The Trump administration has moved to dissolve the ban on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's removal so that it can proceed with his deportation to Liberia. In a series of filings overnight, government attorneys said that the Salvadoran native's claim of fear of torture or persecution in the African nation was denied after he was interviewed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services last week. The attorneys for the Department of Justice argued that the preliminary injunction blocking Abrego Garcia's removal to Liberia should be dissolved because the government received assurances from the government of the West African country that he will not be persecuted or tortured.

No one likes doing the dishes, but the tedious chore is made much easier when using a dishwasher. However, an alarming amount of people have reported that their dishwashers can actually make the job harder because they don't properly fit their dishes.Some stuff is just too difficult or annoying to clean by hand. Wine glasses always come out smudgy. Anything that had grease or oil on it will usually come out of the sink with a little leftover film on it. Big cooking dishes like pots and pans with food caked on there? Good luck. The dishwasher is the perfect solution, except a lot of these things frustratingly never seem to fit!And that's where Twitter user Mike McLoughlin (@zuroph) comes in. McLoughlin made an observation about his dishwasher that would change the way he does dishes forever.For a decade, the Irishman thought that the bottom rack of his washer simply was too small for his large dinner plates. Then he made an amazing discovery: The top rack is adjustable. I repeat, the top rack is adjustable! media4.giphy.com In a now viral post on Twitter/X, McLoughlin wrote:"I moved into this house in 2008. It always annoyed me that the lower level of the dishwasher wasn’t tall enough to fit my biggest dinner plates. Been handwashing them all this time. This week I discovered you can raise the upper shelf and all my plates fit fine. TEN F**KING YEARS" he wrote on X.You can also lower the upper shelf to accommodate taller glasses, wine glasses, etc. So depending on what you're trying to wash, chances are your dishwasher can be configured to make it fit. Mind blown!The tweet went totally viral, and was shared over 14,000 times. It seems McLoughlin wasn't the only one who didn't know most dishwashers had this feature.O. M. G. I hate that my dishwasher is too short for my plates. Every time I load it, I shout "who designed this stupid thing?"Thank you 1000 times, Mike.— Sidney Merritt (@sidmerritt) July 29, 2018 The "hack" (is it still called a hack if the appliance is doing what it is supposed to be doing?) blew people's minds: "err, not only you mate. I've been in this house 4 years and didn't realize..." a user wrote."Woke up this morning. Saw your tweet. Leapt out of bed and feverishly emptied top rack of dishwasher. Viola! Rack move up," said another. But other people were basically like, "Seriously, dude?"A handful of respondents to the post were not impressed by McLoughlin's discovery. Apparently, for some folks, the movable top rack is common knowledge.Your dishwasher: pic.twitter.com/YBJemGQVAx— roman (@TimesNewRxman) January 28, 2018 While a group of others tried to one-up McLoughlin with stories of their own:"18 YEARS! I've had mine 18 years and only just realised! I used to lie the plates down so they would wash! I'm raging and ecstatic all at the same time. Do you have any other helpful hints about how to live life efficiently?!" wrote a user named Toby.But mostly, people were just thankful for the knowledge, and thankful that they wouldn't have to keep living in the dark ages any longer.Wait until they find out that in many models, you can remove the top rack completely! It's often a little more complicated, but once you do that, a whole new world of washing options open up to you. Without the top rack installed, your dishwasher can probably fit your biggest and most challenging pots and pants.Here’s how to check whether your rack adjusts in under 10 seconds If your dishwasher was made any time after the mid-2000s, follow this quick test: Pull out the top rack completely. Look on both sides for: a small lever a sliding plastic tab a squeeze clip a button-style release Lift or lower both sides evenly so it doesn’t tilt. If you see any of these mechanisms? Congratulations, your rack is adjustable. You can switch it depending on whether you need room for tall plates or tall wine glasses.Of course, you could also consult the owner's manual, but who actually keeps those? Most dishwashers made in the last decade have multiple hidden featuresIt turns out the adjustable top rack is just the beginning. Manufacturers have added a ton of cool features in the past ten years that many people may never notice, including:fold-down tines for oddly shaped potsthird racks for long utensils or lidsretractable cutlery traysbottle jets for narrow containershalf-load or quick-wash cycles that save tons of waterEven older models sometimes hide these gems…you just have to know where to look. Okay, now go on and get reacquainted with your dishwasher. You know you want to.This article first appeared seven years ago. It has been updated.
