I had been though it all, having joined about a year after the site first launched. I have witnessed multiple evolutions of the broader community and management. I could no longer support what I knew was coming next, so I bailed after 17 years due to the API fiasco.

Now I visit only by chance on searches and RSS subscriptions to a couple super niche subreddits that are more likely to disappear than migrate anywhere else.

This. It’s time to replace when your old car takes more $ to repair (factoring in your own time lost, too) than the loan payments on a newer car.

$2500 is on the very low end. Expect and budget double that.

The induction fan induces air to move out the exhaust before the combustion starts, so exhaust gas is ensured to exit the right direction.

If the furnace thinks the induction motor isn’t running or there isn’t a slight vacuum in the chamber right before the induction fan then it won’t light for safety reasons.

I’m my case it was a loose wire on the pressure sensor. Cost me a couple hours to figure out and a paper clip to fix. Been fine for 3 years since now.

I’m thinking the same. Water billing in the States is often by CCF/HCF.

I’m between 3 and 8 depending on time of year.

With outdoor use the OP’s 13 CCF sounds right, but 25 is way high and may indicate a leak somewhere.

Mull and Vivaldi.

40 hours for me. Work related waste of my life in hindsight. Could have been only 39, but I powered through the last hour to hit the round number.

I can take it or leave it. I rarely turn it on, and only if its draining slowly. I do not use it purposely for food waste, and honestly don’t know why anyone would.

I’ve had to clean out some nasty clogged pipes before that handled sink waste. Maybe if everyone saw what kind of lovely buildup accumulates nobody would use these things.

Edit: nothing like “someone is wrong on the Internet” brings all the boys to the yard. I’ll stand by my statement because I’m the one who personally snaked over 5 gallons of congealed sludge from the waste pipe in my tiny crawlspace. I didn’t live there long enough and use the disposal enough to explain it, and it wouldn’t have happened if there was no disposal to add that much solid matter over the years. So I personally don’t care if I have one or not since I do the maintenance for free, but I’ll continue to question why they’re even a thing.

Made a 5" aluminum baseball bat in high school shop class learning how to use a lathe. It’s been on my keys ever since. Thing is probably older than most folks reading this.

3? I generally don’t care, but some people are insufferable. They spew nonsense meant only to get a rise out of others and have a chip on their shoulder. Interacting with their existence is a waste of mine, so bye bye.

Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven’t found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.

Mull, syncthing, k9, aegis, binaryeye, RoMote, Breezy Weather, newpipe, auto-auto-rotate, rethink, radiodroid, linksheet, missed notification reminder.

For the most part memes are self contained to their own communities. It takes a few days but you can achieve a relatively meme free experience if you block each community.

Copious amounts of gums and max overruns (adding air) together result in softer texture when frozen, which the average consumer likes, and higher yields, which the producer likes.

Essentially you’re buying 40% air with most brands, and the other 60% is not entirely cream & sugar & flavors. Try gelato or a local producer.

I’m not in part of the world where telegram is more commonplace but from an outside prospective I’ve always kind of held the opinion it’s more for fringe groups and users who have reasons to hide their conversations. Thinking back that may be largely due to the lack of moderation and it being mentioned in the same sentence as some illegal activities. I can’t say whether any of this is true but my uninformed opinion is built upon its association with other unsavory parts of the internet, real or not.

Sounds like they have a nazi bar problem, and their actions welcome it. No thanks.

Our car has an awful sound system. I swear there are frequencies simply missing, and that transforms music in ways that are impossible to miss.

Or one would think, but my spouse doesn’t care at all. I offered to go through the trouble of upgrading the entire thing – receiver, dsp, amp, speakers, adding a sub – but they said no, why bother? Almost makes me weep when some of my favorites play on the radio.

Not op. Yes.
