This is exactly it. But it doesn't fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

until we come up with a solution to this "infinite growth" problem.

This is why cancer research is so important. But for now, we can try the old standbys of surgical removal and full-system poison.

Well I'm glad to hear you had a better experience than I did. I have my fingers crossed that everything holds up on this end, and the washer was a freak occurrence.

MelodiousFunk , 1 month ago to Technology in Samsung’s smart fridges mistakenly warned users its free TV service was ending

you want reliable? go with LG or GE.

Going to have to disagree based on personal experience (which admittedly has limited value). Bought LG washer, dryer, and fridge when we moved. The washer blew the clutch seal after about 4 and a half years. The dryer sensor is unreliable (leading to taking jeans or blankets out, them still being damp, and having to put them back in on a timer). And the fridge compressor sounds like it's struggling.

The most absurd part is that we replaced the washer with a similar LG model (one with an agitator - I looked into just replacing the part but it was half the price of the washer, the underside of the impeller was moldy because lack of water flow, something no amount of tub clean cycles will fix, and the outer bucket was absolutely disgusting from the leak, with no easy way to hose it out) because everything else was either crap, ridiculously expensive, or both.

I hate this timeline.

The last application I wrote in VBA/Excel is still running 24/7 on a big screen in the command center of a company that was purchased for several billion dollars.

And yes, there are multiple database sheets. Filled with data scraped from another database. Data that was being written down on paper before I arrived and decided to learn VBA instead of develop permanent hand cramps.

You mean that sub that saw a huge surge in subscribers, increased bad faith actors, and general chaos ahead of the infamous mod schism that shredded any credibility that might have been hanging on?

As someone who watched it happen in real time, no one will ever be able to convince me that all of that was a coincidence.
