Oh my god G. Common sense is lost on him. You'll make his head explode. Which is a part of Russia's problem going forward.

The current Russian 'brain drain' of academic, finance, and tech workers 'might be the most important problem' for its economy, experts say

Looks like the two other resident dumb shit knuckleheads ran out of dumb shit to say in the other threads too.

Ukraine’s population of around 40 million is around 40 times larger than Chechnya’s and 20 times that of the Crimean peninsula. The second largest country in Europe by area (after Russia), it will be a very expensive place in which to sustain an occupation.

Today, although Russian losses are a military secret, Ukrainian estimates put the material cost to Putin from the destruction of tanks, planes and weapons at around US$5 billion for just the first two days of the war.

The damage is done. The Russians face an economic point of no return. The very bleak economic warning clouds gathering over Russia will only matter to a leader who cares about the long-term impact of the war on his fellow citizens. Putin does not.

The Ukrainian special forces announced it will not spare Russian troops in response to the brutal shelling of civilians.

Imagine a future where so-called Democrats pile on and tell you that you should just fill up a landfill and buy more disposable, non-biodegradable shit made in China rather than fix it and keep it working.

Oh. You don't have to imagine that. The future is now. It's right in this thread.

Yep. You just did that:

6: "They REALLY wanted me to just buy a new coffee pot when their piece of shit broke. And unfortunately, being the caffeine addict that I am, it wasn't very long before I did just that."

You're a Democrat?

What makes you think "they" - the coffee makers - would build in obsolescence and assume you would buy another one of THEIR coffee makers? Wouldn't making a pos make you buy someone elses?

All 6’s posts show a lack of critical thinking skills. All his posts show he doesn’t possess background information beyond that which allows for anything but an emotional knee jerk response. Nor does he post any comments that show he possesses knowledge of a topic beyond knowing the name of the topic.

His posts are on par with a 13 year old bully. Apparently, for unknown reasons along with his alcohol consumption, his mental growth was stunted at that age. Which means what? It means he is a troll and nothing else. Clearly his alcohol consumption has deteriorated his brain. Lord knows we’ve suffered through years of his active drinking. Only he knows if he is still sober, but I believe that is in doubt. It’s unfortunate he staggered onto our firefly site.

Yeah. I DID do that. After discovering that there were one-way screws set in so deep that it would be impossible to open without breaking it. Screws that any one of you idiots are going to pretend to know existed before I posted about them in this thread, but screws that none of you knew existed before this thread.

Also, after dealing with this problem with the coffee maker getting progressively worse until it got to that state. This didn't happen overnight.

If I could have fixed it I would.

That same year, I was under my mid nineties Toyota with a metal blade on a reciprocal saw, hacking off the rusted out flex mesh and then having a guy weld a new one on. A mid-90's Toyota that still only has 170,000 miles on it. A mid-90's Toyota that I'll be working on again this year because even though it drives fine the check engine light is on again.

No. I'm talking about the three of you coming in here and trying to shame me for attempting to fix a coffee pot rather than buy a new one.

Because EVERYBODY puts planned obsolescence into their products in our throw-away economy. Also because of the one-way screws. That is the ONLY reason for one-way screws.

Even Apple does it now, but instead of one-way screws, they now fill every cubic inch of air space in their products with epoxy.

It will, and DID make somebody like me buy somebody else's piece of shit. There will never be another Hamilton Beach coffee maker in my house.

But from the replies in this thread, it's obvious that none of you would care.

Now we get to see if Mr. Coffee has one-way screws when I attempt to open this one up.
