Drain pump on washing machine making horrible rattling/grinding noise. No water draining from machine.
Siphoned off water, not too much mess. Found a dime, a peso, some weed-whacker string, some carpet string in the reservoir before the pump. Coins look ancient!

Bench tested the pump. Ran smooth!

Re-installed, started a cycle and the thing is rattling/grinding just as loud. No water draining. :( But hey, a dime and a peso!

Sounds like there is a clog upstream and the rattling is just the impeller, assuming you bench tested it wet.

I just mean if a well trained dog can make a decent appetizer from boxed pasta, a goon probably can. It's hard for dogs to shape pasta balls with its paws and also the dog tends to eat a lot of the pasta during the process and people tend to ask a lot of uncomfortable questions if they see the dog making them or if they find out later that the dog made them. Mostly I think they are jealous of the dog.

I tested it dry. Just applied AC for about 5 seconds, two different times. Seemed to whir along fine. I can see how it it might seem fine with no load on it now that I think about it. The hose from the main compartment is pretty big diameter, but the thing is 18+ years old. Who knows what is in there. I'll prod around there on the next go. Thanks!

That's weird, I would check the downstream pipe too. Good luck. Washing machines are a bitch, mine is apart until I order another control panel from ElectroLux/Frigidaire. Baking the control panel in the oven worked, but not permanently.

Next time you make pasta like that don't eat it.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "But BBC I need that pasta it's fine, it's good as a side it's ok, it-" No. I don't like it.
Take the pasta and put it into a tupperware container or a bowl or an old sock that you found it's fine. Put it in the fridge and let it get cold like leftovers except it's not leftovers because it's not really leftover, it's still first...overs or whatever.
Anyway after it's cold and firm get a scoop or make your hands into a scoop shape and roll the pasta up into ball shapes like little pasta turds. Gross. then dunk them quickly into a whisked egg or two that you have in another bowl. You need to have that I forgot that I'm sorry.
Once they come out then roll them in some breadcrumbs that you forgot you had for making meatloaf.
Then put your noodle poop into your air fryer and now you have deep fried mac and cheese balls to suck on. You can dip them in sauces or just eat them plain with your hands or if they got too well done maybe play beer pong with them I dunno.
They should look like this. A boxer made these in his air fryer you can do it in yours if he can.

Any of you guys use a safety razor?

I just got one because buying gillette blades is crazy expensive (like 4 dollars a blade) and this safety razor you can get 100 blades for 5 dollars.

It seems to work great, but my oldest daughter has confiscated it for her personal use. So I'm going to buy another one.

There's a whole mega thread over in YLLS on safety razors. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3523526#post410702789

And that reason is because cartridge razors are more convenient and require less effort, not because safety razors were bad because they're not at all. My grandpa used a safety razor for his whole life and he had the closest shave I've ever seen.

I'm still waiting on him to give us the reason. Because after 20 years of using cartridges I can't think of a reason not to use a safety razor other than you like paying a lot of money.

I love my Mach3 out of convenience, laziness, and because the pricing isn't that bad as long as I wait for sales (unlike the stupidly expensive gimmicky newer Gillette stuff), but I'll admit it's straight up inferior to safety razors.

My facial hair is pretty uncooperative and no cartridge razor can tame it without razorburn. I use a Mühle R41 now and it's goddamn amazing, just a satisfying close shave in 2 passes. I tried the feather starter safety razor years ago and it was the worst, but this one has a much more aggressive blade angle and a wide open comb so it performs exactly the same versus a week's stubble. It changed my life you could say.

Given the sharpening kick I've been thinking about straight razors.....

olives black's Hamburger and Rice

1 lb 90/10 hamburger (this is important - most of the fat should come from the olive oil)
2 bundles of green onions (these usually come in little bundles of 6-8 individual sprigs in US supermarkets)
1 cup white rice (cook it in a steamer beforehand)
Bragg's Liquid Aminos
cayenne pepper
extra virgin olive oil

1. chop green onions
2. put hamburger in pan on medium heat and chop the everloving poo poo out of it with a proper steel turner/spatula (preferably a turner since they're the only food-pushy-aroundy tool worth a poo poo)
3. Squirt some aminos into the pan once the hamburger is half-cooked
4. put the onions in and cook them until they're a little soft (the hamburger should also be done at this point)
5. spoon some of it onto some rice and mix it in with a fork/hand/genitals
6. drizzle some olive oil, some more aminos and some cayenne pepper onto it and mix again
7. put it in your face
8. marvel at how loving useless most of your spice rack is now that you've eaten the tastiest rice/protein meal that you will ever taste
9. seriously, every batch of stir fry more complicated rice and meat dishes that I've ever eaten has sucked poo poo compared to this. you got the salt, you got the fat, you got the spicyness

Anyone else killing time and pretending they are going to the mall by buying unnecessary poo poo online?

This week I've bought:

3 seasons of a programme I've already watched
A dashcam for the car I am not driving
SD card for a camera that I am not using to take photos
Yet another watch to sit on the shelf with my other unused watches

I almost bought another phone, despite being confined to a space where I am not more 4 feet from a laptop, pc or tablet.
