No, the refrigerator was dead and not running. It was just an insulated box, i.e. just a small room in which to put the computer.

Or you can do what a friend of mine did. He found an old abandoned beverage refrigerator and kept his computer in it. It didn't overheat and you couldn't hear the fans. I guess that the reefer solution qualifies as not being in the same room.

Happy Birthday!

It looks like you're headed up the creek without a paddle.

So you're basically asking how much burn in time salsa needs, right? Well, it depends. Is this MilSpec salsa? Also, how big are the tomato chunks?

Looks good. I didn't know that In 'N Out had ribs.

Me three!

Happy Birthday!

Your BGs just weren't burned in enough. They probably weren't milspec either.

I agree that traffic is miserable there now. It seems to run heavy from 6 am to 8 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 6 pm on weekends. When I'm sitting in it, I always wonder how people can do it day in and day out. I couldn't and retain my sanity. Where in SoCal are you now? Hopefully a nicer place with little traffic and good air.

Ugh, way too often for me. You have my sympathy.

Except for the connections to the IEC socket. Yes, the Millet is very nicely made.

Did you get the matching stockings too?

Happy Birthday Dan!

A couple of years ago we replaced our toilets with Toto G-Max toilets. They use gravity but have 3" flapper valves. Since then, we haven't had anything resembling a clog. It just flushes, and very quickly too. I'm very happy to basically be able to retire the plunger.

This explains the behavior of our white cat Gringo.

Yes. Welcome Manuel.

I'd be more worried if the ad was still there and still in "for sale" state.

I'm assuming that you are doing this via email. I suggest sending him a registered letter or your equivalent. This is a letter that guaranties and documents that SP has received the letter. In it, state the terms of what SP can do to make you happy and give a reasonable date for him to comply with your terms. Tell SP that if they don't comply, the next letter will be to the Colorado Attorney General. Another approach would be to hire a Colorado attorney to do the same thing for you. Sorry that it has come to this for you.

I don't think I'm being kind. Mikhail does this and shouldn't. It's bad business and people will eventually respond as they are now. Mikhail should give realistic schedules and meet them. If he doesn't, he should be forthright about why and give a new schedule and meet that. Not meeting a schedule should be an uncommon occurrence. He definitely should not say something is "ready to ship" when it is not or make other excuses. All he has to do is be honest about it. Most people can handle that. It will be hard for SP to survive this and SP, and SP alone, are to blame. Hopefully nobody will lose money if they go out of business, but people probably will. I also understand why people are unhappy. I was when my ship date slipped several times and was lied to at least once about it. However, I knew the risk I took and didn't complain, at least to anybody but Mikhail. In the end, I did receive it and am satisfied. Since then, I won't do any upgrades or anything else with SP unless I can be sure that I will receive it when promised. SP is losing some business because I'd like to do an upgrade. Please don't think that I'm condoning Mikhail's business practices because I'm not, and voting so with my money. So IMO, the unrealistic schedules and lies about shipping state, etc. are bad business, but they are not fraud. I don't think a jury would think so either (not lawyers) but who knows. We may well find out in the near future. Note: I use SP and Mikhail interchangeably, they are the same in this post.

I agree that he's lied to you about it being ready to ship. I'm sure you weren't the first or the last. I consider being lied to "bad business practice" until the point I've been cheated out of my money. Then it becomes fraud. If you haven't, why don't you? If he will, then the problem for you is done. Otherwise, I'd try to work out some kind of plan. If I couldn't do that to my satisfaction, then I'd see what legal recourse I had, because then it would be fraud to me.

I agree. This is very unsettling. He should ask Mikhail to buy it back. I think he would, especially considering the current circumstances. But, maybe Afrikane has already tried that.

Nice save.

I agree with all of these statements. I believe that Mikhail is being sincere when he says he's changing the way he does business. He's obviously heard that he has to from many people. The question is can he and will he actually do it. He needs to say some words now and show a lot of action for a long time.

So did you fix it by making them switched for the entire movie?
