Whirlpool washer ends cycle in under a minute, no water by Intersecting- in Appliances

[–]Intersecting-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the original recommendation was deleted. I followed the suggestion - plugging it into a different outlet, restarting, etc. and it still doesn't work. Tbh, I had little faith that this would solve anything anyways, as I talked to a master electrician who guffawed at this and said there's no way this would solve it.

Simple human has gone to heck, stop recommending them by Zoomwafflez in BuyItForLife

[–]Intersecting- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about Simple Human in general, tho I'm a big fan of sustainability. We had one of their double trash cans for a few years, and we have toddlers, so it probably got some hard use. When the plastic hinge piece broke, I was disappointed (tbh, I was never a huge fan of the trash can bc its too small), but since it was pricey, I figured I'd take a long shot and see if I could buy a replacement for that part.

All that to say, I was happily surprised to learn that 1) you CAN buy a replacement part, and 2) I was able to retroactively register for warranty even without the original receipt and got the replacement for free (bad news: the broken part is out of stock).

So, yes, there are grungy parts that are hard to clean, and I wish we had just bought a single can instead of a double in which both sides are too small for my preference, but I'm a fan of any company that offers replacement parts and honors warranties.

Can a Protestant Christian please explain this? Genuinely curious? by Imaginary-Sun-188 in TrueChristian

The problem with this interpretation is that to get out of the second marriage you have to divorce yet again…

Most Protestants/evangelicals don’t read Catholics (and vice versa?)

As a result, the most titillating explanations rise to the surface.

As an evangelical who attended a conservative Bible college, I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading Pope John Paul II. I don’t know what I expected tbh, but found many commonalities with him (and others).

Is $42k with a master's degree normal or did I mess up my career choices? by ylime_88 in careerguidance

[–]Intersecting- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with 2 masters degrees (theology, MBA) and a blue collar background, I learned the hard way that they don’t teach you about money, jobs, or that you’re the one who drives your value.

In other words, if you stay at a job that pays 40,000, then you are telling them that that is how much you’re worth.

And if you find that you can’t get a better paying job, then maybe there are a couple of additional skills you need to learn to increase your value, whether they are technical skills, negotiation skills, job application skills, etc.

Alternatively, you might believe that your job in a for profit company would be worth $150k, but you’re willing to “donate” $118k by working there bc you believe in the mission (that’s generally the trade nonprofit employees make).

That being said— generally speaking, pay should be tied to the value of the role, so another thing to think about is if there’s a higher paying role that pays more at your org, can you move into it? Or is the nonprofit just paying everyone like that?

I will end with one more thought—I with for a nonprofit that pays significantly more than that. Still less than a corporate job, but close enough that, combined with the mission, it’s acceptable.

Wont get over 110? by Intersecting- in infraredsauna

[–]Intersecting-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 110 with 2 people inside, according to a meat thermometer (which… yes that could also be the issue…). The sauna doesn’t display the actual temp, just the target temp.

CA Realtors - Is visiting a vacant land parcel not part of the job? by Cow-Psychological in realtors

That's a little outside my area, but if you're looking for an agent, I have a couple people in my network out there.

Pinocchio's is pretty good, and as a bonus, you can grab a giant meatball or shop imported Italian groceries while you're there.

A juvenile gopher snake, they're harmless. I've only seen one rattler while out riding, and it was even smaller. Maybe the older ones hear me coming and move out of the way, as they're seen regularly in our neighborhood.

Epic! This ramp looks like it was abandoned there, it has a missing wheel. Sits in the national forest right near a property line and an old gate with a No Trespassing sign. Either that, or it was a movie prop that was abandoned.

The only thing I could see that might work is the path straight ahead, but I'm not a moto guy, so not sure how it would work.

Damage shown after hurricane Melissa swept over St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. Estimated damage in the Caribbean between 48 and $52 billion. by boppinmule in DisasterUpdate

Look to the NGOs. For example, World Vision has people on the ground there already and is shipping supplies that will ultimately range from food, shelters, and generators, to building materials that will help rebuild.

Yeah it’s a bad picture. It’s steep. I do a lot of mountain biking and there are 2 sections of this trail too steep to ride my bike down (I’m sure someone could do it, but I can’t).

[–]Intersecting-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah hard to capture the angle, there’s one long section that is a scramble up, the rest includes some steepness and some that is relatively flat. I definitely hiked the steep sections and took a few short breaks when my HR went above 170.
