That’s how I was taught. Still use it for the most part.

Yeah, that's not for me. Mowing is for long, ambling straightaways and getting lost in the non-thoughts.

All I wanted, it came to me, was to mow a good lawn. To give it an once-over with the lawn mower, rake up the
clippings and then trim it nice and even with clippers-that is all. And that, I can do. Because that’s the way I feel it ought
to be done.
“Is not that right?” I spoke out loud.
No answer.

I'm so happy to not have a yard anymore. I'm sure i'll change my mind some time in life, but right now it's great.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Ours was $5k in 2012 for — I’m guessing — a much smaller unit than bammer’s house would require

Agreed. Top Shelf.
We just had our furnace replaced for $8k in December.
$10k is my guess.

We inherited a shitty Samsung fridge at our lake property. The ice maker’s never worked (known issue), but otherwise it was fine for the first eight months or so. Since then, it continues to ice up along the back panel (known issue) causing loud fan noise, and if left long enough, overall cooling problems. I’ve removed the back inside cover and chipped off the ice numerous times, and I’ve had a repairman out a couple times to reinsulate things and attempt to get the ice maker working.
At this point, it’s either an after market heater to deter ice build up (that could blow circuits) or get a new fridge. Leaning towards the latter, as the repairman’s willing to refund me the $160 I’ve paid him so far.
Oh, and there’s a whole FB community dedicated to this Samsung issue. I tried their various methods of getting Samsung to replace the ice maker for free, but was denied since I’m not the original purchaser of this piece of junk.
