Ashley, as a longtime Gizmodo reader this article validates what I always thought of your posts: an intellectual voice expressing similar opinions of my generation. Overtime, I began to consider you a source I respected as much as the NYT or Washington Post. You are outspoken on issues I care about.

I always thought it was more of a maintenance thing for landlords. Dishwashers require garbage disposals and people think anything can go down them. A plumber will visit a house more often with an installed garbage disposal-having to fish things out that people assume can go down them but shouldn’t.
