Hand soap. Dish soap works better and you can use it on dishes in addition to your hands.
A dining table. I eat at my desk or standing at a counter. I was pressured into buying one by family because it was apparently bizarre to them I did not have one. Got the cheapest one I could find to appease them. I have now owned it for 4 years and it has never been used once, it just takes up space.
A dining table is good for when family comes over and you want to eat something together. Now I also use it to eat something with my wife, but before I rarely used it. It helped that it was a hand me down from my mother though, so I didn’t have to pay anything.
Not in my experience. I guess it might depend on the brand or affect individuals differently, but I’ve been using grocery store off-brand dish soap for this for like 10 years and never had a problem.
Just wanted to add that dish soap is actually very strong and removes all the natrual oils from your skin. If you are prone to sensitive skin it’s a bad habit to regularly use dish soap as it can aggrivate it. Every now and then isn’t going to hurt though.
I’ve had glasses for a long time and interestingly they clean better with hand soap. Many have suggested to use dish soap but it seems to be less effective. I’d imagine most of the stains come from being in contact with skin so I’m a bit surprised.
True enough. I haven’t had any problems in using it myself but I supposed you could ratio it with some water or something to make it not as intense for hands.
It’s a lot cheaper than hand soap too so in doing this you could probably get a tonne of hand washes out of it for really cheap.
The primary downside to it for me is that it lasts ages and I get kind of tired of the smell.
I’m not talking about detergent/dishwashing liquid - I’m talking about liquid dish soap which I can purchase locally for about $3 to the litre and is a different thing.
Detergent/dishwashing liquid is definitely much more expensive and probably would not be great for washing hands.
Bar soap is definitely still cheaper though overall, you are correct.
Ah I seem to recall a video he did about dishwashers and why the pods are bad etc. I think he may have briefly touched on making your own detergent using bar soap and borax as well as the manufacturer recommendation to put some detergent in the bottom in addition to behind the spring loaded door.
Oh neat, I’ll have to go watch the new one when I have a chance. I recall it working quite well and being absurdly cheap - I can’t recall if he did a cost analysis. Maybe I’ll watch the old one again and then the new one haha.
Yes, that’s what I mean. I don’t pay for TV because I just put all of my media on a Jellyfin server as I also don’t want to watch ads, let alone pay to watch ads.
Television. It’s like paying to see ads.

I was always told it would fuck up your hands. Does it?
It makes mine dry as fuck, but you can always moisturize with lotion after
I’d rather buy handsoap for a few cents than moisturize my hands every time.

+. And the only couple of local channels I’d even consider watching can be viewed online for free anyway.

I couldn’t live without a dining table. Where else would I keep car parts when they come out of the dishwasher?
Soap and detergent are different things. A bar of soap is way cheaper than dishwashing liquid.
Yes but I think there is a miscommunication here.

Not enough people watching Technology Connections in this comment chain…
Shame

He has a new video now with his new formula that’s part of ecogeek. Once I’m in the position to have a dishwasher again, I’m be going that route.

Not if you have a media player… I dont watch anything with ads.
