7. OMG!
:spray:

But do you LOVE your fucking steaks? I mean, absolutely love em? Maybe THAT is why you're so fucking smart. Genius, really. Not that it matters in the scheme of things. Still, it's worth repeating, over and over and over. Everyone else here is not as logical as you. They can fuck off. Why don't you go get a crisp garden salad with tomatoes, which are LITERALLY like candy, to geniuses, that is.

:rofl:

8. I do love my steaks, my SUV, and my Walmart.
I love dressing down minimum-wage gas station attendants when they don't have my specific grade of gas...FUCK them!

And I'm more liberal and much more intelligent than you. So :P

13. Seriously, might be some mineral build up
Run some white vinegar through it a couple times to clean it out. DO make sure and run water through a couple times afterward before you make coffee again

Cool and save the vinegar from the coffee maker cleaning project. Add to a bucket of water for scrubbing floors. Is good disinfectant without a lot of dangerous, bad for the pets chemicals.

15. Its the automotic switch
that controls the hot plate. It is attached to a thermostat so that it turns itself on and off automatically, hence the click.

This is assumption on my part - not technical knowledge - it just seems the most likely explanation as EVERY coffee pot I have ever owned has done the same thing.
