  • Wow you totally reminded me of this building I managed several years back now, and they all had washing machines with that only filled a few inches, maybe 8 at most.

    It was explained to me by my appliance tech, perhaps he’s not entirely correct on somebody may inform me better… But he said they were built to some water savings standard from california, and rather than making different models for different markets, they just foisted the low water ones on people.

    I remember endless grieving from residents. I also remember a very common complaint of the person above them using their washing machine for 9 hours a day. Well fucking yeah, try having two working parents and three kids and seeing how much laundry you can get done in those pieces of shit!




  • Yeah but it the scheme of life you’re not out much.

    I used to repair/rebuild TVs as part of my side hustle and I can absolutely confirm Hisense are the worst for parts, and no they don’t sell them! But also think about it… they’re shit products and the capacitors on the inverters burst constantly. You’d get another year before the replacement went byebye so really? Some products you just want out of your life. If it helps you feel better.

    Hisense are just disposable TVs. It’s hard for me to accept that’s how ridiculous it’s gotten with the churn of tech and gadgets.

    Holy moly the stories I could tell you about how repair un-friendly they purposely make TVs… but I don’t want to get myself all wound up lol





  • Humans have an innate way of telling time. When you think about it, where would this sense come from?

    Turns out that there is actually a small chunk of the brain that is dedicated to keeping time. And that system synchronizes with similar systems throughout the body to keep them synchronized.

    And that primary system figures out how to align its own “clock” by connecting to other parts of the brain like the nerve paths of the eyes. It’s not fully understood yet, but at the very least we know that incoming light can have an effect.

    This time-keeping functionality is critical for telling the body when to wake, sleep, be active, etc.

    And it’s the equivalent of a pendulum in a grandfather clock… It ticks back and forth at a predictable rate. But it’s biomechanical in a sense that it runs on electrical and chemical signals, not a spring driven thing like in a physical clock.
