is plenty of moisture.
Basically just a space heater contained within your drywall, but yeah, they're pretty nice to have around

yeah that's why I called it a heater
I think it looks cool I love it
My house is so old our heater (but even more than that, our AC) sucks
Another point worth mentioning is that most of the apartments in Minneapolis were built between 1910 and 1940, with a few up through the 70s. There are very few newer apartments that are cheap, especially in the city itself. Perhaps this is a contributing factor? I have been thinking about this more, and I realized that I have seen UV/heat lamps in a lot of hotel room bathrooms, presumably for the same purpose.
Plus Californians are pussies and opulents who can't have their ass feel cold. This too I feel is a contributing factor.

SanFran is full of assholes in its own right.
And it applies to a much larger area than just California. Do you remember my rant about people who move to Pheonix last night?

As the picture was taken by Mr. Snorkel taking a shit we can deduce in this exhibit that this heater is right in front of his toilet seat. Being that Mr. Snorkel lives in southern California, which is the south part of California, which is an area of the State of California, is still within and known as California, popular for market driven ideologies and less than healthy realities, my comment is spot on and bears some recognition. You are dismissed for the request.

ye, not going to argue that, but california also has A LOT of people in it and many of them aren't actually being fooled by market/media driven ideologies (aside, fuck san francisco). Some things happen in CA before they happen anywhere else, something about the Pacific Ocean I think
it also makes sense to me that superficial amenities like bathroom heaters and cheap electric fireplaces might be common in california because the cost of building apartments here, in terms of cost of materials/labor at least (but not regulatory/tax costs), is probably lower than parts of the country that get cold or otherwise have unpredictable weather.
but it serves socks's point that there are floor-to-ceiling-sliding-mirror-door-closets in every generic apartment I've seen here n_u

i mean most people have a mirror in their bedroom so it's convenient for them to just be on your closet and not taking up wall space or anything

also true
Kilgore trout call mirrors "leaks", as if they're windows to another dimension.
I love that idea
I am always a little hesitant to look directly in the mirror at night. When I stare at my face, my whole hea disappears into darkness, and when I glance away, I become demonic in appearance. I feel I don't recognize that person, or entity, we have no connection. Yet there it is, morphing within my reflection.
