That looks like Jet brand, great brand, worth keeping if it's in decent shape. 8)

Re: Things that irritate you

I'm an old man, very much set in my ways. Having just been evicted from my long-term laptop home (my Windows 7 laptop would no longer power up, or physically charge the battery), I am now trying to get to grips with a shiny new Windows 11 beast. Fair to say I delayed moving from Windows 7 longer th...

Re: Things that irritate you

Honestly, I expected that, by now, every commercial would have a character named Alexa. One character says "What are you going to do today ALEXA?". The other replies quickly "Buy {product} from Amazon!" Oh, now THAT would be evil, but I can totally see it happening in the near f...

Re: Things that irritate you

vids can certainly be helpful, but they often gloss over important info for the uninitiated that to a pro is old hat and doesn't bother mentioning. I often refer to the peanut butter sandwich analogy, which is basically you teaching someone to make a PBJ sandwich who has never made a sammich or even...

Re: Bored? Come To The Chit / Chat Thread

$35 preorder which implies another $40 at time of fulfillment for a total of $75 for the chassis plate. If you need a nose or motor plate to go with it, that would be an additional $25 - $30. As Colt points out, there's enough bad grammar and poor wording that I wouldn't do anything without contacti...

Re: Things that irritate you

I'm pretty much convinced that comedians ceased to exist about 20 years ago. Sure, the occasional funny joke might happen, or humorous interaction, but rarely, and I do mean RARELY, can I sit and watch any so called "comedian" for the entirety of their video. They simply . . . are . . . no...

Re: Things that irritate you

Brief funny video clips that say "Wait for it" or "Watch to the end". I mean, who the heck watches a funny video compilation and STOPS watching 5-second clips just before they end?? :roll: That is what you find irritating? That the WHOLE video is worth a watch?!?!?! Usually, any...

Re: The dog thread

I'm shocked that they haven't adapted to running on beer :mrgreen: :lol: I was dog sitting for a friend a few months back, Sammy looks like a lab in a corgi body. At any rate, I was giving his owner poop and staged empty beer bottles in and around Sammy's kennel, took pix, then texted said owner to...

Because it wasn't the installer's job to have to service the unit. "Ain't my job, ain't my problem!"

Re: Bored? Come To The Chit / Chat Thread

I've been trying to remove a forced dash out of my username for years now Reminds me of a somewhat humorous thing I read a while back, real or not, don't know, but amusing. A teacher, always struggling to pronounce student's names, had a new African-American student, who's name was La-a. Teacher: I...

Re: Bored? Come To The Chit / Chat Thread

For me, that just turns into, Yes, this, exactly! The house I'm currently in is wrong in every way! It's too small, poorly laid out, no storage. To get to the backyard I have to go out through the garage, which is the side of the house and around. This makes the backyard completely inaccessible and...
