I saw a few commercials for this. Whoever wrote the verbiage did a really good job. It sounds like so much while actually saying nothing at all. I'm stumped. What exactly does this stuff physically do to the clothes and what is the physical effect? I'm willing to bet the real world effect is...

Congrats on the purchase! It looks like some of the tines on the racks fold down. That was my favorite thing when I was a kid. My mother would scream, "That won't fit in the dishwasher! It's too big! You'll have to do it by hand!" And of course the foldable tines allowed the 'too big' item to...

#19 And here's me just thinking it's a strange 'o'. Older Polish cursive literally separates the loop and down stroke of 'd' so it looks like 'ol'....... So what's weird about a broken 'o'? Point is I'd never've gotten 'Acme' out of that. Thank you.

If alcohol doesn't bother you a 1/4 shot of 100 proof vodka or your preference works well. Actually, I'm told scotch is the longest lasting and most effective with babies. You dip your finger in the scotch and rub your finger tip on the gums.

#32 Thanks for the info. I'll check the link after work. IIRC, the guy did the experiment did them all on his machines at home. He gave all the numbers he used for his calculations (basket size, dry weight of the bath towels, etc.) to ensure it was as much an 'apples to apples' comparison as...

Congrats! That is beyond cool. When you mentioned the spin speed my knee-jerk response, "Wow! I think that beats all its rivals save Bendix." Since my memory is correct ..... How did Speed Queen get around the patents Bendix was holding onto and produce that 500+ spin? What was the Hotpoint's...

i have a friend who's bilingual (English 1st, French 2nd), is a published author, an historian who routinely guest lectures at Ivy League and second tier colleges, moderates and MC's countless debates, conferences, hosted the Gannick awards a few years back. He needs to clone himself to keep up...

I've found the temperature of the hot water has a lot to do with how well a dishwasher works. What temps are used for government tests? For any reviews? What's the incoming hot water temp for the people satisfied with the machine's performance? For those UNsatisfied? What % of satisfied...

To be fair, neither nuclear power nor sun or wind are anywhere near their full potential. Nuclear: What I've read suggests that nobody is seriously bringing back the the power plants of the 70's. IIRC what's suggested are small plants that new technology allows to be much less dependent on...

""I said what's wrong with this thing? It doesn't clean the dishes right," he continued. "The women come up to me, the women who they say don't like me -- they actually do like me a lot. Suburban women, please vote for me. I'm saving your house. I'm saving your community. I'm keeping your crime...

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm afraid I must have one of the least refined palates in the coffee-drinking world, lol. If I had that kind of discretionary cash at hand there're many things I'd do and buy before I got around to something like this......

I blame people who don't know much of anything about anything influencing state-wide secondary education. When I started teaching in the mid 90's my HS had an auto shop program, a horticulture program, and one more I can't recall. Students who took and passed the full range of courses graduated...

Thanks. Putting aside the tenants' lack of understanding about how the system works and the need for cleaning....... If the convector is keeping the rooms warm or cool (temp-wise) enough without a problem, how likely is it that replacing the convector would increase...

I'd like to run a situation by you to make sure I haven't missed anything major..... My mid-60's building ( ~200 apartments and 14 floors) has a 2-pipe heat/cool system. The air handlers (aka 'terminal units') are original. At the latest board meeting (just before the switchover from cooling to...

"I've learned to never pose more than one question at a time in an email or text." Too true. That's a recipe for a gibberish response.

#4 Exactly. It's like the person either didn't read the question or doesn't know anything about the product. Being able to force companies to hire competent people to answer questions through email is #3 on my superpower wish list.

Yeah, that's automated screening for you. I've kind of stopped noticing when this happens to me TBH. It would be interesting to see what the reply is. Don't be surprised if it fails to address the issue. I'd say that of all the emails I send to businesses at least 2/3 get no response. Of the...

"Imagine the developments if there was no War." Lol! I was going to say that but I had an online gig to get ready for so I skipped it. Yes, totally! It seems like there were a lot of technological improvements that were just getting off the ground or had been 'invented' and worked, but at...

"Fashions, interior design, etc... all scream 1930's "modern design" streamline Art Deco era. " Yeah, that alarm clock hit me right off as from the 30's. I kind of kept waiting for the 'new' things to be introduced. The stove knobs and coffee maker jumped out at me as from the 30's as well. The...

"I once built a box with 2 200 watt light bulbs and a shaded pole fan for drying shoes, sneakers and umbrellas. Guess what, it worked!" Awhile back I went looking on eBay and Amazon for those oversized towel warmers redesigned for clothing and i found a dozen permutations of the above. While...
