Epic fail

But Obamp is the antchrist!

My mum bought a new phone, first smart phone ever.

Except she couldn't make calls with it, it only worked in speaker phone mode. People could hear her talk but nothing coming out the phone, except in speaker mode.

Dutiful son searches on line, finds other similar complaints figures it's a faulty batch of phones (after treating her like an imbecile and assuming it's user error)

Spends ages with phone shop, till they give her new phone.

New phone arrives, same bloody problem...

One day while talking to her about the stylus she likes, she mentions that the reason it's great is it's got a plastic bit on string that fits in the headphone jack so she can't loose it...

Apparently, loading a dishwasher (which are the hight of laziness anyway unless you work in a kitchen) is "a typical task... that requires all the manipulative faculties that evolution spent hundreds of millions of years developing."

Well done evolution, we are now primed to be lazy fat sacks. Just get a sponge and was your own dishes.

I think the development in robotics is fascinating and has many good applications, this is not one of them.

Dishwashers tend to be more effective at cleaning and use less water.

But use more electricity.

But less gas.

Or you want to save water. Many dishwasher units use less water and energy than washing the same number of items by hand.

But use more electricity.

but less energy overall (assuming washing in hot water)

I wish I had one

#I'mTheDishWasher

I fucking love having a dishwasher, laziness be damned. The kitchen remains clean all the time and there's always a teaspoon when needed.

Paper plates if you're being posh or just eat out the takeaway cartons on less formal occasions.

i just stick the dirty dishes in the shower with me once a week.

/picks hair out from between teeth.

when you've finished stick the loufer in the kettle and boil for a nice tasty broth

I still say that washing dishes by hand uses less water and energy.
The comparative studies that I saw didn't seem to take into account the manufacture and transport of dishwashers and seemed to assume the normal way to handwash included running the water constantly or at least using a second sink full of hot water that had to be periodically re-warmed.
Also, people that come over often comment on what good shape our older dishes and cutlery are in - I think there's a correlation.
Besides, I sing better washing the dishes than when I'm taking a shower. (not a euph)
Oh, and ultimately the disposal costs and energy too.
Then you gotta buy another one.

Add the dish tabs costs into the equation

And salt

And then the costs associated with having to then handwash the things that didn't get cleaned properly because you didn't stack the dishwasher efficiently.

and a butler to load / unload the confounded thing.

Add the dish tabs costs into the equation

Dishwasher powder. 1/3 of the cost of tabs (unless the butler uses too much each time)

Butlers are paid to be measured in their responses all to situations, including measuring.
