The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 17hWe need some AC maintenance, but it needs to happen on a day when we know we won't need it and our HVAC guy is available. We're in mid October, still wondering when that will be. 110

The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 18hThey adjusted our bill (but it took 2-3 more weeks), and I made a claim for the cost of the plumber, got that $ back. But that didn't cover a lot of hours on the phone, checking around the house, and just stressing about it. 000
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 18hThe tech replaced the meter & made a phone call to look into it. He figured out that someone manually entered our usage data that month for some reason and messed up by a few decimal points. Actual usage was right in line with recent months. Until then no one believed me, not even a plumber. 100
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 18hHappens IRL too. A year ago I got a $3800 water bill for 330K gallons used in a month. Took 2 wks to get a tech out to check the meter. In the meantime, every water co rep said "must be right, that's the reading". Hired a plumber to inspect, no leaks but said maybe we did use that much somehow. 100
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 19hYep, arrange transport to the resort in advance (hotels/resorts can usually help with this) and go right pass the people offering rides at the airport. And have WhatsApp set up- it's what drivers, tour operators, and even restaurants use to communicate. 000

The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I love getting an email or postcard from a salesperson saying "I'd really like to buy your [car I haven't owned in 4 years]." It's that kind of attention to detail I look for in someone wanting to do business with me. 110
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 09/10/2026When my son was about 8, he was that was his favorite pizza. I asked him why and he said "it's a really big piece of pizza and I don't have to share it". 130

The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I almost don't want @briancgrubb.bsky.social to see this because it isn't real and can't ever be made. 000
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh man, this game is going to cost me some productivity. I would watch this movie. But Branagh is miscast, and there's no way a movie with such a dark premise could be as dark as it needs to be with a PG rating. 100

The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I defer to @jeffwzimmerman.bsky.social on that, but yeah, sounds like it would be cloying. Although the peanut butter whidkey I tried was better than I expected. 100
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 07/10/2026And like cab drivers before them, whether they've been in Vegas for 5 minutes or 50 years, they're required to say that things were better when the mob was in charge. 010
The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Same. I've found that the more charitable explanation for someone questioning an estrangement is their own family relationships are healthy/loving/close & they just can't comprehend it. Less charitable one is someone engaging in (or more commonly enabling) the behavior that led to the estrangement. 110

The Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It was a preview of how fans would respond to something that we knew would happen: members of legacy acts dying or becoming too frail or rich or disinterested to keep going (or to perform at a high level). A lot of folks just want to hear the music, even if the band is basically a tribute act. 000
