Does anybody actually want one of these things?

No.

I've never seen the Legion Go irl but the old one looked like the touchpad was just the right size too be unobtrusive but still practical. The new one looks like a thumb print reader.

Toronto Star is now Globe and Mail, Globe and Mail is now National Post, National Post is now Toronto Sun, Toronto Sun is now Infowars, and Infowars is now The Onion.

"this hour" new year special was actually pretty good except that the Poilievre bit dragged on far too long.

Trudeau's interview was excellent, given the constraints that a PM is under.

Jujitsu with Jagmeet was fun too.

I've never heard "I'm sorry Jon" called gorefield before.

I've never even heard of this before. Is it mostly a rendering library or is it a full game framework like Godot or Unity?

Wait they're still there? How the hell are they still there?

And thanks to the AI customers you can't afford it anyways.

Yeah, likewise. I'm upset about the terrorism of Hezbollah or Hamas, but Israel has quite obviously decided that two wrongs make a right and so is using this nightmare as an excuse to land-grab and settle scores, and the civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon are suffering for it.

 
 
 

Well, the dryer has been disassembled and vacuumed, the dead coil removed, the new coil swapped in, ready to reassemble as soon as the new belt arrives. I was surprised how much of the brown shmutz in the heater was just ash from the coils - it dusted off quite shiny after I replaced the coil.

I'm a little worried about the visibly duller part of the heater assembly, hopefully that won't absorb too much heat - I tried to cluster the coils a bit looser there to compensate.

It's even visible on the reverse side.

Either way, I'm reassembling tomorrow when the new belt arrives.

I feel like I have a moral responsibility to attempt to repair anything before making it waste. So I'm trying my hand at the dryer. Sadly I didnt' realize that the whole tub joint pops upwards so I detached the tub from the join and then found the join comes off pretty easy anyways.

Anyhow, everything is made of garbage these days:

But I think I can replace that. But while I'm in there: any recommendations on how to lubricate the tub joint? Anything else I should be replacing while I've got it apart? I noticed the tape sealing up the exhauste has disintegrated so I figure I should replace that with a strip of aluminum duct tape.
