Respectfully, what does this have to do with anything?

I do not know what you're talking about? It's a normal stage of cognitive development in children.

In my experience denture cleaner works better than vinegar. And I have plenty since I use them to clean my retainer. If I had bottle bright/ swell cleaning tablets I'd use those but I'm out.

Also, IME this is also true of people in positions of authority within extremely authoritarian institutions. They're not prepared for an employee who decides they no longer give a fuck.

This is called infantile egocentrism and we're supposed to age out of it by the time we're 5 or so.

There's an interesting story about how strawberries became a year round food in the US and basically the answer is California and refrigeration.

I'm going to run the tab after I clean the filters. I've cleaned the main filter but not the fine filter.

Now that I have the manual I can follow proper bowl placement (which is apparently despite what I've been doing - the top rack)

How to clean a dishwasher filter | Finishยฎ US Learn how to clean your dishwasherโ€™s filter to eliminate odors, achieve an ultimate clean, and extend the longevity of your appliance.

Everyone asking me "dishwashers have filters"

Yes.

Usually on the bottom beneath the spraying arm. It's there to catch food scraps. Here's one guide on how to clean yours

Who the fuck keeps 9 volt batteries lying around? And the smoke detector had the battery in like a hidden compartment so I had no idea what was happening (it's hard wired in)

A couple of months ago both my smoke detector and my explosive detector back up batteries decided to give up the ghost at like 4am on a Friday and it was the worst morning of my life.

YES!

Usually a main filter where the food waste goes in but apparently mine has two.

Also if you have a GE dishwasher but they make it super easy to find the manual by SHOWING you where the model number on the dishwasher is located.

I don't want your opinions on GE dishwashers I rent this is not my machine.

Yeah I've cleaned the main filter but not the fine filter because I didn't realize it has a fine filter. So I'm going to clean the filters and the spraying arms and then run a whole cycle with a dishwasher cleaner.

Tomorrow morning is going to be lit.

It even explains how to remove the spraying arms. I'm going to soak them in denture cleaner.

I know there's a lot going on but I finally made the effort to find the manual for my dishwasher online and well NOW I know why it's not cleaning dishes anymore (it has TWO filters... In two years I've only cleaned out one)

I'm weirdly excited to clean my dishwasher tomorrow.

That's interesting that it's reminding you a bit of the UK in the 90s. And like I'm aware how privileged it is to be like I can't get X thing. It's fine! I'll survive! It's just noticeable.

So I didn't live in town. I lived 5 miles from the town off of a state highway, but if I wanted more than the country store that was closer to 10 miles.
