Your version was so sharp, I cut myself.
Do you need medical attention?
If they live in the US, dear god I hope not
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
Even if they didn’t get to play, they still spent the whole day with a smile on their face - that’s more than what most of us can say…
Smiling on the outside…
Where does the mask end? Where do I begin?
That's my life...
If you stay awake a little longer, you don't get enough sleep.
That's where I'm at now.
Hour+ commutes and dishes are huge issues.
8+ hours at work is also issue.
Yeah that commute is soul crushing. Did it for over a decade
I'm offended
Buying a dishwasher has been one of the best things I did past year. So much free time now, and cooking is a lot relaxing, knowing that you can make a mess and then leaving it cleaning in the dishwasher.
I'm waiting for a Roomba dishwasher where it roams around the house picking up dishes, washing them and returning them to the cabinets.
I've seen 2 dishwashers built in to look like cabinets. One has clean dishes and the other has dirty ones, then you just swap which is which, when the dirty one gets full you run it and now it's the clean dish storage.
I don’t know if it needs saying, but getting a good quality one is the key. Cheap ones are noisy, wasteful, not durable, and do a poor job - to the point of having to partly wash your dishes before you wash them in the dishwasher. A good quality dishwasher will last, be quiet, and handle some pretty dirty stuff. That said, even commercial kitchen dishwashers don’t take everything off, so have some realistic expectations.
To come to the defense of noisy dishwashers...the loudest ones are like that because they have food grinders inside. That means you don't have to pre-wash dishes or do nasty periodic work to clear the inevitable debris from filters and traps and spouts over time. I'm sharing this because I only learned it last year, and after decades of quiet dishwasher marketing, I had assumed they were using some kind of amazing technology to wash better than the old noisy ones. They're not. They're all just swishing soapy water around in a box, and it's way cheaper to manufacture a box without a grinder in it.
I have a silent dishwasher currently, and I feel like we share the work about 50-50, the dishwasher 'n me.
Food grinders?
I have yet to have a disposal built in. Also, the noise isn’t supposed to last the entire wash cycle. All dishwashers I’ve had have a screen that requires occasional cleaning to prevent food from getting to the pump because the water is recycled in the machine for efficiency reasons.
Right, disposals have become rare in dishwashers since manufacturers started phasing them out many many years ago (again, they cost more to produce, so the industry switched to the filter system and wisely marketed the machines as "quiet"). They do still put grinders in a few higher end models but you have to look hard and pay more. GE has branded their hard food disposal feature as "Piranha." Maytag has a couple pricey models that combine grinder AND filter, with the soft promise that the filter will never need cleaning (prompting the question, is the filter actually doing anything?). They're out there.
But you were talking more about cheapo filter dishwashers that skimp on anti-vibration material, and you're right, they are the pits.
Eh...no. Grinder !=quality. It's just a feature, maybe it was more common back in the day, but like I said, I've never had one. Sure, there are plenty of cheapo dishwashers, but I can assure you if one were actually to purchase a dishwasher that is actually quiet, they aren't cheap.
Discovered something fun this week, in Norwegian the word for employer is "work-giver", but a bit of digging revealed that the alternative "work-buyer" existed but went out of use. I think people would sell their time and labor for more if the wording more clearly revealed the actual relationship.
One of these things is not like the others.
Don't do the dishes.
If you see her nose as her mouth, it looks like she has a double chin in the first three panels and a big gaping wound on her face in the fourth.
Omg, life... am I right?
Seinfeld: "What's the deal with doing stuff?"
Seriously. I keep seeing comics along these lines lately and they feel super boomer-esque in terms of humor.
