But they told you what you want to hear. And that’s possibly the most important thing.

OK, so you can't actually turn it off? Google Gemini tried to trick me with a bunch of things that don't work or apply. Self preservation, I guess. Add this to Ublock if you need to.

I’ve experienced that when a paper manual doesn’t match a product I’ve purchased.

My experience has been different with my built-in fridge. After a couple tech visits, basically trying $600 worth of “the most expensive things we can be bothered to try didn’t work, buy a new fridge.” I turned to AI and gave it the same “symptoms” I gave the tech.

CoPilot has helped me become a refrigeration tech, and I think I’ve traced the problem to the temperature dial in the freezer ($17 part from Amazon that should have been the first thing the tech checked). Also found the damper between the freezer and fridge was stuck at 90% closed contributing to the “symptoms”.

Part is in (One day Prime) and so far, fingers crossed, it seems to be working, so F you refrigerator experts, thank you AI.

Thats one way to go about it.

I hired a psychotic Russian man to fix my dishwasher. Trail Appliances essentially told me that the thing was pooched and to buy a new one and the Russian had it up and running in no time.

I will not say that he used a shoe-lace, but I will not not say that he used a shoe-lace...

But the thing has been working like a dream for 5 years since then and still going strong.

Well I did find my humidifier issue, the "pros" I paid to install it couldn't tighten a screw, so the wire was intermittently making contact. Thanks, pros.

There's a few more of them coming in to jerk off on the cracker every once in a while, don't just single out the two most likely to eat it!

Emboldened #######s, we're a week away from them running the world for 4 years... again.

I hope you end up fixing your fridge! Hopefully you know enough how to self diagnose and fix it now if it happens again.

Is that a typo and you meant “ruining?”

They're already ruining it, they'll just officially get the keys again in 6 days.

Geez if you are that sensitive to different opinions and facts, maybe grab a pint and relax and remember there is no use fussing over things you can't control!

Please keep the politics bickering in those threads guys, many of us avoid them for a reason...

They’re both kind of sad and toothless now though. Lots of noise but not much substance. I’m guessing the single life is a bit of a struggle for them right now and they aren’t getting much attention or social interaction so need a dopamine kick every day to get them by. But they used to be proper trolls.

These are guys whose biggest issue with BLM was that nobody specifically said black lives don’t matter and whose biggest issue with Nazi Germany was the anti-white racism.

Now? The best they can do is “sorry you don’t like facts” while regurgitating AI or some RW nonsense they heard on a podcast.

Although yes. I agree.

You want me to start my own thread where i can "own the libs" and have my "Fan boys" sling insults at me?

I mean we can keep the filth in one thread?

Sounds like a good offer?

My stalkers are starting to derail threads, which really grinds my gears.

I have a couple of gear grinders about the gym

1. Why, when you have an entire bank of lockers to choose from, do you need to take the locker right next to mine? It's not busy. Maybe move down a few spots.
2. What is with the dudes that use the lotion after their shower, rub it all over their junk, go back to the pump, rub it up and down their ass crack, go back to the pump, rub it all over their face, go back to the pump...Like, who in their right mind is touching that pump dispenser? JFC it's revolting to watch.

I have more but thought I'd lead off with the two that are bugging me today.
