Spin-off of the teen girl/weight/eating thread . . .
Comments (32)It sounds to me that your husband's comment was less about YOU and more about how to get the most out of your exercising. I say that because he suggested P90x, which is the dvd set that is often thought to be the "gold" standard that gets excellent results (or in your husband's words, whistle inducing results). You responded that you were too old for the whistles, and your husband basically said that age doesn't matter if the body is "perfect." Maybe it was his use of perfect that offended, but I would take his comments more just to mean that if you are serious about exercising, why waste your time on the lesser exercise systems--and instead just go for the gold....See MoreNeptune (MAH4000) is drowning - no spin, soaked clothes - why?
Comments (22)I have the stackable and would stop about 30 seconds into cycle and in spin mode would only spin slowly. Wax motor was new style and R11 was not visibly damaged, but another resister was. I replaced the resister and could only get intermittent use from the washer. Ran motor control test and tub spun for 30 seconds. Did not see any visible issues with motor control board. Saw a post about a fuse under the heat sink on the motor control board so I took the heat sink off and looked for the fuse that I could not find. However noticed that the connection from the chips on the board that get hot to the heat sink had very minimal and quite dried out thermal compound between them. Cleaned off, added more compound that I have from cleaning my laptop cooling fan (I used Arctic Silver) and reassembled. So far, success and washer seems to spin faster (clothes are drier coming out) than before. I could see the board becoming hot, increasing the resistance and causing this issue. Heat sink seems hotter than before too, indicating better heat transfer away from the board. Since the board in at the bottom and there is a dryer on the top, I could see this as being clogged with lint, however, this was not an issue on mine....See MoreChainsaw chain spins when brake is engaged
Comments (12)“How husqvarna 435 chainsaw chain break stops the chain youtube”. Is the search I ran to see if one of the videos will help you. Is it correct that the break is not stopping the chain? Does the break’s handle appear to be making proper contact with mechanics to engage the brake band on the hub to stop it? If not I would say the mechanics is not assembled correct. If so, I have seen mechanics that can be adjusted to keep the handle from being too sensitive (possible to cancel the break or excess resistance). Please show a Picture if any ext. adjustments are related to the handle Hopefully something in the videos will help, plus there seems to be more videos related showing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usP5XaXO7-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK7eKakMCz8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PIDvWmJEo4...See MoreTeen sentenced to 8 years in accident, but I have misgivings
Comments (75)Note: My long post is a response to a similarly long post by a member here who then deleted her post. Rather than delete mine also, I have decided to leave it because I hope some of my thoughts are relevant to the whole series of conversations here. However angry we may feel at the tragic consequences, it's clear that however long and how severe the punishment, it won't reverse what happened or bring back the poor lady who was killed, heal the gentleman's injuries any faster, or take the ache from the hearts of all concerned. Surely we have to ask ourselves what purpose is served here, that would not be equally well served by a 'short sharp shock' of jail time (not inconsiderable, if the tales we hear of what happens to 'pretty' young lads like that in jail are to be believed), a sizeable fine in relation to his potential earning power, and a long period of license cancellation along with some kind of rehabilitative programme and/or community service enabling the perpetrator to learn, grow and give back something to society. There are a number of philosophy of law books that may help understand why societies have various consequences to prohibited criminal activity and the purpose of various sentences in relation to that criminal activity. Certainly I believe it is just to hold people accountable for their actions, and while many systems of law have different rules for small children, at 19 those who are licensed drivers must be accountable for their driving. Age brings better judgment, but at 19 many have jobs, families, and are able to understand the consequences of their actions, and are able to perpetrate the sort of crimes that rules and law have been set up to handle that protect society. While diminished capacity has long been a defense to some crimes, the legal response to those who voluntarily drink or take drugs that lead to diminished capacity has been overwhelmingly on the side of holding that person accountable, and they are held accountable in a similar manner to others, not merely given a slap on the wrist which is not an adequate response if protecting society is one of the goals of law. In addition, there are a number of factors, some statutory, others that leave a judge with some leeway on sentence length. And in addition to that, there are other practical factors such as the economy which come into play, in a downturn there may be less or no funding for rehab programs as you describe. A particular sentence for a particular crime is always met with differing opinions, (the parties involved, their friends and family, readers) and it is exactly those differences that make the framework of law set up prior to the crime valuable. I believe that the anger many felt here was directed, in addition to this heinous crime (you can argue youth and lack of judgment and mitigating circumstances all day long, but backing up over someone just run over is not an 'oops' action), at the way the OP presented the situation and at his professed feeling that some lives are worthier than others. I don't believe a young person's years are worthier than an older person's years, as an older person myself, I object to and resent any thoughts that consequences for crimes against me should be discounted because of my age....See MoreElmer J Fudd
