I have a Bosch dishwasher, try and remove pieces of food left on the dishes, and use those multi-coloured pods. Its "eco" cycle (the shortest) is just 45' and dishes come out squeak cle…

Should we expect people to study humanities? A lot of the best software is written by amateurs or hobbyists in their spare time. I'm sure there is plenty of experts on Greek tragedies just becaus…

So the ACME protocol is a play on Achmed?

If you are sitting all day in front of a computer, you need something. If you walk around, you'll be fine. I reduced the indoor temperature this year to see how it was, and kept ~18'C. I thi…
