What are these valves you speak of? I installed my dishwashers and the drain line just goes high before it goes to the disposal/drain. That is your backflow prevention...gravity.

There is always a bit of water sitting on the bottom of the dishwasher because of this. Of course my house is old with the original plumbing. they might add valves now.

<insert Wilheld comment about dishwasher fire/failure here>

Nah...don't look at dishwashers. Used to look at valves from them, though. If this job has taught me anything, it is do not run any major appliances if you aren't home.

Really sick of hearing "Oh him? You better watch out around him. He has a thing for Asian chicks" most times I mention having been introduced to various persons. GTFO and stop trying to put prejudices in my head. Many men have a thing for women, all-inclusive. You really don't need to bring that up at every opportunity.

Yup... some states/municipalities require an air gap, but I am having none of it. Didn't want an extra hole in my nice new countertops - I don't care what CA says!

"The impact on customer bills is always hard to quantify. We're certainly not promising that customer bills are going to go down or even increase less rapidly,"

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/02/comcast-no-promise-that-prices-will-go-down-or-even-increase-less-rapidly/

Which seems to clearly indicate, "Expect a massive, and rapid increase". :brickwall:

On an unrelated note, FedEx "smart" post has got to be the WORST courier service available. Really making hell for my PC delivery schedules.

this. I hate SP. totally unreliable. Its almost worth the extra couple of bucks to have FedEX screw it up themselves.

Agreed. As this was an RMA situation, I didn't have control over the shipping options. Originally scheduled for this past Sat. When it didn't show up, I went and re-checked the tracking and it indicated it was rescheduled for Tue! WTH?! Coming from the west coast and shipped on 2/11. It can't get here in less than a week?! I know...first world problems. But still!

In Alabama, I used to get so confused, FedEx would drop my packages off at the post office...

IT blocked Chrome, forcing me to use Internet Explorer 8. It's crashing and freezing about every 5 seconds.

sounds about right. IE sucks

Same here. And I just don't get how that "saves" money. There seems to be much more interfacing going on and paperwork that way.

What about Firefox? Bummer, IE8 is a dud.

I agree with this for every version IE9 or older. But they actually listened to users and made huge improvements to IE10 and 11. Of course I didn't believe this until I actually used them myself. But they actually run smoothly now and are light weight on system resources. I'm still a FF fan but for the non-adept PC users, I generally just have them stay with IE10/11 now to cut down on program installs.

^^^ Yes, but it will be short lived until they confiscate my computer for a Windows 7 upgrade, at which point, we do not have the ability to add/remove any programs.

 

[knight1fox3]

^ and what would happen if you circumvented that restriction?
