Hot take: I always mocked people who listened to audiobooks, but trying one on a long drive converted me.

Wait, you actually used to mock people for it? That's wild to me. I get not being into them yourself, but making fun of someone for how they take in a story seems so pointless. It's not like they're hurting anyone. The whole point is the book, right? How you get the words in your head doesn't really matter. Just seems like a weird thing to judge people for before you even tried it yourself.

Can we talk about the waste from washing machines with sealed parts?

Dealt with a similar issue last year on my dryer, had to take the whole thing apart just to get at the drum. Ended up finding these sneaky clips under the control panel, totally missed them at first. Spent an hour cursing at the thing before I realized I was using the wrong screwdriver. Funny how the simplest tools can make or break a repair job. Those forums saved my skin though, someone posted a video showing exactly where to press to release the tabs.

My governor cable scare last Tuesday

Man, that's terrifying. Honestly though, if you're just doing a visual look-over, you're gonna miss stuff. You gotta get your hands on it. I flex the cable hard near the governor arm and the carburethrottle, feeling for any gritty spots or stiffness. A visual check won't catch the internal strands starting to fray.
