Whatever

Yeah the reliability of appliances ain't what it used to be, and that's a fact

The safety switch on our washing machine died, oh, maybe 10 years ago.

Mrs Gritto said: "I guess we gotta buy a new one"
Me:





I just hot wired bypassed it.
It's not like it's gonna rip your arm off if you open the lid and the agitator doesn't stop


Our washer, dryer, and one of our refrigerators are all at least 35 years old.

 

I hadn't heard it either until recently


You're getting old, so get used to it

 

From the few repair guys I have talked to that are willing to say anything. Say STAY AWAY from Samsung appliances. They brake the most and are usually the hardest to get parts for.

 

That's what I've heard as well.
Isn't that odd?
Samsung electronics are on the whole quite well regarded.

 

I had to replace our water heater about 7-8 years ago.
Did it myself, of course.

It had one of those bullshit "smart" energy saving modules on it.
Now, I don't believe for a moment they actually save much energy.
If you're going on vacation, for instance, just cut the power at the breaker box.

Anyway, no matter what, it kept tripping the breaker
I disconnected the smart crap.
Behind the module is a small panel on the outer skin of the tank.
Underneath that are the old manual settings for on/off, max/min temperature and reset.
All good ever since

 

I got one of those too

 

It's used for most people in or from California

 

Found it

 

So now I’m a ladyboy? I’m clearly not @StrokingStork …

 

A bougie person is a lazy person with money...
That's like most of the definition of bougie..

Edit: also, too much money, too much free time

@SACTOWN meets both criteria!!

 

Not really hard if you start investing early in life. I technically started in the stock market at 25

 

But we like him anyway

Well, hard for a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck.
But it's true enough that you gotta build up assets, and the sooner the better.

 

I lived payed check to paycheck for almost 15 years..

 

Went with GE this time….

 

Agreed all our tvs are Samsung… knot wun problem at awl!
