My washing machine has voodoo, the kind of which I can’t seem to vanquish entirely.
Time to go with the flow. And, as long as flow equates to drain, I’m good with it, because ultimately, if the water goes down the drain as it should life ain’t too bad.
Sometimes the washer works and other times it throws obscure error messages that no one short of AI has a record of ever hearing or reading.
The logic board of the washer seems to be the likely suspect regarding repair. I suppose I’m just trying to get the most out of trivial technology in my washing machine. Error messages don’t make my life easier, and I wonder how did we get here in the first place where appliances absolutely had to go all in on the digital end.
Not entirely happy with all this, so I will be content to just use the reset method that is “pull the plug for five minutes and re-plug” fix for as long as it works (which was approximately one month last time this happened).
The one high tech feature developed that I think I like is that which comes from taking your hands off the steering wheel and letting your car parallel park itself.
This is potential voodoo software in my thoughts as I do not remember it ever being touted as working 100%. And, therein lies the problem when you have a 1% chance of anything bad occurring (as I know you certainly don’t want to be part of the 1% that has to live with repercussions from backing into another vehicle). I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
So far we’ve covered washing machine error messages and parallel parking. It never ceases to amaze me the value this blog provides. Where can you find out about stuff like this anywhere else? It’s nowhere to be found except here.
Rumbles in my jungle
I was perplexed yesterday to discover the new container of laxative that arrived either had a typo on the instructions or indeed is just more powerful than the previous container’s contents.
What is he talking about you ask?
The instructions on the old container said to add two heaping tablespoons to 8 oz. or more of water, stir and enjoy. The new container’s label included instructions that suggested adding 2 heaping TEASPOONS of the product to 8 oz. or more of water, stirring and enjoying. Talk about a run of good luck!
And talk about recession pricing.
I can hardly wait ’til I finish the present container’s contents before starting up the teaspoon regimen with the new container. It’s double the number of servings, too, and says so on the label. You cannot sound happier when you can pronounce for all that your savings and quality value ads have been met and exceeded–at least for today.
This is probably evidence that AI is developing a sense of humor. It’s these kind of ‘breakthroughs” you can find only here, folks.
Finishing last
I don’t consider people who did not like at least some of the preceding material smile worthy. Collectively, their faces would crack should even the slightest of smiles find their way to their faces. This is why my superior half understands I write for myself only and do not feature a large comments section on my blogposts (although if you absolutely must, you can leave a comment). Can’t say that I will get back to you, however, but please exhibit good behavior and practice writing comments without malice (as they go a good, long way).
Plus, you never know if myself or an AI designed washing machine will be responding.
