Interesting about the Dublin Dr. Pepper. A Jason's Deli here was carrying it for a short time back in the spring. I thought it was delicious. One day I went in and they didn't have it any more. There was a sign next to the drink fountain explaining that they weren't allowed to carry it any more...

Yeah, at one point I lived in an apartment that had been built in 1986, and it had a GE set very similar to this.

Reading this thread and looking at how the wigwag and the transmission work answers a question for me. I've always wondered why, when a BD Whirlpool/Kenmore goes to agitate, there's usually a moment's delay between the motor starting and the beginning of the agitation/recirc. Looking at how the...

Lemme see... In the kitchen: -KitchenAid wall oven, glass cooktop, warming drawer, dishwasher. -GE microwave oven -GE pop-up cooktop vent -Kenmore side-by-side fridge (soon to move to the rec room, its place to be taken by a new KitchenAid) -KitchenAid toaster -Old Sunbeam hand mixer -Itty...

And it only uses a cup of water!

Of course, there is the four metric tons of plastic chips...

Cyclamates The cyclamates ban was based on fraudulent research. No one has every demonstrated any health problems caused by reasonable consumption of cyclamates.

I recall that where I live, in the '60s before retail moved from downtown to the shopping malls, these Airtemps were a popular choice for downtown businesses. Nearly all the retail establishments had air conditioning by this time; it was a way of attracting business since there were still a lot...

You'd have to buy all of your clothes from Microsoft in order for it to work right. If it broke down, they'd tell you that the problem was caused by third-party clothes.

Since we just recently lost Harvey Kormann, I'll quote one of my favorite lines from Blazing Saddles: "Driver! Take me off this picture!"

Not a GE This is almost certainly a Whirlpool or Kenmore, probably from the '70s. The fold-down door, the lint filter door on top, and the non-rotating drum back are dead giveaways.

So the thread "Poor Power Point" in the Deluxe thread obviously sent my brain down the wrong path, and I got to thinking: What would happen if Microsoft made a washer? Everyone contribute! I'll get it started... What if Microsoft make a washer? It would only wash one item at a time unless you...
