  • We have similar ‘smart’ Samsung washer and dryers that we purchased last year after our old Kenmore units bit the dust after many many years.

    I am quick to warn anyone that I come across DO NOT buy Samsung machines under any circumstance.

    Our wash times (and dry but especially wash) went up from astronomically. Even though the load size was supposed to be one of the largest we could find it no where near compares to what we had. Plus, a month or so after we had ours we received a notification from Samsung that they needed to log into our washer and do a ‘firmware’ update because several of those models were causing fires.

    Imagine your washing machine causing a fucking fire and burning your house down.


  • I remember further back to the big one in 2000. I had a coworker who was convinced it was the end times and had been massively hoarding food for it. He had even been buying stuff like fruit trees, planting them in his backyard along with building a huge garden.

    Friends of his had told us he had built a bunker for his family. He got really weird (or weirder) toward the end of that year and started inviting certain close coworkers, who were still talking to him, to hold up with him and his family.

    Oddly enough it was only guys with young wives or girlfriends , and they were specifically invited to join. No one went but we all joked he was trying to start a cult.

    The guy soon after got fired and I never heard from him again. Am sure he is still around somewhere.




  • Any recommendations for iOS? I’ve been just using Safari if I need/want to go back to look something up. Although I’m finding a lot of old subs I used to haunt have gone NSFW, and I don’t mean stuff with boobs.

    It seems a lot of folks don’t want you to access stuff anymore or at least not easily and I am not setting up anaccount again to do it.









  • I read your post and reply below and am surprised that your info never showed back up online.

    I tried this myself about a year ago back when Google first announced they would also add a tool to assist in removal of unnecessary info like this.

    I found that I was able to remove about 70% that never came back.

    10-15 percent more, whether they were via Google or whatever, would flat out refuse to remove the info for various reasons.

    The remainder would often remove it only for me to find it later with some sort of ‘change’ and that being - they put the info back in and had changed the spelling of my last name or now had me listed as a business so as to get around certain privacy listing rules (like WTF).




  • I switched up my meds as I’ve found my regular allergy meds are simply not working any more.

    I’ve been using Claritin as needed before bed the last few weeks and also Astapro (probably butchered that spelling) as needed off and on during the spring season. The latter is a nasal spray and it actually does a pretty good job.

    Last weekend I came down with either a cold or sinus infection so I broke down and got some behind the counter 12 hour Sudafed. Those have immediately helped me but I’m limited to taking them during the daytime and only before 12pm because they seem to really keep me wired unfortunately.

    I think someone else mentioned an option of pain relief - I usually use Motrin or a generic. That way it hits with a (not too high) dosage of Tylenol and Ibuprofen that works well to tamper down the sinuses.
