LOL! You still got a receipt? Has it been 30 days? GE might be a better brand for fridge but don't quote me on that. We bought GE washer/dryer 8 years ago and they are still going strong.

What model Samsung did you get? Mine is the RFG298HDRS

Mine would be less than half that size. Closer to 1/3 the size.

Well everything in America must be three times the size of everything in Australia, it's called the Manufacturing Rule of Three.

I don't remember seeing a variety of sizes when I bought mine. There were probably two dozens models and mostly they just varied in color from black, white or stainless. Truthfully, it is a much bigger fridge than one person needs but it leaves me plenty of shelf space for marinating meats and since I like to prepare most of my meals ahead of time, it's just easier to have more space.

This is the one I gotz: RF261BEAESR

I bought it during Black Friday sales at PC Richard for $1,067 tax included ($980 plus tax). Supposably, the fridge has an MSRP of $2,200. PC Richard currently sells it for $1,649.97. I suppose I got a good deal on it but I'm definitely concerned with the build quality. This fridge has really good reviews all over the internet (Best Buy, Amarzon, Google Reviews) but I don't know how long ago this fridge came out and if these reviews are from people who have owned it but not long enough to experience the same defect you experienced.

I'll keep you guys posted.

My Samsung has a badge on the inside left panel when you open the door, right near the ice machine that gives the model number and manufacturing year and your fridge looks identical to mine, only without the ice machine.

My badge/sticker in my fridge says it was built in November 2017. I suppose that's kinda good. It was built in the same month I purchased it so it wasn't just sitting around. Although, I did not take delivery of the fridge until February so I guess my observation is moot at this point. LOL

There is a version of my fridge with the water dispenser built in but I opted for the one without the water. I figured it would just be one more thing I have to fix if it breaks down on me.

My fridge does have an ice maker, though.

Yours is a bit bigger than mine. My kitchen is so tiny this was the only size that would fit.

Alright Joey, I can't let you continue to deal with this problem any longer. I will take it off your hands for $10, shipping included. No need to thank me.

Guys, your fridges are not smart fridges, are they? Those are just packed with unnecessary features that you just don't need.

Nope not a smart fridge, I didn't even know they existed until Jian Yang taught me about them.

When I glanced at this last night I thought you guys were talking about phones

I only use $30 burners.

Just saw this in my local news. It's only a few miles from me.

A woman was found dead Saturday, March 3, on a land parcel near Tamarack Lane on south Camano Island. She was discovered near a bunker dug into the hillside containing a cache of supplies, firearms and ammunition, the Island County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday afternoon.

Island County detectives and coroners joined the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab team to serve several search warrants on the wooded property, situated near the end of a quiet dirt road stretching south from Tamarack Lane.

Authorities recovered the body of a white female, who had been deceased for several days. Identity and cause of death is pending, but it appears to be a homicide, according to police. The victim appears to have been specifically targeted, police said.

No arrests have been made. Authorities said and they're developing leads on a person of interest in the case.

By late Monday afternoon, a handful of officials were on scene and could been seen investigating the property as at least one news helicopter circled overhead.

Damn, was she holed up in there trying to defend herself and was somehow tricked into coming out? Maybe she was starved out. Why didn't her killer take her guns and ammo? So many questions.

Wylde, can you go down there and see if you can get any information from the police?

I am familiar with the property they found her on and I didn't know anything was there other than trees. I don't really expect underground bunkers to be in open or wooded fields but at this point, I really should.

None of the neighbors knew anything and yet someone called 911 to report a body that otherwise wouldn't have been found, so her killer must have called 911.

I already spoke with police yesterday when a separate manhunt was launched all over my area looking for a missing mentally disabled man who was found a mile from my house huddled in a heavily wooded ravine area after 4 days. The cops were running K9 and helicopter units all over searching every outhouse, doghouse and farmhouse trying to figure where a scared, disabled man might go. He ended up being found safe, which is quite surprising considering cops were looking for him.

I was not expecting a murder investigation to be the next reason I saw more choppers in the air the next day.

LOL! That's what came to my mind when I asked about a smart fridge too. I've seen them in stores though, just waster more electricity for no reason. I think very few people probably even choose to go with them.

I only want my fridge to give me ice, not harass and try to murder me. People's obsession with all tech these days is frighting.

These "smart" refrigerators are ridiculous. They have a huge touchpad on them. You sync it to your phone and you can use it to look inside your refrigerator when you are at the grocery store to see what you need to buy. I'm sure it does more crazy shit, too, but I don't even care to know what else it can do.

"Let me check my phone while I'm in the grocery store. Ah, my milk is almost done. I'll get more."

It's freakin' ridiculous.

A hand written grocery list is about $4k cheaper than a camera in your fridge. I hate millenials so fucking much....

Here's an update from the murder near my house I posted about the other day.

Damn, that's messed up. Read another article which said Katherine Cunningham and Jacob Gonzales were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Hope they find the guy soon.

I hadn't heard they were in a relationship before but given the decapitation it makes sense as most horrific violence against women nearly always seems to be committed by their husbands or boyfriends.

I should have included the article I read (duh, me):

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/sheriff-body-found-near-camano-island-bunker-was-decapitated/

A woman who knows Gonzales and Cunningham described them as boyfriend and girlfriend originally from California. The woman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the couple lived with her family in an apartment in Stanwood for a brief time about 2 ½ years ago.

I have no idea if that woman is bullshitting or not but like you said and also from my knowledge of the Law and Order series, this murder with decapitation seems like it was personal. Like the person who killed her was angry and singled her out. The power of deduction!

So here is something fun.

My eBay account was somehow compromised. This asshole tried to purchase an EO Tech EXPS2-2 Holographic Sight for $539. Then he started e-bombing me.

He's an amateur.

He made the purchase first, then started e-bombing me. You're supposed to start the e-bomb and then make the purchase later in the hopes I would miss the legitimate email of the purchase.

I called PayPal first. They sorted me out. A cool English dude cancelled the payment and credited my account. I deleted my credit card and bank account from PayPal to be safe.

Then I called eBay and had to jump through a couple of hoops but support took care of me and deleted that asshole's mobile number from my eBay and I set up two-factor authentication.

Lesson learned. I'm so stupid. I should have set up two-factor authentication on my eBay account but I never did. I have checked all my payment methods and the only thing this asshole did was try to buy that $539 item.

I'm still getting e-bombed. I got about 4,000 random emails in the last four hours. He's signing me up for a lot of shit and sending random companies support tickets which say "Hello. And bye.". No purchases, thankfully.

Google says this e-bomb will stop after a while. I can't drop this email address as it would disrupt my personal and professional life.

Again, lesson learned. Always set up two-factor authentication. He will never get into my Gmail account because you need my phone to access it. Fuck this is annoying. Gonna go to bread and wake up to 10,000 more emails.


Edit: Yea, I'm setting up two-factor authentication for everything that uses it.

Rusty wrote:Damn. You should sue the NRA. Apparently when people do crimes that involve firearms and accessories, it's the NRA's fault.

I'm going to be suing eBay, PayPal, EO Tech, the school system, the mayor, the governor, and, now that you mention it, the NRA.

The emails are not stopping. I set up a few filters to automatically delete a huge number of emails being generated. Still getting shitloads of emails. The e-bomb is also fucking up the receipt of some emails. I got eBay and PayPal emails three hours after I sorted out the situation. The time sent on the email was three hours ago. Crazy.

I'm almost scared to go to bread because I don't want to deal with the mass amount of emails. I still have to sort through them to make sure there were no purchases made.


Oops. I just realized this post should have been in tge Random thread. My bad. Jeeeeeeeez. In my frustration I just posted in the last thread I had open.

Hey, Wylde, can you move my posts as well as Russ' posts about my account hijack to Off Topic?

Freakin' hell.....

Rusty wrote:LOL I didn't realise it either. I have every "new post" open in tabs, so it's something I'd also probably do some day

WyldeMan wrote:Isn't every thread here the random thread?

I have no idea how to move several individual posts, I only see the option for moving entire threads in my admin panel.

Is this somebody different from the issues you had a few weeks back?

LOL whoops, I just PM'ed you about this crap. HAR HAR HAR

I didn't have any accounts hijacked before. But I've got issues, that's for sure.

The emails have slowed but I expect them to ramp up again as the day goes on.

And it's weird you can't move individual posts. You supposably gotz da powerz. Suppwitdat???

Rusty wrote:Just copy your post in question, then paste it into a new reply in the random thread. Then come back to this thread, and delete the relevant post.

Easy peasy bosom squeezy.

ooooh shit. Damn, Russ. You improvising maddafakka. okay doing it now. BUt I think I'd like to leave my posts here. For posterity.

Out of an abundance of caution, i took a look at time zones in Australia because Russ is there. Sydney is 16 hours ahead of New York and Perth is 13 hours ahead. Of course, Wylde and Tyger should add three to those times as they are on the west coast of the States.

I was checking the data usage of my Amazon Fire Stick and note I have used over 200gb of data so far this month and it's only the 9th of March. I was told I don't have a data cap so I really hope they don't send me a letter telling me to chill.

This data check was also done out of an abundance of caution.

Is that from streaming? Doesn't Netflix burn like 3gb for every 1 hour of viewing?

Yes, it is from streaming. Whenever I'm home I have the TV on with something playing. If I'm not paying attention and I need white noise, I typically leave it on Cartoon Network or BBC. BBC has been playing tons of Planet Earth stuff lately.

And, typically, the TV only turns off when I go to bread.

You are correct about the 3GB per hour in HD. Standard definition stuff is 1GB per hour. This is according to Netflix website. I checked my usage and it is about right.

The reason I knew the Netflix usage offhand was because for years I couldn't have the service because my ISP offered no unlimited internet plans and only 100gb per month so 30 hours of netflix would have wiped out my entire monthly cap.

That's about the fourth time in the past few days you've spelt bed "bread".

Unless Bread is somewhere near you that you actually go

I don't believe Joey has spelled it "bed" in about six years, lol.

I think it's just humble way of telling us that he sleeps on a bed of money.

Nah, dawggy. I say "bread" in place of "bed" in real life. It's from The Simpsons - the episode where Lisa was left in charge and Bart refused to listen. It is the origin of this gif


I also really call Amazon "Amarzon" in real life.

Yea, I'm fucking weird.

I do wish I slept on a pile of cash. Scrooge McDuck that shit in a giant safe.

haha. I never noticed it until a couple days ago.

I've only ever watched about 5 Simpsons episodes in my life.

Ooooh dudes, I found the clip!


And then this happens




So my research tells me I have confused the episodes. The fight and the bread scent are two different episodes.

The bread scene is from "My Sister, My Sitter" and the fight is from "Lisa on Ice". Crud...

Every damn time I hear people booing I boo-urns. I haven't seen the show in 20 years but some moments are forever burned into my brain, like Ralphie's leprechaun friend who lives in the deep end of the sandbox and tells him to burn things.

Switched my mobile provider from AT&T to T-Mobile. Thus far, everything is okay. Internet is pretty fast and it feels like the reception in my house is much better than AT&T. Also, they are now paying for my Netflix. Word.
