So why doesn’t the dish rack next to the sink have the same issue?

How would you possibly splash dishes so high above the sink?

In the greater Seattle area it’s about 50/50 whether a rental will have a dishwasher.

High sodium intake from too many processed foods can absolutely cause gout.

You now have gout from eating too many preservatives.

I have pets and bought a new vacuum just a couple years ago. I went with Sebo airbelt k3 after hearing Miele had gone down in quality and I love it. This vacuum fixes every single annoyance I’ve ever had with a vaccum:

• the canister rolls easily on carpet
• the cord retracts perfectly every time and rachets out as you pull the canister
• it’s easy to take apart to clear clogs and even has a little spring flap behind the brushroller to quickly clear the most common place a clog will get stuck
• the roller is trivial to remove and clean
• the bags are easy to change and hold a lot of dust and pet hair before you need to change them

The K3 is a little out of your price range but the K2 and E2 are a bit cheaper. I will say that if you’ve got a lot of thick carpet, it’s worth investing in a vaccuum with a powered brushroller like the K3.

I had a coworker who used to dress like this, his go-to was a naval peacoat with a top hat.

On Halloween he came to work wearing a hoodie and jeans and it freaked everyone out.
