this one isn't even really a good one at all tho lol

not bad just not good

in franglais almost like a good grip :P (idk why my brain is so silly w/language ubt it isssss)

i lvoe it

blunderthots (me)

tbc even the first point it's not the case that EEAAO is just thunderbolts in ANY sense it has so much more

one can be a bit of a rip off of the other and not at all vice versa like,,, obvs?

at least not before getting a few quotes

if we get a few quotes and they all come out way higher than replacement, that's different! but so far it's been one phone call w/only the original manufacturer and no notes of any sort taken

it is not likely to help w/him

he hates to be reminded of the ways anything is infeasible, but loves to tell others things are

they don't see pruning constraints as focusing but rather just more sign things are pervasively hopeless

wasn't always this way

but yea, i agree it's not a great idea

being out of work and ONLY around my mom with her particular flavor of anxiety has totally wrecked his ability to cope, bcz he used to know how to handle this shit bcz it was part of his professional life, and that social reality grounded him

great! i’ll get on it monday, let them know we can wait a bit.

hopefully dad manages to a bit, he’s looking into another used one rn and i’m just like WHOAAAAA whoaaa calm down there this sucks but we can handle it

one aspect is unclear here, is it expected one pays for the time checking it out in person pre-quote?

this helps so much tho already

i prefer the powdered variety myself!

seems to in fact totally wrong that we could get a new one cheaper

just my dad thinking everything is fucking hopeless

but like!!!

i have said i can help raise money!!!!!

which i will soon do if they agree to allowing the repair if i get it!
