"Posting on social media doesn't accomplish anything." Shut up, jaded pinhead. I was mildly social and made pleasant connections with like-minded strangers, sharing a few thoughts and general kindness. Sure, it might have all the gravitas of a picnic, but picnics are good things

Omg this worked! On my Whirlpool, holding 1 muted the keypad beeps (holding again restores them). Holding 2 muted ALL the beeps, including the snide "hey come get your stuff!" reminder beep. Godsend! πŸ‘πŸΌ
Ha! It might still be possible. I turned the beeping off bc the kitchen was right outside the bedroom and I worked traditional hours while my husband worked overnights. By the time I was making breakfast, he'd crashed and I was trying to be quiet. Here's how you might be able to do it:

Kanoa is largely oblivious to fireworks and thunder, for which I'm grateful, but it never hurts to deploy half a beef stick while various goobers risk their fingers or garages with consumer-grade explosives πŸŽ‡

Power outage! ⚑ At last, all the cute rechargeable crap I got off Amazon swings into action! Not pictured: me reheating coffee on a completely unnecessary butane camping burner I own because I think it's cute

Now that our country has been reverted to 1954 only gayer, with slightly less racism, I've decided to look forward to tiki culture part II, the next British music invasion, 1960s style SciFi and the possibility of safe jet airliner travel. It's the future!

Did you know that fresh strawberries and bananas share about 80% of their DNA? Specifically, the DNA that tells them to become overripe at astonishing speeds once you bring them home
