Re: Just booked my first flight on Spirit- experiences? - 8 days ago

We flew Spirit from Detroit to Texas and flew Frontier on the return trip. Spirit will never get a dime from me again. Worst experience I've had in my lifetime of 85 years. The Spirit trip had delay after delay after delay at both ends of the trip. One and done is the way I feel about it.

Both latest FF and Safari are giving me: "You can't go to this page. The certificate of MacResourse.com has expired." At the bottom of that message are 2 tabs: Details & Go Back. I had to use Brave to get in. Anyone else? Edit: scrapping cache and everything else made no difference.

Re: Dishwasher help - 5 weeks ago

vicrock, Door switches often go bad. any dishwashers have 2 of them. One allows power to the control board and downstream functions. The other usually allows the motor and pump to run because the door is closed. You need to check proof both are good before you blame the control panel.

Re: Quick follow up and question on neighbor’s computer - 7 weeks ago

Quotepdq Review so far: neighbor’s 2013 iMac ... Another mystery solved. Ask the lingering questions, especially Hotmail/Exchange questions on Apple Support Community. State the problem by steps you take (1, 2, 3...), and then list the steps you have taken to remedy. I have received some good advice from those folks.

QuoteOmbligo "If Needed"... put another way if the ISS is destroyed and they have no choice. I doubt the astronauts are complaining though, more time in space is a bonus. One problem: As I understand it, bone density deteriorates while in space. Exercise can do only so much to counteract this.

Re: Just bought an inverter generator - is there any reason to 'break it in'? - 2 months ago

Quotemattkime I'm honestly having a hard time coming up with something to use as a load. Maybe I need to borrow an electric heater from a neighbor. Shut off the Main circuit breaker at your electrical box, cutting off outside power. Then plug the generator into any wall circuit, inside or outside. That will feed juice back to the electric box and out again to all outlets on that leg (half the

What about the situation where it is pouring rain or heavy snow? The inside of the door gets soaked and you get soaked upon closing. More precipitation inside the car, too. How do you escape when the car is sinking in a body of water?
