How To Install A Dishwasher

Their description:

1. Turn the electrical circuit that supplies power to the dishwasher OFF, or if it is plugged into an outlet, unplug it. Close the water valve that supplies water to the dishwasher.

2. Unscrew the two screws holding the dishwasher to the countertop. These screws are located right in front of the dishwasher. Gently slide the dishwasher out from under the counter.

3. Follow the electrical cord to the junction box, usually on the lower rear side, and remove the cover.

4. Use a voltage tester to ensure the circuit is OFF and disconnect the wiring. Remove the electrical cord from the junction box and place wire nuts on the ends of each wire, then move the wires so they won't be in the way.

5. Under the dishwasher, locate the water inlet line. Remove the nut holding it in place and remove the water line. (Keep a towel handy to soak up any draining water still in the line.)

6. Under the sink, locate the dishwasher's drain line and disconnect it from the sink's drain line or garbage disposer.

7. Now that the dishwasher is completely disconnected, remove it and clean out the area before installing the new one.

My comment:

How to install a dishwasher: First, buy a ring. You'll need a top-quality retainer ring for the best dishwasher, so get out of the hose clamp aisle of the hardware store and go to a jewelry store. Apply ring to appropriate finger of the compatible dish washing unit and place inside home. You're done!

Recently got a bite.

We used to call men with your attitude chauvinist pigs.  Still do as a matter of fact. You need to come into the 21st century!

Emmett Turner? Could you have any more of a hick name? And you think it was a leap to assume that you were a male considering that? lol.

"Hick name?" I am "The Fourth," my first name is "Julian," and my family is from everywhere EXCEPT The South. Your impression seems to have come from the lynching of Emmett Till in the south, but he was from Chicago and had nothing in common with me. To associate the name with hicks because of that is to associate hicks with Chicago.

Perhaps you are thinking of Emmett Kelly or Doctor Emmett Brown from "Back to the Future" (both "hicks?").

My YouTube name was CZroe then and it has returned to being CZroe now (see the comment you are referring too?). Google just hasn't switched them back after my experimentation yesterday. My name has always been clearly listed in my Anandtech profile so I have no idea why you are suddenly so amused by it.

And now you have successfully trolled me.

Have you met my uncle "Ted?"

Race = human, dog, cat, bamboo (Animal Race)

Ethnicity = Asian, Spanish, Greek, Anglo Saxon, Han, African, White, Black, Indian, Middle Eastern, etc...

Obviously, people whom are "Racist" are not even using the "educated correct" terminology...

 

[Ichinisan]

...

It never struck me as a "hick name" and I'm self-conscious about that sort of thing. It's not a common spelling for the name either.

I indirectly know a "Bobby Joe" and a "Clemit." Regrettably, I don't know a "Cletus" or "Billy Bob."

I think most of it is attention-seeking behavior.

You must be such an upright man OP, for pointing out the obvious. How do I vote you for POTUS?

I still want clarification on that. It was consistent with other bath salt incidents (compulsion to remove all clothing). I suspect that the guy simply wasn't tested for bath salts. I think the stuff still wasn't (isn't?) a controlled substance in most places since manufacturers pretend it's not meant for human consumption.

Look deeper into it.................the dude DID have weed in his system, but he also had an "unknown" substance in his body, then immediately after this incident the CDC quarantined about a dozen people....

At least they didn't the play the race card as much. BLACKS ON BATH SALTS! ARE YOUR CHILDREN SAFE? It really was that bad at one time.

Here's one of those examples I mentioned:
New York Times, September 29, 1913

A link to a 1913 article, how is this relevant in today's world?

 

[biostud]

Not really, since the internet is like real life without inhibitions.

History repeats itself.
But you have to study it with an open mind to see the similarities.

Spungo, I don't know what forum you were in, but if it gets much traffic at all, the mods were not being racist. They were avoiding having racist comments found on they site.

From what I have seen, racism has as much to do with the person the says/types the comment as it has to do with the person listening to/reading it. That doesn't stop racism from being a "hot topic" in today's society, but it does depend on interpretation. You should know by now that one misinterpreted comment can lead to a mess in an instant.

So trust me, they know their site better than you do, and were probably doing you a favor.

I hate everybody. I wasnt like that years ago but the world has become so PC that I now hate everybody.

What is reverse racism anyway? Racism is just plain old racism, no matter who it's directed at.

Why do republicans think that Obama stole the 2012 election?

Because he's black.

I thought Mandy Patinkin was more sophisticated than that.
