Today's big question

A sudden attack of shoppingitis developed into lamp-shopping at Saty tonight. There is just no way I can live with the furnished fluorescent lighting. Didn't buy anything and decided to check around for prices at other dept. stores and the second-hand shop first. Got drenched by rain on the way back and hot showered for the first time here.

Hot shower is the topic of today's big question. There is a temperture adjustment for hot water in my apartment, which ranges from 36 to 60 celsius and HI. Curiously, 37, 47, 49-59 are missing. Big question #1: why? And what's the point of having a digital adjustment if I can't set the water to match the average human body temperature at 37 degrees celsius? It's really annoying that I can't do this. Big question #2: should I set the shower temperature using the dial, or should I stick with the good'ol hot water/cold water mix method? For some reason, at certain levels of water flow, the cold water knob vibrates violently, which is not only bothersome but potentially dangerous (if the knob somehow blew off) as the knob is incoveniently located at my crotch level (I am plagued by the fear of genital trauma that is common among all males, but I realize that the violent vibration may be viewed in a different light had my genitalia been different). As a result, some temperatures are unattainable through the mix method. I wonder if I can find the perfect shower temperature using just the digital dial? This would require days of careful and repeated experimental showers, but the end result may take me to the next level of shower bliss.
