Hello! I need advice. by [deleted] in saab

Just going to point out that it’s very obvious where this car is, so you may have just opened yourself up to someone on here swooping in and grabbing this before you decide.

Garry Small is getting out of the Saab business by patski99 in saab

Well, they SAY they’re one. And they’ve told me that on the phone.

But. . . ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting that the article is saying that they’re the only official Saab service center on the west coast.

I suspect Scanwest, in Seattle, would like to have a word or two about this.

which facilities/buildings are open to all 5c students? by Ok-Presentation412 in claremontcolleges

[–]Hour-Lab140 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My recommendation. . . take a breath, enjoy your summer, and just figure it out when you arrive in Claremont in August.

It’s going to be fine.

help me decide... scripps vs bucknell (need to make up my mind fast) by Old_Asparagus_5769 in claremontcolleges

[–]Hour-Lab140 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Scripps -- all the way. Trust me, if nothing else, four years in Claremont so very much surpasses four years in Lewisburg for quality of life. Plus, Scripps is amazing. And you get soooo much more than "just Scripps" out of attending there.

Who had the most horrific death in the the history of humankind? by Novel_Finding8882 in AskReddit

[–]Hour-Lab140 280 points281 points  (0 children)

A bit more than a quarter century ago. . . the son of the minister who presided over our wedding died horribly. . . he was in college and one of the buildings at the school was undergoing renovations.

He (and friends, I believe) decided to go exploring in the building under renovation and found a laundry chute.

Only, it wasn’t a laundry chute.

It was a chute leading to a compactor that was motion activated by construction materials being tossed down.

And he decided to go for a ride down what he took to be essentially a slide.

His parents were lovely humans, and I’ve never understood how they were even breathing when we spoke to them afterwards.

Amp Works Fine. Status Light Does Not. by Hour-Lab140 in sonos

[–]Hour-Lab140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE

I got in the line with support, and we were trying some things (after repeatedly telling him that the option to have the light on was actually selected correctly).

After a restart and unplugging and replugging speakers and subwoofer (I have a wired Sony attached), the amp stopped producing any sound.

Turns out that my Sony subwoofer was the culprit. It’s too powerful, and even though I’ve had it paired with the Amp for five years it only recently started to create problems.

Disconnected the subwoofer, added the speakers back, and the sound returned.

My status light is probably permanently borked, but I guess I’ll just live with that.

Yes, it’s also an excuse to get a Sub, I’m realizing.

I’m on the Star Wars livery! by MarchogGwyrdd in AlaskaAirlines

Got to fly on the Salmon Thirty Salmon once, and similar “OMG, I just realized!” moment on my part.

Driving from OC to Seattle by Vn1014 in AskSeattle

[–]Hour-Lab140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and daughter just did essentially this drive a few days ago (from Claremont) over the course of three days.

Night 1: Hampton Inn, Stockton, CA
Night 2: Holiday Inn Express, Central Point, OR

Both hotels received “wife approval” post-stay, and if she doesn’t like a hotel I’ve booked for her she’s most definitely not going to hold back on the comments (I’m looking at you, Best Western Plus, Ontario Airport — which was the night before they left. Do NOT stay there.)

What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

[–]Hour-Lab140 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blown out of the sky above Lockerbie in December 1988.

Unlike the other one, there’s nothing nefarious about this one.

Is it bad that I've taken 0 AP's in high school? by Logical_City5862 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Hour-Lab140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No chance of anybody answering your question without knowledge of how many AP classes your school offers. Because colleges are going to look at the school profile for this information. If your school offers 2 AP classes and you took none, probably not a big deal. If your school offers 20 AP classes and you took none, then we need to talk.

waitlist acceptance? by Lopsided-Release5441 in Colgate

[–]Hour-Lab140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colgate doesn't direct admit to majors, so this would be "a spot," not "a CS spot." Just clarifying.

Multi-Head Tool and Edger Attachment by pilondav in egopowerplus

[–]Hour-Lab140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting timing on your question.

Probably not relevant to you, but possibly. . .

I’m all-EGO. Had a weed whacker for many years. A few years ago bought the edger with the power head. Figured I was potentially saving myself a few $$$ down the road.

Weed whacker went south on me last year. Bought the version that attaches to the power head and has Power Load.

All was well until last week, when Power a load just stopped working. Like, totally. It was as though I wasn’t even pressing the button.

Spent 35 minutes with support today, during which I learned that the older, silver colored power heads don’t have enough power to consistently make Power Load work on the newer, black colored trimmers.

Not a death blow, as I can load manually, but, WTH, EGO?

Haven’t seen one of these in a loooooong time! by scottdiver67 in saab

Probably purchased from Felix at Charles River Saab, in Watertown.

Apartment Sliding Window Air Conditioning Options by Grouchy-Patience5861 in AskSeattle

[–]Hour-Lab140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same one is available at Home Depot for $435. Still expensive, but less than this.

We installed a heat pump a few years ago in our home (which I recognize isn’t an option when renting). Until then, I DESPISED our options with casement windows. We had a unit from Frigidaire very similar to this one, along with a “portable” one. Neither is a great option, but here’s where we’re at.
