        Anything less than 4 and you're trying to hard.

          10-15. Depends on how much hot glue you used to reassemble that thing.

              That was hilarious until I realized that my new truck is in the shop being worked on.

                  "Hilarious" to "Damn near pooped myself" in 1 second flat.

                  When I get that thing I'm going to check all the god damn bolts myself.

                    Vote for glue. Forget about nuts and bolts.

                      Glue? bah, either sonic weld it or use silicon. Two ends of the spectrum I admit.... now that I think about it, who do we not like? I'll make a sonic welding machine 😛

                        Our new dishwasher sucks a bit: when the program finishes, it beeps five or six times. Not that bad, but if you don't turn it off afterwards, it will beep again every few minutes...

                        Now the "eco" program runs for nearly 3 hours and I had to wait for it to finish before going to bed.

                        New rule: Do not turn on the dishwasher past 21:00h.

                              Mine has the option to delay 2, 4, or 6 hours. make it run at 2 AM, works for me.

                                  From tech to tech: sure. But my wife doesn't like that function for whatever reason 😉 She's also not using it on our washing machine (the one for clothes)

                                    I would like to think that's the attitude of the mechanic whom I am currently trusting my life to. I think I will verify it anyway, just in case.

                                        Now the "eco" program runs for nearly 3 hours and I had to wait for it to finish before going to bed.

                                        New rule: Do not turn on the dishwasher past 21:00h.

                                        Mine has the option to delay 2, 4, or 6 hours. make it run at 2 AM, works for me.

                                        From tech to tech: sure. But my wife doesn't like that function for whatever reason 😉 She's also not using it on our washing machine (the one for clothes)

                                        Well, clothes aren't something you want to to just sit in the machine when the load it done, so there's a significant difference.

                                        If your dishwasher is close to your bedroom, I suppose the delay would be something you wouldn't want.
                                        In my case, the dishwasher is near where I watch TV. I don't want it running while I'm watching TV, but my bed room is a long ways away, so running at 2 AM is great, can't hear it, does not wake us up.

                                          Our new dishwasher sucks a bit: when the program finishes, it beeps five or six times. Not that bad, but if you don't turn it off afterwards, it will beep again every few minutes...

                                          Super silent model. Very hard to hear at all.

                                          But... I just had the following discussion:
                                          Me: I could get rid of that damn beeping with just a bit of soldering
                                          Becci: Honey, no! And also don't think about installing Linux on the dishwasher.

                                          Hmpf.
