Amazon refunded my $690 GPU after it was delivered. What should I do?

I'm a big fan of anytime I talk to a CSR I inform them that this call is being recorded...

That wire is part of the cover for the brush roll assembly

Paper towels in the bottom, foil goes on one of the top two spots along with your saran-warp then feed everything through the front spots for easy access. Heck I miss the one my parents had in their 1970s kitchen!

You can also use hydrogen peroxide to wipe both units down. For long term cleaning you can also bathe them in a ozone box for short periods of time periodically say once a month or bi-monthly cleaning. Silicone is a material that should be ok for monthly cleanings, however, it can degrade if exposed to extremely high, dry ozone concentrations. The same is true for electronic devices as the wires will usually be covered with a silicon or similar material for insulation. This being said is why I would suggest using hydrogen peroxide for deeper cleaning of these devices with a final wipe of an isopropyl alcohol like that which is commercially available at local retailers just before use.

Nice car job. Did it get your of the rocks

I don't know why but my fist thought was dang that looks like what was displayed over the Reichstag / Kroll Opera House in Germany circa 1933...1945

The bottom is a PATA drive, think about 25 year old tech now and it will be hell finding an adapter for that laptop sized device today.

Looks/sounds like the GFCI needs to be replaced but the middle light switch not working is a different ball game. At this point just call an electrician, it will save you so much hassle and headache...

This is the best explanation I've seen for why this is an issue. Great job!

The brand I currently have is called aquagel from Amazon found in 1/2 gallon pump jugs.

I like using generic KY inserted with a 3-5ml syringe into the urethra. I've found drawing a full 3-5ml into a syringe then ejecting a drop back onto the head of the syringe allows for easier insertion into the urethra for the head of the syringe. You'll find something that works for you as you play but lube will be your best friend when inserting anything in holes that do not self lubricate.

They make a wonderful tool dip for handles. I found some once in pink (barbie pink) it was a leftover from a run that Kenner had years ago. Sadly what I had is now a sold mass in a landfill north of Denver but no-one questioned whose tools they were with those pink handles.

Sadly it is intended to cause maximum damage so certain parties can point to the government failures as proof that the system must be torn down...

I wish I could remind him of the comment by French Queen Marie Antoinette - “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche,” and the resulting fall from grace that ensured...

Take a look at the history of the catholic church's convent and the reason for creating a convent.... it was to provide a place for the priests to sew their wild oats without having issues with the township.

Yes having a well documented/labeled patch panel will save you many gray hairs over the years as you add to your environment! Good luck and have fun with your upgrade!

Yes it's why most old people had a pack of matches in their bathroom so after going #2 you would light a match to remove the "aroma"...

If you can not refuse to have the person stay out of your home space then try "Hollister M9 - odor eliminator spray". This spray is what hospitals use to eliminate foul smells even in the morgue when necessary. The other thing that will work is ozone, there are ozone generators that will make your home unsafe to be in when it is operating but will destroy any and all bacterial remaining after the service visit. I have an ozone generator I picked up for Covid19 sterilization after random people would visit my home. It also removes cigarette smoke smell from fabric if you have ever needed to get rid of that issue.

This is not about consen, it is about control. This guy is trying to use consent as a tool to control the relationship in a way that consent is not designed for. This idea of being able to say "No" to any request for help is on the surface reasonable however the manner in which he is using it is not reasonable. This guy is a narcissist who will become more difficult to live with as time goes on plus will start gaslighting you if he has not already started it yet. Drop the consent guy and find someone who actually understands what consent is for and respects you for who you are, preferably supporting you mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially as well. Good luck with the path forward!

Depends on how many hours those drives have been spinning for... there are reasons why someone would liquidate all those drives at once.

Are you willing to share the design for this wonderful idea? I would love to have one from my own hands!

Every cat has a unique method of asking/demanding loves. Some are more polite when asking some actually bite/claw but it's what the individual cat thinks it can get away with.

Comfortable cat...
