As a bidet owner myself, there are models that have heated water options.
I only have experience with Toto Bidet's, but all of theirs I've tried have multiple heat settings for the water, seat, and dryer.
Not all heated Bidet's are created equal though. Depending on the model, they have a small reservoir of water they heat up, or use a tankless design. Both have pro's and con's. Tank designs have a small amount of water preheated so it's ready to go. But it is possible to drain it faster than it replenishes and you'll eventually get cold water.
Tankless designs don't run out of hot, but the first half second of the spray always seems to be cold as it's just past the heating element.

Hopefully you find this info useful.

    I once saw a man in Arkansas, who had a saw which could out saw any saw that it saw saw; the man said, "Have you saw a saw that could out saw the saw you saw in Arkansas? If you have saw a saw that could out saw the saw you saw in Arkansas, show me the saw saw."; when he said that I saw a saw, I said, "Yes I did saw a saw in Arkansas, and what a saw I saw, that saw saw!!"

    There were very small hints in my childhood and middle & high school, but the first real crack didn't happen until my 3rd year in college.
    I finished a round of beer pong at a party. I was taking a sip of the purple drank when shaking hands with the opponent. They shook harder than anticipated and I spilt it on my white shirt. A lady friend saw the spill and offered me her black, long sleeve, form fitting shirt. I accepted.
    I proceeded to receive several compliments from others at the party which I wasn't expecting, but it made me feel good. I eventually went home in that shirt (I returned it to her later that week) and when I looked in the mirror I finally saw why I was getting all of those compliments. And I agreed with them.
    I then slowly experimented with more fem clothing over the years (I was in a very conservative family and town which severely hampered my progress) and the more fem I went the happier I felt about myself. Before when I'd look in the mirror as a guy I'd just think, "That's me." Nothing negative, but nothing positive. But with fem clothing I actually felt happy with what I saw staring back at me.
    I didn't really see myself as trans yet; more a non binary/gender fluid. It wasn't until I finally tried E and saw what it did for me that I finally realized and accepted that I'm trans. And now I really like looking at myself in the mirror and get happy at what I see looking back at me.
    I still use they/them, but I'm sure I'll eventually switch to she/her. I also won't stop anyone from using she/her when referring to me.

    I installed a hitch receiver on my sedan pre-pandemic so I could do light truck stuff with it. I've been tempted to get truck nuts for it ever since because I think it would be funny.

    A semi is rated to tow tens of thousands of pounds, so this is absolutely nothing for one to do. And sometimes you need to transport multiple semi's to a destination but don't need multiple drivers to do it. This is probably the easiest/cheapest way to do it.

    I used to donate blood, but sadly a medication I take prevents me from doing so anymore. One time I even donated two units since they were particularly low on that type. You have my respect.
    I also help do compatibility testing for an emulator, though life has kept me from doing that recently.

    Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy for the PS2 had a roughly 1.5' x 2' fold out poster that had a map of the playable world with small bits of lore. It even had a short message from your uncle telling you good luck on your journey. The other side had an image of Jak & Daxter on the A-grav zoomer. This was way back in 2001.
    I remember as a kid pulling it out and reading it so many times that the corner folds started to wear out.

    Similarly, Ratchet & Clank also had a poster with all the weapons & gadgets you'd use with small bits of info for each item. The reverse side also had R&C, however I can't remember if Ratchet was just holding the Devastator or if they were on a grind rail.
    I miss getting those with the games. It made them so much more special and unique.

    That's the other thing, too. It's rare to be in a situation where you could inhale it. The only example I can think, which is also a rare situation, is if a vehicle that uses it is involved in some kind of accident and breaks the piece of carbon fiber. That could release it into the air causing you to breathe it in.
