Do you have a brand new combine harvester?

But seriously, when I was younger, the only people I ever saw drinking cider fit one of those categories, and it's never lost the association for me.

Isn't that usually an installation problem on window units? They just dribble out the back, and have to be installed with a bit of a slope to the outside. I noted on the one I use in my garage that the fan on the condenser is designed to dip into the condensate and spray it onto the condenser for a little bit more evaporative cooling.

That's what I thought, but when I first noticed the water I tried tilting it a bit more outward. Maint came out with an identical one, and we compared them side by side. The one they gave me the first time had very obviously been dropped. Repeatedly. Quite possibly drop kicked, and likely used to club baby seals to death. Chassis was twisted pretty bad, lots of dents in it, all of the plastic on it was cracked and the chassis was cracked in one spot on the bottom (how the gently caress do you even DO that?!). I'm amazed it worked at all, but I don't handle heat very well; at the time I was just thankful to have it.

It's been running since about 6:30pm, still dry inside, and not much water outside. AFAIK, pretty much any unit since the 90s or so is designed to splash the water over the condenser; less water to drip, and improves efficiency a bit.

That was some ugly stuff they took out.

No kidding. My allergies have been hell since I moved here, all that poo poo that was in the drip pan (which was half slime, half rust) wasn't doing me any favors. Wasn't moving poo poo for air either; the air filter installed at the moment is 6 months old, and barely has any dust on it.

Good cider is delicious.
As is good beer - and hoppy beers rule, sorry to all of you who can't appreciate it ;) But I like good lagers, stouts, gently caress you name it - except bud. Sorry Bud likers, but you have terrible taste. That is the one beer I literally cannot drink - it tastes like my cats litterbox smells.

I also like scotch, caesar's, good rums, wine, port, brandy, and most other alcohols.

I'm also fat as gently caress and cutting back on bad habits, but, hey, nobody is perfect.

I just started a dialogue with a dude in a local car club, he needs a 4 door car as he is suddenly saddled with being a single dad to two kids. And he has a non running 96 Miata up for trade. So I should absolutely swap the PT for that car right? And then LS Swap the motor?

If it's non running it could be something as simple as a hosed CAS or broken timing belt.

Step back into the 1990s... Neons were lovely, unreliable and poorly designed so that servicing them sucked.

The PT Cruiser is a Neon underneath, with shittier design to make servicing them even suckier, along with poo poo production quality, poo poo materials and poo poo styling.

Other than that, they're okay, I guess.

Well, it is a Chrysler product... that was a basically Neon with 700lbs of ugly bodywork bolted on and classified as a light truck for fleet fuel economy reasons. It was supposed to be cool for young adults, but the only people who really liked them were dads who wear knock-off Tommy Bahama shirts from JC Penney. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Edit: The DOHC Neons were kind a cool for their day. They got fat, soft and boring quick though and the early ones all fell apart.

And the PT Cruiser was once a genuinely good piece of exterior design, in the vein of their late Plymouth designs, that Chrysler was too lazy to improve on over the course of a decade. Chrysler's policy of :regd08: and the reluctance to address basic problems with the car for so long got to the point that everyone hated it as much for what it represented as for what it actually was

Yes I am, and caffeine is not prohibited, but in the past it was advised against because people can become addicted. I believe it can be addictive for some, all things in moderation etc. Re: your auntie & uncle some people like to interpret a suggestion how they may but it is not a commandment. Tea/Coffee and alcohol are against what is colloquially referred to as the "Word of Wisdom" which is a guideline for a code of health. It is a list of things to do as well as things to abstain from. I personally do live by those tenets and in my 32 years of life have actually never touched alcohol, tobacco or any illegal drugs. Doesn't mean I get all judgey towards those that do either, the way I would hope they don't judge me for choosing to not.

CommieGIR posted:

This is true, hypocrisy is found inside the LDS faith as well as outside. I think that is one of the great challenges of life is truly learning to love and sincerely care about people regardless of their choices and lifestyle. I actually feel I have learned so much and have grown a lot in that regard over the last few years. Specifically since becoming a father.

Nailed it. Don't think they did a flush (if they did, they did it before I woke up today - I was asleep when they started), and the lines from the coil had several different sizes of stubs used to hook everything up. :v: One guy did everything solo.

It works though. It works drat good compared to what I had before. I've already had to close off the vent by my desk, and it's dropped the inside temp 13 degrees in a little over an hour. It's a hack job for sure, but it works.

Thanks to a childhood spent attempting to be a Good Mormon I had very little exposure to "hot drinks" and no real temptation to try them. In my adult life I have never spent enough effort to actually acquire a taste for alcohol. Cheap beer or expensive, all I taste is the alcohol and all kinds of bitterness.
