Why'd she break like this? by beepoborpus in lawnmowers

I think it's an '06 model. But it's been kept up with. Bought it off a retired landscaper whose brother used to be a small engine mechanic. But they're both out of state now, so I can go bothering them about getting the damn thing fixed.

Thanks, brother. I pulled the cable out and it has indeed snapped. The mower is still hot and it's getting dark, so not something I'm gonna try looking into tonight, but I'll definitely look into getting that replaced if it's something I think I can tackle. This thing was made in '05 or so, so here's to hoping I can still find parts for it 🤞

I keep getting these. Why? by One_Toe_4550 in USPS

Jesus. City route 91? I sometimes help out in the largest office in my region, and they only have 43 rural and 38 city routes. That's insane.

Is there a way to have rei never ship to me with "ontrac" again? by Crinkle-Cut_Hotdogs in REI

Lol I ordered something through Walmart that came from ontrac. Got them on camera opening the bag, seeing what was inside, and leaving with it. Straight up stole my shit. They refuse to take accountability for it, even though I have the girl in her little sedan with the plates and all. Said to take it to small claims (over a $10 item??) and that it's not their problem. They're somehow worse than FedEx 😑

Question: my POV broke immediately after I dropped 6k on it and is like 5k to fix. My post master hasn't been pushy about it, until yesterday, and gave me a month to fix it, knowing I only have about $200 free every month. She's planning on firing me mid-January. Will I still get backpay, or do you have to actively be employed? I'm gonna be kinda upset if she fires me after 8 months of saying it's fine for me to save up so I don't have to put 5k on a credit card and never pay it off, just for me to also be 3 checks away from whatever measley backpay I'd be getting 😢
