      It’s funny because I love my Samsung washer and dryer and I didn’t even buy them new. Now, granted, it is actually the second washer and third dryer after a quick succession of failures with buying used, but once I found the good ones I was set. I am now 6 years strong on them and the total cost was still significantly less than buying new.

      My only complaint it the washer door seal molding and no easy way to replace it, so you have to deep clean it every 6 months to a year. Otherwise the only maintenance is standard ‘de-scale and odor eliminator’ packets.

        I’m happy you got a good batch. My sister’s owned two of them, against my advice, and they’ve both been shit-heaps. On the first, the transmission went out after a couple of years, and it was cheaper to replace it than repair.

        On the second, it would get off balance during the spin cycle. I replaced the suspension dampers and less than 2 years later, it’s starting to do it again.

        Everything else I’ve bought from them is great.

          I have a set. Bought before my dad said I should avoid them. But I haven’t had any issues aside from the dryer making a weird sound for a short period of time then never happening again. They’re almost 3 years old currently.

      Used to paint garage floors for new construction in the early ‘00s and can absolutely concur with this assessment. Supposedly “concrete” columns nothing more than PVC pipe sprayed with a layer of cement and then stucco for texture; “crushed coral” window frames just high density foam sprayed to look like coral. These were homes being marketed as luxury but built exactly like the cheap apartments that were also popping up everywhere. Foundations are now cracking, exteriors peeling away and revealing extensive mildew…

      I can’t argue with that. That company sees food as a product. They buy restaurants and sell franchises, making food is just a side hustle for them. Sadly, I’m a loyal McRib fan, and McGriddles would be great if they didn’t come with cheese.

      My first job was Long John Silver’s, but even though it was pretty gross, I still eat there. I can’t stand their malt vinegar sauce, and I honestly don’t know what it’s all about, but I’m from the dirty south so anything deep fried is ok with me.

        The mc rib in particular is why I stopped eating there. After seeing what it looks like without the sauce did it for me. Fries are fine, but they’re just grease.

    I worked for a company that made sport betting “soft gambling” apps, which isn’t something I really enjoy doing on my phone. I actually have one downloaded, but just as a weird kind of souvenir I guess. Another dev and I nearly killed ourselves getting it out on a deadline and the push lead us both to leave the company. He quit and was fired for being out of fucks to give. Haven’t launched the app in years, though.
