Every front loader I looked at in Lowes yesterday while picking up a rat trap (fucker chewed the power cord for my desktop gigabit switch, the desk lamp, and my GODDAMNED SHOP-VAC HOSE. For this he will die) was $800+ That's ridiculous. Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:That's loving annoying. I always thought the Kenmore-by-Whirlpool stuff was just rebranded, without parts specific to Kenmore. I mean, I'm sure it does have a cross reference part, but so far the parts I've had to replace on my "Kenmore" washer have all come up with Whirlpool part numbers with enough digging, and everything inside it has been straight Whirlpool. Oh, they're all Whirlpool part numbers, but the parts sites list certain ones (like the CCU) just for Kenmore washers, while other part number, like the actual control panel board for mine, will list for Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag. angryrobots posted:At my wife's work, they bought a (Whirlpool I think) residential-grade front loader, and washed heavy towel loads at least twice daily for over 5 years. Finally part of the drum or suspension broke, but I thought that was pretty good for the abuse it received. I've got no complaints about the performance of the machine, and I'm sort of impressed that it worked at all with the Frankenstein control system. The only thing that truly pisses me off about it is how super brittle the plastic housing for the control panel board and the CCU get when they age. It's a common issue, and folks are complaining about it on parts sites, since you can't buy just that plastic part. The actual outside part of the control panel, and other external plastic trim, is fine. It's just the carrier for the boards, which unfortunately also provide the mounting and spring action for the external-facing buttons. I'm going to have to be creative to make the buttosn work again, likely involving JB Weld.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Wait so your stomach is now 1/4 the size? Yikes. What kind of fun is to be expected from this procedure? Dramatic weight loss in the 150-200 lb in 12 months range. It also removes the part of the digestion system that creates the hormone that makes you feel hungry until your body recovers the ability to do it in about 2-3 years. The idea is by that time all the needed lifestyle changes have been made to make the weight loss life long. Right now in day 8 I am basically on fat free, sugar free pudding and jello 2-3 times a day. On Thursday I can try pouched eggs and mashed potatoes! It has the other benefit of saving money by only spending $30 a week on feed and never wanting to go out anywhere.

This part is actually a bit big for common printers, since it's 2 to 2-1/2 feet long (slightly less that a typical washer is wide) but could be made in two or three parts and solvent welded together, I suppose.

Should be easy to touch up, and just think of the car as yours now. This has sorta happened to me as well. Bought a brand new 2009 cobalt ss/tc and got rear ended a month later. It was at night and I didn’t see damage so I took the lady’s info and left. The next morning I found the hole in the bumper cover from her license plate bolt. The information she gave was incomplete and she would never return my calls after the first. Lesson learned etc. Also, got let go from work effective tomorrow. Knew it was coming since they closed the plant in 2016, but its still painful. Also informed they won’t be paying me the severance for years of service and were docking me for the vacation I just took. I have a contract re: the severance but I will need a lawyer I think to get it honored and in that case it will take months and 3/4 of what its worth to recover anything.

It is pearl white with the metallic in it. Can’t blame the dealer I sure didn’t see it at delivery. Went to a concert in Nashville in it so must have been a rock from the highway. I’m gonna hit Hyundai up tomorrow and see if they can goodwill someone touching it up, when I try it looks like someone put whiteout on a scratch. Otherwise I’ll freaking pay someone to. It’s very small but through the paint. Man. Edit: sorry about your job loss, sucks everdave fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Jan 30, 2018 |

Oh man, gently caress dealerships forever. I had to take the Challenger in for the famed Takata airbag recall, and they'd already diagnosed a problem with the differential that's covered under warranty. So they set me up an appointment for two weeks out, and two weeks later (Jan 9th) I take it up there. No contact initiates from them from that point forward. I call them weekly to check up, and they didn't start working until last Friday. I told them the ABS light is on, they diagnose a bad wheel speed sensor. It's literally a $10 part and 15 minutes to fix in the driveway. So they want $250 for that and tell me I need a $400 brake job too (Brembo brake pads "cost more"), except I did the brakes in December. I told them to pound sand. On top of that, there are greasy fingerprints on every wheel, then they claim they goodwilled the warranty work despite diagnosing it and setting the appointment up was before the warranty ran out so I shouldn't complain. I went and picked it up today and told them I'd never buy anything from them or have any service done. I wasn't given a survey to fill out, I wonder why?

Long story and I don't have the models yet, but say someone had a low mileage 1991 and 2012 Ferrari, and they're not crazy exclusive models. I'm trying to figure out the max they could be worth (as collateral), and from what I can tell your most valuable combination would be a 1991 Testarossa and a 2012 458. Wikipedia shows the 599 as going through 2012, but I don't see any for sale in the US. Anything I'm missing here? Looks like it'd be ~$150k for a lower mileage Testarossa, although they have some listed way higher with under 10k miles, and maybe $200k for a 2012 458. Supposedly they're "investments" worth 450 to 500k, but I'm getting the feeling that's way too high unless they're both something like 2k miles.

So, I know u posted the one hot wheels pic, but I gotta share the nerd story. They had 3 bins of hot wheels, and there are 6 Beatles cars. I spent a solid 15 minutes digging through them, found 5, could not find the 6th and I was getting super annoyed. So annoyed that, while I was digging, my wife found the missing one on eBay and ordered it just so I would shut the gently caress up  Also, as a totally normal adult, is it weird to just put your lunch Tupperware in a plastic bag and take it to work? I just...dont feel the need to spend money on a lunch box, but I guess I'm going to because it's 'sad to watch a grown rear end man carry his lunch in a plastic sack.'

Eh, gently caress it, unless you care what people think I guess. I kind of care, so I have a leather saddlebag briefcase from Copper River Bags that I carry my lunch and coffee thermos in. I bought it like 7 years ago because I liked it, but it gets a ton of compliments and is way nicer than some dorky-rear end insulated lunch thing. Of course if your commute is long and/or hot that might not work out so well. Also gently caress, Copper River got trendy/expensive! I paid $100 for my bag years ago because it was literally just motorcycle saddlebags, and I really liked them. poo poo. As a side note, it never ceases to amaze me how many of my coworkers buy lunch at our cafe every.single.day at work. We're a non-profit touristy kinda spot which is an brutal 1-2 combination for expensive food and lovely wages, so I dunno what the hell they are thinking. We get a fair staff discount, but the food is lovely so I don't even know. That's at minimum ~$125/month.

I have a "24 can" soft cooler that I bought at Canadian Tire for $3.50. It started ripping apart immediately, and the rubber coating on the liner has all but turned to dust in the three years it has been my lunchbox/work toolbag. We have a fridge in my work area so it only really carries food once a shift block to replenish my supply of cold cuts and bread. E: Looks kinda like the larger one of these two, except mine is grey orange and black: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/outbound-picnic-combo-soft-cooler-2-pc-24-can-0853718p.html#srp Lots of people at work have various different colours of the same bag, all in the same condition, because we all saw them on sale for $3.50 at CT three years ago and beat the everloving hell out of them.

Obviously if they are in violation of the contract for severance that's a no-brainer, but the vacation? If they approved it and then you were let go after you took it, then that's not something I think they can legally take back, as it wasn't like you took a vacation and then walked in the first day back and quit. I'd certainly be lawyer hunting even if the lawyer was going to take 100% of what they owed me just to give them a huge "gently caress You" for pulling bullshit like that. I bet a good lawyer could even get them a big ol' fine from the state for pulling that poo poo. Obviously I don't know your situation or where you even are, but if it were me, where I am, I'd be in the HR office letting them know that I'll be getting a lawyer if 100% of my pay wasn't in my hands by whatever the legal time frame is for paying me after releasing me involuntarily. gently caress companies that think it's okay to steal from their employees.

Re: lunchbag chat. I've got all sorts of things. Disposable styrofoam coolers, Small hard coolers. Slightly larger hard coolers. Even slightly larger hard coolers, dozens of bags, large coolers, soft sided coolers, custom bags made from leftover wetsuits and coozies... all sorts of poo poo. More often than not I just shove what I can into my backpack or a plastic bag or a $10 drawstring bag from Columbia. Sometimes though I'll do it right and load up the whole bed of my truck with coolers full of BBQ and use my multiple handtrucks and garden carts to tote it into the office. I think my favorite vessel is the $5 Costco soft cooler bags though. They can carry about 100lbs each with no problem and keep poo poo cold pretty much all day. Once I loaded 3 sacks of concrete mix into one and carried it from Lowes to my truck in an adjacent parking lot because I didn't feel like driving or returning the cart.
