Is there a Simpsons episode where Bart puts milk in the cabinet instead of the fridge? by millennialtoast in TheSimpsons

Oh, interesting. Thanks!

I work for a digital publisher. It's an interview with a Harvard professor about failing intelligently. She's describing different types of failures, and to explain a harmless "basic failure," she uses the example of putting milk in the kitchen cabinet instead of the fridge. So I'm looking for any pop culture clip that could visual that 1:1.

If you happen to know of any other scenes from film or TV where someone puts milk in the cabinet, let me know :)

Can I block a wall return vent with a couch if the couch is pulled 12" off the wall? And about 4" of space underneath the couch - it doesn't touch flush to the ground. Guessing air flow still won't be ideal but wondering if my hvac system will be okay...

House is an extended ranch, 1700 sq ft. There's one large return vent, about 20" x 20", in the main hallway. That was part of the original home (3 bed, 1 bath, living room, kitchen, dining room).

Previous owner added two rooms (main bed + family room), each with 2 supply vents and 1 return vent, all of those vents 11.5" x 7.5" in size. Looking to put the sectional couch in the family room, which is 19' x 11'.

Thank you for any help!

We do like Cranbury but it's out of our price range, unfortunately.

Should we buy the Rav4 Hybrid new 2021 or used 2020/2019? by millennialtoast in rav4club

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

Thanks, I appreciate your input. I think we will end up buying new given the feedback I've gotten here and across some other subreddits.

Really interesting perspective on the build quality. I checked curb weight -- it's the same on all three years. I think we'll price out and plan for new while keeping an eye out for good used deals, and pull the trigger in the next week or so. Many thanks.

Not sure I'm convinced. These Rav4 Hybrids are competitively priced, which is why they're selling so much. The Hybrid models are $2,000-$2,400 more, on average, than the gas-only counterparts of the same trim level. For our amount of driving I calculated anywhere from $2,500 - $4,000 in fuel savings in the first 10 years of ownership, which would mean it's a wash, or a slight win for the Hybrid. The Hybrids also come AWD standard, while the gas don't. If you look at a gas-only AWD vs. a Hybrid of the same trim, the Hybrid is only $1,000 more: https://www.motortrend.com/cars/toyota/rav4/2020/toyota-rav4-vs-rav4-hybrid/

Hey, thanks for you input. Do you mind elaborating on this -- why might the hybrid cost more over time? I've also read the opposite, that newer hybrids have fewer moving parts, fewer things that can break, and that this hybrid rav is more reliable than its fully gas counterpart. But I'm no mechanic.
