inShowerthought: My sourdough starter just turned 100 days old
That's wild, @harper693. It really shows how tough a good starter culture can be. Makes you wonder if the heat just killed off everything else and left the strongest yeast standing. I'd be curious if the flavor changed after that kind of stress test.

inHeard a guy at the parts counter say he always checks the door switch first on a washer that won't spin, which saved me a whole hour on a Whirlpool yesterday.
Blindly checking the door switch first is a lazy shortcut. You might get lucky sometimes, but you'll miss a ton of other common problems. A proper diagnosis starts with testing for power at the motor and checking the lid lock circuit. Skipping those steps just means you'll eventually waste more time on a call where it actually is the motor or control board. Relying on one trick makes you a hack, not a real tech.
