  • 4 times in the last 5 years.

    There’s a combination of flaws. The strainer basket doesn’t do a very good job keeping debris out of the impeller. There’s little separation between the steainer and the impeller. So long hairs that are partially caught in the strainer can still wrap around the impeller.

    The pump itself has a terrible impeller design. The impeller is nylon and is press fit onto a 1/8 brass rod that just has a flat ground on it, no knurling or splines. The nylon cracks easily and ends up free spinning.

    They use the same pump in loads of washer models. So yes, there’s a very large user base, but that’s a lot of people with part failures. The pump is garbage and lg should not be using it.














  • I have a friend who works for a car dealership. One of the old farts in charge got suckered into buying an AI phone receptionist service. The thing never connects people to the right department even when asking specifically by name. A car dealership cannot afford to have customers getting turned away by a poorly functioning ai phone service.

    Ai has become the newest excuse for borderline conmen to sell expensive services to administration that doesn’t know to carefully check claims before buying something.


  • The threat of lawsuit is usually enough to get an employment offer rescinded. It’s rare for a company to want to take on a legal defense just to hire someone new. Even though they weren’t actually legally binding, non-competes still limited options for a lot of people.

    Overall I agree with you that this isn’t as big of a deal as people make it sound, but it’s easy underestimate their influence if only looking at the result of cases that go to trial. In many situations, the damage is done well before a case can go to trial.
