An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Our dishwasher didn't pump out water anymore.

Had to get the dirty water out, first with a soupladel, then a cloth and cleaned everything obstructing the pump inlet or whatever it is called. I do clean the filter regularly but I guess the pump had enough of me not prewashing dishes. (I do all the housekeeping)

After cleaning everything out, hoped for the best….started a short program and as soon as it filled with water cancelled the program and it was all good. After did another run with dishes and the dishes came out fine.

My wife has cooled down again, I told her to take it easy but that never ever works, heheh.

Had a similar issue I had to help my folks with. Turns out their was a whole mandarin orange peel jammed inside the pipe. Not sure how it shimmied past the filter, but was one hell of an extraction I never want to do again.

At least it didn't take any pump replacing. For me it was rice and spinach that blocked the pump.
