But actually do those free library things ever get used? Part of me feels like it's people trying to do something nice but which no one really wants lol

Wonder if that’s what the guy in the stall next to me at Barnes and Noble yesterday evening was reading.

Wooooooooooooosh.

The trick on Craigslist is to list it for some amount, even if you'd be willing to give it away. That weeds out all the opportunistic people who don't really want a <whatever> and are only messaging because they want free shit.

There's also a funny phenomenon where if you list something for way too much it will sell faster and easier than if you priced it low. If you price low people will assume something is wrong with it, price it high and give a sizable price cut during negotiation and they think they got a fantastic deal.

Call the permit office and ask them. When I called about my ground level deck, it requires a permit. I don't remember the specifics of what made it cross that threshold.

Edit: You said for a shed. Disregard this. Like someone else posted, you should be good as long you keep it under 256 sqft.

Appliances in general are fucking nuts now.

Source: just had to get a new fridge and am shopping to replace my slide-in range. Solidly in "goddamn" territory cost-wise.

So, people should not donate the books you don’t want to see?

Turn it into a smoker

The good thing about Whirlpools is that they've been making fridges forever, parts are easy to come by, and they're simple compared to the Samsungs and LGs. I'm running an 18-year-old Frigidaire that's still running like a champ that I picked up from Lowes scratch-and-dent section, fortunately the scratches and dents are on the side that isn't visible where I put the fridge...

If you're in the city, they'll haul it away for a $50 fee. (Fee applies to appliances only. Other bulky items like furniture are removed for free.) Leave it at the curb/alley with your trash, the day of your trash pickup on the same week as your recycling collection. For an additional $100 they'll do an expedited pickup within 24 hours. Dial 311 or use RVA311.com to submit a request.

No idea, but it was the most bland, overhyped food I’ve tried in a while.

I've heard the same thing about LG's as well. The overall consensus is that they've made them far too complex to the point if a single, small, generally insignificant component fails, the whole system shuts down. I had bought an LG Inverter window AC last year to bide my time until I replaced my heat pump, and that thing had over 100 points used for its diagnosis board, ranging from probes for the temps and pressures on the high and low side, air flow, and a bunch of stuff that was redundant. While yes, it's an inverter unit, it doesn't have to be made that complex! I'll stick with my now 18-year-old Frigidaire refrigerator with its simple design that the only thing I've had to do so far is replace the water switch and motor for the ice maker...

Trying to give anything away for free tends to be more hassle than it's worth. I've had way better luck listing stuff for a $100 and just not giving a shit about how much I actually get. The people who browse for free stuff all day long are delusional. The people willing to pay $100 generally are less hassle to deal with.

Fuck

Yes.

Or buy ordination online

For $29.99 you can be ordained and becom a “legitimate” faith leader too!

They had valentine meat juice recently but maybe sold out.

Tarrant's West was perfect for us! We had a small wedding party there in October with 25 people. The room rental was $200 and the food and alcohol (beer and wine) was $1600. I think their food pricing went up a smidge from when we booked it.

Oh, I agree that under normal circumstances, the condenser coil being dirty wouldn't cause ice buildup, but with how incredibly overengineered Samsung makes their brown-goods, I wouldn't put it past them to have some sort of circuit that would cause frost buildup in the freezer. They really need to stick with phones, tablets, TV's and wearables, or dramatically dumb-down the controls for their refrigerators, washers and dryers, and other appliances. But yea, my bet is the defrost board...

Nope, you can get hot pot , KBBQ, or both! I got both and liked the kbbq a lot more but I think it was mostly because the hot pot broth I chose had barely any salt to it.

There's a class action lawsuit with Samsung fridges right now. They're dog shit, 0/10.

If anyone is reading this looking for a new fridge, stay the hell away from Samsung. I've heard LG is horrible too.

It's a shame, I like the Samsung fridges designs alot. They look modern and they're pretty great when they work. It's just they don't work well often....and they're a pain in the ass to work on

Seriously, why is Merv still around? He’s already retired from his previous job in Delaware and CCPS is sorely in need of fresh blood for leadership.

things might have changed but the last free fridge I tried to give away was a nightmare.

I will take you up on that. Should have new fridge in place tomorrow, I can leave the old Samsung out by my curb and send you a message with my address and you can come grab it whenever.
