this is why i make sure not to buy from the manufacturer and purchase from a local appliance dealer. whirlpool’s warranty company is outsourced and basically a scam. i have an appliance repair guy who’s been around 25+ years also. you just can’t trust corpos.

it’s an idiom for “stopped working.” it dates back to the book of genesis in the bible.

i just threw away a $1200, ~30 cubic feet whirlpool refrigerator because of an electrical issue that i found and fixed later. it was an intermittent neutral on the junction box and/or a push in receptacle on heavy gauge wire, it haunts me.

they are super good. i have a couple maytag commercial units i treasure. these brands really are worth the extra cost.

it can be done but it’s not profitable. how are the appliance companies going to stay in business if you buy one every 50 years? think of the shareholders. /s

I hate myself for seeing it right away

right? his response, immediately after a shocked look, was, “i love you too, bro.”

fair. my spouse is basically insistent that i sexually harass her at all times. i’m forming bad habits because if it. I had to get around a coworker, and I gently caressed his back.

EDIT:
in case there’s concerns. we giggled like idiots about it for the rest of the shift, so no harm was done. i was very tired that day.

i usually just forget absolutely everything about a show after even a short break, the plot, the characters, everything, just gone.

it’s always a ceramic something with me. i just got a polish ceramic cat. i can’t stop myself sometimes.

i don’t understand why they tell us they make gobs of money, it’s like they’re mocking us.

i would just hear, “you have pleasant feet.” and not know how to respond.

i’m deathly afraid of goth girls. i mean the real spooky ones.

i have a dedicated metal box for this because wild animals.

i like this but it is far too erudite for this subreddit.

mathmagicians was the best job.

editing your post kinda ruined my joke but ok.

i was a rich young woman’s pet for a while. it wasn’t really all that rewarding and ultimately i ran away.

i quote this constantly. i’ve seen it so many times.

Baja be thy blast, that’s a good one.

well, one isn’t born yet.

Seth MacFarlane revealed that the phrase was originally used by his college film history professor to explain why he didn't care for The Sound of Music, a line MacFarlane admitted he never fully understood, leading him to put it into Peter Griffin's mouth as pseudo-intellectual filler.

here’s a link to the explanation (paywalled)

“it insists upon itself.”

“it insists upon itself.”

it’s called a “skeuomorph,” if we’re being hard ons about it. it’s supposed to make an object look familiar or infer its use from the previous object.

someone told me it was symbolic.

The tiny handle on maple syrup jars and bottles is an ornamental design element kept from an older version of the object.
