1960s and 70s, so they may have predated you a little.  In my case it would 
have been around 66-67 or thereabouts.

I remember being limited to checking out three books at a time.  My Mom 
volunteered at the library one day a week, so I would get her to check out 
additional volumes under her name for me…

Re: [MBZ] OT best new washer dryer

I do.

I was a voracious reader as young boy, and pretty much vacuumed up anything 
that was science or technology related. Since I read well above my age range, 
my first grade teacher had a deal set up where I could go into the section for 
the older kids when we went to the school library every week.  It was there 
that I discovered the “How and Why Wonder Books” and immediately devoured as 
many as possible.

Remember those, Mitch?

Re: [MBZ] OT best new washer dryer

2018-05-07 Thread Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes

As another poster mentioned, I have had good luck with a Whirlpool Duet washer. 
There were several models to choose from, and I went with the German made one 
that had a more robust bearing setup. It failed with an error message once, and 
the error message actually pointed to a defective switch. I bought the switch 
from an online appliance parts purveyor for cheap, completed the repair in 
about 10 minutes. Very satisfied.

The Duet replaced a Neptune that SWMBO demanded (based on that her friend had 
one) and did not end well. The Neptune dryer still is fine after 20 years.

I did research Consumer Reports (available online through the public library) 
which I consider a decent resource for this type of product. YMMV.

Ok what was the group consensus on the best washer dryer combo? The order
has come down from on high. She wants LG. I say no way. I dont want any
weird music box bs in my house.

Thoughts? Higher priced stuff ok if it is actually better.

Yes.

They’re called upon to make things cheap because there are people in the market 
who will always buy the least expensive item no matter what the quality.  If 
that wasn’t the case, there’s no justification for their business model.

It’s easy for them to cut corners in some areas, such as rubber parts, and 
still sell them at a profit.  Granted, if it’s a dealer part you’ve got a lot 
of overhead coupled with that part that won’t go away.  Many of those costs 
don’t exist for third party suppliers, but if they can cut corners elsewhere, 
such as in labor or material costs, they’ll do it and take the profits it 
provides.

My uncle Paul has been the photographer for the Forest Grove Concourse
d'Elegance for many years. It is put on by the local rotary club and both
my moms brothers are Rotarians.

Anyway that is where I have seen several Stanley Steamers. I will have to
look them up to see how they tick, as I was only a kid at the time.

 I don't think it's possible for one of those to leave the factory with 256 
 packaging, 128 silkscreening, and 32 formattable capacity.
 I'd say 99.9% counterfeit.
 Might be fun to send it to Samsung along with the seller's info.

Samsung is the world leader in flash memory. 
I seriously doubt they're in the habit of making mistakes of the scope required 
to explain Manfred's problem. 
However, there is a lot of counterfeit memory out in the wild, especially of SD 
cards and MicroSD cards.

Re: [MBZ] SD card format question

Much of the stuff we get from China is junk, but most often we get what
we pay for. It is cheap. Often the written material that comes with it
is almost indecipherable.
I have yet to get anything where I felt I had been deliberately cheated.
For the most part, the Chinese appear to be trying to produce reasonable
quality products.
They do seem to learn from their mistakes and some things that were
awful do appear to be getting better with time.

was NO silkscreen printing on the chip, like Cyrix always prints on the chip
after testing and before shipping. I could not get through to them to get an
RMA, so after a couple of weeks of trying, I just sent it back and ran a

informed that the chips were stolen, and went ahead and sold them anyway.

Re: [MBZ] OT best new washer dryer

We had a Westinghouse full size stacking front load washer and dryer new 
when my wife and I were married in 1973.
It was a good unit. Caused us very little trouble. Unfortunately, I 
listened to someone that I should have been more fortunate to avoid. 
(How is that for an odd statement?) Essentially what happened was that 
along about 1984 one of the units (dryer maybe) needed some part and I 
went to a local supplier looking for the piece. I got the part but was 
told that they were obsolete and that parts were very difficult to get. 
Then the washer acted up, and since we had a new baby in the house, my 
wife  decided we were getting a new washer and dryer. I took the washer 
apart and found out that it was just full of cobwebs and dust. Cleaned 
it with the vacuum cleaner and it ran fine. I sold the stacking setup to 
the manager at my bank for her daughter and I understand they had years 
of good service from it.  I later learned that there was no problem 
getting parts and that the fool who told me there was did not know what 
he was talking about. He did not work for a place that sold machines so 
he was not trying to sell me a new one. I think he just did not know.

The LG washer is great, and handles as much as the front loader did

Have you ever actually heard a stanley steamer drive at low speed? Somehow
there is no sound at all from the motor.

Re: [MBZ] OT steamers


Did a quick look but did not find the story about Jay Leno.
Did find out that a Stanley Steamer was clocked at 127 mph in 1906 and 
that it has 700 foot pounds of torque ready at rest.

Are you mounting the card as an SD card, or with USB adapter?  When I had to 
format a big SD card, I had to download a tool and mount the card with a USB 
adapter, and then I had no problems.  I don't remember the name of the tool, 
but it was a free download and provided lots of formatting flexibility (sector 
size?).

[MBZ] no substitute for size

Long story but a recent car accident here in the news happened between a 
F150 - probably 2006 or so judging by the photo in the paper - and an 
older VW Jetta. Woman in the Jetta made a u-turn on a 4 lane street with 
a median and got clobbered by the truck. She misjudged his speed and I 
hear that he was doing about double the speed limit so maybe easy for 
her to do so.


In any event, the truck apparently suffered no damage that intruded into 
the passenger compartment. The car did not fare so well. Back bumper is 
now touching the back of the driver's seat. She got hurt but survived. 
He was not injured so far as I know. Good thing there was no-one in the 
back seat.


Bigger is better for the most part when vehicles tangle.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Pressure Washer Surface Cleaners

Yep. I got one of those round scrubbers a few years ago. Love the 
way it works. Much quicker on large flat surfaces then either the 
regular nozzles or those turbo things that pulse in a small 
circle. That does work better though on engines as it seems to 
hit at a few different angles as you go.



Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote:

I borrowed one from a buddy to clean my driveway and sidewalks, a semi-annual 
exercise in Florida, and was amazed at how quick and easy it made the job 
compared to just using a fan nozzle.

Looks like most of the consumer grade models are clustered around the $50-$75 
range.  Just wondered if anyone owned one of these and what their opinion was 
of it.

Re: [MBZ] Serious drug use or stuck zero key?

That has to be a typo for the price.  $1200 makes sense (almost).

OK that's one of the weirder things I have heard in awhile. Like the lemon
pledge on headlights or whatever it was. I think I have googled that
problem and didn't see any kool aid mentioned. Is this some sort of april
fool's thing to see how many people you can get to try it?

I believe you can disable it.  I sort of like it compared to the former dryers 
that had obnoxious buzzers.

My new (LG) washer has a cleaning cycle.  Rather that paying for the pricey 
cleaner powders, I just buy a handful of KoolAde lemonade packets.  I think I 
use about four of them at a time, costs me all of a buck for a cleaning.

I do the same with my Bosch dishwasher.  Makes it all nice and shiny clean.
