I tried my main apartment window AC today, the fan won't even move as the bearings are totally shot. I always buy the 5 year extended in-home warranty from Sears because these window ACs don't ever last more than 2 years, this is the third time in 5 years they've had to replace the fan motor. I don't see how they can afford to have a repair guy come out to fix shit, that cost is WAY more than the cost of the entire unit. Lowes' warranty made more sense, if it breaks in the 3 year time frame, they just give you a new one. Of course, I like Sears way better, as I don't have to haul heavy AC units around myself. At least another of my AC units isn't ending up in the ocean, so I guess that's good.
Holy shit! Look what this weekend's AC repair would have come to if not for the warranty I purchased! WELL OVER A $600 REPAIR FOR A $400 AC!!! And this is the third major repair in 5 years. Not bad for a $80 warranty ;)

You can only build credit with debt. It's fucked up lol. I was doing the same thing. Buying shit then paying it right off. Now I let it build a few hundred then pay it. As long as you keep 75 percent payed off it'll keep the computer happy and give you a great standing with your banks. It's bullshit you have to use it. "Have debt or be broke"
My buddy worked for VISA. You know what they call folks who pay their CC balances each month? Deadbeats.

Anybody have/going to get Starlink?
My area is covered well by 5G and cable.

At $499 for the dish and $99 a month the fees for starlink are high but if you have few choices then it is an option.

What is the Starlink beta?
Starlink satellite internet service is currently undergoing a public beta—which SpaceX calls a “Better than Nothing Beta” as a reminder that service is still in its infancy. The Starlink beta users are told to expect periodic outages since the satellite constellation is not built out fully.

They should waive the monthly fees for anyone participating in the beta until it’s done. And defer paying for the dish.

RIU truly is a site to make ya think it's informative, listen to some good tunes, hell you can even get stuck in the rabbit hole now and then, but most of all it's a good laugh, bring plenty of popcorn.

Two days ago the nation (UK) was told we could now finally meet with 6 people from different households outside.

The night before last my friends and I ( la dee da) went out to local woods and they were doing a new moon celebration or something okay okay I was doing it too sheesh anyways, after having a blunt and feeling mashed, we built a fire with stones around it and I starting to think that this is nice, I'm with friends the vibes are good and there is a nice warm fire(it's pretty cold) a woman comes out of nowhere with a watering can and starts shouting " don't you know what's going on" and puts the fire out then storms off.

I was like wtf what what


Got para buried my joint and threw the wood away, then realised I'm over 50 ffs.


It was like a Saturday night live sketch or the furry freak brother's comic.

Just not cutout to be a boy scout ffs.

Didn't happen...But I got another one minus glass. A Buchi R-114 with a B-480 water bath. You can still get the vapor tube gasket for it, and I bought it cheap enough I can resell it for parts of it doesn't work out...But it is guaranteed to work so I just need to buy a condenser and flasks.

I'm looking at the dry ice condensers and then there is no need for a chiller!

I am having a hell of a time finding one crucial part, so we'll see. There's another one I really like for about $1300...I might just bight the bullet! But this is the same model I got only without the glass, so it would make a parts machine for me.

I want to know why tho...what does that do, that's worth 1300. is it like a medical thing, or does it make some part of smoking that much better?
You can make your own cart oil / THC oil with one of these, and not add any of the bullshit they do commercially, which a lot of those fillers are unknown as to health consequences.This machine does it efficiently with the use of vacuum so you can cook off the alcohol at lower temps, AND recover the alcohol to re-use.
