I find that I spend entirely too much time counting and recounting items of clothing, dirty, and clean, to find out where I stand cleanliness-wise, both before and after doing laundry.
What's needed is a series of weighted drawers, 1 weighted hamper, and 1 weighted laundry basket.
I start by entering
the starting count for the number of underwear, socks, shirts, and pantalones I own, then wait for my hamper to notify me when, by total weight, assuming I wear one of each type of item in a predictable way, I am in danger of running low of clean clothing. If I buy new clothing, I enter whether it's underwear, etc., as it too is weighed and added to the total weight.
Likewise, a weighted laundry basket will notify me if less weight came out of the dryer than went in.

That is always the case; items go in wet, and come out dry. The difference is the mass of evaporated water. |
|
| |
Thus the output must aways be less than the input; if it's the same, the dryer is broken. |
|
| |
The laundry basket and/or hamper is comparing the pre-wash dry weight to the post-drying dry weight. I hate to say that the laundry basket is more intelligent than you, but there it is. |
|
| |
I have pondered putting a humidifier in dryers to trigger dry-run shutdowns, but a simple humidifier can't be the solution. |

weight just a cotton-pickin minute! you count your clothes
before and after you wear them??? |
|
| |
Otherwise it will be too late to decide whether it's wise to wear precious clean underwear. It that what you meant by "cotton-pickin"? |
|
| |
It's a hillbilly term of endearment. I was just complimenting
you on your fashion sense and organizational skills. I think. |

These can't both be right. If you compare the pre-wash
dry weight to the post-drying dry weight then your
notification will mean that less weight came out of the
*combined wash/dry process* than went in. In this case,
you would then have to make an allowance for the total
mass of dust, sweat, sebum, skid-marks, etc., which the
washing process *ought* to be removing. |
|
| |
Alternatively, if it really is only the dryer you're
monitoring, you'll need a way of measuring the mass of
water removed by drying, as indicated by [8th]. I hate to
say it, but [8th] is in fact *at least* as intelligent as a
laundry basket, on his day. |

//you count your clothes before and after you wear them???// Obviously to make sure you've taken them all of and not absorbed some of them. I once absorbed an entire Aran sweater on a particularly cold night. |
|
| |
Good thing it wasn't one of those Fairisle sweaters with a yoke;
otherwise the pattern might re-emerge on your chest in summer
like an embarrassing old tattoo. |
|
| |
And welcome back, [8th], by the way. |

//Term of endearment? No, it really isn't// |

Do you know I never even thought of the implications
or what it even was about exactly? Just like some of
the sayings I heard my mom say, I never even took
them apart and looked at them, I just repeated what
I'd heard. For 60 years. Thank you, for teaching me
something today. |

I never thought 'cotton picking' was a term of endearment but because of 'cotton on' can see a vague possibility. So that raises the question, should we take the person's or the historic meaning? Meanings can change.Time is suppose to heal all wounds*. |
|
| |
Isn't a greater evolved mind suppose to hold and use conflicting concepts? Might be like the current statue issue. |
