Why don't we switch to a system where you get a card with a 21 digit ID coded in bar code, QG code, Chip or whatever... and it has your standard info that those companies all want. Email, phone, name, zipcode.

And instead of the store giving you their unique card, you give them yours and they sign up for YOU?

Is that already out there?

Oooooooh...

xoxoxoBruce · 08-11-2015, 03:39 PM

Nope, I'm very selective giving out information to businesses. You need my phone number AND email address? Would you like my mother's maiden/middle name, high school mascot, and first pet's name, too? I don't think so.

THEN you choose to NOT let them sign up for xoxobruce. and you get no discount. your choice entirely.

I remember asking RadioShack why they needed my phone number to sell me a battery, in person, for cash.

It only takes 15 minute of your time to wash dishes in a dishwasher.

I also have a single friend who doesn't bother with his as it's easier to wash and dry by hand.
As a family we have to run the dishwasher 10 times a week to even vaguely keep up. it would be at least an hour a day, every day for someone to keep up.

With the schedule of public appearances your tribe maintains, I'm surprised anybody is home enough to dirty that many dishes.

Clodfobble · 08-12-2015, 12:12 PM

Yep. I cook a lot, have between 4 and 6 household members depending on what week it is, and almost always have to run my dishwasher twice a day.

Well, which is it? Does it take 2+ hours, or fifteen minutes?

I'm confused.

No, really.

I was thinking almost the same thing.

"Your time". Loading and unloading, presumably.

yup the magical wishdosh even does the work quietly while you sleep, and makes sure the pipes are full of nice hot water for your shower in the morning if you time it right.... Our tribe often eat in the car, but the dishes always make it home. 5-6 meals a day and plenty of drinks of milk and tea for 5 plus "snacks" for three athletes dirty a fuck on of pots and pans.

I have a robot that cleans the floor, I have a robot that scrubs it, why can't I have a robot that picks up furniture so that it can get to the tough spots underneath it? Like a really flat roomba with a piston smart enough to find the center of mass and lift from there? or a group of toy sized forklift working together? IDK...

edit: OK so I don't actually have them, but we have them, as a species.
