Going to have to disagree based on personal experience (which admittedly has limited value). Bought LG washer, dryer, and fridge when we moved. The washer blew the clutch seal after about 4 and a half years. The dryer sensor is unreliable (leading to taking jeans or blankets out, them still being damp, and having to put them back in on a timer). And the fridge compressor sounds like it’s struggling.
The most absurd part is that we replaced the washer with a similar LG model (one with an agitator - I looked into just replacing the part but it was half the price of the washer, the underside of the impeller was moldy because lack of water flow, something no amount of tub clean cycles will fix, and the outer bucket was absolutely disgusting from the leak, with no easy way to hose it out) because everything else was either crap, ridiculously expensive, or both.
Well I’m glad to hear you had a better experience than I did. I have my fingers crossed that everything holds up on this end, and the washer was a freak occurrence.
I swear their beds are about as long as the one I had in my 1987 Ranger.
So I asked my aunt for help hauling things back and forth to a convention this past spring. She has an enormous Ram pickup, I have a tiny little xB. A lot of the stuff I was bringing was stored in 45 gallon totes, and I knew from past experience that I could fit three in my car with the back seats folded down, and have room for thinner containers on top.
Imagine my surprise when we go to load up the truck and find that it fit the same number of totes in the bed, and they just barely cleared the bed cover. The cavernous back seat helped make up for it thankfully, but I was floored that the cargo areas were comparable.
The last application I wrote in VBA/Excel is still running 24/7 on a big screen in the command center of a company that was purchased for several billion dollars.
And yes, there are multiple database sheets. Filled with data scraped from another database. Data that was being written down on paper before I arrived and decided to learn VBA instead of develop permanent hand cramps.
Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer....
Those lines have been diverging for over a generation. You’ll need a vice grip the size of the Grand Canyon to squeeze hard enough make any real world difference.
You mean that sub that saw a huge surge in subscribers, increased bad faith actors, and general chaos ahead of the infamous mod schism that shredded any credibility that might have been hanging on?
As someone who watched it happen in real time, no one will ever be able to convince me that all of that was a coincidence.
Only weak pansy cars have crumple zones. Back in my day, the cars were built stronger. You could run over a cat and barely feel it. Head on collision? I could drive away from those, provided the engine block didn’t end up in the passenger space. These modern cars just give up and die, and the mandatory seat belts just trap you inside instead of being safely thrown clear of the vehicle. AMERICAN STEEL! LEADED GASOLINE! I YEARN FOR THE GOOD OL DAYS!
If it was exclusively filled with twatwaffles like DeSantis, I would agree. But there’s a shitton of people that were born there, have nothing to do with the policies (if not actively voting against the people enacting them), and don’t have the resources to up and leave.
I’ve been pondering this one myself for awhile. I knew a decade ago that, barring massive financial change, I would never be able to afford to retire. So these are the options:
Work until I die
Work until I can’t (or nobody will hire me/pay a living wage), live off of savings until I can’t, then die
Stop working, live off of savings until I can’t, then die
The first two are the default and just kind of accepted by society as fair and just. The last one, strangely, gets all sorts of pushback, even though the only material difference is 20-30 years of mundane toil to make line go up.
