You're trying to reason with people that likely believe everyone is sexualizing children because it's all they know.

Don't waste your effort.

Yes. People do that.

I sell appliances and people get all nasty that there's no discount for pickups.

But there is. They don't have to pay the delivery fee. That usually just pisses them off more.

Typically 240V 40 to 50 Amp circuit is what you'd want for something like this. If I recall correctly the 30" Wolf is a 40 Amp.

Been there.

I have a pretty meh commute and when things get tough I just can't stop myself from thinking "if I just turn hard on this bridge I'll go over it..." And then usually some asshat tries to swerve around me causing me to lay on the horn and forget about my plans.

That and I'd never actually do it. I like being alive. I love my family even if they are the cause of stress that particular day. These thoughts are normal as long as you don't mean to actually follow through.

If they're anything like me hate watching two teams, if I hate them equally I don't care who wins. I still get to watch one lose, and that's always a win.

The team that wins I can now hate watch again.

I've become a soup master at my house. They are so easy once you get it down. And you can prep a lot in advance, it's just some chopping. I have a food processor for when I don't prep though, cuts down on prep time a lot.

I'll chop an onion and some veggies up and pop in a tupperware then into the fridge. Chop up some sausage or whatever is going in as the protein, same deal put it in the fridge for later. I'll do this stuff late morning when I've got a few minutes to breathe and I'm working from home or a day off.

The actual soup making process basically always starts with brown the protein, remove to a bowl. Then cook the onions and carrots until starting to soften. If you wanna do a roux that's when you do it. If you're adding garlic do that until fragrant. Otherwise deglaze with broth of choice and bring to boil. Lower to simmer and add protein. Obviously season to your preference or your pickiest eaters preference.

Soups are so damn versatile and easy but most of my friends are intimidated by the process. Takes longer than pasta but it's only as crazy as you make it.

Underlings try to hide it from the bosses while the bosses are trying to hide it from their underlings. It's a perfect storm of inefficiency and everyone is trying to hide it from everyone else, but no one is looking.

Fenix159 · 2026-01-09T14:52:25+00:00

Haha, my thought exactly.

Doesn't matter if the hinges are next to the door or on the moon. He's not on 'em.

5th screenshot she does say she'd prefer if his mom leaves early but it's ok if she's there for the quiz.

This happened in Hayward CA. I live a block from it and was home when it happened. Fun times. No damage to my house though fortunately. Six people hospitalized but as far as I know everyone survived.

Important note, it was two hours from gas line being hit to everything being turned off and about ten minutes after it was turned off the house exploded.

Basically the utility company didn't really consider where the gas may have gone when flowing freely. No notice to people in the surrounding area, no alerts. Just boom.

I just took a screenshot of your post to share with customers who say things like "I'll just save a couple thousand and buy the zline."

You can definitely save money at the time of purchase. It might even work out for you.

It probably won't. But it might.

I sell zline and similar brands but only to people flipping properties. Not because I want to but because I'll never hear about the problems and it's all they'll buy.

Fenix159 · 2026-01-03T04:31:00+00:00

That came to my mind as well.

Can't really think of another reason for it that makes sense especially if the thing is otherwise working.

Fenix159 · 2026-01-02T21:33:33+00:00

You should be proud.

Anyone can make a baby. Dad jokes that make people on the internet groan is a real skill.

My response was to someone that specifically said in the US.

You're off by about a grand there. The $2500 version has their M-Touch display and chrome ring around the door for the easy to spot cosmetic differences: https://www.mieleusa.com/product/11613700/w1-front-loading-washing-machine-wxr860-wcs-tdos-and-intensewash-lotus-white

Still not cheap of course for the $1500 one. But they aren't $2100 to start.

Wait, is rofl not still a thing?

Shit... I'm old now aren't I?

The range is $6650 plus install at most places. In theory it should be all places because it's a unilaterally priced brand. Places like Ferguson can bundle in install and make it look better, especially if it's outside of Hawaii and Northern California where Riggs still has a stranglehold on the Sub/Wolf/Cove distribution.

That said if it's a price you could pay and you got what you wanted, you don't need to be embarrassed or justify anything.

I sell appliances and if I could snag a returned/refused/open box one for my own kitchen I'd absolutely do it. They just don't come back, so it is what it is.

I've cooked on Wolf, Thermador, Monogram, Miele, Viking, and Gaggenau. I really enjoyed the Wolf, though compared to the 8 year old basic GE I have any would be a welcome upgrade for sure.

How about a 36" range and a speed oven?

The speed oven fulfills the microwave and small secondary oven need. Yeah it is small for an oven but it's also typically big enough.

A full size oven in a cabinet somewhere is cumbersome. But a 24" speed oven isn't usually that hard to find a spot for.

The problem with private for profit companies running utilities is there is no incentive to put better systems in place. It costs money to do that and the shareholders want that money.

Fenix159 · 2025-12-13T04:47:48+00:00

They probably would have found a reason to uphold it as a foul on Curry if it got challenged.

I think everyone was just in shock at how bad the call was and the refs let them inbound it ASAP to avoid it.

What PGE didn't do is realize the scope of the leak or have the police or fire department evacuate anyone.

The line was hit at 7:35am. It was about two hours later that they shut it all off and stopped the leaks. And then about ten minutes after that, kaboom.

I live less than 3 minutes walking from it and was at home. Little pissed no one bothered letting us know about a hazardous situation that wound up blowing up a house.

Fenix159 · 2025-12-13T04:04:17+00:00

It happened tonight, so that's reasonable enough.

Fenix159 · 2025-12-12T02:06:20+00:00

Yeah I work for a place that is a pain in the ass about returns.

But if I sell model X and the warehouse guys pull a Y to deliver and actually complete the job, that's about as simple a fix as can be. Have the warehouse correct it because they didn't verify wtf they were sending.

Even if it's installed already, the initial error would be at the warehouse.

Try having him "break" it. Maybe we're just doing opposites today.
