As someone who has watched less than an hour of anything on twitch, I guess I’m going to change my avoidance of the site from passive to active.

I don’t have any good ideas, but I have some bad ones.

Just looking through Amazon for replacement paddles for various bread machines. Many, but not all have a picture with some dimensions on it. If you can get some calipers or something to measure yours, perhaps you find something that way.

If you’ve friends with bread machines, ask them if you can try out their paddles to see if they fit.

Your idea of an electronics recycling center could be good too. I honestly haven’t been to one, so I don’t really know what you should expect there.

Good luck

I assume you, like me, did a search for the replacement part and found it “obsolete” and no longer sold anywhere online.

I am wondering if you could use a mixing paddle from a different machine. There is some variation between them, but at the end of the day, it’s not that complex of a part. Match the shaft size, shape, length, and make sure it fits in the machine.

Yes. This.

This video is absolutely worth the time it takes to watch it.

I have vitaligo. I’m just one person, but I wouldn’t care. Though, perhaps I’m not the best person to ask. Sometimes I forget about it until someone else makes an awkward comment. Personally, I think it’s kinda cool.

I used to say I was 5’ 15". The number of times people would say “no way, your at least 6 feet” or something similar is amazing.

Make friends with the guy. He’s got some some stories. True or not, he’s got some stories.

The only reason it is expanding is to keep up with inflation.

It sounds like you’re looking for slaves. There’s a reason slavery is illegal.

If this isn’t deliberately rage bait, there is something very wrong with you.

Is it the high gloss stuff, or the 80 grit option?

Technically only one Judy Bloom book, but your point still stands and I agree. It’s pretty bizarre.

I assumed age appropriate was regarding content not difficulty. It is still a weird thing to emphasize though.

I’m not sure Walmart counts as reality.

I bet the quality of this is also astronomical.

Having once upon a time overfilled my oil by almost a quart, I think you are mostly right.

Engine oil should stay in the crankcase. During normal operation, some of it is pumped elsewhere to lubricate the crankshaft, cams, and other mechanical components. The rest of the oil sloshes and splashes around the crankcase keeping everything slippery. If there is too much excess in the crankcase, components moving can push the oil somewhere it shouldn’t be.

In my case, when turning left, the excess oil was pushed passed the piston rings and burned in a huge cloud of blue smoke. It wasn’t a proud moment, but stopping in a random service station and having Bruce try to drain a quart of oil out of the engine, because I couldn’t afford a full oil change was awkward.

… Anyway: all of that to say this:

If you have too little, your oil pressure light will probably come on. If you have too much, you’ll notice it somewhere else.

What about phrasing it so the effort isn’t on you, but them?

“I’ve never really felt comfortable around [describe group]”. This way, the failure isn’t yours to get comfortable, but on them to mwake you comfortable.

Wow. Just wow.

I don’t really know what the legality of this is. The best explanation I can come up with is: Texas.

Last time I was in TX, one of my favorite food trucks had a sign that said “no longer excepting cash payments”. I laughed at the grammatical error, but was still a little sad about losing the option to pay with real money. It wasn’t hipster at all, but I guess the clientele was.

Anyway, yes. I see your point but a lot of places realize they have to get modern or fail. It makes me sad to think about.

Fun fact: the word “spaceman” was originally used to described a journalist who was paid by how much space they could fill. Quoting etymonline com: “journalist paid by the length of copy”.

It didn’t get used to describe a person from space until the the 1940s.
