stump posted:I've heard only good things about Westworld, will have to watch it soon. Watched asap else face a real risk of spoilers from all kinds of media. Even the headlines can give away plot points, selfish assholes. "Wow! Amazing scene on S6 of The Walking Death, we discuss what N*** does in that scene" <thinks> I'm still on S2. Great, now when we come across N***, I am going to know that he survives to at least S6. So much for any cliffhanger where he might die in S5 or earlier.

InitialDave posted:Spog, my Phantom did indeed turn up, appears to be genuine, new, and in a sealed box. Came with a separate UK plugged figure 8 lead, so I assume it originated from foreign or ex-works sources, but as far as I'm aware they're all the same regardless of country. Cools, thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I had a sudden fear that this might be a flash-in-the-pan hobby for me, so I bought one of these cheapie Symas to see if I play with it for more than a week. At least I know that the P3S is going to always be suitable, if I decide to buy at a later date. Looking forward to seeing your footage. The 'follow me' feature seems potentially a lot of fun for drivers.

slidebite posted:Yeah, there is real value to using a reputable company and it's worth extra for some piece of mind. That said, 2x sounds fishy though if they are literally the exact same thing. Is the other company quoting the exact same brand/model of furnace? Any accessories? Oh yeah, this too. Reputable companies don't charge 2x the market price. they quote the market price (plus maybe a little bit more) poo poo companies quote half the market price and then either find lots of extra charges to stick on you, or install the whole thing with string and glue.

scuz posted:I should also point out that the install comes with a bumper-to-bumper 7 year warranty so anything that goes wrong or whatever is covered. The lowest price I could find wasn't a direct quote from a company, but it was the same brand and the price to buy the furnace and get it installed was about 2/3s of what I paid. Hang on: your lowest quote was 2/3rds of what you actually paid? i.e. you only paid 50% more than the cheapest price you could find, not double. And it wasn't even a real quote? I'll bet that if you got a real like-for-like quote, you have paid less than 20% more than any other quote from a real company and I'll bet they wouldn't have the same reputation for quality work or a 7 year warranty that they stand behind. I don't think you hosed up here.

Cage posted:Probably. I noticed it as soon as I got home so I went up to him while my dad was taking the garbage out and told him if he gave me the money back right then that I wouldn't tell our father. He said he didn't have it anymore.While we were gone for an hour or so he went in my room, stole the money, and then had one of his buddies deliver some heroin to him. After talking it over with my sister she said and I agreed that keeping it a secret wouldn't help anything, so I told my dad. He got mad, but my mom flipped out on him when she got home from work. Told him to get out multiple times, but after arguing for a while I guess she calmed down a bit because hes still here. I hid in my bedroom when she started yelling because I am not good with that stuff. Feel hurt and betrayed but also I can't help feeling bad for ratting. Absolutely the right thing to do: at the very least, your parents have a right to know what is going on under their roof, especially if your dipshit bro is having heroin delivered there in 30mins or less.

1500quidporsche posted:Just researching it I get the feeling that the main issues alot of these guys have is that they've never owned a 2 stroke vehicle before and was stuff I went through with my kart that now would be trivial to deal with. It does tick alot of my boxes for cars I want, so I'm curious at this point. The main issue is not the mechanical skills of the owners, it is that they are utter shite. Compressed cardboard shite. The owners of Trabants looked up to Lada owners with envy. Think about that. Actually, a Lada is probably a decent winter car, given that is was designed to work in Siberia and if Russian dashcams are accurate, you can just drive around the icy roads without a care in the world as they will bounce off anything they hit.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Our other security guard wandered onto the property late last while I was working drunk as hell, in the lobby babbling incoherently to the front desk worker, and bleeding all over because he apparently fell or got into a fight. I suggested he go home and he got combative, telling me to go ahead and call the cops. But I know better, and have dealt with drunks for way too long, and if he sees me call the cops he's going to go off the deep and and who knows how long I'd have to deal with him before they got there, so I just talked him into getting into my car and drove his dumbass home the whole time enduring his stupid loving insults and trying to get him out of my car once I got him there. Love my job. Should have driven him into the middle of the countryside and dumped him there.

Seminal Flu posted:Mine says "Power Dry." Since it is nowhere on the parts list, and there has to be some mechanism to heat the water, I'm guessing they integrated the heater into something dumb like the pump unit, so it would be a "replace unit if this part fails" situation. I am wasting far too much time on your project - I must be feeling helpful today... I am really dubious that you have a separate heater in your model: if you look at the parts-diagram for the other models, they show the separate element and called it 'heated dry'. It seems unlikely that they'd miss out an entire set of heating components on your diagram, yet include them in other models' diagrams They share the same pump across models, so that can't have a hidden heater in it. I'd be looking at your hot water supply and whether you actually get hot (not warm) water to the machine.

Seminal Flu posted:I appreciate the help. The CDT765 in on the picture I posted and it has a 'heated dry' option that yours does not. My dad's advice for any situation that makes you scratch your head is to stop and have a slow, logical think about the problem and possible solutions: 1) You have a super-secret heater that doesn't appear on the parts diagram, nor does it appear to be a replacement part that you can buy on the internet, despite this being one of the most popular dishwashers out there Unlikely 2) The water supply is too cold You've tested this and it is warm enough (and presumably, doesn't need to be run to get hot) 3) The pump isn't pushing the hot water around the dishwasher Unlikely, else you'd be complaining about dirty dishes 4) You've accidentally changed a washing drying/feature so it doesn't use the hot water properly hmm 5) The logic system is screwed and it's not running a correct cycle New logic board Have you double checked 4 - it's not really something stupid like you've changed a setting you don't normally alter and haven't noticed, have you?

Black Friday is still a novelty for us Brits and we don't quite understand how to do it. I don't need anything, but let's check out a few sites and see what is on offer. Maybe there is a headline bargain that I could snag (perhaps buy yet another entire socket set, just for the purpose of getting a single socket) Amazon has 230 pages of Black Friday bargains. Let's see what they decide should be on the very first page to draw people in with excitement and desire:

Every single time I have a lovely half an hour shopping it's in an Asda store. Someone should do a study on it, it's loving bizarre. I agree it's odd. You expect Aldi and Lidl to be where the worst of humanity shops; purely because they offer very low-priced alcohol, yet mostly the shoppers are well-behaved.
