The US has a track record of manufactured reasons to invade a country. Look for some incident in the near future which the US blames on Greenland.

Putin is the only person this benefits. Shattering NATO with a bullshit excuse. If America ends up fighting Europe it draws resources away from Ukraine.

Finland has been shitposting since before people were even born.
- Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning 4 weeks ago:
Be careful hosing it down or scrubbing it. Those radiator fins are delicate and shouldn’t be bent or broken.
I won’t say don’t do it because I dunno, its probably fine. But watch a how to video or read up on it first. Just don’t put a firehose on it.
- Comment on The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis 1 month ago:
It seems obvious in hindsight. Sheet metal doors will crumple in a way that can’t be opened, trapping occupants. The fire doesn’t need to start in the relatively safe and armored battery system. It could be pinched wiring causing a short that ignites plastic interiors, or a fire from another vehicle spreading to the cybertruck.
I’m sure someone mentioned all this to them during design.

If they wired it backwards the hot side might be joined to the “ground” which is connected to the chassis (I don’t know washer and dryer terms). So you would have a hot side on the washer and a ground side on the dryer.
A safe way to check this would be to use a multimeter to check the voltage between the washer and dryer. I’m only mentioning this because its fun to speculate. I would still wait for a professional electrician to diagnose things. They can also document what they find which helps you if you need a case.
The shock might have been bad because of the amount of contact or duration. Normal 110v shocks are really small. You brush against something, it hurts, you pull away.
In this case you might put your whole hand on it and then if you touch the dryer with any part of your body you get a big shock.
For what its worth, you won’t know until the electrician confirms things. The dryer could be wired backwords and Lowes could have done things 100% right with the washer. Or there could be another problem (lose wire somewhere, possibly a defect inside the washer)
