    This universe henceforth without a master seems to them neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stoneware plate, each mineral flake of that stainless steel-plated flatware, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the draining rack is enough to fill one's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus soapy.

      yes comrade i agree. real proles use a fossilized plankton juice turned into cancerous polymer utensils through incredibly unsustainable industrial practices, and then throw them in the trash after 1 use

    I am the scumbag bachelor. I keep my waterheater a little high so I can just autoclave my dishes when I am done and not have to stress about it

    Soft-ass middle class punks with dishwashers are going to get an unfriendly visit from the People's Red wash-every-dish-by-hand Army.

    I just use my dishwasher every day or two, even if it's not absolutely filled. Electricity isn't too bad, I rated the draw once years ago and I've got that good good :nuke: energy. It only uses like 1/4 as much water as handwashing, I have well water anyway, but still good. Just make sure it's performing well, a lot of people just have these damned clogged up ones that don't wash for shit. And learn to use a dishwasher properly, with a little detergent inside the door during the prewash cycle. Definitely none of that pod shit, just detergent powder or liquid detergent. There's a Technology Connections video or two about dishwashers that explains this stuff.

    The one I've got now is from like 2005 and was clogged as shit when I moved in. Sitting water at the bottom, not great. Disconnected the drain line under the sink and cleaned it with a small pipe-cleaner, poured hot water + baking soda into the bottom after removing the plastic blades and grate, then white vinegar and let it sit for ~10 mins while it bubbled ferociously. They're not particularly sophisticated machines, they just throw water around.
