Why would they, most of US tech is in on the dystopian dream

Overbooking, essentially breaking the contract, and having the police beat a nonviolent doctor unconscious is big money fucking that individual over and the government is complicit. If you think that only voting is going to bring about all the change that would be needed to stop that behavior, please look at the bigger picture.

A 5 gallon bucket can carry 5 gallons of water. It is also capable of carrying 5 gallons of bleach. Just because those two things are true it does not mean bleach == water. I didn't mention those idiots.

Just to be clear to anyone reading this, please vote. Please vote in your local elections. I just don't think voting alone is going to change violent behavior from big corps. History has shown us how fast companies can take power, and how they can rival or exceed the cruelty of Nazi Germany, look at many of the large trading companies back in the day. They did horrific, horrific shit. Look at all the examples of the terrible shit companies pull today. Companies have committed genocides, we just remember them differently than the Nazis because they lost the war and all their PR people. But companies have more PR people than ever.

Just like "backlash" for United beating that doctor didn't change shit, you can vote, but United will pay the politicians.

So yeah I stand by that comment, and its relevance to the comment thread something else is needed to change the course, but we still need to keep voting.

It's not going to be legislation that takes us off of the current path.

Yeah, no. American oil might not be the biggest money these days, but if he nuked Oklahoma there would be some really pissed off oil tycoons.

On further thought, dump is absolutely dumb enough to be tricked into doing this by the rat selling it as some kind of short sale scheme and becoming the fall guy.

Nice call on the Rick Roll.

As general rule you should look at where a URL goes as well as what the link text.

A big ass link that is pointed towards tinyurl should have set off alarm bells for everyone who clicked the link.

That was slick @owl

Kagi

This isn't one product, it's an entire division of a very very large company. It's profitable. The entire category of dishwashers as an appliance is not a lost leader.

Most of the muskrats "wealth" is in stock. Tesla is valued at more than every other car company in the world put together because a whole lot of dipshits think that a company can grow forever instead of looking at the actual financial data. There are going to be a whole lot of bagholders on that one. The point is if you think every company can operate like Tesla, I would encourage you to do a whole lot more reading. Tesla needs to be profitable at some point to stay alive anyway.

I'm pretty sure MisterOwl is a turf account, but there is a chance that they really are this dumb.

They do need to be profitable to last as a company. Whirlpool won't be bailed out by the world's richest dipshit.

And the search actually returns relevant results, not a bunch of ads. If you have used free search your whole life, it kind of sucks to pay for it, but I would rather pay for searching than be a product people pay for every time I search. It doesn't take much thought to see why being the product will always lead to a worse search platform.

And that's why it's so cool that Kagi has an option to limit your search to the fediverse.

If you are using FedEx ground, you might wait forever on a decent percentage of those letters.

I have never had USPS leave a package half torn open, closer to the sidewalk than my gate. I know it showed up like that and in that position from camera footage.

Thanks FedEx ground, you fucking garbage collection of contractors.

What country do you think supports the American dishwasher companies if Americans don't?

I understand that you are probably living in a big city, but holy shit you actually believe Americans don't own dishwashers?

I would really like to know your line of reasoning on that.

You sweet summer child

No worries, I am a fan of pedantry. The amount of involved in the response was just me getting mentally stuck in a washing machine hole.

Most(maybe all) HE washers don't have mechanical flaps that hold back the liquids, they sit in plastic cups that empty by an overflow or auto syphon system when water comes out of a tube located above that tub or cup. It's a fancy plastic cup. Every plastic common to appliance manufacturing is resistant to 5% acetic acid. Chemical resistance of plastics chart

I just looked at the fabric softener cup in my washer, it's HDPE(high density polyethylene). If you look at that chart you will see polyethylene is resistant to even concentrated acetic acid. The plastic bottle the vinigar comes in is made from a lower density polyethylene.

By the time the vinigar leaves the cup is already being diluted by the fill water causing it to overflow or start the auto syphon. It will not damage your washer, but even if it did, you can buy replacements for the entire soap tray for relatively little online. The same can be said for most other appliance parts with the notable exceptions being large motors and some brands control boards. There are tons of write ups, tutorials and videos on how to fix broken appliances and replace parts.

Yeah if you can use just a splash you might have water soft enough to not require anything.

1/2 cup to 1 cup is the sweet spot for my water, 1/4 cup on a very small load.
