I really cannot understand why advertising is such a huge business. Where does all the money spent on advertising really come from?

Browsh is pretty cool for a text-based browser.

It's so that the machine elves have some time to hide!

On a serious note, I found this explanation here:

Washing machines must have some way in which you can lock the door closing mechanism when the machine is started up and then unlock them with a certain delay (normally two minutes) after the current has switched off via the program or on/off switch, in order to ensure that the door cannot be opened while some of the components are still rotating initially (in particular the motor and the drum of the spin-dryer).

Washing machines have a bi-metal strip inside the door lock which is heated by PTC Heater (resister) when live and neutral are activated on to the pcts it heats up and bends the bi-metal strip which then moves the arm to activate the common terminal and push a pin into the closed door to lock it in place. Once this has happened (usually a second or so see video) the power then can flow through to the common wire, and therefore on to the rest of the machine allowing it to start.

It was a metaphor for personal hygiene.

Weren't we all supposed to become "prompt engineers"?

I sometimes think to grok CSS you have to have a printing degree.

Orthography is hygiene for written thoughts.
