What’s on your mind?

Dishwasher dish loading.
I usually load the dishwasher, the dishes sit on their edges in their slots and I usually lean them slightly with the dirty side facing down. Today my wife told me I was doing it wrong, that the dishes needed to be perfectly vertical not leaning slightly.
Online, I found a description at Whirlpool that says to place them so the top/dirty side is facing towards the center and the dirty side leaning downwards, so the water jets will hit dirty side, but all of the pictures seem to show the dishes perfectly vertical.

What is your verdict? Leaning, vertical, or it does it make any difference? :)

Our home system: My wife loads and I empty. Neither interferes with the other. They are very clean when empty the machine so I figure she is doing something right :)

People are certainly different with regards to the use of dishwashers. Prior to putting a dirty plate in the machine I rinse it to ensure very little evidence of food is on it. When visiting relatives a while back I was shocked to see the plates he was putting in the machine, straight from the table with no regard of what was on them. Ok, I assume if someone had left a potato he would have removed it first, but barely. I do wonder if his machine gets clogged up with debris.

Bettman has ruined a great league. The damage started when league HQ was moved from Montreal to New York.

I'm one of those that MUST rinse and make plates/dishes look like washed before putting them into the dish washer. But we have not had good results with our dishwashers. Even though the apartment we're in is brand new, the dish washer still drains out the sink port and barely washes the dishes. Since it's just my wife and I, we just usually wash by hand. When the mother in law is over, she'll do it for us. :)

If you are renting and the dishwasher came with the apartment, get tough with the landlord. You are not getting what you are paying for.

We implemented a number of payment systems in the early 00s, including for some major power and light companies, and I recall bringing that up when discussing security, "Want to pay my power bill, awesome!"

:D

The actual problem is online accounts divulge a surprising amount of information, and even when it's limited, a call to customer service with backed with that online info, you can get a shocking amount of additional info - or missing parts of a person's info, that you're piecing together from multiple sources.

I've decided to move to a new city.. currently applying for jobs in IT. I've been applying for one week, only heard back from one company and it was a rejection email.

I just hope I'm making the right decision.

Currently working? Quit a job in preparation for moving? From which city to which city?

What are your main reasons for wanting to relocate?

I feel for you. With the way Boris and Hancock etc. have mishandled the current problems, you and your fellow countrymen are only welcome in the US and Brazil ;) Interesting that Johnson, Trump and Bolsanaro ("leaders" with similar attributes) are in charge of the three countries with the highest death rates and little improvement in sight.

Without going into the how's and why's the politics etc, the above is not a true statement.

Lol, I was actually thinking about the US haha. More realistically for me though, Iceland.

Currently working, money isn't a problem yet but could be if I can't find work in the next few months. I'd be moving from Victoria BC to Vancouver BC (the most expensive city in Canada).

Im 25, been in school/with my folks most of my adult life, I feel as though a change is needed.

Tough call. One would not want to go on holiday and have to spend the first 14 days in lockdown in a hotel or private residence. But it depends how strict the country is. The UK is talking tough but those arriving at airports only have to provide an address of where they will be staying. No proof is required and even if a true address, spot checks may occur and if nobody answers the door, that is basically the end of it.

Iceland must be incredibly beautiful. It's on my "gotta see before I die" place.
Plus I must visit the grave of Bobby Fischer (despite him being quite an awful person)

It looks stunning, but I hear it's getting more and more popular each year.

No way, but I'm hoping by mid 2021, all this will be pretty much over, or at least tamed.
