Is it dishwashable?

You can do this with most keyboards anyway. They just don't have the drainage/air holes that this one does. But even Apple's fancy aluminum bluetooth keyboards, toss them into the dishwasher, let it dry for a day, and everything's fine.


Heh I was all set to state how most electronics are washable, but you beat me to it The key part is the drying! Used to recondition washing machines and other domestic appliances, the control boards would always have a soapy residue covering them after a few years of use so we'd pull the boards, dunk them in a bucket of fairly hot water and then leave them out to dry before plugging them back into the washing machines.

Waitresses never tip the kitchen.

My first job ever was as a busboy/dishwasher at a French restaurant. Waiters and waitresses all tipped the kitchen. Not a lot, but an extra ten, fifteen bucks a night was pretty awesome when I was 15.


I worked as a busboy at a casino buffet for a short time in between jobs (worst job ever btw). I guess because it was a buffet or a casino or both, but the waitresses had to pool tips and share a percentage with the other staff. Waitresses there also made minimum wage like everyone else, unlike at restaurants that pay lower wages to waitresses.

If my computer ever got that dirty I'd just run it through the dishwasher.

Then, within 3-5 days FedEx would deliver me a nice, clean one.

Fridges built in the 1950s still work just fine and look fantastic. Does that mean we should all be using them? Of course not. They weighed a ton more, used 'environmentally unfriendly' coolant, and were much less efficient. So even though the old timey 1950s fridge is not 'obsolete' in the sense that it is still functional, it very much IS obsolete in the sense that modern options are far superior.

This concept that every product ever made should be some sort of immortal, immutable Jungian archetype is just some person's idiotic fantasy. I've had the same fridge, microwave, dryer and dishwasher for over 14 years. Our clothes washer was also that old and was still working like a champ, but I got a new front-loader because they are more efficient. As my life goes on, I will replace these older 1990s appliances with newer ones that are better. And I will not feel either (A) guilty about it or (B) ripped off as if I was somehow being gypped.

That's some textbook dishwasher loadin' that is.

@ghark
Even small liberal arts schools with no science departments or interactions with corporations have had sky-rocketing costs.
Doubling the size of university bureaucracies probably played a role. Other factors like skyrocketing healthcare costs & transitioning into complex technological organizations probably did as well.

You may want to research the education system a little more deeply before making criticisms of those that decide to pursue academia. The US education system is becoming increasingly privatised, and the corporations making the profits are often underwritten in part by public funding. Can you think of another situation where risk is placed on the taxpayer, but profits go to the corporations? Do you think it's fair?
In addition, go research the cost of education in the US in the 1980's and then compare the increases in education cost compared to the CPI, you might be a little shocked. Perhaps back in the 1980's your argument held some merit, but we're in 2011, you may as well type purple monkey dishwasher 15 times for all the weight your argument holds.


Which schools are you referring to, and what costs have skyrocketed? I'm not disagreeing, but by simply saying costs have sky rocketed, you're being a little vague. My point was also not that costs shouldn't be increasing more than the CPI, but simply that because they have, Rychan's point that people are getting themselves into their own mess is very misplaced, things have changed since that viewpoint was valid - even with a job these days many people struggle to pay off student debts (as the Fox interviewer mentions).

And it also comes back to the issue, should education be considered a human right? If it really is a stupid idea to educate yourself in America these days (as Rychan seems to suggest is the case for many people), perhaps something should be done? Just because it may be a bad economic decision to educate onseself doesn't mean the only other option is to remain uneducated, you can pursue policy change that leads to a better education system, take a stand!

I agree with you on the bureaucracies issue, I actually worked for my local University for a while, the pay was good, the job was easy, and the management layers were incredibly deep, we had around 10-11 layers from the lowest workers to upper management. The focus was on marketing; we wanted to present the best image we possibly could to potential Australian tertiary students, it's a numbers game, the more students we had the more profit we made. I was there for presentations from our upper management (such as the pro vice chancellor) and the issues always revolved around the economics of university business and getting published in as many journals as possible rather than the quality of teaching.

Did I miss the $200,000 checkbox on my student loan application? Where did you get "200k" from? Definitely not from this...

"Wow...so you think college should cost you your entire life?"
I don't. Do you? Some people must, though, when they take 200k of student loans for a degree that is not worth the investment.
"really mother fucker? Really? You're an idiot."
Nice.


200k was an upper bound so that people didn't accuse me of underestimating the problem. Yes, the average is much lower and thus the whining is even less justified.
Also, it's ridiculous to say that you need to be rich to go to college. Every state has reasonable, inexpensive community college systems and moderately priced state universities that can give you a great education. People manage the 6 figure debts which they can't repay by going to second tier private colleges and majoring in liberal arts.

such co-operation with just mind and body... feels magical even coming through my screen .. i got chills


If i could promote a comment, i'd promote this one. Excellently expressed that little tingle i got when i learned what they were doing the other day.

@ghark i think you have misunderstood the point being made.
