Replacement knobs are fairly cheap and abundant. You can upgrade to a digital automatic one if you like. In anycase (when you have a new one) there is a brass ring that you turn to take it off. Pushing in on the front flat part of the knob toward the pipe will help to turn the ring.

I'm so sick of companies pissing away all of their profit and money to make rich people richer then when the smallest problem hits it is our problem. We pay. Fuck them.

Looking at this (below) with some super sloppy math they have made in the last ten years 25 billion in profits and 5 billion in losses totally 20 billion in profits (give or take as my interest in totalling this accurately is zero). The fact that they used their money irresponsibly and didn't say for a raining day, or it's raining planes day, is not the tax payers that need to save them. I'm in my mid 30s, you know how many times I've seen extremely profitable and successful "too big to fail" businesses bailed out. Fuck the fucking fuckers and anyone who trys and correct my math.

I got a new dishwasher that has a "glass front door". I paid extra for the glass door for this reason - I want to see it. But guess what - hahaha - the glass door is simply placed over metal and you can't see shit.

Boy I'm getting super sick of these, "Millennials are doing this ____ , gen Zers are ruining that ____ , boomers are mad about ____" articles. Having one less thing to divide us as people would be nice right about now.

I know it's a joke about Americans not speaking a second language, but they aren't too bad at it. They land at about 23% and seeing how the EU average is 25% that's rather good. https://www.americathebilingual.com/the-surprising-truth-about-american-bilingualism-what-the-data-tells-us/

  1. that people are perfect. We all mess up. Forgive and more importantly move on.
  2. that your partner will always be the same. People change over time, and so will you.
  3. that your love will always be the same. It changes over time

This is easily explained like most anti EV articles.

  1. Don't forget about alternate motivations (money and power). We know that there is an extreme amount of money put into tricking the public to not buy EVs from many organizations (Political, gas and oil companies, countries depending on gas and oil production... Etc). Check the source - it's Faux news... Red flag

  2. does this make sense, do we have a comparison? Surely this can't be the first time EVs were cold. I live in Europe, and I know the Nordic countries have tons of EVs. When I was in Iceland during the winter, I rented a EV and it was fucking cold. Mine was fine, they all are fine despite likely worse conditions... This article may have some seeds of truth somewhere but sounds like bullshit.

You're mom sounds like she isn't the best person to take care of your dog. You need a solution, not for you but for your dog. If that solution isn't you, find someone else. A loving home is what any dog deserves, even if that means it is out of your life.

Relationships are complicated, and I'm sure many people will say you should never see you mom again... But that's not for us to judge. What seems clear is that the dog is your responsibility, and you need to be more responsible for it. You can choose who you spend your time with, and what you tolerate; the pup can't.

There's actually a lot of plant based meat that are chemical / preservative free, Redefine Meat comes first to mind. As there is a lot of animal meat that is full of chemicals, preservatives, carcinogens, and antibiotics use.

I would only assume most fast food meals, meat ones included, are not chemical / preservative free. That's a western fast food problem, vegan or not.

Lastly, vegan people broadly don't eat plant based meats. Like it get the joke... It's just broadly inaccurate. Meat eaters, people trying to eat less meat, and some vegetarians buy plant based meats.
