As for cellphone use, one of the reasons I stopped associating with a certain friend was his obsession with looking at it. We would go to a restaurant, and he would have it out over half the time. Between that and his obsessive hate for someone he didn't even know, I had enough, so no longer see him.

Tom, I can certainly understand your views of that type of behavior.
People get SO wrapped up in that tiny screen, they ignore everything around them.
One thing about that "addiction" that's beneficial to me is.....
It's a VISABLE addiction.
Unlike someone who does drugs, or is an alcoholic, who you can't know for certain if they're "fit" to be friendly or associate with.
I dislike being around someone who ignores me, or puts me in the background because of their idiotic habit.
I dislike having the feeling that I'm interrupting their precious focus.
It's, in simple terms, inconsiderate and rude.
I'm a big fan of dishwashers. I load mine up during the day and run it at night. I would choose to do my laundry in a wringer washer before I'd give up my dishwasher.

Just don't try to do your dishes in a wringer washer, because those wringers are hell on fine china.
Recently had that experience in the grocery store. A guy in his 60's was blasting a tune from Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet album (can't remember the song now) from his phone while shopping.
Tacky
Also heard the song "Wanted Dead or Alive" from the same album in the doctors office early this year. Just seemed inappropriate.
It also reminded me how much times have changed, how much time has passed, and how old I'm getting.....which also offended me

We deal with it as best as we can.
No no no... Pick the chicken bones off and let the dog pre-rinse everything else!
I had a couple of NDE's, what comes after this is far better!
Turn down the water heater or temper the DW line. Also select Pots and Pans or Heavy Wash to default to the next higher level that gives you extra wash time.
What was the model # of the Power Clean that did that? Early model Power Cleans tended to have a short main wash is the thermal hold was skipped or met instantly.
Medical conditions? Accidents? I'm curious. Can you elaborate in the off topic section of the forum?
7 minutes? The Power Cleans I imagine have a 40 minute main wash and a sani rinse like no other:
The nice thing about a long timed main wash and final rinse being that no matter the incoming temperature the main wash always has enough time to scour baked on and burned on items. If the inlet temp is hot enough you can also get 190*F water (as limited only by the heater thermostat) since the heater runs the whole wash cycle.
A good clothes washer should heat its own water too. It would be more energy efficient and would mean that the hot water cleaning the clothes would have less linear footage in which to cool down.
When I first used a European machine in 1978 it was clear to me that the US was falling behind in white goods engineering and design. And with our current chauvinist so-called government the race to the bottom is accelerating.
