I didn't watch, but I saw it was being promoted on Netflix and I don't think it was an additional fee if I did want to watch it.

we need our couch cleaned. it's in bad shape.

instead of calling someone like coit, has anyone ever tried one of those Rug Doctor machiens from the grocery store? Are they any good?

Or if you have other ideas? Like a decent priced appliance from amazon?

Never done this before. Advice welcome.

did you JD Vance your couch?

more seriously, i tried to clean our old WHITE cloth sofa circa 2008 when we moved into our new place. It was full of dog piss stains on the sofa covers. We always cover the sofa with a piece of cloth but it didnt always work. Anyways so the sofa was pretty decent condition except for the piss stains, so i didnt really want to get rid of it. I hired a bunch of cleaners, all useless. Tried to take the cushions to a dry cleaner. useless. Ended up just throwing out the cushions and getting new ones from the Foam Store and custom-made cushion covers.

^^ would that even work on a sofa? those cleaners are like big heavy vacuums, they need a flat surface to put their weight onto for the suction to actually be effective, otherwise they will just wet your stuff and not suck it back out.

i would maybe try one of those pet vacuums, like the Bissell ones. basically it just sprays soap and then vacuums with a small flat fan shaped head. it doesn't agitate much though, it mostly just sprays and then immediately vacuums. of course you could use some of the brush attachments to do a better job manually. i've seen automotive guys use things like drills with brush heads to work soap into fabric seats. the only downside of getting your stuff quite wet/soapy is that no amount of suction will ever get it back out, and you'll have to really try to dry it out quickly with fans otherwise it will probably be damp in the middle which is not good.

Love isn’t objective and it sure as shit isn’t a business.
Yeah, but I couldn't be compatible with someone who is that nearsighted. It's not like she had some massive medical bill or got unlucky with a property investment. She partied for four years spending her future husbands money to get a degree that at best got her a gig as a PA for some exec. Screw that.

I agree, money (especially when you're young) doesn't matter when compared to compatibility. But that's a down payment on a house you're now missing. What's next?

I wish my gf would do the same, it’s really hamstringing a lot of things for her.

She won’t believe that ChatGPT literally tells you how to do it and film out the forms for basically free too… she wants to hire a lawyer for $10k+

The one my inlaws own has a handheld nozzle you can pull out of it and use. It worked great on seats in cars, I was pulling out stains I didn't even know were there out after a mouse briefly got into one of our cars.

Weren’t all these boomers the ones always telling us “if it’s too good to be true…” all the time?

I don’t know how their banks let them do this shit too, my bank ran me through the absolute ringer because the money I paid for my Mercedes was going to a numbered company and even after they phoned the Mercedes dealership they were still skeptical and the bank manager even asked me a month later if I actually got my car lol

Everything on FB and IG is a scam now, which is kinda sad, I legit see a lot of products that I would be interested in. I feel like if you were a smart company/factory in China with an eye toward quality, you could make quite a lucrative business just looking at FB/IG ads and actually building a quality version of the AI generated shit they try to sell people on there... like genuinely good ideas or cool products but you know you're getting the worst possible rendition of it if you actually buy.

I also read the other day that META has quietly decided to eliminate fact checking of any sort, either internally as a process or externally as suggestions on ads. It's basically open season for liars and scammers now.

ok i've had this happen many times but i never really questioned it that much, but how do seat assignments work on airplanes?

when you buy the ticket months in advance, you pick your seats, but then when check-in time comes your seats have changed. does this mean someone else who wants to pay for your seats has priority to bump you out of them? it doesnt seem like the plane has changed or anything to force a seat change...

this morning was our 48h check-in and our seats were changed, so we paid for exit aisle seats, although the original seats were the ones in the back of the plane that were only 2 abreast and were free at the time.

I think it depends on what “class” you booked your initial fare, also if you are elite status or not. If you are in the cheapest tier, i think people can bump you out of them as you didnt pay for it yet.

So i always book flex (2nd cheapest) with air canada so that includes seat selection and baggage. If you book the cheapest option then all your seat selection and baggage is extra.
Also, because youre in flex, you get a higher priority for upgrades vs people who are on base. Latitude (highest tier, includes free cancellations) is even better than flex but sometimes its not worth its often the same price as the lowest premium economy seats.

yeah i almost never pay extra for seats unless its like under $100 or so, but this time they tried to give us 2 shitty seats so i forked out a bunch extra to get emergency aisle ones... 13hr flight, its gonna be worth it.

Never done this before. Advice welcome.

We have a Bisell Spotcleann machine that does that. I think it’s a good machine to invest in. It’s not even a lot of money (1xx) and if you have kids or pets, and a sofa that’s not leather or carpets, it’s a machine that I’d want in my arsenal.

It cleans fairly well. Of course, don’t expect miracles for something really tough. But for kids spills and whatnot, we have had pretty good success so far and we do a all around cleaning once a month or two with the same machine and it keeps the sofa in nice shape and smelling clean.

I tried to do a couch with the Bissel / Shark tiny machines, I don't recommend it because you will get a far worse clean than with a professional machine.

The rug/couch cleaners you call will inject steam and cleaning stuff AND extract it at the same time for a deep clean. The ones you buy you just kind of spray the stuff, have to scrub it yourself (no steam), and pray the tiny thing extracts the stuff.

Bisell also does that (push solution and then vacuum it off). I believe they all work on the same principle. Just maybe the rentals would be more powerful.

Talking about steam though, that’s another machine that one should have as well. Some tough baked on sauce on the sofa/carpet? You ain’t doing shit with Bisell. Needs to steam it before.
