Inspired by the Dull Men’s Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
Now that it's finally plugged in again. I just finished moving the socket I had wired up further to the right so I could put one of the cabinets I pulled out during installation next to it. Which necessitated making the cabinet structurally sound, because these cabinets are crap. Which required shoring up and leveling the counter. Before which I had to pull the new sink out again and remount it correctly.
what benefits of connectivity do you get?
So far just a notification that it's done. That's pretty much all I expected. I didn't get it for the online feature.
that’s cool, maybe in the future it can use ai to see if some dishes are still dirty and give another wash, or in the future future targeted streams that can focus directly on the worst bits
Apparently it does have some level of dirt sensitivity! And it looks like I can make custom “smart cycles.” and it does tell me how much energy it uses, which I like, because electricity is stupid expensive here. I dunno. I can tell you it does a good job getting my dishes clean, and that's my priority.
that's one fancy washing machine 😎
I assume you're in an apartment and can't get solar/battery?
Nay, this is my first house. I would love to start going solar, but I don't think it's in the budget this year.
Welp if you get a chance it's a huge money saver and stress saver, my electricity bill has gone down to like $5 a month
I get https://flowpower.com.au/residential/ 45c a kwh I export into the grid during peak times as well so that eats into my daily supply charge because I pretty much never get power from the grid anymore
May I ask about how many total kWh you use per month?
Unfortunately the bars don't start at 0 but should give you a rough idea:
The electricity bill only shows what I got from the grid so last month it said 28kwh i slurped up, and I got it in the middle of the day when prices were low/negative so they gave me a discount for it
