This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.

Not to mention that newer low end Bosch dishwashers require an account and app for some functionality.

There's tradeoffs - simplicity, repairability, efficiency.

Take washers, for example. I was looking at Speed Queen washers to replace mine. On paper they are great, more durable. But it turns out that while they have physical knobs and switches, newer models still hide a circuit board inside, so the gap between commercial and consumer models is shrinking (and not in the direction we want.)

The Speed Queen washers also have nearly half the capacity of off the shelf consumer washers, and use twice the amount of water and electricity. I did the math, and at the current utility and washer prices I'd break even replacing the washer every 5 years.

Furthermore, the local appliance repair shop that I trust told me it could take them weeks to get replacement parts for Speed Queen. For a laundromat that's not a huge deal when it's one washer out of twenty, for a single machine home it's a problem.

Yes, I do wish that consumer appliances were more reliable. But barring that, the next best thing is easily and quickly repairable, and on that matter there's brands that are qualitatively and quantitatively better in that regard than others.

The two folders' . would be different.

It's time we upgrade the icon to Zip drives, or maybe Sony memory sticks.

Getting Shuttle PC vibes from the form factor.

I'm leaning towards shoop instead of AI slop - it looks like the original was a clear puffy jacket, and the beer and straw were shopped in.

The blood is too localized. Even a small cut will bleed all over the place, and definitely drip or run down the arm. That hand has finger paint on it.

Soda Stereo was the pinnacle of Argentine rock. Their farewell tour concert sold out and was televised. "De musica ligera" was their most popular song, and the last song they played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX-us7PEfkc

Now look up threads for the Bolt EV/EUV, or just search "bolt EV brake rotor rust." On the very first Bolt EV forum result I got, one responder mentioned not noticing rust, while the next one pointed out that they lived in California and that OP was in Canada. Road salt will absolutely do a number on exposed elements, which includes the brakes.

No. The burden of proof is on you.

These are things I know from first hand experience. Talk to any EV mechanic in Canada, they will tell you the same thing.
