  • I found a solid metal strainer, not mesh for my sink. Holds up forever and much easier to clean. Even if you have a disposal, its not great to just dump everything down the drain [citation needed]. You especially want to catch things like small bones and forks.

    The disposals seem common enough, a lot older/outdated homes don’t have them. I have no idea what they’re putting into new houses and renovations.

    Never had an under the sink mess like you describe, maybe yours just had a small leak?















  • Its seems less on the software side, but more of a hardware reparability and cost issue.

    For the iphone 16, going from 128GB to 512GB is $200.

    The new Mac mini is asking for $200 for 8GB extra of ram, and $800 for 2TB of (non-removable, encrypted) storage (the base model is only $600). For an extra $1200 you can upgrade the Mac mini to have 32GB RAM, 2TB of Storage and 10GB ethernet.

    For reference a good Samsung top of line 2tb nvme drive is about $200. And most 32gb ddr5 kits are about $100. So instead of $300, you pay $1100.

    On the software front, they are more stable. If you jumped from a 2014 iPhone to a 2024 iPhone (and iOS), it’d be similar enough you wouldn’t feel you’re on a brand new OS.

    Good luck trying that with android (or even windows to some extent).
