No gas for you! Because poor black children’s asthma or something. Gas appliances are racist … and must be eliminated … for climate Justice or something.
I recently got a new dishwasher. The shortest cycle time available is 2 hours and 10 minutes. Some of the cycles are 3 hours long. How can that possibly be more efficient. Ten years ago the dishwasher was routinely done in an hour.
I get them dang dishes done in 10 minutes by hand and at the same time, I wash off my guitar fingers.
I also like the “zen” of stacking dishes on the old rack.
What can I say, I’m retired and do such things in slow time, and I am grateful for the opportunity in these latter days.
Happy New Year.
My Bosch DW has multiple 2+ hour long cycles … and ONE 1-hr cycle. However! You must use Rinse Aid to get the 1-hr cycle. I suspect the long cycles essentially air-dry the dishes … so they’re just sitting there drying in the DW for most of the 2+ hours. Why? Because the energy regulations don’t allow the machines to heat-dry anymore.
My 1-hour cycle works just fine.
The last new house we were in had a dishwasher. I think we used it twice in two years.
Is this like the Uber efficient clothes washers that use half the water? Yet you need to run them 2 or 3 times to get your clothes clean.
“The agency claimed that limiting these everyday appliances would eliminate roughly 420 million metric tons of “dangerous carbon dioxide emissions” over the next three decades, saving households and businesses $5 billion a year on utility bills”
at a cost of $100 billion a year…
ouch.
ouch ouch ouch ouch.
sooooooo lemme see, refrigeration, one of the bulwarks of progress, is the bad guy.
refrigeration that stretched food production and maintained its quality esp regarding toxins from rot, that saved more lives than were lost in the plagues and whatnot, is the bad guy.
are these ‘savings’ going to be swept away in much higher medical care costs treating oh, l dunno, a pandemic of salmonella? nah. lets go for the jackpot, BOTULISM from faulty canning, that being the alternative to refrigeration.
oops. nope, that out. it take huge amounts of en-er-gee to cook and thus sterilize the preserves.
l give up.
Welcome back to the 1830’s! Now shut up and DIE of food bourne illness.
Kenji, people do not like me saying this, but, those people have to die before they kill us all.
Where will Nazi Pelosi store her ice cream?
Oh, looks like my iPhone auto fill is not a Pelosi fan!
You won’t need expensive water wasting, carbon spewing, greenhouse gas emitting, energy consuming appliances when you’re eating crickets, if you have government approval to eat, I mean… Most of you (us) won’t, of course, having already been involuntarily euthenased; all for the greater good…
Man oh man! Can’t wait for Maytag Westinghouse and GE to stick his nose in his Depends on this!
As if….
My woke County is way ahead of President poopy pants …
