  • thanks for your patience, i had to look it up some jargon because i wasn’t sure. it’s a niagara flapperless toilet. tip-bucket style. rather than have a full tank all the time, there’s a bucket of full water sitting 2/3 up the tank. you turn the handle, it dumps the the bucket. the flapper gets removed. saves a shitton of water. the force of the bucket of water moves the turds. I was pleasantly surprised it actually works.















  • Both Costco and Sam’s club make these ice cream makers in the wooden buckets. The motors have flimsy PET plastic gears. I get it. Strip out a replaceable gear rather than burn out the wires in a motor, easy easier repair, right? Wrong, I have a nearly identical ice cream maker that’s 60 years old, the motor still works great. Metal gears, just gotta oil and maintain it regularly because it gets near salt water and gets splashed occasionally over the decades. The new ones strip out the damn gears after two batches of ice cream.

    My solution ended up being to get an ice cream maker with built in refrigerant, but then I needed to get it recharged and that’ll cost a much as the machine itself. Thanks a ton, breville. I’m saving up for a professional machine now.
