Oh okay sorry. I intended to post a discussion thread and not a news article.

What is the appropriate community for such posts?

Nope, still in Turkey. Hoping to gtfo of the oligarchy asap.

People in this country don’t really like me so I kind of embraced foreign social media as a way of escaping reality. You may call it a “online gurbet” i guess.

Life is better these days since I’ve gotten a really nice irl safe space of mostly Boğaziçi students.

I hope the situation is better outside

Lots of people recommended Zojirushi in this thread. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks

incredibly inconvenient

Imagine sitting in the corner near the plug with your weird resistive heater waiting for the water to get hot. You’d probably become the laughing stock of the whole campus pretty quickly

Also, things get pretty heavy when you have a 4 hour daily railway commute. There has been times when I didn’t take a bottle of water because it hurt my back

So I’ll just stick to carrying grounds and buying hot water. It costs practically nothing compared to my current habit of buying coffee which is a huge hole in my budget

It is pretty commonplace to sell hot water in my country?

Because bringing a heater with you is hard, the places which sell tea will also fill up your cup with hot water. For a fair price usually +5TL (~0.1 cent) more compared to bottled water of the same amount.

I can bring a heater and spend my university’s electricity for it but why would I so that when hot water is already very cheap.

edit: I just remembered my school’s water dispensers have a hot water tap. Students drain those very quickly though so I gotta go there right after my lecture ends
