Your writing is a pleasure to read. Thanks for this.

Oh my God, I just checked and me too.

Np. Rereading it now, I’m sorry my wording was so firm and final, but my experience was so terrible I felt I couldn’t let it happen to another person.

I am almost convinced these things are actual scams just to make money no matter the costs, not just a poor product that underperforms. I think they persist because it seems so plausible that it could work, but it just flat out does not, and the manufacturers just don’t care as long as it still sells.

Had one of these over 20 years ago, along the lines of the one you linked. It was positively useless. Never again. The air in your home becomes saturated with water so quickly, and your clothes stop drying because the air can’t accept any more moisture. A lot of heat comes out of the vent, ice or an ice pack would be done in less than 10 minutes, you’d drive yourself insane putting new ice in to condense upon, even if it worked, which it doesn’t.

It might work if you put a couple of dehumidifiers in the room with it, but there is just so much moisture output from a dryer I am certain it would overwhelm them in short order because they are not built for that crazy level of moisture. Also, even though your dryer has a lint screen, a ton of lint makes it out anyway, quickly clogging the one in the kit, messing with the throughput. So you take the filter out of the unit so it can breathe, and lint gets absolutely everywhere. It sucks. Don’t do it. Live with the outdoor noisy vent until you can save for a heat pump dryer. Don’t waste your money.

Word. It’s our monetary system. As soon as interest is charged on something (or otherwise getting something for nothing), this is where things inevitably end up, it’s how the math works out. The wealthy remain wealthy because wealth, and they have even more now, accumulating at an even faster pace.

Every dollar spent at a company listed on the stock market is (mostly) a dollar whisked out of the economy that regular people function in, and into the other economy that’s used to syphon more money from the first one.

Wtf. This sounds like a bias towards ADHD symptoms because of all of the ADHD people self-medicating with caffeine via coffee.

Yeah things ain’t looking so great https://youtu.be/vFb_hb_npV4
