That old thing about washing your clothes in the shower. The washing machine is cheaper cos it uses cold water.

Australia’s economy added 76,000 jobs last month as employers defied signs of slowing demand to expand the national workforce beyond 14m for the first time. The drop in the unemployment rate came even as the participation rate rose to a record 66.9%, meaning more people were looking for work.
We need more than a 15% pay rise to beat the 3 stigmas turning people off aged care jobs
Our research shows that aged care work is still stigmatised by other health professionals as dirty, difficult and low-status – more than most other jobs.
Our research shows that aged care work is burdened by three types of stigma – physical, social and moral.
Physical stigma refers to work performed under particularly dangerous conditions, or being exposed to dirt, bodily fluids and death. Examples of jobs with high physical stigma include firefighting, working with sewage and being an undertaker.
Social stigma is associated with work seen as low-status, because it involves being in a servile relationship and working with people belonging to marginalised group – in this case, older people.
Moral stigma involves work that is viewed as deceptive or unethical. Examples include used car salespeople and loan sharks. Our findings point to a moral stigma around aged care work, which is reinforced by media coverage of elder abuse and neglect.
Neumann Drive
Space junk is made of hundreds of millions of fragments orbiting Earth — and while it isn't a giant space bin, a small high-tech cube could be used to help hoover up some of the debris.
The Neumann Drive will be used by space companies in the US which carry devices on their satellites such as nets or robotic arms to capture orbital waste.
The thruster would then enable those satellites to return to Earth with the waste to be melted down into more fuel.
"It helps the satellites to de-orbit when the lifetime is complete, it could be after three years or five years, so we're helping de-orbiting or reducing space junk," Mr Baig said.
