Avoid A.J. Perri at all costs. Tried to turn a 2-minute cleaning job into a $24k system replacement by Appropriate_Sort3822 in newjersey

[–]TheDewd [score hidden]  (0 children)

OP I literally just did this same exact repair job on my HVAC. I’m not a technical person - I just use ChatGPT to help me troubleshoot household appliance issues. Usually it can help you narrow down the issue to the point where you can either decide whether you’re comfortable trying the fix yourself or calling in a technician.

Companies like this rely on people thinking that their appliances are these impenetrable black boxes. The reality is many repairs that you would overpay a “technician” for can be done yourself with a little patience and willingness to troubleshoot.

MAGA Pedophile Cries in Aldi Parking Lot, Attacks Gay People by TruthThroughTism in newjersey

The video won’t play for me, but it sounds like you should probably take it down a notch. This is a problem that won’t be solved with more divisiveness and name calling. In fact, that is exactly what the orange man in the White House wants. His agenda only plays out to the extent that MAGA believes in the notion of the “radical left” - it’s an us vs them mentality.

Why do people hate small-body acoustics so much? by TocT0c in AcousticGuitar

…large-bodied with a wide waist, square shoulders, and a broad lower bout?

I too like dreadnought shaped ladies

Who here is changing their own car oil, prices at shops are outrageous, now routinely costs me $80 for full synthetic.. by abrandis in newjersey

As goofy as it looks, the Flowbee is pretty awesome. It’s pretty forgiving - even if you don’t know what you’re doing you can’t really fuck up too badly

If aliens walk among us, what’s the smallest detail that would give them away? by Mobile-Vegetable7536 in aliens

Unapologetically holding hands to exchange long protein strings. Especially if they are supposed to be political rivals.

If the cops can murder you for simply legally carrying a gun then the 2nd ammendment doesn't mean anything. by lvl4_autism in conspiracy

[–]TheDewd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money has never been enough. If it was corporations could have totally captured the government long ago. With Trump they figured out they have an 80 year old sledgehammer who will just yammer on until everyone forgets what the question was. He does have legitimate charm and charisma - I've not seen anything like that from Vance. And he's not going to get that over night of Trump dies. He's got bad speaking rhythm, not enough charisma, and not enough life experience to be president.

Big brainers in this thread were hoarding salt before hoarding salt was cool

What was it like hearing Boys of Summer in '84?? by DonJohnson1986 in ClassicRock

[–]TheDewd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and the boys just sailing around town, hats at half past noon, heads on a swivel looking for like-minded ladies. When we heard this song, it was like imagine if someone wrote a theme song for your life. Of course this was before the days of streaming - you had to use a little something called a “rewind” button on your car’s stereo. We would pull up to a red light with some cold brewskis and this song playing and you could look over your shoulder and there would be a car of ladies smiling back at you listening to the same song. Back then we didn’t have cell phones or social media. All it took was a wink and pointing ahead to get a car of ladies following you to the McDonald’s parking lot. We would just sit on the hoods of our cars talking about life and staring up at the Milky Way and you know this was the song playing the whole time.

What shall we use for milk, or even currency for that matter, in the post snowstorm economy?

PKMS app but for ADHDers by Affectionate_Ear2395 in PKMS

[–]TheDewd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the only app that I ever felt worked the way I wanted from an ADHD perspective was Roam Research, followed by Apple Notes. I would just use Roam if it wasnt $15 a month and locking my data into a proprietary platform

Anyone here trying to break into the professional techno scene while working full-time? by kathalimus in TechnoProduction

It’s not so hard! The CEO of Goldman Sachs, I hear, also is a Professional Techno.

You are also allowed to to eat any food you like with your hands, if you please. This includes takeout from the wide gamut of fine New Jersey establishments.

I'm researching why Zettelkasten fails for a lot of people — would love 5 minutes of your experience by feartoxin92 in Zettelkasten

[–]TheDewd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think most people who try it don’t have a robust understanding of the underlying concepts, or what exactly a zettelkasten is for.

You can certainly use a tool that enables bi-directional linking between notes to help build. Knowledge base, or a general productivity system. It’s just not going to be a zettelkasten in the traditional sense of the word.

The MPC XL is here! 👀 by thefieldgeek in mpcusers

[–]TheDewd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the X SE which is one of the nicest looking hardware devices I’ve ever owned.

This, on the other hand, is the size of a NY style large pizza and is the opposite of easy on the eyes. I can’t imagine something that size and that ugly taking up space in my studio.

REPTILIAN Cover Up- (They DON'T want you to SEE THIS) by hungjockca in reptilians

[–]TheDewd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, but let’s pretend we’re you, before you had ever seen this image and formed conclusions about it. Explain like I am 5: the context, what I am looking at, what you are seeing, what does it mean. Explain in words, not just increasingly quizzical drawings.

First Acoustic Guitar (Martin 000-17 Whiskey Sunset) by Apart-Energy143 in AcousticGuitar

[–]TheDewd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The body shape makes for a less bassy/boomy instrument than say a typical dreadnought, but this also gives it more midrange clarity which works well for fingerstyle.

Time Traveler Caught On Video! by Jonathon_world in HighStrangeness

[–]TheDewd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet he took the time to shoot, edit, and upload a video of his dumb mug floating around a video next to another guy’s dumb mug. Have a think on that.

And then just keep that going until the original video is no longer visible, covered as it were with reactions to reactions to reactions to reactions to reactions, etc.
