I did refuse to ship the vacuum & created such a stink they agreed to ship the stick on foam gasket to the repair shop, but I still had to let the repair shop "install" it.

Years ago, a boyfriend lamented to me that his vacuum broke & he'd have to buy a new again. I shocked him by replacing the belt and restoring full functionality for about $5. I wonder if any vacuums you can replace basic parts on even exist anymore.

My mom taught me when I was a kid how to replace the belt when it broke on the Hoover vacuum she had from before I was born until the day she died. I'm pretty sure 1 of my sisters still has & uses that vacuum, which I'm positive does not have any stick on parts. Planned obsolescence is shit.

But they don't sell those kind of parts to consumers. Turns out they don't want to provide them to their authorized dealer/repair shops. Dyson wanted me to ship an entire vacuum to a factory in another state to get a small stick on foam gasket replaced. Something that could be sent in an envelope.

Dyson is terrible. The sphere vacuum was an all time worst purchase & I will never buy any of their products ever again. I discovered a suction issue was caused by a badly placed stick on foam gasket at a tube connection. Something super cheap that I could easily replace if Dyson would let me.

Or be really accurate and call him a pedophile sex trafficker. There's no justification in watering down his myriad crimes, unless @nytimes.com intention is to "rebrand" Epstein in order to protect the other wealthy pedophiles that were paying Epstein to have underage girls sex trafficked to them.

Somewhere, I have a picture of myself dressed like a winter ninja, because 5he pilot in my wall heater of my rental had gone out. I hate having cold extremities, & I have chronic illnesses that make me get cold easily. I have hauled a plug-in heater around to help keep my immediate area warm.

I like shouting into the void. I like being able to get my feelings out without needing to deal with them IRL. Seriously.

He does things for people that flatter him all the time. Why else does his entire administration shove their faces into his asshole & lick deep in public meetings & press conferences? Do you think what they say actually represents their real feelings & beliefs about him?

I think you've gotta give it to her. I'm sure she knew that physical possession & any statement she makes does not transfer that to him, & she likely made a calculated decision to appeal to his vanity for any support she could get to actually bring democracy to Venezuela.

Impeach to force the Republicans in congress to register their support for it before the midterms. Make then defend that vote the entire time they're trying to keep their seats. Doesn't pass the senate? Fine, just make sure the senate has to defend their votes or refusal to vote on it before too.

Honestly, all the Mira Grant aka @seananmcguire.bsky.social books are like catnip to me, & it's sooo many that I've wanted and not been able to find when I've had money for more books.
