He bought this stove new in 2005, and its been his favorite ever since. But he told me “Its just not burning the same, I think I need a new stove, but they are over $3,000 now”
I told him he is crazy, there is no difference in any “F series” Jotuls that were made between 2001-2020, all the part numbers, design, and functions of each stove model are exactly the same.
So he brought the stove over to me. I completely disassembled the stove, cleaned and inspected all the parts, replaced a couple small parts, some new hardware, and fresh paint. Now it is restored right back to factory show-room new.
He is very happy with the outcome. He says it looks better than new and doubted it was the same stove!
Its now ready to burn like new for another 15 years, at less than HALF of what he would have paid for a brand new stove.
We have been so conditioned in America to just “buy new”.
Break the cycle and reach out to me, and I will make your Jotul burn and look like new again!
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
LMAO Bruce is disgusted at the thought of getting magical powers to accomplish their mission, he will never stoop so low, don't be ridi--
Dick Grayson, two feet away, hand literally waving in the air: OOOH GIVE ME THE MAGICAL POWERS GIVE THEM TO ME I WILL TOTALLY TAKE THE MAGICAL POWERS
Just. The conflict between:
Bruce's refusal to ever accept magical powers because they're not his own, because he couldn't rely on them as part of what he'd created on his own, because he hates magic and the nonsense it brings with it
VERSUS
His gremlin child who has so many of the same skills as he does, has the same reasons to mistrust using magic as a crutch, who has learned all the same fighting and detective skills Batman has, who is Batman But Better, immediately going hell yes I will take the magical powers GIMME
Is the funniest thing in the world. Bruce would scream into the void if he had the time to spare, how can everything he stand for be so betrayed by this kid that he loves so much?? WHY IS HE LIKE THIS??? AGONY.

TIL AFTER THE US JOINED WWI THERE WAS A TREND TO RENAME SAUERKRAUT LIBERTY CABBAGE GUYS THE FREEDOM FRIES ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL THIS SHOULDN'T BE FUNNY WHY IS IT FUNNY.
DC Twitter must have been INSANE when it got out that Superboy’s dads were Superman and Lex Luthor. Holy shit. The memes. The ship wars. The homophobes. The mpreg jokes. People would have lost their fucking minds. Lex Luthor releases a statement like “he’s a clone of me and Superman no birth was involved” and people are like KINDA GAY OF YOU TO HAVE A SON WITH ANOTHER MAN, LUTHOR. Lexcorp’s PR team locks themselves in a conference room and refuses to come out for love or money.
