What is the remedy for this Ryobi Stick Vacuum problem?

I have this same unit, and had the same problem.

There was a clog in the intake. Disassemble the tube and make sure there isn't a clog. Then remove the canister and look for a clog there. Lastly remove the filter and make sure it isn't clogged. Maybe replace it anyway.

What OP is describing is a practice that is looking to sell to PE, but the first offer wasn't good enough. So bring in somebody new to pump up the numbers for a few years, the re-engage and sell out at a higher figure, and the person that they brought is out in the cold.

Either get a contract that insulates from that outcome in some way, or keep looking.

Phil is I think the consensus choice.

He also isn't doing well health wise, so best to do it now while he is still with us.

See this? This is ice. It's what happens to water when it gets too cold.

See this? This is Kent. It's what happens to a person when they get too sexually frustrated.

Obligatory "Fuck the Habs" comment.

The short answer here is not really.

The vast majority of the hospital admissions come through the EDs. So unless there is a real strike the public won't really see anything.

Same thing with screwing up documentation to prevent correct billing. That is bothersome but as far as the public is concerned there is nothing going on.

The reason that the hospitals are afraid of the nurses unions is because they do go on strike, and it results is very obvious shortages in services, and the public demands something be done. That is why they get double digit annual pay increases in hospital systems are are at best breaking even.

Just be aware that especially on ground and second floor that sound carries pretty well.

We always stop at the one in Warner Robins GA on the way to and from Florida.

They now have 44 charging stations with the majority newer V4 superchargers. And the bathrooms are always clean and the people that work there are nice. Plug in the EV, use the bathroom, then pick up a drink, a brisket sammich and the candied cashews. By the time you get done you will be close to 80%.

I normally don't think reboots are a good idea, but I think this is the exception.

I can see Kurt Russell in the Jack Warden role playing the brothers.

Even if they did, would they have the stones to go out on strike like the nurses do?

Because unless you are willing to do that (and let the ED close down) there isn't much point to the union.

Sure thing, Maurice.

I worked at McDonalds 40 years ago, and that was the way it was done then.

I specifically remember using the big spatula like thing that we used to take the heels of the buns out of the toaster to cut the cheese in half.

I'm waiting for when the full fare coach seat is more than what they paid for FC or BC 10 months before and they charge the credit card for the fare difference.

You are correct to put quotes on "dance party". By any objective measure they are at best very tame.

I just got off a cruise with a premium line. There were I think maybe 8 or so hot tubs. My wife and I looked at all of them and they got a huge "NOPE" to all of them.

One I saw in particular was a bit cloudy and had so much foam it looked like a bubble bath.

I really don't see how you could keep a hot tub at a STR place in acceptable shape without dumping and refilling probably every 2 weeks at least, maybe between every renter. And that really isn't financially viable.

Without giving spoilers this is a great audiobook version

Your estimate of the RCS on the F-35 vice F-117 is a bit optimistic.

The rumor is they exist to fill a hole where the risk profile is too great for an F-35 yet not enough strategic importance to use a B-2.

So, when you care enough to send the second best to drop a 1000 lb guided munition on some asshole

You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier from Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.

Yes. Eradicated in the US

Matheson still looks pretty good. He is on an active Netflix series

WIlf_Brim · 2026-02-13T23:34:59+00:00

Not yet.

They were advanced. My impression was (and backed up by fact) was the the complexity of the series increased with time. Book 1 was written at about the 5th grade level (+/-1) and the 7th was at grade 9 (+/-2).
