  • I had a similar problem. Mine was a gas heater. The little fan (induction motor?) shit out. AC guy who was always good to us and honest came out and sprayed WD-40 on it and said it’ll get you through the year, which it did, but it failed after that. He said it would be $800 to replace but I didn’t have it. Found a replacement on Amazon for $45 and watched a YouTube tutorial and fixed it no problem. Check that if it sounds like your problem and you’re handy or someone you know is. Saved me $750 and I never had an issue again.

    That little fan is what brings fresh air into the system because gas or whatever so if it fails the system will shut down because of safety.


















  • So for superhero type movies I actually like I’ll go with Unbreakable series. No CGI fest, just good characters and acting.

    Kill Bill I don’t have a good comparison because I’m not into that type of movie but for revenge style films I’ll say Old Boy, maybe Memento but that’s a weird one but still good IMO.

    The Crow was to cringe for me but I really liked Dark City which was equally cringe but pulled it off so much better with the same dark mystique of the crow.

    TV shows - I’ll argue to the death the Frasier is one the best written and acted series of all time and we will never get a show that clever again. I’ve watched it through 10+ times and every time I notice more small things that blow my mind about how well fleshed out these characters are. Same for Bojack horseman, that shit is pure genius. If you haven’t watched it do so immediately. Mr Robot was also an awesome show with tons of great acting and plot.

    Music, I admittedly don’t have the best taste in, I grew up in the punk scene but outside of punk my favorites are modest mouse, Primus, Rx Bandits, Incubus (older stuff) and others I can’t think of at the moment. Punk stuff my taste was mostly 90s skate type like Lagwagon, NOFX, strung out, propagandhi, bigwig. Some don’t consider Bracket punk, myself included, but they are deceivingly talented. Think folk-punk with a beach boys singing style, really good shit.

    Books are my main thing but I have horrible taste in those. I’m addicted to shitty sci-fi and litrpg even though I’m not a gamer.

    The Bobiverse by Dennis Taylor is one of my fav.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl series is fantastic for litrpg. Audiobooks all the way on those.

    Blindsight by Peter Watts

    Other authors I can’t go wrong with - Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, Exurb1a, Cixin Liu (prolly spelled that wrong), some of William Gibson stuff but not all, Dan Sugralinov (Russian litrpg), Greg Egan.

    I’ll gladly tell you more if you like. I’d gladly take your recommendations as well.



  • Any marvel movie. I just do not get the appeal. The only people who like it seem to like it way too much. Most of them are also grown ass children.

    Kill Bill. Boring as fuck.

    The Crow. I refuse to elaborate.

    Pretty much anything from Kevin Smith except Mallrats and even that I’ll admit was dumb but I liked it as a young teenager.

    Deadpool. Juvenile humor from the king of “I’m in a movie because I’m unbelievably charming”

    Not a movie (well maybe there is one?) but I absolutely hate The Trailer Park Boys. I just don’t get it. It’s not funny, at all. It’s not my thing at all. I’ve been hated on for this opinion but I don’t care, it sucks.

    On that same note, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Same reason tpb sucks to me.

    Lord of the rings. So boring.

    This thread is fun though. I enjoyed reading everyone’s opinions, especially those I disagree with.
