Dishwasher generally consume less energy than hand washing. However, it should be remembered that consumer choices will not prevent global warming. Even though hand washing might be the less efficient option, it is up to the personal choice which is better. Hand washing is just as good as the dishwasher at getting stuff clean, if not better

Yeah, exactly - and I'll even accept the compromise of turning the water on to rinse and turning it off again, if you're just doing a few things. As for how clean it is, both do a good enough job, and the OP is just weirdly broken.

All voltage standards have some acceptable tolerances built in, so it's plausible that 125V is inside the error bars even for old 110V gear. Europe has done a similar thing; the exact standards around the place have been from 220 to 240V, so they just set the new standard to 230V with enough margins to cover both ends. There's enough variation within any system that you have to build some tolerances into the equipment, so it works out.

Yeah my first thought from OBGYN receptionist was she does this to make it harder for people to quietly terminate. You don't take that decision away from people, or try to waylay them and cause trouble by sharing that info. She knows what she's doing, get her fired out of a canon into the sun.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Dishwashers are objectively better. But they take much longer than handwashing a few things if you need them now. The way I read the story, and it's happened to me more than once. Is that the OP's friend was cooking and realized she needed a couple of dishes to serve on. She can run the dishwasher and hold up dinner an hour or whatever, or she can hand wash a couple of dishes in a few minutes. The OP is just a special combination of classist and neurotic.

You're just bad at electric, sorry. The US does have 240v ("split phase" - one phase and the neutral gets you 120, both phases together get you 240), delivered to nearly every home. It is used by things like water heaters, ovens, dryers, well pumps, etc., just not regular outlets. It was done to reduce the amount of fault current in the walls back in the days of the US being the first to have electricity in homes at scale and the wire and gear not being so great, and the lightbulb/appliance standard simply remained, because it was fine then and for a very long time. At this point it's simply inertia. And if you want to talk about bad with electricity, you just have to look at England, where in an effort to save on materials during wartime decided putting so much fault current in the walls that you need to switch and fuse every outlet sounded like a good compromise and then let that inertia continue on long past it's shelf life. Even worse with electricity is Japan, where they have two completely incompatible grids, one running at 60 Hz and one running at 50 Hz for.....reasons. Most electrical distribution pretty much everywhere is a poo poo show of legacy garbage that nobody cares enough to figure out how to undo. It's hardly a <country> specific issue.

At this point it's simply inertia. I think I've mentioned Norway's IT grid before - there's no neutral anywhere, and what you get at the wall is two or three live phases that are 240V to each other, and something like 130V vs ground. Grounding is to be provided locally. We're slowly moving new big constructions to a "live and neutral" system where you get, uh, 400V? phase to phase and 230V phase to neutral, but anything residential is likely to be IT. It's not a huge problem or anything, but it is a weird inertia thing. The only real issue is that some car chargers get a bit confused by it.

Japan's dual electricity grid is great because a) it leads to a push for stuff that works with both 50 and 60 and b) has resulted in an insane massive power conversion relay between where the two grids meet instead of anything resembling a logical and sensible approach to fixing it that isn't an insane infrastructure over correct bandage thing that is so very Japan

There's just a lot of other stuff (like most appliances) that are going to be more picky. Unfortunately that's the stuff that tends to be expensive, last a long time, and is difficult to remove/replace.

Unfortunately that's the stuff that tends to be expensive, last a long time, and is difficult to remove/replace. It has gotten much much better as of late, although its always cool with music equipment and other stuff that used electricity for timing where there are separate switches so it counts properly. It really is a last decade thing with the switching as you note, because you know what really didn't like switching powers? My OG Xbox 360 which tasted Chinese electricity and went to meet Bob.

Johnny Truant posted:never understood this method of doing it, luckily i have a dishwasher now so The soak method lets you save the most caked on stuff for last, giving that stuff a little more time to break up/ soften before your scrub.

When I have done the soak method of doing dishes, it was a two-step process where one side of the sink was used to clean the dishes of all visible food and grime before separately sterilizing them in clean soapy water untouched by food bits. I have definitely known people who thought throwing all the dishes into a sink and letting them all bathe in cheesy soap soup was adequate, and I did not trust their hygiene. But usually you could tell because their dishes still had bits of grease and other residues and they just thought that was normal apparently. There is no reason to assume a handwashed dish is inherently unclean unless the person who did the washing has also shown poor hygiene practices in other areas of their lives. Now that I have a dishwasher, handwashing is exclusively for items that can't go in the machine.
