@techconnectify.bsky.social I daily used this UK kettle in my US apartment for most of the 2000s without any problems. It was plugged into the 6-20 receptacle for the AC. The time savings for .5 liter isn't that big of a savings, but makes a big difference when doing 1.7 liters.

When the dishwasher beeps at the end of its cycle the dog runs to hide in the kid's room. This has happened three times today. Unloading the dishwasher isn't even one of the dog's chores.

@mediaarchaeology.bsky.social I ran across this picture from a pandemic era virtual tour you put on. This is the only time my cat ever showed any interest in what was on a screen. I'm not sure if he was really into the old tube style displays being shown, or if the archeology cat got his interest.
