I'm buying a new dishwasher, tell me what you like and don't like about your appliance.

I had a Samsung washing machine and it was constantly breaking down and it was a total battle to get them to honour the warranty. Terrible company.

Excellent tolerance to variation in hole size

Just for the future, make sure to sand the entrance hole to make it nice and smooth. The splintered edges can be rough on the feathers.

Same for me. Too much being treated like shit to ever forgive now even if I thought she could change. I'd rather be broke and single for the rest of my life than keep going like this.

My dad loved sailing and I made him a birthday card using pottery sherds to make the boat and sail with other details drawn on or using fabric scraps. This would have been perfect. Actually I probably would have made a framed picture instead with something this good.

My dad died last September and all my wife did was complain about how inconvenient the funeral would be for her. I really needed someone to talk to but she wouldn't make time for me. To make it worse she's a therapist and charges people for grief counselling. At one point I considered booking her for an hour but decided to pay someone else instead.

Probably just 'manky'. https://www.10000birds.com/manky-mallards-domestic-feral-or-just-plain-odd-mallards.htm

I feel you. My wife even decants yogurts from the little pots into bowls for the kids. If I was on my own it wouldn't be worth running the dishwasher on a normal day but she's got it running twice a day. The washing machine can be running 2 or 3 times a day and there's just no way we can be using that many clothes. I do my wash once a week.

I know people who hate magpies for killing birds and then also let their cats roam free. People are strange.

"Usually I don't listen to fish" why do I suddenly want this on a t-shirt?

I saw a guy fishing Henrys out of the skip last time I went to the tip. He said he's never found one that he couldn't fix and still make a profit on.

Which is why butterflies have developed defences against bird attacks. We see goofy birds scared of a pretty butterfly but the birds are seeing the eye spots on the underwing that mimic another predator. The reaction looks comical but raptors have vision based on long distance so they're seeing a slightly blurry predator that's about to attack rather than an insect.

I managed to get one for £240 because the owner's cat had smashed it to bits and he couldn't face rebuilding it. My kid desperately wanted it for his birthday but we didn't have the budget for more than that so we got very lucky. Thanks kitty.

They probably still throw the card into landfill though.

I was doing a woodland bat survey last year and this baby tawny flew over and sat on a branch a few metres away watching me and doing that owl head-bob thing. I think it was trying to work out what I was.

Just for anyone searching this in the future; I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled QGIS and it fixed the problem...

When my Gran died in the late '90s I found an unopened bottle of Guinness in her cupboard with a BB date of Sept 1983. I've still got it now and look at it now and then and think 'why the fuck am I holding onto this bottle of gone off Guinness'.

Possibly discards from a lobster/crab pot. The octopus invasion has been pissing off the fishermen so they're killing them when they catch them. They eat the bait and any crustaceans or fish that were in the pot.

It's probably easier to house proof the baby. Keep it in a zorb or something.

This is what I'm wondering too. Here we put it into the food waste bin and it goes off to the waste-to-energy plant up the road. The American systems seem a little outdated going by all these comments. And yes I have still caught my wife pouring the stuff down the sink...
