This depends on where you live in. AFAIK, in Europe dishwashers are not even hooked up to hot water, just cold. In America their standard plug electricity is weaker and therefore it's not enough for a dishwasher to heat the water hot enough to sanaitze.

This is the reason electric kettles are not a big thing in America (they take significantly longer to heat the water) and "home electrification" is a bigger deal there.

And as always, to anyone interested, Technology Connections talks about this in his videos on dishwashers, induction stovetops and kettles.

Not able to checkout, but my local library has a tiny maker space you can go in and use. It includes some crafting supplies, a sewing machine and a 3D printer. For using the 3D printer they have a stamp card you pay for at the start for hours of printing. It's not expensive, it's there mostly to help pay filament and prevent people from doing super long prints without thinking about it. For checking out they have movie and series DVDs and board games

My inlaws' cat makes makes it as difficult as possible to pet her when she likes it a lot. Doesn't sit still, if I pet her chin she twists her head away to show me the top of her head instead, keeps walking back and forth, and even lays belly up sometimes (and she does not like her belly touched at all).

I know she's liking it because she purrs like crazy, does not move away, if I stop looks at me until I start again. If in her walking back and forth I don't chase her and leave my hand out she moves into it for more pets.

I've developed some techniques to pet her two handed where she sits still for some reason. Like chin scritches with one hand coming from each side, she loves it.

I also don't understand why Windows hides it now and you have to dig around to re enable it.

I'm really happy with the one from IKEA, the bigger rectangular one. I've had it over a year. Not the prettiest, but if you don't dislike it it's alright

I have hibernate enabled in windows, and have it set for when I click the power button on the case it hibernates instead of sleep or shutdown. Hibernation means it's off, but it saves its state before it shuts down and restores it after turning on. Meaning I have the convenience of my startup programs being all booted up and open windows and programs are just as I left them. I shutdown the computer normally the last time I use it at night, so I have it freshly booted in the morning.

Personally I hate waste and walking away from a computer for more than a few minutes and leaving it on makes me uncomfortable. I know I'm weird and a bit on the extreme side, but it's how I feel, and the hibernation option is a good option that keeps most of the convenience of leaving it on or suspended.

Are you making a joke or is this a known thing?

When windows has updated and needs to restart it purposefully gets a bit slower/buggy to make people restart the PC.

I'm pretty happy with the one in my country. I once mixed up some medication times and they escalated to a doctor that then put me on hold to consult a pharmacist just to be sure. I would have spent 7 hours in ER just for a doctor to tell me that I was fine, and instead I just waited a bit on the phone.

USA, Land of the free ~~to pay~~ 🤷 in my country it's all completely free. Once I had a bad cold they even called me back the next day to check in if I was doing better.

Since you're in the US I imagine my method won't apply to you, but just in case, or for other people reading: in my country there is a phone number you can call in situations like this. They have doctors, nurses and specialists on call, initially you talk with a nurse that asks triage questions once you've explained your problem they give you advice for home treatment, if relevant, or send you to the correct urgency level care, including already sending the information on the triage questions to wherever you are going.

I just realized that last month was ADHD awareness month and I forgot. Ironic isn't it? Share your stories of stuff you remembered way too late!

 

I don't use TikTok at all, but I do watch compilation videos on YouTube sometimes. Lately there are some clips of livestreams of people doing really repetitive movements and phrases. What's up with that?
