Look out grandma! Those are going to become cripsy apples.

We always leave the door open. The amount of mold has gotten awful at times and I even live in a pretty arid climate. I never had this issue with top loaders.

Thanks! I've been frustrated by my LG and won't buy one again. I've disassembled it twice to clean out mold. I think I'll try Bosch next time. I love my Bosch dishwasher.

Huh, what brand? Having a smart one didn't bother me so long as it didn't require a connection, so maybe I didn't look THAT hard.

It can actually be a little hard to find models from major brands without wifi. That said, there is no reason that you have to give it access to your router. I worry that they'll start saying that a wifi connection is mandatory at some point, though.

"I'm gonna sue!" seems to be his version of "I'm telling! You're going to be in such big trouble!"

They're going to let the shutdown happen but they're not going to point the blame where it needs to go. They're going to be spineless and let the Republicans blame them for the shutdown.

They absolutely have to shut it down. That said, if they lose the messaging game (they will) they will absolutely lose this fight.

They didn't interpret it that way. They are using its ambiguity to justify weaponization of the DHS.

What are the consequences of a bad threat assessment? Hopefully it just means he'd never need to be close enough to Trump to smell his diapers.

It is only both sidesing if you don't understand satire. He is pretending to be a right-wing pundit but rephrasing what they say in such a way as to point out how bad the right-wing talking points are.

This is stupid. That said, calling for the FCC to regulate Fox isn't going to happen. They don't have jurisdiction over cable channels. Find another way to get fox to fire their aspiring mass murderer.

How can we save Colorado and New Mexico from this hypothetical "Central States of America" hell hole?

I've tried a few things. It gives back things like "this is a gambled version of this other common saying" or "that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use".

It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.

 

I'm a white guy from a fairly non-diverse city. I was at a grocery store today where a cashier opened up their line to serve me and, I thought, the person behind me. As they were serving me, though, they put up their lane closed sign right in front of the black man behind me. The buy was just trying to purchase some tuna, bread, and peanut butter.

The cashier basically decided to serve me, a middle class white man, but refused to serve the black man behind me. I was so shocked that I didn't say anything. It is possible that I misunderstood the situation but it seemed so blatant.

What should I have done in this situation? Should I have spoken up? Would that have just been more embarrassing for the man who was being discriminated against?

Honestly, I'm still just in shock to see someone treated so poorly when they were simply trying to buy food for themselves. I recognize that means that I'm sheltered but I also feel like I should be able to use my unearned privilege to help others who are being discriminated against.

 

 

I keep running into issues where I'm unsure of which account I'm currently using. It would be nice if it were more obvious at all times. Two things that would help me are:

  • always display the current user somewhere, regardless of what content is being viewed.
  • allow setting different color themes for different users.
