I can't even remember the last time I saw an electric can opener.
For tough jars I use a butter knife or fork under the lid and pry it in several places until you hear the pressure pop. I think you can also run them under hot water, the metal lid will expand from the heat more than the glass jar, creating separation.

Thank you for the suggestions. If the electric jar opener is crap at least I'll have an alternative.

I do like the new lids on soups and such. Pop top lids instead of can opener is awesome.
tried and true; elbow grease. Finger strength varies results.

Haven't really planned one as the last few ones didn't have that great a response. Can do another one if there is interest

Edit

Apparently my brother is the more intelligent of the 2 of us. He tapped the jar on tbe floor all the way around and said now try.

I got it.

If a person was to fill up a few short boxes of things they’ll never miss, ie, dreck, how should they price a box? I’m talking making space, pure and simple.

I'm certain this has been brought up before and I just didn't see it -
Why, when reading these forums, does a page start with a few posts from the previous page? Not really a big deal, but it seems like it'd be a simple fix.

No. Currently I am saving for something else. I just thought others might be nostalgic over it.

I didn’t live during that era, but as former collector and current enthusiast; I can say with all due respect that the early video game pioneers are very lackluster. Some outliers across all eras will always be cool. I thank the rest for their service and leave them be. 😂

We had an Atari 2600 when they came out. I think it was a Christmas gift. We played Pong and Combat for ages. It felt like forever before any new titles were released.

Anybody have any clues about central AC?

The unit blows but not cold. Turn it off, for a few hours and it's fine again. Air handler is not frozen. Had the AC guy come out and he said the drain might have been clogged. But apparently that wasn't it. They will be back at 8.30am tomorrow morning

@Bronte just had the same problem three weeks ago, the outside unit fan stopped spinning. So the air condition stops blowing cold. (Blows but not cold) The culprit was a bad blower motor and module, needed to replace both… everything with labor was $880. Good luck

If it wasn't frozen up, it could be the compressor.

Our a/c was doing that last year. It turned out to be a bad capacitor. The first guy who came out said we needed an entirely new unit at 5k or more. So we had a second guy come out to look at it. He said it was just the capacitor. He replaced it, checked out the system, and put in new filters for only $125.
Hopefully you have an honest person who is working on it for you. Good luck 👍

I'll ask the guy tomorrow morning. Hopefully these questions might steer towards a viable solution that doesn't require selling personal grails

Agreed. It is a shame that accumulated suspensions come with a life sentence. It would be interesting to me to have an additional step prior to a perm ban. Have them issue a mea culpa for the rule violation for one last chance. @Jesse_O could start a new moderator's thread called "Last Chance Mea Culpa" for heartfelt apologies and acknowledgment of the rule violation if a person really wants to stay in the forum (with comments locked). It would probably remain empty but, the opportunity would exist.
