  Ikea sell a very similar option for $3.99. I use these for a few months and replace them when they get dirty

    'i use these for a few months and replace them when they get dirty' one day will be found etched on humankind's tombstone.

      And who will place the tombstone?

      And shouldn't it be the earth's tombstone?

        it could be that we take earth/mother nature with us.. but my optimistic side believes/hopes otherwise. a return to pre-eden.

        I'm confused. Your optimistic side hopes/dreams humans will be wiped out?

        my optimistic side hopes/dreams that we won't take the earth with us if we wipe ourselves out.

        @Stitchy:

        I think that's common sense. The earth isn't a living thing. If we wipe ourselves out, the Earth will still be there. It will carry on without us just as it did before us. Nature will reclaim our cities and in the distant future, if aliens landed here, there will be few signs we were ever here. It would be very impressive if we could destroy all life on earth, even deliberately, much less accidentally. Not even a meteor could wipe out life on earth, and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that meteor.

        That meteor was by far more powerful (several orders of magnitude) than all of the nukes on earth combined btw. Earth survived that, and it will survive our nukes.

        i guess it's common sense if you believe that tech advances cease today.
        otherwise.. we could accidentally open a rather hungry black hole.
        we could create some device that shatters/collapses the earth's core.
        we could create some replicator that decides it wants all the surrounding carbon for itself.

        we can't fathom what 1000 years in the future will be like, as much as someone 1000 years ago could foresee today.
        so i don't think it's common sense that earth itself will survive.

        wow.. so deep for a dish strainer thread.

        Tech advances don't cease today. But I think they will eventually cease when we theoretically have reached the limit of what can be done. And that is assuming we are good enough to reach that limit. e.g. we could continue to build smaller and smaller processor dies and faster and faster CPUs. But eventually you would reach the planck length. Limits like that would be in other industries also.

        Black holes are formed by the collapse of a super giant star. It would take a tremendous amount of energy to create just a tiny one that's so small it evaporates immediately. I don't know how you could do this by accident, let alone intentionally. The laws of physics and gravity are well understood.

        The device that shatters the core.. maybe you think I'm underestimating our ability, but again I just can't see how you can do that by accident. And how anyone would be stupid enough to do it deliberately, and be allowed to. Yes I know what you're thinking.. people didn't believe we could build a plane until we did. But a plane, and a black hole or device that blows up the core are so far apart they are beyond compare in advancement.

        You're right that we can't see 1000 years into the future just as bronze age people couldn't see today. But it doesn't mean we don't have limits, or the laws of physics don't have limits. I think we will keep advancing until we hit a brick wall that we can't penetrate because we've done everything we could possibly ever do. Assuming we don't wipe ourselves out before then. Our intelligence and knowledge knows no bounds, but the physical realm does. The tech needed to build a black hole is so far off, life on earth will most likely be gone by then, if not by us then by natural causes (the expanding of the sun, a gamma ray burst, etc).

        The way I see it is, if we are going to wipe ourselves out, I think we will do it long before we acquire the ability to build a death star (if such a thing is possible). Earth and life will survive and recover after we're gone. We would cause mass extinctions, but some life will still survive and millions of years later, earth will be once again rich in life as it is today (through evolution). If we can get advanced enough to travel the stars, or build weapons powerful enough to destroy planets, then we will have gotten wise enough to understand how to preserve our planet, and put aside our differences. If we're not good enough to do that, we will never last long enough to reach the level of advancement needed to build death stars or colonize other worlds. I'm semi worried about humanity's future, but I'm not worried about the earth being shattered to bits. And I'm not worried about aliens destroying us. Again, if they're advanced enough to reach us, they too will have come to understand the importance of preserving a planet, and also not wiping themselves out. Else, they wouldn't have made it this far.

        We kind of derailed this post. The mods will probably delete this convo as off-topic, but I hope they leave it. I've had fun.

    That's a one piece with no tray below it to capture the drained water.

    So water will sit under it and stay there until you wipe it off which you'll have to do a lot. Unless your sink bench is slanted and naturally directs the flow into the drain.

    Also, when it gets dirty, just clean it. It saves you the trip to Ikea and $4 if nothing else.

  They've got a great in-house photographer. White dish drainer with white background.
