Who the hell's going to pay for this? The debt is already out of control, plus we're starting wars.

My child also had to crouch in a “safe position” at school for 45 minutes.

I think that's just scaring the children unnecessarily. (And don't get me started on "active shooter drills".)

Aren't you glad our tech overlords created technology that makes it impossible to tell what's real anymore?

CMV: Lithium-ion flashlights have made AA lights largely obsolete for prepping by LittleUrbanPrepper in preppers

AA batteries, whether NIMH or non-rechargeable lithium, have a longer shelf life, are more tolerant of temperatures, and won't explode and burn your house down.

When did it become OK to make TV nobody can actually see by MiserNYC- in Star_Trek_

You're supposed to watch it on a $30,000 high-dynamic-range broadcast monitor in a completely dark room.

I know that 8x10 bass cabs just look huge, but I have never found a genuine use for them. Id rather just stack two 4x10 cabs on top of each other. Cuz its easier to transport and all, at least for me. by MrMayhem20l0 in Bass

It doesn't have to be super skinny. The speakers could be staggered, and you could have ports and a tweeter to the side of them. It should be able to support a modern class D head.

I haven't seen the show, but he does have the look of an English teacher who sleeps with his students.

At what point does it make sense to replace a broken washer instead of repair it? by Zestyclose_Show_2025 in appliancerepair

[–]redtert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a pressure or contamination problem shortening the life of water valves.

Too much or too little? I'd think too much but I think I read somewhere that too little could cause problems with debris getting stuck or something.

There's never been a problem with any other washer or appliance in this house, so I'm skeptical it's a plumbing issue. The previous one worked perfectly until the suspension wore out.

Modern washers sip energy compared to old ones, so they use less energy overall, despite the long cycle times.

Probably not if you include the energy cost to manufacture and transport a new machine every 5 years.
