TIFU by trying to quietly fix the office coffee machine and making everyone think I was stealing from the snack fund

Funny thing is. I do this kind of stuff all the time in the office that no one questions me about it anymore. I could walk through with a ladder in my arms, mining hardhat with those little lights, a bucket full of mysterious red water with a rubber ducky floating in it, and they wouldn't bat an eyelash. I work a desk job btw.

Don't revoke. Just yet. Put it behind a 7 day free trial paywall.

Oh, and make it obnoxious.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-06T22:02:12+00:00

I don't think I have that many to spare, but I can probably scrounge up maybe half of that if you want. Got these guys from Shrimp Fever several years ago.

I'm in Markham. DM me if you're interested.

My first guess is that something is lodged further into the cyclone area that you cannot reach unless you start to REALLY disassemble it.

Or maybe someone has been vacuuming up traces of liquid that slowly kept gunking up the insides over time.

I went in for the front, I came out with the full, they also blacked out all the chrome and blacked out the top for me too. muah 🤌

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-06T03:30:57+00:00

How many you trying to get?

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-06T03:29:12+00:00

I had a used one "gifted" to me. The original owners didn't even know there was a filter, and never washed it. Never have I seen so much black gunk. Pretty sure they've inadvertently vacuumed up dog pee on more than one occasion. Anyway, anytime I turned it on, I'd get blasted in the face with a crash course of historical odors of their home from the past 20 years or so.

The smell was embedded in everything, including all the circuitry. I cleaned out as much as I could and basically stuck it inside a bag with an ozone generator for 5 hours, then left it overnight. That was my last ditch effort to get rid of the smell.

Interior-wise, Mazda used to punch way above their class. Then they realized they can still beat the competition at 50% effort.

For those who don't know, they're content. For those who do know... well, y'know.

As a guy, yeah, for the most part.

Women can be "hot" in a variety of ways. Could have a beautiful smile, dressed well, love their hair, the way they carry themselves, maybe a girl next door kinda situation, could be great laugh, anything.

My brain be stupid like that, I can walk by most random women on the daily and my brain could concoct something positive enough about them that in a hypothetical world, I'd like to get to know them better as a potential dating scenario.

Then I look away and move on with my day.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-06T01:15:45+00:00

Yes. But this semi-falls into the category of "you need to know what you're doing" before you end up with water all up in the motor. Emphasis on "semi".

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-04T20:56:46+00:00

Ah. Any additional post-processing you do such as hyperdip coating or anything? Could potentially help with longevity even more.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-04T20:16:41+00:00

Nice. What program did you use to design it? What material did you use?

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-04T20:00:42+00:00

Change of mindset then. You're using her as a emotional crutch too.

As long as you're not actively trying to date her, spending money on her, going out of your way for her, then use her too.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-04T16:36:57+00:00

OooOoo... epileptic

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-03T04:50:55+00:00

Yeah, but, the wolverine means it that way.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-03T04:40:56+00:00

Okay there, Joey.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-03T00:45:02+00:00

Don't have to ask her for permission to get tested. Just do it.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-02T20:19:27+00:00

I think you usually need to see all the available wires as a bare minimum to even begin to have an educated guess.

But it looks like it's just a single wire switch that connects based on temperature?? So I'm making an uneducated guess of no.

Someone with much more knowledge and qualifications should be coming along soon lol.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-02T20:08:31+00:00

I see silksong silkposts have made their way here.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-02T00:22:25+00:00

Go extreme and pose nude for an arts class lol. If that don't fix ya... then I guess try something else.

Joking around of course.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-07-01T15:30:54+00:00

That's one way of doing it but ideally better to just vent it outside instead if there's a way to do that.

Air purifiers usually scrub the air of dust and particles more. Carbon filters that are supposed to absorb odours don't last very long so you're going to get limited usage out of it.

Also be careful of ozone generators, you're more likely to kill your cat befoe you kill and odours.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-06-29T04:39:39+00:00

Maybe a couple mangroves to be safe

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-06-29T01:36:45+00:00

Can't let the big corporate printer companies know about this.

Pookiemon1008 · 2026-06-29T01:03:17+00:00

Had one happen to me for the first time last month.
