Just discovered a much easier way to grind my coffee in the morning and felt dumb because it was so obvious, figure there’s some good stories out there about this type of thing out there

    I used to feel that the dishwasher should be full for efficiency, environmental reasons, water bill, and such. Then, I added a water flow meter to my Home Assistant setup.

    A full dishwasher cycle uses 4 gallons of water.

    Four. Gallons.

    Yeah, run that thing when you need it.

      There IS electricity, but… it’s also not much. I think I calculated a total cost of about a quarter for mine last year or so… so yeah, I don’t run it because of the ADHD, not because of the cost :)
