It is irrelevant. However, the next guy can walk in and do the opposite and the victims will have no recourse.

I’m pretty sure he has already violated it after the verdict was read. How funny would it be that he gets jail time for contempt at his sentencing hearing?

Tell that to the CDC and who when giving COVID guidance during the pandemic. 😡

Supposedly the current generation of LG fridges are good. The appliance repair folks have said repair rates on those are very low. Remains to be seen if that holds long term.

I rolled the dice. Between the lawsuits they lost over the previous generation and warranty substantially longer than others on the market, along with nabbing one on sale for stupid cheap, I figured it was worth the shot.

So far so good anyway.

Same experience with Samsung here. We also had a fridge, which had a few problems under warranty but once those were fixed it made it 14 years before some plastic piece cracked and started leaking in the interior. That seems to be more the exception than the rule for them though.

My lg washer dryer perform well but had problems after 6 years. But we go through a fuckton of laundry (probably 60 loads/month).

Dryer drum cracked and it also needed new rollers. Washer needed new shocks and suspension, springs needed lubrication.

Wasn’t too hard to diy repair; even though it wasn’t difficult I had to almost completely disassemble the dryer, so be warned. If you ever replace the washer shocks make sure you cover the access panel with a towel and/or wear protective gloves (my hand slipped and I sliced it bad enough to need 3 stitches).

All you have to do is lie about producing toxic chemicals for as long as possible. Checkmate epa!

It did for me the first time I saw it (ages ago).

I’m convinced those statements are wrong in some way. Either not comparing houses of similar size or unoccupied units are skewing the numbers. Or they just tell everyone they’re doing horrible to try and sell energy efficiency stuff.

When I compare using figures from my thermostat via beestat.io my house is in the top 40% (uses less energy than 60% of similar homes in my area).

RTFA, it is right there ffs

Nobody is arguing that valve shouldn’t be compensated for the value they provide. Many of us do, however, argue they are taking too much. Their revenue per employee being so much higher than anyone else in the market supports that argument.

Collective punishment is a war crime.

Avocado toast or peanut butter toast. I guess technically there is some sort of cooking involved there but it is minimal…

In a normal functioning political party he wouldn’t. But the Republican party is more like the cult of Trump right now than a political party, so… 🙁

That guy is essential the head of the Republican party, which controls half of Congress and holds a majority of seats on the Supreme Court. When he says jump all of the other Republicans ask how high, while they all try to figure out ways to 1up each other to please him.

So when he speaks, he indicates what he wants to happen which telegraphs actions of all of his sicophants. So if he says “torpedo the border bill” it gets canned. If he says IDGAF about NATO, you can be sure China and Russia see an opening they can exploit.

They also won’t be able to tell you if Microsoft has plans to deport you to Mars.

Jokes on you – I’m still using the last TV I bought in 2005. It has 2 HDMI ports and supports 1080i!

Not to mention changes in wiring, plumbing, materials, insulation, engineering, finishes, appliances, etc.

Saw one the other day with Jennifer Anniston. Good enough that it took a second to realize it was deep fake audio and video.

Recently thawed and ate a whole chicken that had been in the freezer for 18+ months in original packaging. No issues with taste/texture.

I bought my first house in 2010, during the last dip in the housing market. Sold every asset I could for the down payment and end up with a mortgage payment I could afford. The value of the home has since increased 3x from when I bought it; I couldn’t afford to buy the place today, let alone move someplace else. My major source of frustration has been property taxes, which now cost 1.5x more than my mortgage payment. I’m not entirely certain I’ll be able to STAY in this place if they keep going up 20%/year like they have been.
