Most damage comes from heat, and rough handling, so I sort by structure/weight, and wash almost everything on cold, and tumble dry on low, auto-sense.

The only color I wash separate is white so it can run hot and with bleach.

I also presort, by weight into 4 bins heavyweight, middleweight, lightweight/dress-shirts, and finally undergarments/delicates/socks

We might go a 2-3 weeks between a running a particular bin so we can separate things out just because there is enough to fill out it’s own load.

Undergarments and deli sites go together, might add leggings or lightweight tops to fill out a load

Socks are separate merely because we like fluffy wool socks and they will fill their own load, and it’s easier to pair them when they all come out together. Otherwise they’d be with undergarments. Might run on warm if the foot stank is real bad.

Sturdy fabrics like denim and duck all go together in a denim cycle it’s just cold/cold with a heavy spin

Sweats and other heavy bulkys go together so they don’t twist up lighter clothes. Might run these with denim or towels

Lightweight tops and button down shirts go together. Lightweight sweaters might be get mixed in too.

Then general laundry is middleweight fabrics: t-shirts, slacks leggings, etc.

If there’s enough for their own load, towels get a hot cycle to get cut down on microbial growth. Otherwise they go with denim and/or sweats. NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER/DRYER SHEETS ON TOWELS. It makes things softer by adding oils THAT prevent them from absorbing water, which is the whole point of towels.

Sheets and pillowcases might get a warm cycle and pre wash to help cut through accumulated body grease, etc.

Nice try, Professor Charon.

TBF, doing the same thing a second time but better is not Nintendo’s MO. Theres usually either a new gimmick or form factor, or it’s just a refresh of equivalent hardware. The New 3DS was an outlier in that respect.

Not all surveys are opinion surveys like political ones are. It’s just a method of data collection.

We calculate predicted reliability ratings for almost every new car, truck, and SUV on the market using data from Consumer Reports’ annual reliability surveys, which ask members about problems they’ve had with their vehicles

This year we calculated brand-level score by first examining the weighted overall problem rate for all models within a brand for each model year. Then the brand reliability score was calculated by averaging models from 2022 to 2024, and some early 2025 data for each brand, where there was sufficient sample size. We had insufficient data to create brand rankings for Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Lucid, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Mitsubishi, Polestar, Porsche, and Ram.

“Since EV technology is still relatively new, automakers continue to work the bugs out of their powertrains and platforms,” Elek says. “But we also see issues with their non-EV components, such as the latest infotainment and electronic features.”

A PetaPerson would hold 0 chickens.

I mean, yeah, that makes sense to you and me, but not every child would make that deduction? Some kids are friendly and trusting, and even if the child is wary of strangers and instructed not to go with them, a kidnapper can just say that they are a parent’s coworker, or that they work at the hospital where their sick parent is, or whatever other lie or sounds convincing to a child. Little kids don’t have the context to see through that bullshit yet.

At least that’s the premise.

But, it also applies to people the kid does know, but may not be expecting: an aunt or uncle, a coach, teacher, a friends parent, a parents friend… since we now know (or at least it has been better disseminated) that most kidnappings are done by someone close to the child or family. The kid should still ask for the password if it’s not a pre scheduled “Grandma picks me up Wednesdays and Thursdays” kind of thing.

I’m no child safety expert; that’s just what I remember.

Barely half score above the Median

Yeah… but anyone can see people’s arms from the outside.
