I don't know the answer, just commenting for engagement, I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in with something helpful to get you going in the right direction!

You might also see if there's an active DIY or repair comm to crosspost to :)

0) look for disassembly videos of your specific washer/model number. You might even find videos with the same symptoms.
1) Taake it apart and take lots of pictures of everything as you take it apart so you can put it back together.
2) Look for signs of a damaged part.
3) Use Google image search or identify product markings/part numbers/model numbers and see if you can buy the part.
3.5) Post pictures asking to identify the part if all else fails.

4) Assume and plan that if you take it apart, you might need to buy a replacement washer. Plan accordingly.

Yep.

Are Y'all with the Cult?

Are Y'all with the Cult? is a memorable line uttered by Hank Hill in season 6 of the American animated comedy series King of the Hill.

“Yall are in a cult, and it is TESCREAL.”

So I know you were going for a snappy summary, but I think one of the important things to note is that the TESCREAL essay doesn't call them a singular cult, it draws connections between the letters of the acronym including inspirations, people in multiple letters of the acronym, common terminology, common ideological assumptions, and such.

I think a hypothetical more mature rationalist movement would acknowledge their historical and current influences and think critically about how they relate to them instead of just going nuh-uh. Like the relatively more reasonable EAs occasionally point out problematic trends in their movement and at least try to address them (not particularly effectually, but at least they aren't all in total denial).

Is it offered as an eBook anywhere in a non-DRM format?

Currently reading Missing Mermaid, excited to see you've written more and even about bicycling!

Also very cool pic. Hadn't been to a mass in a while

well, it depends on the culture of the commune but let's skip this and i'll just focus on commune as a tool

if it's used as a tool for escapism, good but it will never scale and ''everyone should be in one'' it's just impossible

if, like i dream, it's used as a tool to offload work of a group of people to allow them to make better politics because being much more resilient to capital swings, cool af u.u

obviously it's not binary and what i described it's not even a model with 2 opposites, but i wanted to focus on these cases

weird in betweens like project kamp are very interesting but I still think they focus too much on the being indipendent rather than using the commune as a tool for "greater" scope.

They never last because people change and when you get old enough, it becomes impossible to contribute a “fair share” of effort and generally the people who have been there for years didn’t save up enough money to survive outside of the commune.

Community is however a viable option and is much easier to join and leave

I dated a guy who spent part of his childhood on [The Farm](The Farm (Tennessee) - Wikipedia share.google/Qygnr43R6gFX23nd6) in Tennessee in the '80s, where his mother was a nurse. He said it was like Lord of the Flies, just herds of unsupervised little kids doing whatever they pleased 24/7, and I mean way beyond the latchkey kid stereotype of unsupervised kids, which I was in the '80s myself. He hated it because there were no adults that were really in charge, no discipline when the kids hurt each other, food was scarce, school lessons were a joke, etc.

I think like so many other things, the idea of a commune draws in certain types of people, and some of those people are lazy free-loading assholes. I think they're a good idea, but the lazy fuckers ruin it for everyone else.

there's only a very small fraction of communes that actually work and they need very specific people. There's one I can think of that sells beaded hammocks or something that has actually been successful long term. But who knows that might just be because of a few central figures holding everything together.

it's more reasonable to reconstruct an old timey village vibe or a family/clan focused community.

personally a commune sounds like my own personal hell. I like privacy and people minding their own business. I wouldn't mind being surrounded by my close friends though. even then I would probably kill them after half a year if I had to see them every day.

I lived at a couple, they have issues. Imagine being with roommates that you don't agree with, but can't change anything about it because of politics.

It amazed me how small non profit land projects could have such crippling bureaucracy.

My advice: know the people you will be living with for a long time, before you try.
