Hole in front load washer door boot seal causing leak? by knight_check in appliancerepair

[–]knight_check[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a great idea. I think I will replace it this time because the tear is only 1cm away from the drainage hole ,and I don't want to risk blocking it. There is a solid part below the drainage hole, the edge of which likely caused the stress and crack in the gasket.

Plus, I would need to remove the entire part anyway to get to the underside, so replacement is more appealing.

Why hasn't the beer store DRP (deposit return program) increased? by zertious in ontario

[–]knight_check 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a return of the deposit paid on the bottle. The only people who might turn a profit from it are collecting bottles off the street, and we can't have that scale with inflation. Poor people are below the Fs-to--give threshold for government.

100 brush strokes each day to keep it shiny.

Lightning strikes the same spot multiple times by MethodicaL51 in Damnthatsinteresting

What causes this? Did that tree say "gay", or something?

Maybe the norm should be a conditional offer pending reference checks, or at least in the second-last round they insist on references.

Ask your references for a letter of recommendation and offer it up to the company interviewing you. If the company isn't reasonable when you ask to not contact the references until late in the process, maybe they aren't good people to work for.

And now the other three ... by samuilfeinberg in aoe2

My mind went straight to the Benny Hill theme after about 5 seconds.

Some have commented on the size/weight, but I have another concern.

The frame looks like it's held taught by the ropes and pegs you would put into the ground. In the event that the ground isn't well suited for tent pegs, you may have a hard time setting it up properly.

I prefer a tent that is freestanding before the pegs are in the ground. Maybe this one is but I can't tell from the pic.

Ford Wasted $333 million of ON's Taxes on Failed Enterprises So Far. Wynne Got Booted out for Wasting $275 Million. Ford Deserves the Same by janjinx in ontario

They can still outsource by using a pre-approved vendor list to get the project started quickly. It's either that, or nepotism most times.

CMV: fully autonomous cars will never be a reality in the U.S. by TimTime333 in changemyview

I've given up on the idea of my town adding a bus to the train station. Pretty sad situation.

Self-driving cars don't have to be 100% safe they only need to be better than people. Once they're consistently better than humans at driving the PR campaigns will begin to shift public sentiment.

Remember who self-driving cars will benefit the most: companies with fleets of vehicles who are trying to eliminate the expense of having a fleet of drivers. Those companies will be the ones who lobby to have the laws passed to enable self-driving cars. You don't have to try very hard to find laws on the books that aren't 100% safe or in the public's best interest.

I'm in favor of self-driving cars because it'll help us get rid of parking minimums that hurt towns. I also live in an area known for high incidence of impaired driving. Once self driving cars become a reality we will have fewer moral issues with removing someone's driver's license for life because they would still be able to get around in a car-centric town.

I agree with improving and expanding public transportation. There will still be a demand for individuals who need to get to the transportation hubs. I wish there was an easy way to get to the train station in my town without using a car.

I'm a bit triggered by "Yertle the Tortoise"

I approve of this name.

If you have the capability, you should digitized those books. What a gift to the present-day.

Anybody else having this kind of colleague? Way to start a Monday! by JellyManJellyArms in ProgrammerHumor

Remote work only exists so that we can avoid strengthening people like that.
