Even if it didn't have the option, all you'd have to do is open up the front panel and rip the beeper off the board. That's what I do to my microwaves that can't be muted.

Many home appliances have hidden codes you can use to adjust settings like this, including making them silent. They usually come up if you search for “Sabbath Mode”.

Having washed dishes for a while, actually no. A commercial dishwasher only takes ~2 minutes to cycle and dry. They run hot as all fuck. It's the people like me you wanted to be faster. Commercial dishwashers are not as good at getting food off plates. Any crap left on the plate will get spread on everything else, so you have to pre-wash everything first. You should really do it at home too, but most of the reason a…

My dishwasher manual specifically tells me not to pre-rinse.

Commercial dishwashers sterilize dishes with high heat and steam. It's expected for dishes to be sprayed first by the person doing dishes with a high pressure hose to rid solid food before wash cycle.

Consumer dishwashers instead let enzymes do the work.

So, different applications.

Because their brain is working normally. The dataset it was trained on is just bad.

I think they already use professional dishwashers that blast the dishes clean in about a minute. This guy has one at home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnKAVFBIH1c

This french company sells 'Bob', a miniature restaurant-like dishwasher: https://daan.tech/ch/discover-bob-mini-dishwasher/

Wow we are setting the goals low these days.

> In the same way, people don’t buy a dishwasher, they buy clean dishes before their next meal.

Ironically, this tells me some... awkward things about how the author relates to their kitchen. I cook - a lot. I host parties - usually dinner parties - and I use cheap Ikea plates & etc instead of disposable anythings. And like (most?) millenials-ish, the kitchen is where we tend to hang out.

My dishwasher isn't so that I have clean dishes before the next meal. It's so that I have a clean kitchen after.

(If I wanted only clean dishes before my next meal... actually I'd probably want as fast a dishwasher as possible.)

What is "this" that you're referring to as a mental illness?

That's an evolution of what was invented by Joel Houghton.

To be clear, your response to someone calling you out was to ... double-down on your sexism by being pedantic?

My wife had a saying that applied to almost all of this kind of thing: Designed by a man!

Good for your wife and I hope you have some snappy retort. Then, again... Imagine if someone here said something similar about some dysfunctional piece of equipment: Designed by a woman! Either both of these made-in-jest sayings should be accepted - which is fine by me - or neither of them. Have a look at the way men are portrayed in commercials to see how far this imbalance has gone: Men are smelly badly-dressed clu…

"Look at how men are portrayed in commercials" feels like a 20-years-out-of-date stereotype that immediately lets you know the person who said it hasn't watched live TV in decades.

Wanna link all those ads you think are running all the time? Cause I haven't seen many. I remember the nice man with the electric car saving the poor robot dog with low batteries, though...

(Ironically, a dishwasher detergent commercial just ran on my TV here, featuring both men and women extolling how great their new pods were, without any different roles by gender or anything...)
