I always thought it was just designed that way to make room. Not that a grown man would use it to piss out of.

Do you know what went out on it? It might not be as expensive a repair as you think.

You can go crazy with anything. Anything can become a hobby if you care enough. That, ChrisFix! guy made a lot of money showing how to clean a car and do basic car maintenance.

If I ever notice I'm becoming too OCD about a certain particular topic, then I change to something more productive. There's a point of diminishing returns on most things.

You’ve got the right idea.

Preparation is everything. Having everything on hand will save you frustration. And being patient enough to wait for it to be fully dried before sanding will make it easier.

Applying extra coats and smoothing out the edges will make for a nice finish.

Just take your time.

My whirlpool ice maker went out last week

---

I went through a similar issue.

The water dispenser had low pressure. "Fine," I thought. I'll change out the water filter. Didn't make a difference.

Took the water filter out, and water pressure was good.

Put it back in and it was low again.

"Hmmm..."

I noticed the ice maker wasn't working very well either. Would freeze over, or not produce ice at all.

First, I changed the inlet valve. (Wasn't it.)
Then, I changed out the ice maker with a new wire harness. (Started working.)
Water dispenser still had bad pressure.

So apparently it was 2 different issues.

Started looking on youtube and someone pointed out that the water filter holder dealy has these little valves that need to be fully depressed to allow enough flow.

Bought a new water filter housing. (Very easy and quick replacement.)

Started working great again.

TL;DR: Though it can be a pain, it is fixable. Just have to figure out the real problem.

Went swimming on a cloudy day about 30 years ago. Was still in great shape and swam all the time. Thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Got about 50 yards from the beach (Nags Head, NC) and could not make it back. Recognized that I was in a riptide and started swimming as hard as I could along the shore. After I don't know how long had passed (probably only about 20-30 minutes) I finally made it to shore. Was exhausted. Learned my lesson after that, and paid attention to the signs.

However, the A6700 with the 18-135

That’s a great recommendation btw. I can’t argue with your reasoning.

That being said, I agree with your follow up advice on the 6400.

I debated even going with a more traditional Sony camcorder, because of the ergonomics and the built in lens is pretty good.

Probably.

Men have always vied for the attention of women.

The thing is that feminism has conflated, empowerment, with belligerence. While there is "some" truth to that, they rarely have to face the consequences of their behavior. This is also true of beta men. They are quick to run their mouth, but have never had to back it up in a confrontation.

So what you have is a breed of women that believe they are hot shite, boss babes that can tell people what to do without being put in their place. They are insulated by western value that they have largely eschewed for their own use and abuse.

One thing I know from history: Eventually, society will have enough of their shite.

Could write an essay on it, but the TL;DR is: Feminist brain rot.
