A dishwasher that can switch to off-peak times? These French companies have created a dishwasher that can be linked to the French smart meter to receive the off-peak price signal. It's a good move (but it's not Europe's first, as they claim).

REMINDER: Influenza has everything needed to kill people every year and produce a global pandemic every few decades forever. What keeps it at a low “just the flu” level is vaccination. One thing that kept the most recent surges from being more like 1918 is the CDC. What is left of the CDC is inadequate to that task. https://m…
The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆
In the process of nuking LINKEDIN. Asked for an archive first then the account is history. Only thing I get are spam recruiters who don't clue in that I have a job and they offer 'opportunities'.
What about a pool of public DC charging stations that could provide balancing energy to the Swiss TSO? A new project is looking to aggregate that combined capacity and remunerate drivers for slightly slower charging speeds at certain times, which would help stabilise the grid when needed.
