Electric, the beater bar is probably the worst part of that design (feels a little cheap) but overall I'm pretty happy with the job it does. If you crank it up to max it has some real good suction. Mine is a few years old though, I ended up getting it after my grandmother died since nobody wanted it.

Seat Safety Switch posted:The Dysons feel a little fragile to me, but that might be because of my anti-European bias. I've heard good things about Miele but I will say Mom's been using the same Dyson Animal for 5+ years vacuuming once a day minimum cleaning up after five 100+ pound dogs. She's had to order a couple cheap replacement parts and has to clean it once a month but the thing has survived way longer than anything else she's had.

This is a good plan. We snagged a Dyson cordless from Costco and it's remarkable how nice it is for vacuuming our house (all hard floors so we can knock it all out on battery, no corded vacuum needed).

We've got a Dyson DC 23 (I think, the canister one) and it's been working fine for the last 7-8 years. Only issues we've had is having to replace the brush a few times due to it wearing out (we have some crazy strong carpet, 19 years old and still looks almost new) and cleaning the internals every couple years, and the electrical connection in the hose broke. Their customer support is amazing and ships replacement parts quick and no questions asked. A++ would buy another Dyson

Seat Safety Switch posted:While we're on the subject, who makes a decent vacuum? I've gone through two Bissells this year from beater bar bearings seizing up and melting either the bar or the case. The last one not only got tangled on hair but pushed the hair inside the bearing, where it melted internally. I've had a Dyson for about 11 years now, and it's the best vacuum I've ever owned. To be fair, I've never own any of the expensive brands, just your basic Hoover types prior to the Dyson.

I also liked Stitcher since it let you stream them instead of downloading them. E/N time: About 2 months ago a coworker went on leave. They weren't sure if he was going to come back. Two or three weeks ago we found out that he wasn't coming back and he was in hospice. Today we found out he passed away. Today is not a good day.

Vacuum chat: we got a Dyson 6 or 7 years ago, and it's still a champ. Gets used every couple days minimum. I just soak/wash out the canister and filters once a month and it keeps going.

SCA Enthusiast posted:Why would they put a soft line going to the hottest thing in the engine? That just seems silly. Well, it's up by the block, with a hard steel line running to the actual turbo housing. It's just their cheapest possible solution for tying the turbo lines into the main cooling system on the base Protege.* Why the hell it's made out of rubber when they sprung for silicone radiator hoses from the factory is beyond me. *The MSPs were built as ordinary 2.0 Proteges with special paint colors; they were sent to Callaway after going through port to actually have the turbo kits installed. So everything had to stay as close to the base model layout as possible, including the externally run coolant pipes and rubber hoses/fittings. I found Callaway's parts catalog, the thing I need is number 24 on the diagram, but they don't seem to have it for order. Guess I'll have to see if Mazda can order it for me. I doubt I'll be able to get it from the usual suspects, since they rarely have MSP-specific stuff. Also look at the intercooler inlet pipe, part #29; that's an intake pipe whose sale price is around $240 with shipping. It's more expensive than the (used, but still) TURBOCHARGER. Only the exhaust manifold is more expensive. I swear, I get a job and a garage to work in, I'm trading this for a pony car or a light pickup or something with parts that are common and cheap.

The last one not only got tangled on hair but pushed the hair inside the bearing, where it melted internally. I have a Nilfisk and it's been great so far. Really good suction, surprisingly quiet, good ergonomics, just very high quality in general. My parents have Miele that is roughly its equal, but it's ahead on one point. It's on casters, so it's ridiculously maneuverable.

It's a pretty small piece, the coolant line that goes into it is like 1/4" OD past the flare. Is there some sort of liquid rubber I could dab on both sides with a Q-tip or whatever that would seal the hole and cure quickly while still being flexible?

I have a list of poo poo to do longer than my arm and I'm laid up on the sofa with the flu again, watching watchmen, drinking lukewarm tea. I also have a Dyson cylinder we bought nearly 10 years ago. Apart from the cord retract getting all  I don't yet have an excuse to replace it with a fancy battery one.

Something like Liquid Electrical Tape comes to mind, or maybe a two-part epoxy, or some silicone sealer. RTV maybe? If these are bad suggestions someone will probably yell at me, so maybe wait a second before you gum up your coolant galleys.

Just go find a section of heater hose that fits. Drain enough coolant to not make a huge mess and bring it to a parts store, you could probably find something close. Or, just go with a piece of silicone that is flexible enough to work.

Just got my landrover to start for the first time in almost 2 years!.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXV4msqFWCI Was amazed it starts and it even holds a steady RPM for a short period, considering that the LPG feed pipe is just loosely sat in place (the hiss in the video is LPG leaking out), as is all the intake pipework, and there are poo poo loads of vacuum leaks on the plenum where i haven't plumbed poo poo up.

Pham Nuwen posted:Yo, STR and other goons in the know. Kenmore's the brand to get for refrigerators, right? We have to get one for the new house. We'd like a bottom-freezer model with ice maker and, ideally, water dispenser; any suggestions? I recently updated to a mack daddy Kenmore bottom freezer, stainless steel model. List price was $2499 (probably real world normal sales $1800-2000). I ended up paying less than $1300 and getting a free grill out of it. Combination of getting it on sale, putting it on online layaway, buying discounted Sears gift cards to make the payments combined with some Shop Your Way points. I have all new Kenmore higher end appliances now in my small house and I don't have a single complaint.

Deadpool is firmly a part of the X-Men film franchise, how is it 3rd Party?

There's a handful more, but as long as you stay out of the nsfw ones, you're good. I think I've got like 8 subs that I am subscribed to. Saying there is anything decent at Reddit is exactly like saying there is still edible corn in a huge turd. And if there is anything decent for sake of discussion, why the gently caress would I give myself a ginormous headache trying to decypher it with that utterly hideous layout? (Saying any eggball / handball / football site is decent is enough for me to call bullshit. NONE of them are and I'm not just talking about that pathetic bullshit the Yanks pretend is a watchable game)

Jesus Christ, I loving hate people. There's a tiny angry old man in our service drive who's been losing his poo poo and screaming at our Assistant Service Manager for a solid 20 minutes about how we damaged his car and we have to pay for it or he's going to sue. This is AFTER he brought him into the Service Managers office, where they viewed the security footage from today together, and said tiny angry old man is quite visibly pulling into our service drive with all damage on his vehicle present. I'm not even involved and I want to go tell this guy to gently caress off.
