It sounded like the president of United States Line was extremely concerned about fire safety in and above/beyond general requirements for flammability that the Navy was requiring. I gather that the USS America was a more characterful and charming running mate.

Rather sad, but better than many, endings for a storied career. I came across a discussion somewhere, can't remember where, about how the interiors were a lot less interesting, and in fact, somewhat cold, due to the emphasis on fire safety, which harmed the ship somewhat in it's career.

Is this an O'Keefe lurking in this commercial? And really, she should have stuck with this husband....

Welp, it came out fine, but the drain hose broke in several places so I was on majorly borrowed time. I also realized that they rain the hose all the way to the back behind the unit rather than through the side like the water line. And the electric for the dishwasher was done right, but for...

I ended up buying the smooth hose because it seemed like it was better made than the corrugated hose. I was too worn out yesterday to do anything with the dishwasher, it'll be later this week. I've watched a couple video's about disassembly/connecting and reassembling/disconnecting. Any...

Drain Hose Leak..... So I had friends over for a solstice dinner and noticed that something didn't sound right. The gosh darn dang drain hose was leaking in the corner cabinet. I guess I have a fun Sunday project.... Will those ribbed drain hoses work? Like the ones from Menards or Home Despot?

My city replaced the cobra head fixtures with LED's with excellent cut off - really made the city more pleasant at night with less glare above the top of the light pole. Headlights seems to be a problem - wonder if it's age or that a lot of cars are taller now (SUV's) and they hit right at...

Has David Noughton weighed in?

If I remember correctly, the telephone system was not part of the postal system in Sweden. They also were an early adopter of the telephone (by world standards) and had a similar penetration/density of subscribers to the US by the 1920's iirc - I've seen the figures, but it was a long time ago...

Finally found it Sorry to bump an old thread, but I finally found the Swedish telephonic laundry room reservation system - and punch cards!

Mini-duct system I believe that there is another option and that is mini-ducted systems. No, I'm not talking the high-velocity ducts, though that might be an option, but a variant of mini-splits which have a short run of ducts that could be in a closet, crawl space or soffit installation and...

I've been growing scallions in a jar on my counter. Just plop them in water, change it daily and viola! I can't remember where I got this tip, but it's rather nice to have the green on the counter.

Norway gets a lot, or used to, of weird appliance brands. We had an ITT fridge. Don't remember the other brands - fridge and stove.

Right below it was an English Electric washing machine which was manufactured in Canada! Love the multiple labels with the Norwegian importer at Stortingsgaten 18... https://www.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=313907637&ci=7

Two hundred kronor is practically free! OK, exaggerating a bit there. But still cheap. When I lived in Norway as a kid our washer broke and the LL bought a new Zanussi with a funky formica top. Front loader obviously.
