Karma Chickens Redux
My computers have been working fine just lately, so I was waiting, and there, my washing machine (the new one) just blew up.
It doesn't turn on at all, so it's probably just the fuse. Do you think they provide any indication at all of where the fuse is or how to replace it?
Yeah. Right.

You can find a lot of info at repairclinic.com. For instance exploded pictures of washing machines you can hover a mouse over, and get explanations of different parts, and suggestions for possible repairs.
I don't think washing machines have fuses, but perhaps there's some overload-control that might need to be reset. I'm sure you are saavy enough to have tested the circuit it's plugged into...
Good luck.

Well, I hope it has a fuse, because otherwise it's broken. :(
At least it waited until I'd finished the washing before it went splut.

The fuse is in the most inaccessable location on the machine. That's where it ALWAYS is.
Except when the fuse ISN'T the problem. Then it's right out front where it's easy to get to.

*nod* Indeed, a week for the ages all around. However, I am happily surprised to say that "Batman Begins" is quite good. So maybe the weekend has a chance to be better than the week...

Life's Little Disappointments
The asian supermarket closest to New Pixy Central doesn't sell the strawberry Pocky that I like. It does sell two other types of strawberry Pocky; just not the one I like. I'm not sure about the asian supermarket second closest to New Pixy Central. The asian supermarket third closest to New Pixy Central does sell the strawberry Pocky that I like, but that's another four minutes walk.
The asian supermarket near the office (or rather, the new asian supermarket near the office, not the old asian supermarket near the office) also sells the strawberry Pocky that I like, but it charges ten cents more than the asian supermarket third closest to New Pixy Central.
On a side note, your Pocky has not expired. That first date is the date it was made. The second date, roughly a year later, is the use-by date. Enjoy your fresh, crunchy Pocky.
Oh yeah:
what flavor pocky are you?

Heh, my gf got me strawberry Pocky a couple months ago. I'd never seen it or heard of it before.

Turns out I'm Green Tea pocky. Funny, I drink like 50 oz of green tea a day and 10 cups/days in equivalent extract.
My gf was Chocolate. Delicious!

When the puppies came along (about five weeks ago), I said that a cocker spaniel / shih-tzu mix would be funny looking.
I was wrong. Well, at least so far.

I have a Cocka-Shiht at home and he is just as cute. He also has more personality than any other dog I have ever met.

A Dream of Smoke and Sparks
Once upon a time, there were five distinctive national holidays in Australia.
Christmas, of course, the season of eating too much and spending too much. And heatwaves and bushfires.
New Year's Eve, when you got to stay up late (unless you fell asleep on your half-glass of champagne).
Easter. Chocolate! Easter Hat Parade! More chocolate!
Anzac Day, our national remembrance day. (We also observe Armistice Day, but it's not a holiday.)
And Fireworks Day. More formally, the Queen's Birthday (though it actually doesn't occur on her birthday). But to us kids, it meant fireworks. Not big fireworks off in the distance, but fireworks Dad brought home and set off himself. Right there in the garden, while you gathered around in your pyjamas and dressing gowns. Whoosh! Pop! And then off for some hot cocoa, because it's getting chilly by this time of year.
No more. Eighteen years ago the New South Wales state government decided that the people were too stupid to be allowed fireworks, and banned their sale. Miserable pissant nanny-state crapweasels.
I have a dream, a dream of smoke and sparks, a dream that one day we shall rise up and kick the bastards out and take back the right to accidentally burn our eyebrows off every so often.
Who's with me?

I am. I'll never forget watching my Dad scramble for his life as yet another firecracker burnt the grass on our front yard. You can't buy those memories.

Hehe, see this is why every nation needs a 2nd Amendment: to put the fear of the citizenry into the gov't.

Oh, and as a scarred and decorated veteran of many a teen fireworks war, I too am proud to enlist in your cause.

I'm with you. Sure I'm hiding behind a tree because I've been popped one to many times in the head by a misguided bottle rocket, but I'm with you.
So would I be breaking international laws if we accidentally shipped you a case or two of fireworks?

I'm with you. I believe in Social Darwinism, and i know that there is only ONE reason for the "DO NOT PLACE IN MOUTH" warning on fireworks.
(still have my original eyebrows, but victim to SEVERAL arm hair-ectomies via 'Fountains of sparks,' too young for the REAL McCoys. Oh, and Yes, you CAN hold in hand after lighting. Heck, in Japan, it's a rite of passage to manhood to hold onto huge fireworks till the bottom explodes out. Is it bad when the parenthetical is longer than the original comment?)

Yeah, I know. Miserable fuckers. We've had metal knives for 5000 years and stone ones for 30,000 years prior to that, and now they decide we're too dumb to handle them?

What were the ones that used to come in a tube about the size of a tennis-ball can. I seem to remember some idjits pointing them at each other (they had about five or six firework balls that came out one after another). One guy though he had fired all of his and put the tube down at which point the last one flew out and set his (long) hair on fire - spectacular actually.
