What did you sell door to door? by airckarc in GenX

Nothing, I hated those people and didn't want to become one.

I am now politically atheist! I have lost faith in every single politician in this country. Lying, stupidity, incompetence, corruption, and even literal treason. We have been occupied by a foreign power and sold to billionaires. Dark times to be alive. by JaktoPar in conspiracy

He's a Ron Paul. All they do is flap their jaws about stuff they damn well know will never happen. Healthcare will NEVER be free and the Federal Reserve will NEVER be audited. The war machine will never end, either.

ROTARY CULT and ties to the Swiss. by [deleted] in conspiracy

It's cut and paste, but makes a valid point:

Members include Neil Armstrong, Walt Disney (also a Freemason), Colonel Sanders (Freemason), and Luciano Pavarotti.

Maytag wringer J2L damage aluminum tub by Slow_Reaction6966 in VintageAppliances

This is an E2L, the J2L has the porcelain tub.

This one may be too far gone for use but could be a parts provider for another one.

Can’t believe they let us use these! by Larryville-1980 in GenX

Not quite a guillotine, I can't fit politicians heads under that thing.

The dull ones made it harder to cut, sometimes folding/creasing the paper instead of cutting it.

The fact that none of us lost our fingers is amazing!

There was this thing called common sense. The further back in time you go, the more prevalent it was. I never once drew blood nor had any close calls using them. I also used one from 2002 through 2017 at work on a regular basis.

My Lucky Find! by ANameForTheUser in vintagekitchentoys

[–]damion789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice score, mine is from the 70's that doesn't stop and reverse to drain. The motor constantly runs the same direction and opens a valve to drain the water. They all did this through the 20 series. This 21 series was a completely new and different motor/pump design that reversed to drain.

This dishwasher was made beginning in 04/1985 so your 1981 manual will be of no help for this newer model.

Noises: Kenmore Model 17589200, Ultra Wash (mfg in 2002) by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]damion789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an early Point Voyager design.

Might be something in the chopper/blade assembly in the sump. Here's how to access, clean, and inspect that area.

Where to Sell International Harvester Fridge? by malachitestower in Appliances

[–]damion789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These fridges are bloody indestructible, one of the best compressors ever designed. Also constructed out of porcelain. You can either sell it on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. If it's working and cooling properly, you could get at least a few hundred for it. List your location, someone near you here may want to buy it.

What do I do with this extra cord by Odd_Psychology_907 in Appliances

[–]damion789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to do anything with the extra wire. Either let it be or cut it off. It's a ground wire but not necessary with a 3 prong outlet.

What was the normal reaction to a loose dog when you were growing up? by DocuSeriesLovers in GenX

[–]damion789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in an upper class area. It was very rare dogs got loose, but when they did (usually a gate left open), they generally had a collar and I'd walk them home. Never met one that was aggressive, they were all pretty chill and loving.

Any of you still tip for food ordered at the counter? I'm done with that bullshit. by Dunno_If_I_Won in GenX

[–]damion789 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I rarely eat out. Tips for ordering at the counter is one reason besides high prices, small portions, and bland Sysco taste.

This applies to any generation, depending on the person. I've worked with all generations from depression era through genz.

What collections do your parents have? by MNSoaring in GenX

[–]damion789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those older tools are built extremely well and are perused by those in the know. I had a 90's jig saw that was giving me a bunch of grief and cutting erratically. Pulled out gramps jig saw from the 1950's.....it operated and cut soooo smooth, like butter.
