The kitchens with a dishwasher looked complete, like the pictures of modern kitchens in magazines and those without one looked cheap and low end. I bet that was intentional - to 'upsell' the home buyers. Japanese consumer electronics take this to the extreme - they only have one or two...

My continental flight featured a can of soda or two. For a 4 hour flight, I can go without eating, but drinks, I'd like. My parents have flown South African in recent years, and found it to be very nice. Good service (even in steerage class), and on time. FWIW, they're also the only African...

"I'm at least $1000 a day, and more if it's an emergency..." Would you please tell? Either here or me in email? I am nearly dying of curiosity. Systems integrator. We build/test/program/service the control gear that makes water come and go from your home, if you're on "city water". We've got...

I flew Contiental out of Newark last year, and it was on time and comfy enough. One bad thing was the movie - so everyone had their shade down. I'm not one for Disneyfied entertainment. Anyway, it wasn't bad. Nor was the destination (Puerto Rico), now the cost - free, thanks to a customer who...

Ok, where's the underhood shots? :)

If it's a standard sized O ring, you should be able to get it anywhere....forever... Some seals and stuff like that are standard size items too. Ditto for bearings. Makes no sense to have a custom size o ring/bearing/seal when a normal one will do...

Ok, I'm seeing it leaking out of that the hole where the shaft goes in. Looks like it's just worn down a bit. I wonder, would it be possible to ream the hole out and install a bushing, kinda like a valve sleave in a car's cylinder head? You'd get a tight fit and that'd stop the leak... (just...

Unfortunately, the history of private nuclear industry has been a horrid tale of sacrificing safety to maximize profit. And in the US, the safety record of nuclear power is still better than every other industrialized country, except maybe France. If we are going to return to nuclear energy...

I'll take a wild guess and say that the trip fingers normally hold in a weight segment, but when tripped, the weight pulls out and pulls on the outer shoes. Kinda like a 2 speed clutch but with the ability to select the amount of weight involved... Pull it apart with more pics. That might...

We need a Manhattan project to replace coal, oil and gas generated electricity. We had one. It was, surprisingly, named The Manhattan Project. France gets 80% of its power from nuke. We can, too. That alone would make a HUGE dent in our carbon footprint. And give us cheaper electricity (nukes...

Interestingly, the electric codes in the US now require the use of plugs, for everything. Even dishwashers.

heh You almost expect to see a box around '55' on that dial :) Looks like AM's auto atylists had fun with this one...s

Oh even better, I was at a CNG fueling station last week for busses. Despite big 'NO SMOKING' signs everywhere, not to mention gas detectors, smoke detectors, etc etc etc etc.... Yep, I counted about 50 butts by the fueling pumps. They're blowing gas in at 3000psi into buses and smoking? I...

He's thinking "Man, this'll go GREAT with my collection at home!" While we're discussing D&M, did Modern Maid source from them? Oh hell, did ANYONE besides my grandma on my dad's side even HAVE Modern Maid stuff? I remember a dishwasher and a range. The range had these interesting infinite...

Ya know, that 'slow' looks a LOT faster than my parent's machine ever was. Until the clutch hung up on it, and it wouldn't do low. Ok, let's see some mechanism shots - I'm curious as to how GE does slow on these machines - if it's a 3 speed clutch or a two speed and two speed motor.... And if...

My parent's nuke has a useless 'popcorn' button, among others. I don't know why you can't just make your own program and assign it to the button instead, I'd like a one push pizza reheat - I've gotten the cycle I use down pat over the years. One NICE thing it has - you can enter in time X at...

The problem, I've read, isn't the aluminum, but rather the RTV adhesive that holds the tiles on. At around 350 degrees, it stops holding. Of course, this means the tile could pop off, or a whole bunch could. Exposing a large area to heat. Melt and bye bye shuttle. I'd take the extended...

The trashcans aren't too complex. You want COMPLEX, you should see a V or another Tormat era Seeburg. That mechanism is a true work of art. The AMI's with the search units were pretty complex, too

Me! me! me! (post more pictures, I might want this for my apatment)

But... do they shut off with a nice loud clunk? (:
