  • Most dishwasher pumps rely on the water flow generated while running to remain cool under normal use. When I say that they burn out, I mean that the motor literally burns its wires bad enough that the electric signal no longer carries properly.

    All it takes for this to happen is for the motor to run for a length of time without anything going through it, which bubbles can and do prevent happening. You will find this in nearly every single pump that pushes water: the design requires water running through it in order to maintain proper temperatures.

    Dishwashers often have a single pump for water flow, so if the washer fills with bubbles and the water gets low enough, the one thing that cools the dishwasher motor can easily stop running for a couple hours, despite technically being surrounded by water.













  • It very strongly depends on which ISP they have. There’s a few that make it easy. There’s a much larger number that can be hacked by a competent pc person (which I’ve done). There’s also a small amount who have worked to make it impossible / hard to do, and don’t have any public info on the process.

    My ISP is att fiber, and all I had to do was change the vlan id on the outgoing side and match the ip settings to make it work. I used the guides from https://pon.wiki/ to do it, and the discord is also incredibly helpful.

    Of note, this used to be impossible / very difficult so you’ll still find forum posts saying it can’t be done. However, a couple nerds have changed that over the past two years so make sure your info is up to date before deciding it can’t be done for your specific setup.




  • In control enough of your finances enough to know about how much you spend on food, fun, and other living expenses, as well as awareness of how much you have (or dont have) available for spur of the moment things like bar trips or whatever on a paycheckly basis.

    Bonus points for saving for plans for this year, to include that concert you wanted to see. Bonus bonus points for having some sort of plan for retirement beyond social security and walmart greeter.



  • You know, I expect that the generational divide will change which ads people connect over, but I don’t think that the majority of people will stop using them as a way of connection.

    The new hotness is making fun of raid shadow legends, and I expect there’s several others I just don’t know about as well.


  • I know several people who only watched the Superbowl for the advertisments / halftime show.

    Regardless of how shitty it is, one of the big cultural touchstones is also the advertisements they played on tv when someone was growing up. A lot of people use ads as another way to connect with a new person; meeting a other local to your area means you can mention a particularly overplayed ad from childhood and likely be able to find another person who saw it growing up too.
