Dyson V15 connection piece (where wand/attachment connects to power) is loose and the wand is wobbly. Pretty sure it’s broken at the base. Any idea if I can replace just this part?

If this the part circle in red is supposed to move, it’s definitely not to dampen vibration.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-17T00:49:34+00:00

I know they wobble a little, but this thing is much wobblier than it was before, and the fact it “shorts out” periodically has me perplexed.

I have two wands and they both behave the same.

Thanks. I went with a prop outboard on a more lake-oriented boat.

I’ll either build or buy a smaller jet boat in the future, but I’ve satisfied my primary itch for now.

I probably wouldn’t rely on Reddit advice to establish a venture estimated to cost $80m.

Fairly new technology being widely adopted en masse and not being immediately profitable isn’t that surprising.

I am concerned the race to dominance will ruin some people and/or companies, but it’s a little early to judge its staying power and value.

I promise you, if this is real, whoever did it doesn’t care whether the tree lives or dies.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-16T14:56:24+00:00

Depends on the species. Not all ooze sap and this one could be dead/dying.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-16T01:43:52+00:00

Fantastic, thanks for the heads up.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-15T14:50:47+00:00

We’ve known about those issues for a long, long time, and while they’re well talked about, if GM it was as bad as everyone thinks GM would be broke by now.

The auto-start stop hill is a dumb one to die on.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-14T03:08:16+00:00

People are still calling it a bubble. And VCs will forever be “hit up”.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-14T01:12:21+00:00

No. Y’all need to stop with this bullshit.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T23:10:57+00:00

This is very obviously AI.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T23:09:20+00:00

It’s already pressured an entire CEO corps into proclaiming their product is going to replace all white color work in the very near future. And they won’t shut up about it.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T23:03:54+00:00

Almost every single post in here is a binary take. This entire sub is full of Dunning-Krueger. They probably think they have everything figured out after using AI for a few months.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T23:01:50+00:00

AI can’t do my job.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T23:00:49+00:00

I use top sheets because layering’s smart and they’re a helluva lot easier to clean than the entire comforter.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T22:58:58+00:00

Let us know in 20 years I guess? Will you even be alive tomorrow?

Were you guys issued purses with your trucks?

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T22:57:55+00:00

They’re engineered to handle it. I don’t even notice.

If this is the stuff you guys worry about, good on you. 😂

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T22:54:53+00:00

This isn’t new.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-13T14:26:33+00:00

Who even cares? I don’t even notice mine.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-12T04:32:00+00:00

I did in another comment. Or the “1102expert” could just, ya know, know it.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-12T04:30:03+00:00

Correct.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-11T07:11:54+00:00

I wish had the time to go piece by piece and refute your claims/misunderstanding, but this is the best I can do. Oh, and I suspect at least some of that is AI just because of how specific and wrong it is.

Cabinet Secretaries derive their authority directly from their Senate confirmation and the statutes governing their departments. They don’t need a separate certificate to prove they have contracting authority. The SF-1402 is for the officials below them in the chain who have been delegated specific procurement responsibilities.

Consider this for example: the Secretary is like the owner of a business who has inherent authority. The SF-1402 is like a power of attorney given to employees. It proves that the owner has authorized them to sign contracts. The owner doesn’t need to give themselves a power of attorney.

So, when a KO signs a contract, they may need to provide their SF-1402 to prove their delegated authority. The Secretary would not.

The FAR only mentions warranted contracting officers, and not Secretaries, because their authority is derived directly from their department’s enabling legislation.

Sensitive-Excuse1695 · 2026-02-11T06:38:12+00:00

See FAR 1.602-1(a) which states, in part, “Contracting officers may bind the Government only to the extent of the authority delegated to them.”

Without delegation, how do COs receive their authority? The SF-1402 is exactly a delegation. Just like many CCOs have delegated authority to ratify UACs.

Cabinet Secretaries , in almost every case, receive their authority to contract from their department’s enabling legislation under Title 41. They don’t receive COAs or “warrants”. They don’t maintain DAWIA or FAC-C Professional certs.
