That's great that you found something that worked for you and for others. And I respect your stance on cost.

But it doesn't change the fact that an experiment that only runs through the pre-wash cycle is at best misleading when the results that are important are that of the full cycle. And it also doesn't change my impression that you used a fundamentally flawed experiment to try to make a logical argument, which was then contradicted in your follow-up.

It's just not a great look.

If the point of the second video was "I was wrong" (versus "I'm still right but for different reasons") then I probably wouldn't have unsubscribed. Your moving of the goalposts (which just triggers too many memories of growing up with narcissists) just confirms that was a good choice.

But I do like your content about LED holiday lights, and I will be back to see what you find this season.

For what it's worth, adding a little citric acid should be more cost effective than putting more detergent in the prewash cup.

I came for the traffic signals. I cringed through the overly-long CED saga. I left after the dishwashers.

I'll still pop in seasonally though, for the latest on proper LED holiday lights.


Dishwashing video #1: Detergent pods must be bad, because dishwashers have a pre-wash dispenser. So if you use pods, you aren't using enough detergent!

Here's my demonstration of how using detergent during pre-wash results in more cleaning occurring during pre-wash (which, you know, isn't the full cycle and isn't how people use dishwashers).

Dishwashing video #2: Actually, I was totally wrong. But detergent pods are still bad, because they result in using too much detergent and are wasteful!

That last part though. The fact that identity isn't federated sucks.

Doesn't that require USB 3.x? Some of the Pixels have been USB-C 2.0.

Probably also requires wiring up the correct lanes from the chipset and possibly even paying the manufacturer for that feature.

Wait. Is that what Lukashenko's jet was doing?

'Member when Facebook chat was federated with Jabber?

Pepperidge Farm remembers!

There is already a list of instances which have pledged to not federate with Meta. The landscape is going to splinter into two networks.

This. It's the new trend in streaming: Get better ROI for funding new content instead of paying residuals on your back catalog. The market is heading in a direction where subscribers won't just stick around forever if you're not constantly feeding them something new. So it makes more sense to put the money there instead.

"Max" has already dropped a lot of original content for this exact reason. And you can expect to continue seeing this trend across the streaming industry.

Remember the ongoing writers' strike? The pittance that they get paid in residuals from streaming is one of their main complaints. So you can expect the practice to accelerate after the strike is over.

The content will be shopped around to other platforms. You can probably expect some of it to end up on freemium/advertisement-based streaming services. The rest will just go into the proverbial vault.

I'm surprised none of them have just set AutoModerator to remove every new post.
