Feel your pain, that exact thing happened to my old Canon.

My old Delta contractor saw fence would shift a quarter millimeter if you breathed on it wrong. I finally gave up and just clamp a block to the table now.

Gotta push back a little here. I mean yeah phoenix_burns28, that's a bad story, but sometimes the rules are just red tape. Not every little thing needs a permit, right?

My buddy's dad still uses the same lawnmower from the 80s. He just changes the oil and sharpens the blade. Thing starts on the first pull every spring. Meanwhile, my new mower's plastic handle cracked in two seasons. Makes you wonder what changed in how they make things.

Keeping broken appliances just adds clutter and takes up space. New models are more energy efficient and safer than old repaired ones. Spending money to fix something that already failed once is a waste when you could put that toward a reliable replacement. Having a backup coffee maker seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't need to exist.
