I had a dishwasher and one of the plastic wheels that let the top drawer roll out broke. No problem, just buy a new one and replace it. But alas, for some of the models the company wasn't making single parts available. You had to buy the whole upper drawer/tray assembly to fix one plastic wheel at a price of $300 when new dishwashers were starting for around $100 more. For some other models you could buy just the wheel but definitely not this one.
And if you think I'm not naming the company, FU Maytag.
Plus the fact that when she went looking for a law firm before she found them. They probably weren't counting on her finding a competent lawyer this time around.
And have it display the names of streets that are coming up if you have the option turned on. Not really required if you have your phone or a GPS system in your car but it would look cool which is basically what this system is about. The only thing that I can see being useful is the lines being projected showing the width of the car. The rest seems kind of pointless.
I was in a shop that loved silver bullets. The fact that none of them worked should have clued management into the fact that silver bullets don't work. But they tried kept adding different things to their development environment such as new tools and methodologies such as Agile. And everything had to be Java. Doesn't matter that the existing application was working fine, and had been for years, it was going to get converted. They were even going to convert formmail.pl (it's been a while but I think that's the executable's name for Form Mail) into Java because they were a Java shop. They drank the Kool-Aid deep there.
I wanted to get in contact with one place who used an infinite page but they put the link to the contact information at the bottom of the page. So every time I scrolled to the bottom it would load the next section before I could click on the link.
Those jobs aren't coming back. Even if the mines come back to full operation they are going to be automated as much as possible. The mine owners don't care about the workers. They were a convenient thing to be used in the election but neither Clinton nor Trump really care about the miners. The best thing they can do is find other work because coal mining as a way of life is over. Even if the environment could take the burning of the burning of the coal, which it can't, the robots are here to take over the jobs.
We don't need to produce 50% more food by 2050 when we're throwing out so much food today. In the developing countries it's mainly because of a lack of storage and refrigeration causing the wastage. There is also the problem of getting the food to market before it spoils. If the proper investments can be made to help those problems then the farmers will be better off, people will be able to get more food, and all done without more land and chemicals.
Yes we are going to have to produce more food in the future but it won't have to be the 50% that the World Bank is stating.
Well, I did say with the light as in I had the walk sign so I do make the assumption that cars going in the other direction are going to stop at a red light. However I don't blindly walk out into the intersection. These drivers ran through red lights because they were too busy looking at their phones. I wasn't looking through the windshield to try and guess their mood but I did see then using their phone.
It's a good thing that at least one of us was paying attention. There are a number of pedestrians that walk around with their eyes locked on their phone and if they had been at that intersection then they probably would have been hit.
But if you plant the seed from a Granny Smith you won't get a Granny Smith apple tree so why would I expect to get iPhone 6 Pluses if I plant an iPhone 6 Plus./s
I'm sure that will comfort you when one of them hits you as you are walking across the street with the light and get hit by someone who is paying more attention to their phone than their driving. I've almost been hit a couple of times because the driver has been looking at their phones instead of seeing the stop sign.
It's fake aloe vera for you which may not that be that big of a deal. A few years ago in the UK it was horse meat instead of beef. And the less said about the fish you buy the better.
It's about having the trust in your retail system that when you go to buy something that you are really getting that something.
Since these are store brands Walmart (and the other stores) are going to a manufacturer with a specification and getting them to make the lotion. What we don't know in this case is Walmart specifying a lotion without aloe and still having it listed as one of the two main ingredients or is Walmart specifying a lotion with aloe and the company making the lotion substituting cheaper ingredients. In the second case Walmart has to put better tests in place before accepting orders.
Either way Walmart is going to get named in the lawsuit along with the company making the lotion. If Walmart wanted the aloe lotion without the aloe then the contract company probably gets away without paying anything since it was just doing what Walmart wanted. If the contract manufacturer was trying to cheat than I could see them being found 95% at fault and Walmart being 5% at fault because they weren't thorough enough with their testing and just because they had the ultimate responsibility as their name was on it.
When someone gets severely injured in combat they are stabilized as best as they can and a call for a helicopter is made. The helicopter has at least one medically trained person on board. The patients need medical care on the way back to base. What happens if the patient is receiving CPR when the drone arrives? Do you stop CPR and load them up? With a helicopter you load them and continue with treatment. What if the person experiences a cardiac arrest on the way back to base? They are dead if they are on the drone. On the helicopter the medical people can attend to the person.
Sorry but people will die if you use drones to transport them back to base for serious cases. Maybe if they use them for cases that aren't life threatening so that the helicopters are freed up for the life threatening cases. I could see someone who was shot in the shoulder or leg and was stable (not in shock, not much blood lost, awake, etc) being taken by the drone.
I love ground source heat pumps, I really do, but they are expensive to install. Especially in an urban setting. Last year I replaced my natural gas furnace and I looked into the options available to me. The ground source heat pump was about five times the price of a lower priced high end natural gas furnace and A/C when you added the cost of having a company come in and drill the holes for the loops. The newer air source heat pumps which are now able to handle most of Eastern Ontario winters are about twice the price of furnace and A/C but then you have to add in the cost of backup furnace for the short times when the temperatures are too cold for the pump.
If you are building a house in an area that doesn't have a natural gas connection then the ground source heat pump becomes more viable. It depends on the cost to hook up the house to the pipeline. The other option is if a builder is putting up a bunch of homes at once. They can get the drilling company to come in and do all of the holes at one time or do some sort of centralized system which would spread the cost out.
The one thing that I hate to see is the large buildings that don't use a ground source heat pump. I would love to see it mandated for them to use the heat pump.
I'm not justifying what they did but the majority of the stores that were closed were right beside a Best Buy store that was built when they moved up into Canada. After the buyout I think the idea was to try and make it look like an electronics area sort of how multiple car dealers will clump together. It still doesn't excuse the terrible treatment towards the staff.
They have stopped questioning anything that they are told and accept everything that they are told as true. And this isn't a new problem in the past year or so. Back in the early 2000s many people accepted the "fact" that Iraq had WMDs without question and it lead to the death of 100,000s It just seems worse now because it's become easier to spread the misinformation with the click of a button or a tap of a screen. Before they were urban legends.
We are now going to have to protect our right for free speech because some in the establishment will want to "think of the children" and start cracking down on fake news.

Some of the programs are available as podcasts too. I listen to quite a few of them.
