Have you figured out what they're calling the socket type for the bulb? That would be the first place to start IMO.

edit: Relatively recent commentary on the subject....

Hey plumbers or someone smarter than me!
Replacing a clothes washer/dryer and I ask this.......
I want to re use the water hoses but replace the rubber hose(braided) washers, good idea?


please and thanks
Confused. You meant reuse the out going hose but replace the incoming braided hoses? I'm not a plumber but for sure the incoming lines were replaced when the installer put in my replacement washer. Since it's rubber hose, they would age crack regardless. May as well replace all 3 (hot/cold incoming + outgoing) while you have the unit out.

are there LED replacement bulbs for those floor standing halogen lamps? my Google-fu is only finding replacements for ceiling spot lighting and such. :p
You mean replacement for these type of bulb? I believe these are T3 bulbs and I have replace mine with Philips LED ones in my bathroom. But I can't seem to find them currently and Philips Canada website don't show them. IIRC, I got them from Amazon and they weren't cheap.

I meant to respond to this, but forgot....

Pretty much standard to replace the inlet hoses when you replace your washer. They're not crazy expensive, and when/if your older ones fail they make a hell of a mess.

I believe the last time I had a washer installed hookup and removal was included, but they required new hoses for the service.

Mouse subscription anyone?
What's next, breathable air subscriptions?

I could only see a sub like that being remotely, and I mean remotely, attractive if the mouse was free (I don't think the article said it would be). Even then, I'd just buy a new mouse rather than paying a sub long term... that's a weird one for sure. If they put their software updates behind a sub, I'd move to another brand likely.

She was a group president at Unilever for one division. The company spiel about her mentions 'stakeholders' but doesn't mention anything about 'mouse holders' though - that's us 😁 I wonder if it uses ink?

“[She] will continue to drive the innovation Logitech is known for, and advance the company’s unique culture, to unlock Logitech’s full potential for long-term growth and increased value for all our stakeholders."

You can get a 'subscription' for canned oxygen and with all the forest fire smoke and air pollution...
