Sell Me a Washing Machine
Got these hooked up today and was briefly cussing Speed Queen for not including the screws required to attach the plug to the terminal block on the dryer. Wasted a good hour digging through my box of random shit in the garage to find one that fit before I could go to Ace and buy three new ones with the same threads. Got home, installed them, open the dryer door...packet of screws inside. Fuck me! Anyway, washed a few loads of clothes and everything seems to be working. Love the simplicity.

AFC Championship Game: Bengals @ Chiefs, CBS
My Great Aunt and Uncle live in Cincinnati and have been Bengals fans as long as I can remember. She passed away a couple weeks ago. Sucks she didn't get to see this. Hope they win it all though.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
Ha, basically look the same. I went with this model instead of the classic because we don't normally have super dirty clothes. I know a lot of die hards only like the older ones with the classic wash technology.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
We just bought one with a pool and everyone told us to get a separate pool inspection. It was $130 I think.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
These ones were $2200 with tax. Pretty expensive, but I think the Maytag set I was looking at was $1600-$1700 and hopefully these pay off over the long-term. Time will tell.

Had these delivered today. Not hooked up yet, but hope they last a long time.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
I think that's probably true. The booster seems to be pretty effective, at least in the short-term.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
My fever got pretty damn high one night and I had waves of fever and chills for a day or two. It wasn't horrible, but it sucked. I was Pfizer vaxxed last May, but no booster. And yeah, a huge number I know are getting this when they didn't get any of the others. At least that they know about.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Ha, no but that same person moved the meeting from Tuesday to Wednesday right after I talked to you. Just waiting for it to get moved to Thursday now.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Someone sent me a meeting request on a day I clearly had marked as being out. I explained that I wouldn't be able to make it and declined. Got another request an hour later from the same person on the same day. I declined again. Still not available.

Yep. The prices for them are absurd too.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
My taste and smell are definitely fucked today after being fine for the whole week. Not sure if it's just from lingering congestion or if I get to deal with this for the next several weeks/months.

Post a vid doing a burnout!

Could have had your husband assemble it for you and avoided all this mess.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
No loss of smell or taste yet for me (knock on wood), but definitely pounding headaches, sore throat, and fever in waves.

I was thinking that as well, but we both tested positive for the 'vid.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Last night was pretty bad and honestly my fever was getting to the point where it was concerning. It must have finally broke at some point because I woke up feeling 100 times better. Hopefully that was the worst of it.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Wife and I have something. Test scheduled for the morning. Both Pfizer X2, but no boosters. I got my flu shot back in September/October. So far I seem to be getting it worse with aches, chills, pounding headache and fever. Basically everything I felt after the second shot except ramped up.

Legit kitchen appliances & accessories
Electric can openers and wine bottle openers are idiotic. Solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Sell. Me. A TV.
Google TV interface on the Sony OLED is the best I've used. You can add it to any TV with the newer Chromecast, but it's nice having it all integrated.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
I've been wanting to get a set of Speed Queens since my Whirlpool washer shit the bed a few years ago. Have been using the in-laws old Kenmore and I hate it. Think I'll use moving to a new house as an excuse to finally pull the trigger. Which ones do you have? The capacity seems small compared to all the other brands these days, but I have no idea what my old one was.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I always choose the flexibility because you don't know what the future will bring. I get a 60 month car loan and pay it off in 12-24 months if possible. Nice to know I don't have to if shit hits the fan though.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
I remember about five years back my daughter had a bad incident at her daycare that required emergency surgery. She was transported to the medical center and we had to wait in the ER area until the surgeon could get to us. It was absolutely packed. This was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday. I drove home to grab some things around 2AM and passed back through...still packed. Next morning was packed as well. I guess it's just always like that, but it seemed strange.
