Let me tell you about my panda mini-washer
As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver
The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use.
It has a surprisingly large capacity. The basket from the first picture represents about one and a half loads. The jeans took up a whole load while the rest filled the bin only half way.
Here’s the inside. The left is the washer the right is the spin dryer. Yes, it even drys.
Basically you shove your cloths into the washer, fill it up with water and let it go. I use my shower head to fill it up so it goes faster, the sink hook up took about five minutes to fill the whole tub, with the shower head is is down to a minute an a half. I do it in three wash cycles, a five minute rinse with baking soda, a five minute wash with soap and a three minute rinse with water. You have to drain and refill between each cycle so it’s a little more labor intensive than a traditional washer.
That’s the spin dryer. It’s about half the capacity of the washer so one wash takes about two loads to dry. The spinner is much more effective than I was expecting. A three minute spin gets my cloths about 90% dry. I hang them up to air dry for that last 10%.
The machine cost me about 150$. When you factor in two dollars for the bus, five for the machines (per week), the mini-washer pays for its self after only about six months worth of laundry.
I’m not great at expressing emotion, but I’m hoping you can tell how excited I am. Let me just say that the panda mini-washer is great and I highly recommend it to anyone currently using a Laundromat.
Read this and immediately bought it on Amazon for $180. I spend $15 a week to have my laundry done so this pays for itself in 3 months for me. THANK YOU JESUS.
OMG
@ all my nyc pendejas
Oh by the way, they have table top dishwashers that are pretty much the same thing:
This is one of the biggest technological breakthroughs for the everyday homeowner in the current decade: the realization that refrigerators aren’t the only things that can be miniaturized for better affordability and minimal space requirements.
Can you IMAGINE how this is going to change the lives of college students and apartment-dwellers? Or anyone with a lower income who can’t afford a place with “luxury” appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines?
There’s an even cheaper option called the Wonder Wash where you tumble the thing yourself and you’ll have to line-dry the clothes, but it apparently works very well.
I’ve read a lot of Check Please that made me cringe whenever I see a French word, because the first rule of Québécois is: don’t try this if you’re not Québécois. Lurk a couple of years before trying your first swears.
But hey, if you want to try, let me give you a few pointers.
- We don’t say “Eh” in French. Jack may say it because he speaks Canada English, but over here in Québec we still wonder why that’s a thing.
- We swear in both English and French.
- Strange thing, though. Religious swears (crisse, câlice, tabernak) are seen as very rude, when English swears (shit, fuck) are better accepted. An humorist or actor would use Shit and Fuck before using Tabernak.
- Jack ZImmermann is a polite boy and will mostly use “merde” and English swears in regular situations. Alicia didn’t raise a rude boy.
- But all bets are off in hockey.
- I have never seen or heard about someone using a religious swear in bed. You can try, but it’s weird.
- “Oh mon dieu” (Oh my god) works. Oui = yes. Encore = again.
Okay, here are the swears you can use
- Ostie, pronouced ‘sti (stee)
- Câlisse, emphasis on the a, like a huge emphasis, pronouced Cow-leess
- Crisse, from Christ, pronouced Creesssss
- Tabarnak, can be pronouced Tab-arr-nahk
- Maudit, means damned, pronounced Mow-dee
They can all be used individually, but can also be added with a “de” in between (de = of). Examples:
- Ostie de câlisse
- Crisse de câlisse
- Ostie de câlisse de tabernak
You can use them as a noun, to mean “you fucker”
- Mon câlisse
- Mon tabarnak
- Mon écoeurant (you who makes me sick, not a swear but means the same)
- Also see: Maudit écoeurant.
- Mon maudit
You can conjugate as a verb
- Je vais t’en crisser une (I’m gonna hit you / fuck you up)
- Je vais t’en câlisser une
now it’s all very polite “Je vais”, but if someone is using Crisser et Câlisser as verbs, it’s more probable they use M’as instead of Je vais (it’s a lower joual, very effective) So instead of writing Je vais t’en… Use these:
- M’as t’en crisser une
- J’vais t’en câlisse une
You can use them as adverbs and adjectives.
- Un ostie de beau coup. (An fucking beautiful shot)
- Un crisse de bon gars (A fucking great guy.)
- Une câlisse de bonne bière (A fucking good beer)
But remember, Jack is polite and mostly won’t use them outside of the rink. And even less in bed. Mostly, he’d say shit or fuck, sometimes merde, and keep the huge swearing when he steps on a lego or something. (But the French speaking Falconers could easily use any of the above.)Have fun! Next time I’ll do a Pet Names 101 because some of what I’ve seen made me cry.If anyone’s interested, here’s an article about Québécois swearing that I just happened to have open in another tab
