Aw, baby! I love how much she looks like you guys, Jess.
I've never had a disposal, and don't really understand the purpose of one.
Basically so you don't have food waste in your trash, supposedly. I have one for the first time now, and I like it a lot!
Really? People have never had a disposer? That's amazing.
Due to the vermin issues in DC, it is required that every residence has one.
What I heard in NYC was that the density is too great for the pipes to handle them.
And I'm pretty sure I never had one in DC, although I could be misremembering.
Oh no Ouise! I'm betting the thief won't bother with any information, but will try to sell the laptop quickly.
That's definitely what I'm hoping.
I've never had a disposal either, but we have a city-wide compost collection program here, so there's no food waste in the garbage anyway.
My disposal broke last summer and I've not bothered to fix it. All food, etc gets composted by either me or the city of Oakland (we can use the green bins).
Disposals were made legal in NYC a while ago, but since installing one requires getting both an electrical and plumbing permit, hardly anyone has gone through the trouble of retrofitting them in old buildings.
I've never had a disposal either.
When I was a kid, I thought the "Insinkerator" was something Ray Bradbury made up. I was surprised to find they really existed.
My neighbor uses the disposal for everything because of the threat of bears. I use it for barely anything, because I have a septic tank, and because I was trained out of it by my Navajo ladies.
Mine is so crappy that I don't really use it for grinding anything up, just for catching random debris that would get down there like grains of rice or bits and bobs left on a plate. I tried to grind some lemon peels when I first got it and the sound was so horrible that I never did that again.
If I had any ability to compost, I would do that instead, but I don't, so I don't.
I mean, I could get one of those little composting buckets and just bring it out to the Esplanade every so often, but I don't think the city would appreciate it that much.
