yes, but it is not lined up, and I think they used a screw head that is too big :colbert:

View attachment 38906

How about some pix of the rail when the drawer is extended to its fullest?
Those screws you see there shouldn't be removable through the slots. The slots exist ONLY so, should the need arise, you can easily tighten the screws without removing the drawer. (or so I think)

Just to enlarge the opening to get to the screws. That's all.

or I just leave the zip ties in place until my brother finds out how to disengage the slide rail. He's a renovator, he can find out.

Tried to fire up my propane pizza oven in the back a bit ago and nothing happened. Tried to troubleshoot but couldn"t figure out why. So now if I want pizza I'll have to cook it in my regular 500 degree kitchen oven :(

I was craving a KFC famous bowl so I had to drive across town to get one. If you're craving a famous bowl nothing else really fits the bill. While I was there I ordered one of their Popeye chicken sandwich knockoffs out of curiosity.

It was the WORST fast food thing I can ever remember eating. The chicken filet in the sandwich was huge and looked good but it tasted like fracking rubber. It was chewy and disgusting and had obviously been microwaved.

The bun was dry and the sauce and pickles weren't anything to write home about either. KFC just slid WAY down my list. It didn't help that I've been to Chic-fil-A recently either.

Had to reset my AMEX password because they don't support characters anymore. WTF?
i don't get how certain websites have limits on password length or restrictions on which characters you can use. let me use my 20+ character jumbled nonsense from lastpass, damnit!


as to my first world problem, my 3d printer has finally shipped but is somewhere between china and my house, and i have no idea when it will arrive because the tracking info i received was not particularly useful.

Boss: Could you send me that info?
Me: Sure.

<Me tries to copy/paste text out of one email message into another in Outlook on iPhone.>
Me: Select like this?
iPhone: Fuck you.
Me: This way?
iPhone: Fuck you double time.
Me: How about this way.
iPhone: I fuck your whole family, I dig up your ancestral burying ground and fuck your whole family tree.

I had to get out of bed and fire up the laptop because I wanted to select text.

Apple - We make the impossible!

You know how I know when it is Wednesday? It is when I get that free time of the week once a quarter and want to go get a haircut and the barber is closed. He's closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. I only seem to have free time during the week on Wednesdays.

Now see, that is some first world sh!t right there!

Update: when I walked out the door, the 3d printer was sitting there. Go figure.

It's in Pennsylvania

How does that affect the password requirements? (Srs question)

My water tank is making weird noises. I think I'm very close to needing a replacement but I don't want to spend the money. If I'm going to replace it, I want to get a good high efficiency one, either a tankless or tank, but I want to go with a condensing unit. They work similar to a furnace and are around 90% efficient instead of like 40% efficient like my current one.

I'm trying to pay off my credit line but stuff like this keeps coming up so it's hardly moving. I'll probably end up using my tax return to buy a new tank. Cheapest is to just go with same style then it will be drop in. I'm even debating on going electric then I can install it myself, but that is going to rack up my hydro bill quite a lot. Could eventually tie it to the solar setup though. Need like 6000 watts though lmao. I don't have physical space for that many panels.

I am considering that option as mentioned. Hence why I said tankless or tank. Tankless is like 6 grand installed, tank is around 3. I would probably buy a Home Depot unit and do part of the install myself to save money and just hire out the gas fit work but that part alone is still about a grand. But if I go electric then I can do the entire install myself so I'd be looking at maybe 1 grand total. But then it would easily double my hydro bill so is it really worth it. Or would it? I'm really not sure. The elements are 3kw each but not sure how much they typically run.

Cheapest option might be the low efficiency gas style like what I have now as that is about 2 grand installed, and technically I should be able to do that install myself except for the gas part but the line is right there so it would not be expensive.

Either way in the end I should save money as I'll be getting rid of the rental contract too. I just want to own it.

The guy I rent a garage from for my car is not having the driveway cleared. This guy has 3 garages each rented for hundreds of dollars a month, and refuses to clear snow the once, maybe twice, a year it's needed. What a cheap schmuck. Fucking jackwagon!

Refinanced my house. My escrow from the last mortgage was refunded via check and got that back yesterday.
I tried to deposit with the check deposit thing on the bank app.

Check was too big and I had to drive to the bank and deposit it today.
