Sure it will. Anyone who sees this dishwasher will never disrespect
the space:

	A dishwasher will not change the behavior of people who leave kitchen
garbage and dirty plates out. Anyone who has ever had a roommate,
ever, knows that. And hell, usually, I'm "that" roommate! On Apr 3,

in the same vein, a reminder sign reminding people to scrape their
dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.

 Agreed. And there's the even simpler problem of not having a single,
easy-to-follow system to determine whether the contents are clean or
not. Still interested in hearing how the first one went away. This is
obviously out of date: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Dishwasher

                    The problem I see with a dishwasher is       that
if people "don't know how to wash a disk" then they will most      
likely won't scrape off the dishes before putting in the washer.      
Repeatedly fixing a plugged up washer can get quite expensive.

own facts. Norman       On 4/3/2014 3:28 PM, daravinne wrote:

                  every company i've worked at has a dishwasher.  i
hate           washing dishes, myself.  i don't want to waste time
away from           projects to do boring manual labor like washing
dishes.  and           look! we have the technology to make dishes be
washed           themselves!         
                  I am willing to throw money at obtaining a
dishwasher for           the space.
