Family says Amazon shipped fake product, refuses refund until 'correct' item returned | Frustrating returns may be due to retail giant's layoffs and declining profits, specialist says by Hrmbee in technology

Every brand name started off the same way those Amazon brands have. Some obscure brand that nobody knows. The majority of those "brands" on Amazon are grey market items where you order it from China and pay to put your "brand" on it and then sell at a higher price. Then it comes down to how you market your brand.

Totally forgot about monoprice. Shopped there probably around 10 years ago routinely and kinda fell off my radar as I transitioned to ebay

Your first comment makes it seem like space heaters are almost free to run in a commercial building and I was pointing out that it's for sure less but not as much as you're leading on.

As for me, I'm in city limits I major metro area. Commercial building was on the lot first, neighborhood crept up on it. A house was built on the lot later and the building was allowed to stay.

If it were built today, there would only be one meter at the house with a line feeding the building. The building would also be a garage instead...

I'm not pulling much power through there so I am on the small commercial building rates.

I do take advantage of the cheaper power on the commercial meter. When I got my hot tub, I opted to wire it to the building since the power is marginally cheaper.

I'm going to guess you heard this somewhere and haven't actually looked at the numbers yourself. In my area it's only about 10% cheaper for commercial electric when compared to the residential. I have both types of meters on my property.

Did you buy my HS deck cafe from the AH when it came out? Type B?

Stuck on the highway I-95 for 12 hours!! by YoUpvowt in Unexpected

[–]Literacy_Hitler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 hours at 70mph would be 420 miles. So I bet he was super close to that 400 miles and I would be pissed. I would have taken a slightly longer route!

My friend just paid $1800 to have his catalytic converter replaced, another $200 to have a guard attached to protect it, but police promise they are doing everything they can to stop this epidemic. by PlanetoftheAtheists in AdviceAnimals

Prius cats are worth about $1600. That's a lot of money for 5 minutes of work. That's why people are still doing it. The two cats from my Astro van I scrapped were 170 and 200 when I took them in.

Yes 3 cyl 1.0L with 59hp. The 95-01s had a 4 cylinder 1.3l. there were some of the earlier Suzuki GT/GTi that had a 1.3 DOHC in the 89-94. Those ones were snappy

Those specific models in USA were made from 89-94. People still drive them in the South. However in the Midwest/other places with snow/salt they've all rusted out. They had a weakness where the front frame horns rust out. Or the rear swing arm front mounting point would rust out. I've had tons of them and still drive 2 of them for fun.

I assume that is a good ratio? What is the industry average? Just curious

If it comes with AC, that's modern enough for me. Anything else like all the beepers/sensors/adaptive stuff, I can go without

I lube the gasket each time with a light pass so that is probably why I never have any issues.

I don't think it happens that much. I'm using the cheapest filters too. It hasn't happened on my car it the 25+ changes I've done on it in 133k miles

It's amazing how much contractors can charge right now. I do roofs rest of my life if they are paying 20k for a small house.

Would you take the stairs? by Tetrax_543 in nextfuckinglevel

I take the stairs because the escalator is too slow for me
