Is there anything more frustrating than talking about a thermostat setting or how a thermostat works with your significant other? Asking for a friend.

@northsouthdenimguy preach!

Call it a thermotwat, then at least both of you can giggle like guilty schoolchildren everytime you talk about it. Works for me and P....

How about dishwasher loading strategy? My wife thinks if you put them in without scrubbing first, the dishwasher will work harder and get them cleaner.

We would also have to run it every two days with her racking mechanics whereas I can Tetris them in there so we run it once a week.

@northsouthdenimguy turn it up high and it will get hotter quicker, give it something to work towards..

I have one about belt loops... Especially with the heavier denims, I find the rear belt loop digging into my spine in certain situations (leaned back on the chopper seat especially, but also laying on garage floors under a car, etc.). For obvious reasons I don't notice it as much with the 14oz, which is part of why I gravitate towards it. I've wondered if dual rears would help this or make it worse....

@68degreesorless IMO the trick with the dishwasher is to not overload it. they always work best when you leave some room and do more loads.

@68degreesorless dishwasher soap actually needs grease to fully activate the soap, completely cleaning them first actually helps defeat the process.

[68degreesorless]

@jimcord well i'll be damned, you and my wife are both correct I suppose

We’re really leaning into the controversies this week – condiment choices, thermostat settings and dishwasher stacking. Not sure there’s anything bigger that won’t provoke the wrath of the mods!

@68degreesorless the real question is, are you going to humbly approach your wife now to let her know she was right about this and probably every other thing you've argued about over the years??

[Tago Mago]

I live by one rule, happy wife happy life

[68degreesorless]

@Mizmazzle never miss an opportunity to tell her she's right

[pechelman]

Minutefood did a great YouTube video on the dishwasher thing. Everything she does is great though. Basically it echos the above with some minor exceptions.

@68degreesorless smart man
