  • I’ve had so much luck with used appliances, the trick is to go to appliance shops that are able to do repairs.

    We’ve gotten two different sets from two different used appliance stores. The first set lasted about 9 years and survived several moves. When they finally died we found another (refurbished) matching set, $400 at a used appliance store, they even took our old set away (which I’m sure and hope they refurb’d and sold again). We used them for about 4 months, when the washer suddenly stopped working. We called the place we got it from and they actually came out and repaired it for free due to a 6 month warranty we didn’t even know about, they were super apologetic. It was a pretty positive experience.

    We’ve been pretty lucky I guess. You might have to shop around a bit but you can definitely save a ton of money if you’re willing to forgo bells and whistles.


















  • He came over during the first wave of reddit API refugees afaik, contributes a ton (is terminally online), and probably messaged the mods/admins expressing an interest in modding.

    He’s a bit of a PTB but I’ve seen worse. Forums/magazines/etc aren’t democracies and as the old internet adage goes “mods = gods” and you don’t have to like them but there’s little than can be done about their temper tantrums.

    I’ve learned to limit my interactions with him as he definitely tries to bait people or put words in their mouths, pretty typical mod bullshit tbh.
