🕑 Added 2024-07-29 10:21:33 +0000 UTC🧺 Why is the cycle time on my washing machines always wrong?
🪙 How long will it take to sell 400 Lincoln memorial pennies for $20,000?

My washer does what Matt asked, it lies but by giving the maximum time. I noticed this the other day when setting off a nominally >3 hour wash, and after sampling the load, it changed to 2h15.

I definitely notice that my washing machine will sit on 8 minutes left for a while... it'll tumble for a bit, start spinning slowly, then stop and tumble for a bit again... lather rinse repeat. Took me a bit to realise it was waiting until the mass was balanced for the spin.

I loved Bec's laugh after her 400 dings. Just a little 'hehaha'
