Stacked combo units with a top-load washer on the bottom definitely exist[1]. Whirlpool makes them by combining washer assemblies from Clyde, Ohio and dryer assemblers from Marion, Ohio. (It's not necessarily the most convenient way to

I once had top-loader in the bathroom of an apartment that I lived in by myself. Leaving the lid wide open was a pretty great way of living life. I'd shed my clothes to take a shower and just toss them directly into the washing machin

We have those types here in the States, too. They're very common. We even have several different domestic manufacturers of them to pick from. (As an aside: I don't throw rocks at your house.)

I'd like to point out that HN user koverstreet was involved in those threads, here. They already know what was discussed. (Good? Bad? Indifferent? I don't know and I don't have a dog in this race. I'm just here conne

Diverging: The motors for the meters on the 949 still work, last I checked, but the lights are dead. Lots of lights are dead. (It's old and unrestored.) I'll have to decide whether to fix those, and whether to use appropriate[1

You've nailed my thoughts on that aspect pretty well. You demonstrate why when we choose communicate with a person, we definitely want a person at the other end of the line. But also: When we want to ask a question of a bot and then

When I seek input (whether passively or actively; it doesn't matter) from another person, then I generally want that person's input. I want their words. They can be broken and jumbled, or terse AF, or combine to be Pulitzer-qua

The RP2350 is an inexpensive microcontroller IC with reasonable performance and some very useful (and somewhat unusual) features in its PIO blocks. Why wouldn't a person build that into the heart of something important?

I've got a QX-949. It certainly has a sound to it and it is lacking in neither gravity nor power. I know what it is and when the time is right, I'll take the time to sell it to the right buyer. But the 949, despite its enormity

Oh, man. It's getting to that time where I can see downsizing my parents' stuff as being on the horizon. There's so much of it that is unremarkable. It fits into their house+garage, but it consumes a great abundance of spac

I definitely make a point of keeping a small stock TP (and cheap/easy food, like bologna, hot dogs, and bread) around in these post-covid days. Not to the extreme of the story about the soap, above, but: Something in my mind was chang

Yes, it has happened at least one time. I once ordered from a Waffle House once exactly like this: "I'll have the Texas Bacon Cheesesteak Omelette, with hashbrowns all the way...and I want it to look like the picture." And to

That's certainly true. It is also true that as a consumer, I do have a right to feel contemptuous towards garish design and the freedom to spend my money elsewhere.
