D'you think we can get Ricardo Montalban to hypnotise one of the sportsball players?

How old were they? Because this (top left) may be the reason...

You can still do this in Waterfox, FYI.

I've not used Firefox in years (just various forks), specifically because of Mozilla's insistence on changing the UI and not allowing you to change it back.

I'm just picturing one of those episodes of M*A*S*H where they leave Frank Burns in charge.

From what I understand, they don't normally bother producing service manuals for individual models. It's a case of 'they all work on the same basic principals, so the repair person should be able to figure it out'.

My guess (based on my repair of a couple of aging treadmills that would suddenly jump to full speed!) is that there's a sensor on the motor that's malfunctioning and feeding the controller wrong (or no) information. It sounds like it sends power to the motor, doesn't receive the expected speed info back, stops and tries again a couple of times, then gives up.

If it is the sensor, they seem to be pretty cheap (assuming compatibility), though I don't know how easy it is to get the old one off and replace it:

I remember reading an article in the early 90s where they opined that 'the thing that would really date TNG was the presence of a therapist on the ship'.

Mental health - a total 80s fad, right?

England - never been a line. The only thing I've ever had to wait for is for the bod manning the polling station to find my name on the list and hand me a voting slip. In and out in a couple of minutes.

It comes from bonehead, iirc - a boneheaded mistake.

I had a hunch that the original image would be Nyarlathotep related, aaaand:

I think someone's been feeding them Call of Cthulhu game module plots. I hope they do Beyond The Mountains of Madness next.
