Hmm, I suspect, but do not know without taking this apart, that there are three functionally identical buttons on the Oster blender here.
There's a "pulse" (momentary on/off)
Three DIFFERENT buttons (mix, chop, blend)
A low/high speed.
(and off)The mix/chop/blend buttons just turn it on.... there's no speed difference here, and it's just a simple motor that turns a blade.
I think they ADD EXTRA BUTTON THAT DO NOTHING except turn on the motor to make you think it has extra functions, but which actually do not do anything but make it look fancy.

Mountain of broken #fridges growing across #England and #Wales
Jennifer McKiernan
28 Aug 2026"Recent weather has caused a backlog of appliances waiting to be collected by specialist waste firms
"A mountain of broken fridges is building up in waste centres across England and Wales, the Local Government Association (LGA) has warned.
"This year's multiple heat waves have increased the numbers of white goods such as fridges and freezers breaking down and needing to be scrapped at specialist sites.
"Dozens of councils have been forced to stop collections of white goods due to a major backlog, which has built up due to a national shortage of specialists needed to safely process the appliances.
"Earlier this month, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the latest crackdown on illegal waste dumps - and the LGA is now calling on the government to take urgent action on dealing with white goods too.
"LGA Neighbourhoods committee chair Councillor Arooj Shah called on the government to force white goods companies to pick up the burden, help councils with the cost of extra storage, and prevent the same problems recurring in future.
" 'The backlog of defunct white goods is getting bigger by the day – they're at risk of becoming a mountain,' he said.
" 'It is not right that residents who are trying to do the right thing can't take old or broken appliances to their local recycling centre due to failures elsewhere in the system.' "
[...]
"Fridges and #freezers require specialist dismantling due to the gases they contain, which can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of safely, but three of the UK's 10 full-scale processing plants have closed in the last 12 months."

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.

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
