OP is either a time traveller or a liar. Hybrid theory came out 24th October 2000. That was around 23 years 11 months ago. If they were 15 at release then the oldest they could be right now is 38 years 11 months, not 40. Such brazen dishonesty.

I would have thought that after a while they would just become Numb to it

I assume it is the racial slur originally directed at Pakistanis but is now used against all brown people because racists can’t tell the difference. Not that it would make a difference if they could. Racists gonna racist.

Just looked it up because I too was unsure of this. There is a Wall’s meats, but they are no longer related. Unilever owns Wall’s ice cream but they sold off Wall’s meats in 1994. The logos are different and the meats one only operates in the UK. So this map is useless for avoiding dodgy meatballs.

Modern washing machines auto-balance the load, which negates the need for the massive weights you get inside older washing machines for stability. The motors in older ones also have to work harder because of this since it is trying to spin an unbalanced drum. I also assume modern ones have more efficient brushless motors etc.

The load balancing thing definitely applies to the front loading washing machines we have here, no idea about top-loading.
