Help me out please, Fediverse
Where might I find instructions for repairing a toaster oven that won't (reliably) turn off when it should? It's heating the right amount, just staying on too long. Internet searches just give me cases of toaster ovens not turning on or ads for a new one. It's probably 25+ years old and analog and I just want to keep it going longer

One of the consequences of #propertytax is that it causes #buildings to be #overvalued as #capital #investments, to such an extent that outdated/outmoded buildings fail to be replaced with newer. Much of the stock in the US was built before #insulation and should have been torn down and replaced long ago by more efficient structures that would have paid for themselves rapidly in embodied #energy and #material #savings. Buildings are durable #appliances, not #assets.

oh you think changing your in-cabinet install system in order to break compatibility is going to stop me? I GOT NEWS

da-dah da da dah dat! EAT IT, GE! I’ll MAKE my old one fit! 2023 microwave meet 1999’s mounting system and LIKE IT.

(Insult to injury the new ones are fugly slabs with zero airflow. 1999’s is better in literally every way)

Re: shopping for refrigerators. Anyone have strategies they’ve used?

Any stores, probably a chain, that employs people who actually know their appliances, not just a kid who would read the tags like we can?

I’m a little overwhelmed by the sheer mountain of models, product lines, etc. I added a handful of filters at Best Buy and there’s still roughly fourteen kajillion fridges to look at. #appliances #ApplianceShopping #questions

People of the Fediverse, I need your wisdom.
I've dried enough sheets on the "normal" and "bedding" settings in my LG dryer that I'm convinced that the bedding mode really does somehow keep the sheets from getting tangled.
I can't figure out how, and I'm intensely curious about it.
The obvious guess is that it alternates spinning in both directions, but I've watched it, and as far as I can tell it doesn't.
Please boost this to get it in front of the genius who knows the answer!

One dream that came true this time at #Pilchuck for me was to have a fruit party! I just started eating fruit this month and it's a whole new world! I also love the idea of making craft appliances that can act as functional sculptures.

This one is for parties- designed to mix fruit, people and ideas, it would be neat to make a big one with a weed whacker!
Smoothies only poured in #handmade cups!
