guy #3 looks good
someone needs to tell the guy #4 that his cut looks extremely far from solid
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Found solenoid for $40

Suspect it might not be the problem. Might be the oring.

Turns out, the Solenoid is fine. Tested both.

2x leaks

The inlet copper tube from the wall has a bad O-ring.

The water dispense hose was fine.

The ice maker hose cracked where the u bend is coming out of the outlet of the solenoid.

Oring seems to be the same size as garden hose rings.

Cut the cracked segment of the tubing, luckily there's enough slack to just reinsert the little strain-relief spring thingie, and screw it back into the solenoid.

You gotta let your pants hang down low enough to expose a slight amount of backside.

They pay spot price, $20-40 per ic, 8 ic per stick of ram, they don't get the big purchase contract deal like the big-boys.

That's how you get $400 for 32gb. The guy making sticks arn't making any more money than before, in fact they're making less because of DEMAND-Destruction, a lesser dealt with economic principle.

It's like if you're China, and you buy Oil, you might be able to get $100-150 per barrel, anyone else, they pay $150-250 per barrel.

We saw this during the great-depression where even many commodity producers couldn't turn a profit, as people couldn't afford them.

Has been happening for years, but why?

You want to delete something - so you highlight the part you want to get rid of, say some text, for example the last half of a sentence. When you press the Delete key - poof - the  OTHER  part is deleted, the first half.

Who decides to the delete the part you wanted to save, and vice versa?

Does this happen far too often for everybody?
