The SCOTUS tells Biden he can’t do a lot of things, but he just gives them the middle finger and does it anyway. The leftists would go to the streets to fight for him, knowing damn well conservatives don’t have the stomach for any confrontation.

I’ve got a washer that I bought with this house, I think it’s about 7-8 years old, that uses *way* too little water, and doesn’t properly clean and rinse clothes.

Fortunately it sits next to a nice laundry room utility sink, in which I keep a 1 gallon plastic pitcher. When I start a load, I start the water in the sink running to fill the pitcher, put in my detergent, then dump the gallon on the laundry.

This does two things. One, it’s an incremental gallon of water, but second, it’s ~8 pounds of weight for the load sensing phase at the beginning. It thinks there’s more laundry, so you get more water, and it works.

If I could get away with kicking the government regulators responsible for this in the gonads, I would. They deserve it.

The Department of Energy itself is un-constitutional, and its meddling with details of American’s home appliances is also completely un-constitutional, as well as fascist and pure bureaucratic bloat

I flush 3 times to get my low flow toilette to work.

I did likewise with a LG "Smart" washer that would not obey the screen option to use hot water, and no matter what setting, it "agitated" like it was on gentle. So I filled up large cans of hot water from the bathtub and poured them in for greasy jeans, etc.

Years ago in another apt. in which our old GE washer was in the basement, the head went, and so I opened it up, and after some experimentation, I hooked up a couple light switches, by which I could control agitation and the spin cycle. Worked very will, esp. when I would (to often) forget about the wash and it agitated for maybe an hour or so. Likewise the spin cycle. Clothes got clean and ready to dry. Thank God. I was doing wash when 911 occurred. I actually prayed that morning while putting in my wash that God would fight against Islam due to it persecuting Christians.

The bored welfare crowd is always up for an entertaining street fight while the gainfully employed have to go to work to support the welfare crowd.

Low flush toilets and other water saving gizmos sort of make sense when you’re in the desert. Local governments might need water restrictions.

But most people live in areas that have plenty of water. It’s called rain. The eastern US is getting drenched this week.

Why do people living there have to conserve water when there’s already more than they can possibly use?

Similar to the low flow toilets that Al. Gore was pushing back in the day.

And we still are required to use low-flow toilets. So he won that one.

My washer will continue to fill if you hold the water level button between medium and high

I worked for a water department for awhile. They decided to pass out water saving devices,(low flow shower, toilet, and faucet,). When we had our next meeting the finance department was screaming that since water usage was down so we’re revenues. So they jacked up the water usage rates.
Use less water, bill stays the same.
