We Are Alive! March 29th, 2022
Today is another day flying by, we got an earlier start and now we don't feel like we're an hour behind.
We had to admit defeat concerning our dishwasher. A few weeks back I "fixed" the dish washer, but sadly it decided to quit working again just a few days later. We tried all sorts of things to make it work... but no.
We called an appliance repair man and he determined within minutes that he had some bad news for us.
The motor was not functioning. He inquired about a replacement motor, but it's back-ordered. It could be upwards of MONTHS before it's available. Also, he told us another client of his has the exact same model dishwasher with the exact same motor gone bad. Very interesting. So even if the replacement motor became available, we would be second in line.
Then he estimated the parts and labor costs and they're about half the value of the dishwasher. Oh boy.
So he basically told us our dishwasher is TOTALED.
Sad face.
It's a $1300 dishwasher, we got it for $600 (new), we used it for two years, that's about $0.82 per day (+detergent, electricity and water) to have clean dishes. Say $1.00 per day. I suppose from that perspective, it's not quite as bad.
I began to wonder if that big discount I found when purchasing had something to do with the motor failing, but our appliance guy said his other client paid full price... so it's not that.

Bless the Most High!
The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.
I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.
They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?
People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism
You can never beat hand washing dishes for the price. It may be good for the little one to learn too. I know some folks use the dishwasher for a place to dry and store dishes. Best wishes.
Absolutely true, hand washing is by far the most cost-efficient way to clean up.

Sorry about your dishwasher Benjamin, usually you should be able to replace the coal brushes on the motor, if that's what is wrong, but some manufacturers have stopped that possibilily, I hope you find the best solution and stay !ALIVE

Thank you for the advice. We are looking for a replacement dishwasher... if HIVE goes to $10 USD, it'll be an easy expense. :-)

Let's hope for that, just make sure you set a sell order prior to it as I suspect a lot of people would want to sell.

Oh no! Shaky-Shaky-Splash is dying! Have you tried turning it into a mini book shelf?
Hmm, interesting suggestion.
Bummer about the dishwasher, Benjamin. I would bet your wife felt it was worth a dollar a day, especially with your tribe, lol
Every utensil, every meal, times eight. Three meals a day, plate, bowl, spoon/fork, cup x 8 = very full sink.
It is a blessing in disguise. Time to make space for something better.
You might be right!
sorry about the dishwasher, hope you find a new one at a good price. Found this post on liste nerds.

A dishwasher is a great addition to the house. I hope you have better luck with your next one. The dishwasher I used back when I was renting a room started having issues down the line and sometimes it didn't exactly clean all the way. I always had to make sure to wipe off anything and rinse the dishes afterward.
Hand washing dishes isn't very difficult or time consuming for one or two people, but once you add six children into the mix we become very thankful for a functioning dishwasher.
That looks like a big dishwasher. We have a smaller one, but even that is very useful. Is it out of warranty? Probably it is after 2+ years. Sorry you'll have to change it, but fewer things are made to last nowadays.
We live in a replacement society. There's a campaign called "right to repair" fighting the efforts to eliminate access to replacement parts and resources to repair - instead we're always supposed to "upgrade". What happens when we "upgrade" to a SMART refrigerator with a touchscreen connected to Amazon and Google, that won't open once we've gone over our calorie limit? That's a downgrade in my opinion! I'd rather use that dishwasher from 1950 that's still working!
We lose control little by little. 30-40 years ago our old cars could be taken apart to the last screw by anyone who had a passion for cars, today you need a laptop to test your (new) car, tomorrow you won't be allowed to drive anymore, because AI drives better.
May your dishwasher R.I.P. $1/day doesn't sound bad but it all depends on what you think your time is worth.
I'd rather save that $1 per day as HBD and collect 12% apr passive income.
I despise it when appliances die! I want them to last like a billion years like my grandparent's stuff did! They just recently retired their toaster that they got when they got married, in 1956! LOL!
That said, I hope you all find a nice, dependable, long lasting dishwasher, I really love my Bosch:)
I suppose that's where the saying "they don't build them like they used to" comes from.
I try to repair all the devices with a certain success which makes that I am often solicited by my entourage for repairs, but sometimes I must also admit defeat unfortunately.

I attempted to fix the previous dishwasher, but it was beyond repair. Appreciate your support on ListNerds!

Well mate seems you got a good deal back when you purchased it then.😉
Things are not built to last much beyond a couple of years now.😢
We had similar problems with some of our appliances we managed to source the parts else where online and a few Youtube videos later working again.
How long for who knows? 🤣 Been a few months now and all good.
Some people sell parts on Amazon and Ebay just a thought if you know the model.
I am sure someone sells a motor for your appliance outside the company chain.
Have the best day @ironshield

Today I'm looking for a new dishwasher, about the same price but less features. We don't care about features, we just want something that will WORK consistently!
It's amazing the resources available today, parts and instructions for installation. I hesitated before calling a "pro" in, but I'm glad I did, it saved me a lot of time digging out a broken motor that would be expensive to replace. Thank you for the curation and support!
Good luck with your dishwasher hunt my friend have an awesome day
