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

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.

i just downloaded a manual (incidentally the company slogan is in COMIC SANS): the sun thing is a rinse aid indicator
― Autumn Almanac, Friday, 21 June 2013 23:41 (ten years ago) link
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?
― i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:15 (ten years ago) link
ikr? bizarre
a salt indicator, apparently
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:17 (ten years ago) link
i don't even know what salt is doing near a dishwasher
"time to salt the dishes, luv"
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:19 (ten years ago) link
xpHardness 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.

I'm surprised it doesn't have a diesel indicator lol
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:57 (ten years ago) link
it has an on/off button
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:01 (ten years ago) link
so its available states are:
- washing- not washing- not washing and also switched off
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:02 (ten years ago) link
the only difference between on and off is that the broom light lights up
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:03 (ten years ago) link
and watch out for salt
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:07 (ten years ago) link
on that, i don't know whether the salt light means there is salt or there isn't salt
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:08 (ten years ago) link
or too much salt, or a salt accident
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:09 (ten years ago) link
Mine has a "normal" button. Wouldn't it be great if everything had one of those? ACK!

That's a rake, not a broom.

I think it rakes up all the broken dish pieces at the bottom of the dishwasher
― i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Saturday, 22 June 2013 03:17 (ten years ago) link
That's not even a rake, it's one of those things you see kept on the side of a sandtrap.
