They got tired of me complaining about the desaturation, so I came up here. Seriously, though, I will be so happy once all the dramas get tired of desaturation and move onto the next big thing. It can't happen soon enough.

(Then again, as I said downstairs, I've been saying the same thing about the fad for stainless steel appliances all over everybody's kitchens, and that shows no sign of abating anytime soon. I just don't get it. When it finally does die, all those kitchens are going to look so dated, so fast.)

FWIW I had to replace my fridge last year and getting one that wasn't stainless steel would have added about $1000 Canadian to the price.

So it's a fad, but more for marketers than consumers.

You should watch The Equalizer, then, which is an exercise in lighting dark skin properly.

(Also, it’s really good.)

I've read that the stainless steel fridges won't hold fridge magnets. Can you imagine?

Oooh, hadn't come across Prodigal Son before. Lou Diamond Phillips and Michael Sheen! Will check that one out.

Some stainless refrigerators hold magnets (e.g. our friends’) and some don’t (e.g. ours). Next time we need to shop for a fridge I’m bringing a magnet with me.

I like my
stainless steel refrigerator. I can't wait until I can replace the other appliances to match.

My stainless steel refrigerator holds magnets (I don't see how real steel wouldn't hold a magnet). I'm a renter, so I take the appliances I get and don't really care if they work okay and aren't aggressively ugly.

Here's a mind-blowing fact about refrigerator magnets: Their magnetic field exerts a force stronger than the Earth's gravitational field. Or else they'd be pulled down.
