Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

one one hand google is downranking pages that throw up a 'DOWNLOAD OUR APP' doorslam, on the other it's doing this wretched youtube doorslam that doesn't even have a close button

white goods that lie about their cycles

i started a 30-minute quick wash 25 minutes ago, and it's saying it's got 17 minutes to go

This very much. I was hand-washing some clothes the other day in the laundry and saw the countdown timer on the washing machine (on an 15-minute wash) jump from 4 minutes left back upto 11 minutes.

that one guy who beats you to the atm by half a second and farts around for four hours

also see: the TAP machines in the l.a. metro

and it's always retirement-age tourists who are terrified, nay, THREATENED by technology.

if retirement-age.tourists are trying to ride the metro you should fuckin cherish them imo

tv torrents that keep the "previously on" but cut off the end credits. idgi

i like end credits darnit

There's this place called imdb, ya know.

But I'm the same way, especially with this trend of squeezing the credits to half the screen and scrolling them twice as fast.

ugh I hate that

i don't care about reading the credits, i just don't like things ending so abruptly. also i have a tiny attention span when i'm watching on the computer and i'm always aware of exactly how far into the ep i am (and in movies, i hate doing this) and i spend like the last two minutes with this weird anticipation thing going on where subconsciously my brain's like "when's it gonna end, how many shots are left how long is this one gonna be" cause i'm weird and it makes me anxious and isn't an issue when credits are involved

but really it's like, you did this thing where you personally spliced off the credits at just the right moment as, i guess, a favor, but what's the point, what purpose does that serve

haha any complaint that begins with 'torrents' is automatically ia

the carafe for our coffee maker. the lid has a little dot on it, and you need to position that dot over the center of the spout for it to pour. but if you are even 1/8th of an inch off alignment, it will dribble coffee everywhere.

i can't be expected to be THAT precise first thing in the morning, goddammit

otm. appliances that expect you to work around their lazy design choices are the worst.

the dishwasher in this place has four washing modes (1, 2, 3, 4), but they're not increasing in time or rigour, they're just arbitrary numbers, e.g. 2 is eco wash and 3 is pots or something. it's also got a load of indicator lights that mean the following:

- a broom sort of thing: the cycle hasn't started yet
- an arrow pointing to a line: the cycle has finished
- a sun: we have no idea what that means
- a big S made of bendy arrows: again, absolutely no idea

meanwhile the rest of the universe can make a dishwasher that isn't baffling. idgi.

Sun = air drying the dishes? (as with laundry)

My work kitchen got this thing and everytime I see it, I'm alll aw for fucks sake what the shitl

"Tearing paper towels off the roll used to be so hard."

lol is it electric

Solar powered.

I kid, but excellent question.

my grandmother bought an electric one for my mother and she has to trot it out every time she visits

Sun = air drying the dishes? (as with laundry)

i just downloaded a manual (incidentally the company slogan is in COMIC SANS): the sun thing is a rinse aid indicator

nothing says 'rinse aid' like a sun

What is the S w/ bendy arrows?

My dishwasher has a "Normal Wash" and "Speed Wash" setting. The speed wash takes half the time. Why the fuck is there a normal wash setting if it can clean the dishes in half the time? Unless the speed wash is half-assed, in which case, why have it?

ikr? bizarre

What is the S w/ bendy arrows?

a salt indicator, apparently

i don't even know what salt is doing near a dishwasher

"time to salt the dishes, luv"

xp
Hardness of the water maybe?

And speed wash is probably for recently used/not very dirty dishes where normal is for dried-on food/extra greasy dishes.

it's for washing yr meth

As in, add salt to your water softener.

ah right

AA's dishwasher is cracking me up.

I'm surprised it doesn't have a diesel indicator lol

it has an on/off button

so its available states are:

- washing
- not washing
- not washing and also switched off

the only difference between on and off is that the broom light lights up

and watch out for salt

on that, i don't know whether the salt light means there is salt or there isn't salt

or too much salt, or a salt accident

Mine has a "normal" button. Wouldn't it be great if everything had one of those? ACK!

the only difference between on and off is that the broom light lights up

lolol

AA honestly I really can't imagine you with any other kind of dishwasher

bahahaha

it's rusty because we're in a rental. the glob of snot is actually blu-tack, to remind 'er indoors which inscrutable light means 'finished'

I see Play and Pause, where is Record?

That dishwasher heavily implies that you can record shit off of it

XP!!!!!!

mr veg said it looks like an Apple OS dishwasher

it's making me laugh

loool the broom

but this dishwasher goes to 4!
