  • The model number should be printed on a sticker inside the door, somewhere.

    Sorry, can’t help with that specific model but I came here to express my rage and frustration at appliance manufacturers who use a totally inappropriate plastic for door bins.

    Also, cyanoacrylate seems to work pretty well. Doesn’t solve the underlying problem. Remember when fridges had metal? I do.

  • I can see how the conversation could go, outside of Texas

    It’s seasonal use. It’s not like it’s full time occupation. It’s a camp, most of the time they’re not going to be in the buildings. Etc.

    It’s a weak argument and I think that places like that need more code than less (think of fires, etc.). There’s ways to make rustic, summer camp buildings fun and safe, but a quick glance at the safety precautions taken to move children to school in the USA is sufficient to understand the risk assessment process. If it hurts kids occasionally, it’s probably fine. Just as long as shareholders aren’t hurt

  • There is a gene (iirc) that’s linked to caffeine management and metabolism. You’ve probably got it. It also means that you don’t a lot of the measured benefits (eg sports performance). There’s also tolerance that develops over time but that’s different. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780443138683000533

    ADHD is linked to caffeine tolerance but, speaking for myself, I get very jittery with more than my usual 2 strong cups of coffee. I do intentionally keep it that way; I don’t want caffeine tolerance.

  • It’s only weird if you keep shaving them for him. Open conversations like that are a sign of great communication and trust!

    I know that removing pubes can have a health impact for vagina owners. I don’t know if that holds true for penis owners. That may be something to investigate and advise.

  • You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.

    But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.

    So - absolutely not.

    There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?

  • Income taxes (and also sales taxes, in most cases) disproportionately impact lower earners. Someone earning minimum wage likely devotes the majority of their income to cost of living essentials. Conversely, someone earning 10x minimum wage will spend a much lower percentage.

    The exclusion level generally is set quite a bit below minimum wages, and the a progressive tax doesn’t always fix that, as cost of living/inflation can outpace legislation very quickly.

    The other reason that it’s not entirely fair is that the wealthy don’t earn a salary. They earn dividends and do all kinds of things to avoid having an income. Someone who pulls down $1 million in salary either needs an accountant or earns an additional 10x compensation via stock grants, dividends, etc., which are (in most jurisdictions) taxed very differently than income. In the USA, for example, the top tax bracket (federal) for income is 37%, whereas a stock grant held for 1 year after vesting would be taxed at no more than 20% (and I’m grossly oversimplifying).

    1. It’s still in use, but perhaps seasonally or infrequently.
    2. It’s gonna get fixed just as soon as I have time.
    3. It’s got parts for the other one I have.
    4. Might be useful someday. It’s got parts, and the hardware store is 20 miles away.
    5. Scrap metal value.
    6. The dump is 20 miles away, gonna get a load built up and do a dump run with Jimmy, just as soon as his trailer gets fixed.
    7. The dump doesn’t take that thing.
    8. Redneck decor.
    9. The dump is closed
  • The current situation with megabytes of JavaScript is pretty bad, but at the time, there was still a fair bit of dialup active, and mobile web was just starting to be a thing - on EDGE and barely 3G. It would take minutes to load.

    Also, Steve Jobs had it in for Flash and that’s what ultimately killed it off, I think.
