    I'd rather drink molten lead than PBR.

    New PEs

    I've heard of new PE's on this forum asking other members to fill out that form.  That's a bit shady since most of us have not worked with each other. AFAIK, the licensing board doesn't come down on references if a PE gets in trouble with them.  Even if you vouch for them, they are still...

    My major roof surfaces face the wrong direction (need a large south-facing roof in the northern hemisphere to make it work) and my roof is shaded for a large part of the day.  If it weren't for those two factors, I would already have rooftop solar.

    I think the "negligent" part indicates they might not have known, but they *should have* known.

    Whatcha Playin?

    I finally just ordered a Switch and Mario Maker 2.  The lure of newly designed levels for old Mario games was too strong for me.

    2019 FIFA Women's World Cup

    The US came out pretty flat against Spain.  We were fortunate to get those two PKs...I don't think we would have won that match without them.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Correct.  Taking a case to trial is exorbitantly expensive, so most insurance companies would rather settle.  Using an expert with a lot of knowledge of a particular failure mode is typically a good way to get a settlement.  But Electrolux was so pissed at that particular expert that they told...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Consumer Product Safety Commission is supposed to force the manufacturer to issue a recall when a product is unsafe, but for whatever reason, they neglected to do so with the Electrolux dryers.  UL finally updated their standards for dryers to specifically address the issue with the dryers, so...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I've seen over 2,000 Electrolux dryer fires, and those fuckers never recalled the faulty design.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    In the older ones (2002-2006), there was a fault in the control board in the top right corner of the door that caught fire (I've seen over 500 of those fires).  In newer models (2016?), there is a proprietary power cord attachment in the bottom back right corner of the tub.  I've only seen 5 of...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Stainless steel is worth the extra price if you plan on being anywhere near the kitchen while it's running.  The plastic tub models are loud as hell. I don't inspect dishwashers, but I know that they all have their issues.  FWIW, I have a Bosch that I got free from work (just had to replace the...

    The standards for toddlers and drunk adults are about the same, so id say shitting outdoors is AOK for at least another year or so.

    Engineering as a "status" occupation? LMAO

    My company recently hired a metallurgist, and before we hired one, we employed one of two local firms that have multiple metallurgists on staff.
