yay i have washing machine again

twice i had the safety switches blip in the 6 months i've been living here, first time only days after i first moved in

after the second time it happens, which was associated with a power surge caused by a lightning strike nearby, we did an isolation test because one of the appliances was flipping the switch no matter what

it was the washing machine

and likely it was the washing machine in the first case, due to high current in the line leaking through the earth fault in the machine

anyhow, now i have a new fandangled stupid wifi enabled piece of shit, and all i want is a 30 minute cycle with a 1000rpm spin at the end, which i have, and for that i am grateful

i wash everything regularly and don't let my stuff get dirty and i'm not currently working outside so i hardly get dirty, it's senseless to waste more energy on washing than a 30 minute quick cycle
