I’m reminded of Bender:

“This isn’t even about you”

“That’s impossible!”

“I’m going to business school!”

I don’t use youtube for it’s riveting entertainment, I use it to learn things.

There are washing machines without anything more complex than a switch in them. If you really had a “pile of disassembled washing machines” you’d know that.

Doubt.

My electric bill changed by less than $2 per month when I installed an “inefficient” washing machine. It was so little that I’m not sure the washer was the cause. That’s $72 over a period of three years. The machine it replaced was just out of warranty and needed a $200 drain pump.

Does an old school washer dryer that runs off timer relays / knobs / push buttons really have a CPU?

Nope, it’s just a timer-drive. cam triggering switches. The physical cam IS the CPU.

We have reached a point in time where there are adults who think everything that runs through multiple steps must have a microcontroller, because only really really old machines* do without.

*For the most part. I bought a brand new whirlpool dryer late last year, and it has a mechanical timer in it.

Having a newer machine cost me slightly less money on utilities, and considerably more in washing machine parts.

There’s more to go wrong on an old washing machine and each control board was unique to the machine

What? Old washing machines just use switches and a cam that’s on a timer. Anyone who can read a basic schematic can figure out what is wrong with one.

I couldn’t imagine the stress of knowing what I know now and being sent back to when I was six years old. I’d be trapped with my parents.

I’d take the money. My wife is amazing, and we are very happy together, but a lot of things had to fall just right for us to end up together.

I have everything lying around to build one of these…

Now I have an excuse to drop Prime.

I bet it’s financed ar 29.9%

Guys like this are fun to bait past a speed trap in a little econobox.

The last time I made anything like a profile for tinder was when I made one for PoF back in the before times, in the long-long ago, the year 2007. I didn’t have fish pictures, but I did have a picture of me riding a unicycle.

It was more effective than I expected.

I used to work in a warehouse that had toilet paper like this.

Funny thing was, it was a warehouse full of toilet paper. So there was typically a roll of something better in the bathroom, sitting on top of the dispenser.

I wish one could play GTA games without the stupid Rockstar account.

Fox news hasn’t given them the new words yet.

Maybe because Peach wasn’t a simpering little thing with no agency who needed someone to clean up her whoopsies?

Well… that and she has seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

And… she remembered me doing it last year.

My ten year old kid said “Bring out your dead!” The last time we walked by one of the bell ringers. Im not sure if I should be proud or not.
