WCDT: Filler fun week (Dec 24th - 28th, 2018)
BenRG:
Poor Roko though! At some point, someone needs to check her chassis to see if some mad scientist had somehow installed a Bad Luck Generator in there without anyone knowing!
brasca:
Maybe Hannelore should move to this apartment building. If the landlord hasn’t evicted Melon for putting a hole in the floor they probably wouldn’t mind her installing a private washing machine.

Wait, landlords have a problem with people having a washing machine at the place? That's a thing?
...I don't think I know of a single place anyone I know lives, owned or rented, that doesn't have a washing machine. I mean, hand-washing all your clothes seems so "early 60s".
(I mean, I'm vaguely aware that US has a lot of laundromats and whatnot, but doesn't using those add up to a shitton of money?)

Marten and Hannelore's apartment has a communal laundry room used by everyone living in the block (that's how Juicy's knickers got mixed into Hanners' laundry and is the origin of Hanners' vendetta against the other woman). Mostly, I think it's a structural issue - Older brownstones don't have strong enough floors to handle the vibration of drum washing machines and strengthening the floors would be fantastically expensive, even if it was practicable. Most landlords found it easier to modify the basement into a laundry room with industrial-type washing machines or, as is the case with this building, strengthen just one unit on the top floor (possibly connected to the rooftop utility room) to act as a laundry.

Aaand now we know exactly where Melon lives compared to Roko...
