All for energy efficiency - but when appliances start dying with 1/3 the lifespan of older ones, is there really a net benefit? 😡 We have a freezer built in the 1940s that still runs.

I've been told by multiple people many times that spinning a dryer drum by hand is gonna fuck up the belt. I call bullshit. I've been doing it my entire life and it's never once caused a problem. I think it can if you're a dumbass about it and spin it really fast over and over. Indeed, you can actually feel the belt start to slip if you spin it too fast, so then back off a bit.
Why do I do this? Simple. I spin it just enough to where there's a gap in the fins at the bottom, then I sort of funnel all the clothes into a pile and push them from back to front and pull them out. I find it easier to manage that way than if one of the fins is at the bottom which basically splits your clothes into two piles.
I think the people who do this are the same type of people who get in their car when there's a lot of snow on the ground and just fucking gun it thinking they can get unstuck that way. No nuance, no feeling. I feel like I'd have a better chance getting a car out of a snow drift than some people out there.

Most #smartappliances collect data: Here's how to find out what yours tracks
Time to start worrying a little more about #privacy.
Smart fridges, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, and other connected #appliances collect data you willfully provide, Consumer Reports found they transmit anywhere from 3.4MB-19MB of data to manufacturers on a weekly basis. Your usage habits, food consumption or even calendar items or inquiries you might communicate with a smart fridge.

23 Best Gifts for Cooks (2026): Vitamix, Frying Pans, Air Fryers
OK, so technically the best home knife sharpener is probably a set of Shapton stones, plus a knife sharpening class and some diligence. But the best knife is the sharp knife—and that comes from having a knife sharpener you’ll act…

PROTIP: As you use your #appliances and #tools, take pictures of the labels with their model/serial numbers. Eventually, you'll have a nice little library for warranty work, checking recalls, repair orders...

It's not very hard to switch your low-wattage electronics (phones, computers, fans, lamps, etc) to using a small solar power system on your roof. The harder things to power with solar are high-wattage appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, HVAC, etc). I don't have the latter, living on a boat.

Induction stove, week 2
1. Family is very happy with the switch!
2. Air quality improvement in the house is dramatic. Especially CO2 readings.
3. Stove is a LOT cleaner amd easier to clean. Magnitudes easier then the prior gas range.
4. Heat shielding on oven is far, far better than the old oven. Does not heat up the house like the old oven, which was noticeably adding heat to the house when on.
5. Manual controls with knobs on this particular model is great! No touch screen required for the cooktop.
6. Heat level control is absolutely stellar on this model. Everyone here is very happy about that (was a concern vs. gas) -
Gas line sealed off per code. Plumber told me I need to get an anti-tip device for the stove too, one has been ordered. Also had him seal off the natural gas outlet on my back patio, which should have been sealed off awhile ago. (Line goes under the patio and may have been leaking before I shut off the janky secondary valve a few years ago). #appliances

Reading the instructions now...
Page 4:
"Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only...
Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven"
😬 🤯 😂

Installed and running! Boiled a pot of water. Gas definitely needs to be capped, the pipe extends out and you can't push the stove all the way in. Also needs to be capped per code. #inductionrange #appliances

New-to-me LG LSE4617 has been obtained (via the miracle of the Fediverse and ham radio fellowship), and a proper electrical cable purchased and connected to the induction range. Tomorrow, will remove the old gas stove and connect the induction range (cross fingers it all works, lol). #appliances

This might be a long shot...
Can anyone in Calgary recommend a good place to buy a new/reliable/3-5 cu ft freezer (upright or chest). Don't need designer/smart, just a functioning appliance. Researching at the moment, not in immediate need.

I swore I checked this before, but yes, I have a live 240V circuit back behind the stove. (There's also a disgusting amount of food bits and crud back there... ewww) #appliances

Looks like we're a "go" for switching to an induction stove/range Probably from Costco. Anyone have any recommendations? (I know folks have mentioned that physical controls a lot better than touch screens, for sure) #appliances #inducation
