> You have to handwash the dish, then put it through the dishwasher, then handwash it when it comes out.

You have never actually used a dishwasher have you.

Not the OP, but this is how my parents use the dishwasher - I think a lot of people don't realize that you don't need to pre-handwash for modern dishwashers.

Especially if you use a small amount of detergent in the pre-wash compartment. Most people (at least in Europe) just use a single tablet in the main wash section. I've seen a massive improvement by putting a teaspoon amount of detergent in with the pre-wash. The ever-wonderful Technology Connections sent me down this path.[1]

Without detergent in the pre-wash compartment, only water is used to pre-soak the dishes.

It works even better if you add trisodium phosphate to the compartment.

I'm using the Miele dishwasher powder myself, mainly because it's the only one I could find at a reasonable price that wasn't tablets:

Then there's the way my mother-in-law uses the dishwasher: turn on the faucet as high as it goes, then rinse each dish so much it could just go straight in the rack, then load the dishwasher, then FINALLY turn the water back off.

As a resident of the city and former subscriber. 100% YES, that is better than the current situation.

seriously dude, it's over, go home.

just beginning for me, I've got some agency guidance to get rescinded, as well as some EO's to try to get the President to create and sign

in an actual emergency, you would divert traffic from DCA – the logic here is absurd

You don't believe the military helicopters involved in this hypothetical evacuation would fly in and out of DCA, do you? They're flying out of Andrews (and other military bases, I assume).

haha, the goodwill of ending up on a different black list, and never working again

we're waiting for you Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the USDS is the biggest joke to tech people in DC – just silicon valley more cosplay

Sounds like a great opportunity to teach them about the shitty real world we all live in.

A fair amount of the shittiness comes from people actively enabling that shittiness, such as by throwing large sums of money at fly-by-night companies selling products dependent on cloud services and then getting mad when the fly-by-night company goes under and their product stops working, and then voting for politicians who oppose any regulation that would curtail such behavior.
