She broke something on it, not sure what, but it was under warranty, so they fixed it no questions asked. So your chats about the durability issues might be true, but they made it right. Appreciate it, if they fixed it super quick that's a good sign that it's probably on the rarer side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No damage reported yet, which is great news. It's our first day in a new house in NJ, I thought something was wrong with the house haha. I've never felt an earthquake before so had no idea what was going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading up on Fisker, and was intrigued, but even at their price point I think it's not enough of a discount. Would have to be well further down. Also, it seems almost a foregone conclusion that they are going to enter BK and given that it's delivery base, far too much of a risk that you're just going to get screwed, I think. Maybe end up as one of their creditors in the BK proceedings. Not sure what the price point would have to be for me to potentially consider it. Isn't Nissan buying Fisker or something so they can play in the EV game too? Also, those things...i hate EVs because they're not public transit and cars are dumb...but those Fisker ones are so darn good looking.

I want to get one and be done with it for a decade so I started looking at Sebo/Miele/etc, but the idea of spending upwards of a grand on a vacuum is also nuts to me on its face. I have a Hoover one. It basically overheats so i i have to do my little space a few hundred square feet at a time. Which isn't ideal. But that's also about my personal threshold for vacuuming anyway. So it's probably time to sit down and have a drink in between anyway. So i guess that works out alright. Even the super expensive Dyson ones in that "style" that i've used seem to have the same problem anyway. The electric motors just get way too hot and don't have any actual cooling system. I'd just get a Hoover one probably. Because like...then you can Hoover stuff up instead of Vacuuming. And i can't think of another brand that can be used as a verb that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 My baby started daycare beginning of March. We have been sick since the beginning of March. Good lord. Luckily we aren’t paying American prices for the joy of being ill, but babies are gross man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never felt an earthquake before so had no idea what was going on. You know that feeling most of you east coasters get when Californians complain and call sub-50-degree temperatures cold (or "freezing")? That's the reaction a lot of us out west had to people flipping over a 5-pointer (earthquake). I'm not saying it's something to be proud of largely being desensitized to, but as someone who used to live in a house legitimately along the San Andreas fault line, I've lived through a felt multiple upper-6's (Northridge in '94 and San Simeon in '03). Both Northern and Southern CA average a 5-pointer every 5 years and 3- or 4-pointers at least bi-annually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr LBC Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Just now, skywindO2 said: You speaking from experience? Moreso from there being a semi-recent arson case in a neighborhood nearby. I say arson because they were able to prove it was arson/intentional because, among other things, of the traces of accelerant found. And while the guy was doing it to try and get out from under crippling debt, he actually managed to get himself in jail and saddle his family with ever greater debt because the fire also caught and did extensive damage to his neighbor's properties.

It's honestly a pretty common mistake. Most budget home builders simply do not install enough BatGuard (tm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Something got me thinking again, about...how many of ya'll have actually seen a bald eagle in person? Up close but in the wild? It's such a 'Merikah thing, but how many Americans actually see them ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
