Ohhh long John… Ohhhhh long Johnson… Why I eyes ya… All the live long day…

Because it got co-opted and no because it’s gonna get co-opted. It’s too vague yet appealing.

The main thing I like about this is that it rambles on instead of being about a collision with a bar.

Irish I had one

What tells us that it’s a sovcit thing? I see run of the mill nationalism here.

That is a great angle for a design question.

I think I, the person, will open the dishwasher door and interact with its contents more frequently than any base cabinet. But any cabinet that has stuff in it is being used perpetually.

So I think the question is where is the best equilibrium of value; volume of dirty dish space or volume of clean stuff space.

The way I see things now is that my family of three produces one drying rack worth of hand washed dishes per day, which is a smaller volume than an 18inch dishwasher.

On the other hand, the layout with the 24" washer and 90 degree cabinet configuration wastes less space than the 18" one at a 45 degree angle, but it also has less aesthetic (and ergonomic) appeal.

Another consideration is the cabinet design is hugely simplified in the 24" option, and as a “beginner” “cabinet maker” (ie someone who will do it exactly once in their life), that might be a less risky bet.

On the concern of replacing an 18" dishwasher if it fails - I see a variety of brands and models from a variety of retailers that are available within the week. The 18" size is not standard but it is also not so rare that I think replacement would be a concern.

I’m sure this will change when I get used to it, but I see a dishwasher as a luxury, I don’t think I’ll be too upset if I have to wash dishes for one week.

I think my main concern is really limited to whether the size is large enough and whether the machines available are of an acceptable quality.

Every day? Why do you say that?

I think I imagine myself running the washer daily, and washing a couple oddball dishes here and there.

I’m in my 40s and I’m getting my first dishwasher, so I’m used to needing to do a load at the sink for a half hour a day.

If I understand things right, my drying rack seems like it would be smaller than an 18" washer, so for the day to day operations (the time that really stacks up fast), running daily would still be a major improvement.

That said, I know how convenience is compelling, so the big question is do I want the added luxury of 6 inches wide haha… I don’t know.

I would find it completely uninteresting. Everyone has a type.

Dang, I gotta eat more potatoes.

Speaking of hot water, a few years back I needed to replace the boiler for my home heating, and I learned that there are “indirect fired” hot water tanks that use the boiler to call for heat. I did the math and had one put in.

I love it because the tank is dead simple, very little to go wrong, no burning and rusting and blowing out the bottom seams.

And my favorite aspect is that it exercises my boiler all year round, so I know won’t have nasty surprises when the winter season starts.

I’ve been happy with my Electrolux, I want to say it’s about 8yrs old now.

Am not!

There’s nothing to report to the mods. I think the original commenters comment could be translated into constructive criticism to help you for next time, if you want to bother. If you don’t, then there’s really not much left to discuss.

Because all the true is gone.

Docker and docker-compose. Then learn podman after you have some experience, if you want to…

Or jump into kubernetes (or minikube) instead of podman if you want to do highly useful things.

But first, get comfortable building images with a Dockerfile, and then running them in a meaningful way, and networking them, and locking them down.
