If you are worried about stabbing yourself with a steak knife if you load it into the dishwasher in the correct orientation....... maybe just lean into the pitch and take one for the team.
I mean, my wife did give birth to 3 children so I give her the benefit of the doubt many times. And I've yet to complain to her about this peeve. But I'm sure to act as if I've been stabbed by a hypodermic needle when a fork prong jabs me in the finger webs.

Correct configuration is forks and spoons up. Knives down.

Have you considered reaching into the dishwasher from a different angle rather than unnecessarily attempting to traverse the apparent minefield of fork prongs?

Or is the silverware container oriented horizontally and in the front of your dishwasher for some reason?

Listen. As usual. If we just agree with meow, we will be better off as a society.

I get the feeling these are people who would attempt to do home electrical work without first flipping the breaker for the circuit they were working on. I'm inclined to just sit back and await developments.

My last diswasher had silverware mounted on the door. So you could lay the door flat, and then the silverware container had its own swinging door which allowed you to grasp the silverware flat, as if it were in a drawer. So I would stick everything in there with the utility sides up so they could be cleaned.

I also do all my plumbing without turning off the water first and all my pneumatic work with the system fully pressurized. What are you, yella?

For what it's worth, we do have a really old dishwasher with the silverware loader in the front/center of the bottom tray.

It's somewhat of a moot point anyway, as this task has been repurposed as one of our kids' chores. Their fingers heal quicker.

I have subscriptions for pet food on Amazon. This will make the fourth month in a row that they do not have nearly half of it in stock. I guess I'll have to just switch back to Chewy.

We use Petco for repeat delivery. Have for about 4 years. We’ve never had an issue.

People who create social media accounts for their animals and then post captions from their point of view, what the **** are you doing?

Petco doesn't carry most of the food we use.

I started out that way on Facebook because I didn't want to use my real name. it wasn't long before I realized that was stupid and kept the alias but post from my own POV.

I can tell you what they're not doing...and it's purchasing a stool and a good, strong rope...and it's right there that I disagree with their process...

I listen(ed) to a podcast named Hello Internet (one of the hosts is CGP Grey, the youtuber). It’s hard to explain what it’s about but I guess the central idea is the podcast sort of builds and discusses the meta community around the podcast itself (reddit following, etc)

well as soon as COVID hit, the hosts decided to take a break and...never returned. Been almost a full year now and nothing beyond “we’re taking a break and have no plans to return”

just say it’s over dudes

"No plans to return" pretty much = "We're done."

Propane prices went up for the second straight delivery, with the largest increase in years ($.25/g). We're now at the highest price since December of 2018.

Gas prices in general are on the up and up... with the vaccine rollout and the world preppin to "get back to normal" that was bound to happen. Not sure about propane specifically though.

As you'd expect, it goes up every winter and drops in the summer:

lol... what a terrible graph. No label for the y-axis as to what that amount means, absolutely nothing on the x-axis as to what those date points are. I give it a D-.
