Appliances with an off light.

In the last few years I have purchased a pressure cooker and an air fryer. They both waste electricity by having an off light. Furthermore they act like red nightlights and my kitchen has an eerie red glow at night. What is the actual purpose for off lights besides to waste electricity?

Is it considered ableism to treat someone unfairly with regard to their health condition(s) even if they're not a recognised disability?

Or what would that be called? Pretty much the same things that would usually be considered ableism, but when there’s not a recognised disability involved but just health issue/s (which could be “disabling”)....

Synology DS215j NAS - time for an upgrade?

I’ve had this box for almost ten years now, so I’ve been thinking about getting something new. Looking at the market, the new systems don’t seem to be all that much more advanced, though.

Don’t the concepts behind those words predate the cross-pollination of the two languages? Why do they share this homonym quality?

Do really large people need special bathtubs/showers to keep water from getting everywhere?

Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view. Background: I’ve lived in an olderish apartment (1970s) for about a decade, got a new upstairs neighbour a couple of years ago and now my bathroom ceiling leaks, grows mold etc. The maintenance folks have cut through the drywall a few times,...
