Just went through this with a 4.5 year old Whirlpool washer. The bearing was in the gear case and that part cost about half of what I paid for the washer, so I had to replace the washer.

I think the question is, does buying better ice cream or wine motivate you to consume more or less? If the latter, spend more on better.
What if it's the former?

Yeah, they're not supposed to do that. Your wife is entitled to a six month guaranteed issue period around her age 65, no if ands or buts. Was this offered through an agent?

The title "software engineer" has always been controversial but nevertheless is used widely, even by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Some states regulate the use of the term "engineer".

Many computer science degrees are granted from the school of engineering.
