@TechConnectify Gas powered clothes dryers? 🤯 😱

@wolfensteijn Yep! Though, they still use electricity to spin the drum and run the blowers and stuff. The gas is just to generate heat.

@TechConnectify @wolfensteijn That's the bit I thought was weird too.

We almost never use a clothes drier. In summer there's an outdoor washing line, in winter there's one of these:

@TimWardCam @TechConnectify I know me, and using a drying rack or outside lines will mean I won't have dry clothes when I need them.

So I did go the easy route, and got myself a second hand condenser dryer, and that has been game changing for me.

@wolfensteijn @TechConnectify Yeah, you do need all of (1) enough space for the rack, and (2) enough money to own an extra couple of days' clothes, and (3) a tiny (but it is only tiny) amount of planning.

Edit to add: actually (2) probably costs less than the fuel for running a clothes drier.

@TimWardCam @TechConnectify @wolfensteijn That may be a possibility but there's something to be said about the convenience of just taking your wad of laundry and tossing it in the dryer. Costs more, but much faster and easier. It's a trade-off

@sleepysaf @TimWardCam @TechConnectify Yes, that!
