I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It's pretty easy - I've done it a few times. Did you hit the reset button on the bottom of the unit? What does it sound like when you turn it on? Did you feel any tension release when you turned the allen wrench?

I haven't used the correct type wrench yet. I know I tried with a generic allen wrench years ago. I may not have done it correctly, so I just let it go since I didn't really care about having one.

It just makes a whirring sound, so it's not the motor right? I didn't use it a ton, but I think I may have let some grease in there that hardened. Not sure if that would completely lock it up.

I really am godawful at this type stuff and have put off diving in. I know I should give this and the other stuff one more legit go at it, but a plumber really may be worth it mentally.

Get a set of allen wrenches and give it one more go. Are you really going to feel good about paying a guy to come in and do 30 second's work?

Sweet. Any negotiation tips? I'm also very bad at that.
