I’m in the middle of it right now but I’ve got an old plug in oil heater that I decided to pop open the cover and have a look-see before condemning myself to buying another for probably $100ish.

I am so far from comfortable working on electronics or woodworking or traditional guy stuff, but this radiator is old in the sense of it’s built like a brick shit house and hooked up to a simple mechanical switch with 3 wires, one of which is the power cord that finally disintegrated from the heat.

It’s so simply built even I can feel confident swapping out for a new mechanical switch and some new wiring.

And that’s all that will happen if recent events have anything to say about it

I mean yeah that’s true.

But on reddit reposts were everywhere and it was very common for bots to karma farm by doing so, so calling it out had a purpose.

My first instinct was to call this a repost as I remember seeing this like 4 years ago on reddit but this is a different platform altogether.

Though it Is worth the reminder to Treat yo self

Cool story bro. Guess you’re okay with trump winning and he also supports genocide

Won’t anyone think of the entitled racists?! Their voluntarily given testimony was used against them in court and they don’t like that! They don’t think they deserve life in prison! So what if they used racial slurs on social media that doesn’t mean that they deserve to be treated like criminals! Unfairly slapped with federal hate crime charges!

What is it with troglodytes like these who whine that the justice system is treating them unfair. Somethingsomething I’m a good white person who made a mistake once so I don’t deserve to be thrown in prison. The level of entitlement is appalling

If you’re in Oregon or Washington and west of the Cascades your house is worth what it’s valued. The wildfire threat almost entirely stops at the mountains.

Unfortunately the smoke doesn’t but it looks like the rest of the continent is getting it lately too.

Detroit definitely is. Stuff is cheap there and things are turning around, just doesn’t have the momentum or wider recognition of any of this yet.

There’s a reason why Portland Oregon was so well known for being weird. Parts of the city were dingy for a long time but if you were glass half full about that it meant living there was affordable. All the poor creatives could live in a city open to change, not just the folks with high paying bullshit jobs that normally are the only ones who can afford to live close to work in the city.

If I had the money to invest in some real estate, I would have bought stuff in the Detroit area since it’s got all the same ingredients to be the next Portland

That headline reads like it belongs on The Onion

Don’t threaten me with a good time

I would assume hot earl gray tea came up in that conversation somewhere?

Probably. They gotta appeal to the casually racist voters too

We’re rooting for you guys 💪

I very much am hoping that Gretchen Whitmer gets picked for VP. Trump picked Vance to draw in the Midwest votes, Gretch could easily kick him in the balls if picked

I think that’s shallow water they’re walking through

There’s also this company that caters to this sort of thing. I’ve been considering moving to this someday, maybe when my current phone dies. I’m the kind of person that needs a genuinely dumbed down phone to limit access since I’d just get the key out of the drawer and ‘cheat’ eventually.

This is a weird hill to die on

Thank you Finally someone who understands

That would explain why my weekend sucked, never had much of a seasonal allergy problem before. Good to know

It do be like that
