Copper pipes only need replacing that often if a) you cheaped out on construction and used the thinnest kind (M-type, which isn’t even legal in some states), and b) you had some pressure issue along the way that left the pipes only partially full of water for a time.

God damn, it’s been a while since I’ve crossed paths with an honest-to-god rube! Keep on keepin’ on, you flickering bulb.

Not every method of viewing Lemmy shows things like that… all I see is “muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee,” no flags or whatever. Thankfully, I have a good memory - so I’ll be able to remember that you’re an international twat.

Is your skin this thin in real life, or only online?

I’d hazard a guess that they’re just taking pity on you for not having an older fridge. Many appliances made 25+ years ago are still working just fine, perhaps with a bit of maintenance, but nothing made in this century is built to last.

My mom’s fridge is over 30 years old, as are her washer and dryer, and all three are just chugging along like champs. My refrigerator is just about 25 years old and the only thing wrong with it is the gasket on the lower door needs to be replaced soon.

I live on an island in the Atlantic. There’s this beach cottage nestled in the dunes along the southern shore, and it’s been there for over a hundred years. The wealthy family that owns it no longer lives on the island, but they love the space and don’t want it to fall into ruin so they’ve had a series of caretakers for the past thirty years or so. The position is unpaid, BUT it comes with the freedom to use the property year-round. I was the caretaker for fifteen years, and a few years back passed the title down to a friend (so I can still visit.) It’s one of the most magical places on Earth, and every time I’m there it’s like my health and mana bars get refilled.

…has nothing to do with the OP’s question.

What you think about them, they think about you.

True, but irrelevant.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

Hard disagree - they have to be at least one of those things to be MAGA, usually both.

If they lived nextdoor you would probably find each other very pleasant.

Hah! They DO live next door and I most certainly don’t find them pleasant.

Maybe I’m just not quite awake yet and am missing the joke… but did you seriously miss the fact that “Snrub” is just “Burns” in reverse?

I used to be a programmer, but I got sick of the whole corporate scene. Now I build and maintain houses - and my hands are dirty a good amount of the time!

• YouTube Premium, because I listen to a ton of music but I also like listening to dorkier deep-dive video channels.
• Disney+ w/ Hulu because I am a raging Marvel fanboy and like to be able to keep up with shows like Simpsons/Family Guy/Bob’s Burgers.
• Office 365. This is the most likely to get canceled at some point. I used to need Office for work, but now I mostly use the Notes app and Excel on my phone… and the 1 TB of OneDrive storage isn’t as great a deal as it once was.

IMO, this is the most rational stance to have, regarding sportsball.

The only thing atheists should stop doing is tolerating the nonsense of the religidiots.

I like the cut of your jib.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I wish Trump and Putin could somehow be used to bash each other to death, simultaneously. So, I guess I’m as bad as you.

Shot by a Trump supporter?!? At a concert in Australia?!? I think that’s a bit of a stretch, mate.

I can also fight anyone that might barge in an try to assault me while I pee without peeing on myself so it’s a tactical defense position.

Bruh. You’re giving up your best offensive maneuver by sitting down! You piss AT your attacker!

Depends… are we playing Minecraft or Valheim?

Gotta be honest here, that sounds like some Ancient Aliens shit… is it a fact or a “fact” you’re sharing? Have any links to reputable sources of information?

Fucking legend. Thanks for the direct link and for (unintentionally) reminding me that it was time to change my PayPal password!
