Zildjian and Sabian didn't stand a chance here in the Burgh.

Reply to comment by megamaid12 in Dishwasher keeps going by Atlantic76
I miss phosphates in dishwashing liquid.
Oops - I should have explained better - wasn't thinking about the downvotes.
So, I miss them like I miss an addict ex, you know? There were good things - like, they cleaned so damn well, no matter how janky your dishwasher was. But the big picture is that I don't want them back because the problems far outweigh the few good things.
At the time they switched, I had an old portable dishwasher and I immediately noticed the difference in the effectiveness. My current dishwasher is old and I hate when people insist you don't have to rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher - trust me, if you have a janky machine like this one, yes, you must rinse your dishes. I'm pretty sure that if I were able to use phosphates in my current dishwasher, I would not have to rpre-inse. That's how well they worked.
But, again. The drawbacks and dangers far outweigh the conveniences.

Reply to comment by ravia in Someone just passed me in the Fort Pitt Tunnel. 376E, entering town. I was going maybe 55. They looked like they were going at least 65, but it's hard to tell as they were going in the opposite direction. by ravia
That stretch of 65 always makes me feel like it's way too easy to cross the center line/have another car cross the center line into me.
