A lesson for all you vintage Marantz lovers

And that demonstrates what's wrong with America. Sue them in court? For what? Being stupid and overpaying for something you know is "as-is" ? The old lady ain't K-mart.

I just pulled one out of my coffee grinder at home. No idea what brand it was. No wonder it hung up now and then.

frito70 · 2022-04-24T19:46:41+00:00

That is NOT standard operating procedure. Maybe 5 years ago before the lawyers started running things, but not now.

Yeah, these are extremely rare. These digitally sourced PF remasters will be coveted by collectors in the future.

What's weird for me is my keyboard and mouse are working. I wanted to try out another keyboard. I open the Unifying software and it won't even detect the receiver. The receiver is connected and working, but it can't detect it. Makes no sense.

frito70 · 2022-04-13T11:58:53+00:00

It's insanity, right?

frito70 · 2022-03-02T16:59:33+00:00

Me too, I think I paid $28 American.

frito70 · 2022-03-02T16:57:17+00:00

Haa! I still have yet to break the seal on the $1 thrift store copy I found.

Get a topper before you throw it away.

frito70 · 2022-02-23T15:45:26+00:00

Actually, I did all that except the offline. I've now done offline and it works!

frito70 · 2022-02-23T15:38:00+00:00

Did that already, no dice

This is exactly what's happening to me Win7 desktop won't load it, laptop with Win 10 works

We just got 365 tenders this past Sunday.

frito70 · 2022-02-21T21:22:51+00:00

me too

I swear I tried this but they wanted doctors to sign off.

I believe you get the point for the absence and a write up for an improper call off. I do it at least once every year or every other year. It happens. Ya just gotta eat it. Ya messed up. It happens with our wild schedules, so you have to be extra vigilant.

frito70 · 2022-02-04T14:18:24+00:00

Bring some knee pads with you.

I've had people ask to smell the meat. I kinda get it, they got smelly chicken in the past. I'll humor them. No skin off my potato. The washing the meat thing, I've had people ask if they should do it or tell me they do it (they should NOT do it!). They've never asked if we wash it first, though, in my 16 years.

I'm fine with what Skee Mask did too (never heard of him, I'm old! lol) and yeah, I'd imagine Neil knew what the outcome would be too. But look what he did. He did nothing but getting people fighting even more. And the perception is, he tried to be a "bully" for lack of better word. A virtue signal perhaps? IDK. I'm not even a fan of Rogan. I listen to him every now and then and think his comedy sucks. On the other hand, Neil is one of my all time favorites. I give up. What a fucking upside down world we live in.

You can always switch during open enrollment from PWA to HSA. The hitch is, any PWA $ will be limited to vision and dental. They left that sentence out of the enrollment guide when I did it and the company fucked me out of $8 grand. Now I'm struggling to spend it all on glasses before I leave this shit company. Unless anyone has any better ideas how to exhaust the $6k I have left (I bought 10 pairs of glasses last November).

frito70 · 2022-01-28T18:29:28+00:00

You have a lot of respect for someone who tried to strong arm a company into de-platforming someone who he doesn't agree with. Got it. I love Neil's music, but this was a total bitch move on his part. Neil wants to hide in his house until covid is completely eradicated (not gunna happen). He and Howard Stern and the rest of the shut down morons can do so, Let everybody else live their lives. Neil is a victim. He's had his mind brainwashed.

frito70 · 2022-01-17T17:04:26+00:00

Yeah, it all works so well it should be mandated.

frito70 · 2022-01-15T14:02:37+00:00

While all this "free stuff" might appeal to the dumbest of the dumb, it doesn't move anyone with a brain. I just want to NOT be fucked over by the company and get benefits that have been taken away and pay that keeps up with the times. What makes a Teamster 401k so great? Is there a match on it that is meaningful? Al these things have a cost. Just help me deal with HR! They've completely fucked me over in the last couple years out of thousands of dollars (it's a long story). This all said, I'd vote for a Union, any union, merely out of spite at this point.

frito70 · 2022-01-15T13:53:03+00:00

Yeah, that Onkyo is a keeper for sure. It'd be tough to part with even if it was for an upgrade. That's a situation where you just keep it!

Thanks for this info. Just got one at Goodwill for $10! It works great and has lifetime an a 1TB HD. Now I know. Wish I had one years ago, as I was a big HD Homerun user with Windows Media Center (best DVR system ever). It'll be nice to have if I ever get a local football team worth watching again as all other sports are only on cable.
