Indeedy. Hitler didn't want to destroy the country, didn't defund scientific research, had advisors who knew what they were doing, didn't sell state secrets to the USSR, didn't want to destroy nature... I can't believe I'm defending Hitler.

The water is really hard where I live, the limescale pretty much neutralises the vinegar. And a lot of rinse aid is citric acid or vinegar anyway!

Have you considered buying a dishwasher without this connectivity nonsense? They still sell them, you know.

 

They've stopped sponsoring SF Pride, even though their "we're so inclusive" bits on their website are still up.
