Folding is the worst.

At least with my laundry when I take an article of clothing out of the basket to fold you can tell the volume in the basket is reducing. Each item is large enough that the difference is notable.

But when I take a piece of kids' clothing out, it's not noticeably less in the basket. It just feels like an endless amount of clothes.

This is a pretty silly mindset. I cook every day. I like to use high quality tools for my cooking. That includes high quality kitchen knives. Those shouldn't be dishwashered. It ruins the handles and dulls the blade.

Same with my nice cast iron pans. And wooden cutting boards.

I also have several very large pots/bowls/etc that are just too large to fit in the dishwasher.

The dishwasher is an extremely useful tool, but it's pretty ridiculous to limit what kitchen tools you're willing to use simply because they aren't compatible with another kitchen tool.

There's really nothing he can do about it at this point short of completely disappearing from the public eye. He's so thoroughly fucked his reputation that anything associated with him is fucked by extension.

Even if he completely leaves any interaction with politics at all, he still has SpaceX, Twitter, and Tesla that will all maintain his status as a public figure. He's not going to de-Nazify twitter. Telsas aren't going to suddenly become good cars without a reputation of being swastikcars.

The only way he could stop being bullied by "the left" is if he sold off every company he owns and disappeared into obscurity. Even then, he'll still get roasted online all the time. But if he avoids social media he could probably ignore it.

But that would all go directly against his nature. So there's nothing he realistically would do that could get "the left" to stop being mean to him. It's the rest of his miserable life.

Only 20 minutes?!?! I do have a dishwasher, and I still spend well over 20 minutes hunched in front of the sink cleaning dishes that can't go in the dishwasher every day.

Not OP, but I'm 6'6" (200 cm). I'm ALWAYS hunching over in the kitchen.

With kids it's so much worse. I clean the entire kitchen at least 3 times a day, usually more.

Did you see him drop Ohio State’s trophy the other day?

Maybe he dropped the Pope?

Pat the bunny recently came out of retirement and released a new album called Friends in Real Life. It's quite good, as is pretty much everything he's ever done.

I haven't noticed any moderation issues on lemmy.dbzer0.com

Mind if I ask what exactly you feel like is being censored?

I could go on a sub like NoStupidQuestions or AskElectricans, etc where someone would ask a question about some super obscure topic I happen to be knowledgeable on. I could write a long, in-depth response which would then get dozens of responses and further questions. I'd be engaged in the same conversation about this topic or that for days.

Here, it feels like 99% of conversations are about IT/programming, which is not my field, or about American politics.

If you wanna get into a really heady topic, see what happens when you put a piece of strut or gnd wire or another power wire in between parallel runs of power wire per phase on a three-phase AC system

I did a tenant fit-out in a new building where the base-building was still under construction by a different electrical contractor when we started our buildout. The building had a penthouse switchboard that was fed with 5 parallel sets. Except the other EC pulled it as 1 phase per conduit. So they had 1 conduit with 5x a-phase conductors. Another with 5x b-phase, etc. Even 1 conduit with just 5x EGCs.

I noticed it because we had to pull a new feed into their switchboard right before permanent power got turned on to the building. This was literally the day before the utility was supposed to turn on power, They were this close to turning on a 2000A feeder with a single phase per conduit. And it was all metal conduit. They'd have burned that whole damn building down.

I told them they did it wrong and were going to start a fire. They didn't believe me at first, so I had to escalate it to my GC's safety coordinator, who had to bring it to their safety coordinator. They refused to call the utility to cancel turning on permanent power, so my safety guy and I had to intercept the utility guys when they showed up on site to tell them not to turn on power. Man was that other EC's foreman PISSED, but he eventually did have to pull it all out and repull it correctly.

this made me completely lose any sense of my place in reality

This is precisely why they used to (and still are sometimes, although not as often) be used for pilot and astronaut training. All the astronauts who went through the early Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions trained on one.
