The home owner forum and appliance threads always say bosch diswhasher. Just be aware the good models are backordered 6+ months right now. Also 8 years as a service life for an appliance is loving bullshit. The freezer in my garage has been working great for 30 years, my washer and dryer are both 15+ years old, my heater/AC is from the late 1980s, and in my kitchen I have a rollaway dishwasher that is from approximately 1985. There's absolutely no good goddamn reason why an appliance should last less than 20 years IMO. Just another in the neverending list of infuriating aspects of modern capitalism I guess, or in other words, seiferguy posted:https://twitter.com/KBSpangler/status/1551715401033302016?t=vHxLIWad_h6v3SWW0dPhhw&s=19 Just swap airlines for appliance manufacturers and I'm there

Younger TFFers trust me on one thing - work hard in your 20s and when you make money in your 30s dating is fun as hell. 20s dating is a buncha broke poo poo with people deceiving each other. I’ve had way more fun in my 30s

I’ve had way more fun in my 30s Young TFFers? Anyway, dating in my 30s was a lot more fun because I wasn't married anymore, and I had finally worked out most of my awkwardness. Then I got remarried, and I don't date anymore. I signed up for match.com, but then shutoff my account after getting a date before I even used it. Otherwise, I've never touched a dating app, and I think I'd be scared to try. I don't put myself out there on the internet very much.

Bird in a Blender posted:As someone who has been divorced once, I would recommend waiting many years before making it official. This is barring extenuating circumstances that may require getting married earlier. I dated my second wife for four years before getting married, which was double the amount I did for my first wife, and obviously that wasn't enough. Yeah. I started dating my ex-wife in November 2004, I proposed January 2006, she moved in about six months later and we got married in July 2007. We were babies at the time; I was 22, she was 23. Somehow we lasted for 14 years before I decided it was time to get the hell out of that house and that marriage.

Yeah I can bet this, minus the worst decision ever. I’m pretty happy with my current setup / career path, but I’m behind so many other folks at my age. I’ll catch up and potentially pass em but phew it took all my 30s to get to the point

I’ve never done online dating and watching my coworkers trundle through and endless slew of tinder sex seems highly stressful and kind of dysfunctional. Not judging, but like it’s wild that meeting folks in person is less common. Considering it’s like the only way I’ve approached a woman. I’d be in real trouble if my marriage were to fail. In a number of ways. Prob just move to the mountains. Live off the land or something. Until it’s no longer possible.

I dicked around and took 7 years to finish a bachelor's degree so I got started in real life/career at age 25 but I also lucked out by picking a career that pays decent at that point and started saving at least a little for retirement immediately. I did have student loans and credit card debts so I wasn't out of debt other than my new mortgage until just about age 40 but I never found myself underwater. Feel very very lucky to have had the support and situation to make that happen. Also of course not having kids helped. Anyway my whole life until embarrassingly recently I was always mentally framing things as "getting ready for" some future moment when I'd finally Be There and be an adult doing the things I wanted to do. I finally realized a few years ago that time never arrived for me... I could keep preparing - college, savings, lining up projects, even small stuff like piling up books I'd eventually read and games I'd eventually play - forever. Like, I'll buy this RPG because someday I'll get around to running a regular RPG group. At some point I had to draw a line and say, OK, this is my life, I need to stop mortgaging today mentally in preparation for a fantasy bright future that's just going to arrive where I'm rich, or in a super rewarding career that I love, or suddenly have many hours a day to consume all the different entertainment and also finish all the personal projects I put off. I'm 47, I'm never going to do most of this poo poo, and if I'm honest the fact I haven't even started doing some of it shows it wasn't really that important. I have to just pick a thing to do today that sounds like fun today and do that. I have to accept that I'm going to do this career for the next 20 years and then retire, it's too late to do something else. I have to accept that we decided not to have kids and stop worrying about whether I'll eventually regret that. I think you can date and it's OK to hope for a happy old age with some lifelong companion, but it's probably better to date and hope that tonight's date is fun and stress less about how late you are for getting started on building that future. You don't wanna bring desperation baggage into your date, it'll ruin it. Don't force every date to be about finding your soul mate. Similarly, if you can put any amount of money away for the future do it, and don't beat yourself up about how late/behind you are. You'll be grateful in the future, if you make it, for whatever you saved, however little. Same deal with school. If school would be fun, or at least an enjoyable challenge, go for it. If it's just going to be a miserable trial as you juggle kids and a job and night classes so you can hopefully get a better career, you gotta realistically assess whether you can actually get through it while being miserable, and especially whether you'll be super depressed if you finish it (or don't) and then the job you're dreaming of never happens. If you can look back at your college and say "it was worth it anyway, I grew as a person/learned so much/found a new passion" then it won't have been a waste. Because there's no guarantee, it's a risk, and you shouldn't gamble what you can't afford to lose. That includes gambling away every waking hour of your free time for the next several years.

Dating in my 30’s is pretty cool, it feels like everyone’s at a better place to know who they are and what they’re looking for. I mean, I realize right now I’m neither interested nor in a place to find a living companion or lifelong commitment, but I’m also too busy/broke/tired to run around playing games, and as long as you’re forthright and understanding about wherever someone else is at things tend to go smoothly and stay positive. I’ll probably change my mind once my looks crash further downhill and the DILF thing falls off entirely, but one thing at a time.

The one thing that the '08 market crash kept me from doing is going to law school and I have no idea what to make of that. I still went into the legal profession as a paralegal, but spent a decade in Big Law hitting 2.4k+ billable per year. I'm in-house now, but still working 60ish hours a week (although fewer recently due to hiring / listening to my suggestions for process improvements). Only good that came out of it is I paid my student loans off and was able to buy a condo this year. I've taken three vacations in that time that weren't going to the Michigan UP and working from there. My 20s and early 30s are just a blur of work, which sucks rear end.

GD_American posted:Unless I tell it to dial back, my dishes come out hot enough to burn hands (and warp thinner plastic) so I dunno about that Good to know, thanks. I just remember vaguely reading some reviews about Bosch dishwashers that didn't have heating elements and how some people complained. In fact, from their site: All Bosch dishwashers use a condensation drying process. Instead of utilizing a heating element at the bottom of a dishwasher, condensation drying involves a number of dishwashing elements that work together to efficiently dry your dishes. Condensation drying is more hygenic and energy efficient than drying with a heating element. Additionally, since Bosch dishwashers do not use a heating element, your plastics are safe in the lower rack. Hey, if it works in the South, great! Hopefully we won't need a new one for a long while but I'll keep it in mind.

Career chat. I went to grad school for a PhD. Set me back several years compared to a typical career path and lots of student-level poverty. If not for the good job I ended up in, my retirement savings situation would be lol bad.
