    - Sorry, I listened to a little bit of Fox News last night and learned that democrats like to divide the country because we acknowledge ethnicity. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:48 4

WWE Hall of Famer Luscious Johnny Valiant dies after being hit by a car (nmbl) - Brian Apr 5, 08:03
It is strangely difficult to find a 27" deep gas dryer today. I don't remember having this trouble like 9 years ago when we bought ours. Also, - just oblique Apr 5, 08:02 29

  - A cow. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:33
- I'm curious. What are the benefits of a gas dryer as opposed to electric? -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 08:24 11
  - Generally speaking it is much cheaper to operate -- (link) - just oblique Apr 5, 08:27 10
    - We’re considering converting to gas when we redo our kitchen and laundry room. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 08:35 5
      - when I get a new furnace I will. running the line will cost $4k. -- nm - amanda Apr 5, 08:41 4
        
        Oh, gas *heat* for sure. Just saying switching your laundry over may not really be that cost effective. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:43 3
        
        that $4k is the discount price if I have four gas appliances in my house. so I will have to get dryer, stove, fireplace as well. -- nm - amanda Apr 5, 09:23
        
        Yeah, not sure about switching being better but we've always had the gas hookup so... -- nm - just oblique Apr 5, 08:48
        
        We want to switch to a gas cooktop in the kitchen as well, so it depends on how much it will cost to run the line to the back of the house for that. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 5, 08:47
    - Thank you. Gas dryers just seem so rare that I wondered what benefits they might have. - crash davis Apr 5, 08:31 2
      - I've only ever had gas dryers -- nm - decline Apr 5, 08:35 1
        
        ah, perhaps they are more common back east - here in the hydro-powered west, they seem rare -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 08:38
    - ... if you have the hook-up and the dryer. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:31
- are they all bigger now? -- nm - decline Apr 5, 08:05 10
  - For the most part, yes. It is more that the selection is super limited. Like 1 or 2 models total. -- nm - just oblique Apr 5, 08:08 9
    - you should just make your laundry room bigger -- nm - decline Apr 5, 08:09
    - As opposed to... what? - Spawn Apr 5, 08:08 7
      - Might even be worse. I was just going off what a website said. Now looking at other specs (I need to measure it), it might be as small as 25" -- nm - just oblique Apr 5, 08:12 6
        
        In my lifetime I have purchased four dryers. - Spawn Apr 5, 08:13 5
        
        We have a very small laundry space in our house unfortunately -- nm - just oblique Apr 5, 08:14 1
        
        a sledgehammer will fix that -- nm - decline Apr 5, 08:16
        
        what the heck have you been trying to dry? - decline Apr 5, 08:13 2
        
        heh. I don't move laundry equipment. I buy a new house, I sell the old with the house and buy a new washer and dryer. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:20 1
        
        Yeah, we're probably moving within 5 years so I'm guessing I'll just have this one serviced. -- nm - just oblique Apr 5, 08:23
Speaking of Drs, this sucks. My PCP for the last 12 years is changing his practice to a 'VIP' service. If you want to see him you have to pay $1600/yr - decline Apr 5, 08:02 3
- Sounds like they're gearing up to retire. "Let's milk some people on the way out" -- nm - just oblique Apr 5, 09:25
- I have had the same PCP since I was 8. I always feel like he is in a hurry to get out of the office asap. - groiny Apr 5, 09:04
