Can't you hide a meth lab under these

btw... I got this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+7.2+Cu.+Ft.+9-Cycle+Ultra-Large+Capacity+Electric+Dryer+-+White/5021538.p?id=1218597394765&skuId=5021538 and this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+4.2+Cu.+Ft.+9-Cycle+Top-Loading+Washer+-+White/5021501.p?id=1218597396724&skuId=5021501 If you can wait a few weeks, the sale prices on these can be significant. I was between LG and Samsung. Just so happened Samsung was on sale the week I bought them.

For the bearings... they are located behind/under the center of the wash tub. On a top load, weight is balanced directly over the bearing. On a top load, the weight is hanging in front of the main bearing. I can't speak to how frequently they actually fail. But I heard the exact same comment from 2 people that fix them.

I just went through this. I spoke to a couple people that repair appliances (friends of friends). The verdict seems to be that front load washers look cool, but they WILL EVENTUALLY LEAK. The door seals eventually go bad, they are more prone to bearing failures, and more likely to have issues with mold. I was going to go with a front load washer, but my mind was changed by people that fix them for a living. I wound up with a Samsung top loader. No regrets.

Match the drapes ?

So it would seem. Of course, that is usually the case for those that feel more comfortable blaming the victim.

I would imagine the reasoning behind it is to prevent non-running vehicles from being left on the street indefinitely. Some HOAs have similar rules about how long vehicles/trailers/campers can be left in the same spot in YOUR driveway.

zing!

Choppers are still a thing?

I have an Arrow. Definitely a high quality pipe.

People kill people. That's why there is a 9 month waiting period.

Hmmm.

Escape from NY is a classic.

I'd rather sweat.

Ask the Canadians who come to the US to have surgery.

Yep, yep, & yep.

Shhh. You're not supposed to remember that.

They are creating a new tax or fine or penalty...call it what you will. Tax waivers have existed for a long time. No new precedent there. The precedent is requiring Americans to purchase a consumer product. If they create a new Kick in the Balls Tax, but you can have it waived by proving that your balls have already been kicked repeatedly. You win, right?

You're kidding right?

Your analolgy doesn't fit. I can choose not to buy gas, pay the gas tax, or buy auto insurance. I can walk or ride a bicycle, stay home, etc. In the case of APA, I am being taxed for NOT buying a consumer product. You can call it a tax or a fine or a penalty or a kick in the balls. Either way it's money leaving your pocket because you didn't buy a consumer product.

No, they can't decide anything, it's been mandated.

The decision leaves in place the so-called individual mandate -- the requirement on Americans to have or buy health insurance beginning in 2014 or face a penalty -- although many are exempt from that provision. In 2014, the penalty will be $285 per family or 1% of income, whichever is greater. By 2016, it goes up to $2,085 per family or 2.5% of income.

Not just related to this outcome...or the Obama administration...I would also include legislation like the Patriot act... ...Our government is looking more and more like the one our Founding Fathers found intolerable about 237 years ago.

The mandate. Specifically, federally imposed financial penalties for not purchasing a consumer product. Now that the Supreme Court has set this precedent will it appear in other legislation? I see this as dangerous.
