BingoBoingo: In other news: US "Occupational Safety" politruks are about to approve IMPACT RATED CONTACT LENSES!!!
mircea_popescu: what tax ?
ben_vulpes: also i suspect the energy efficiency numbers are twisted by shrinking load size which is total bullshit
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes whirlpool clean touch.
ben_vulpes: no idea why anyone would buy this sort of thing with the new tax in place
ben_vulpes: plus asymmetric load due to gravity during centrifuge cycle
ben_vulpes: why would you put a door seal in place when you could simply seal the agitator axle

mircea_popescu: speaking of, i'm a huge fan of the tower arrangements.
ben_vulpes: given that he's in california
ben_vulpes: well there's the washer, and the dryer, and the latter's probably a 'high efficiency' model that doesn't actually get anything dry on the first run
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1652750 << dude wtf, i've not seen a machine that takes AN HOUR since the 90s. ☝︎
