No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

We are just plain skinflinty. Why bother with getting a DVR when we have a VCR that still works? (I KNOW they are very different but we are working on paying less for tv, not more.)

I was right there with you for a long time, but DAMN if it's not a good deal for $15/month to be able to (a) watch a show and record another (or record two), (b) immediately rewind a show if I missed something while I was out of the room and (c) set season passes for shows or create one of my own via manual recording like I did for TDS/TCR so that I don't get every single instance of a new episode. And I haven't even gotten to the point of putting stuff on tape without commercials. It'll also save a lot of wear and tear on my VCR, which are getting harder to find (not unlike turntables).

Things I do not have: DVR, cell phone, dishwasher. Guess which one I regret most?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, god, dishwasher.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Dishwasher, totally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It'd be a tossup between cell and DVR. Those are both useful, and I hate working around them.

I dislike emptying the dishwasher (it's had clean stuff in it a day or two so far) as much as I dislike emptying the drainer. Okay, more, because more stuff fits in it. I don't mind washing, mostly.

I'll just note, ita, that you live alone and don't seem to eat much. Not so many dishes, I bet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I couldn't choose between the three.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a DVR and a cell phone. Never missed not having a dishwasher.

Now tagless for your comfort.

She does bake, though. Which creates dishes. I think the quantity of sippy cups & their valves alone is enough to make me insane with dishes. And I have a dishwasher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I had a dishwasher, but wouldn't trade for it. See above re: single, not really that many dishes, really.
