Because the word that the average 'B' will choose is 'normal'.

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:

Wake up about 15 minutes before I have to be out the door. Just enough time to go to the loo, brush my teeth and chuck some clothes on.

If I give myself more time than I need, I just get sidetracked by something and end up making myself late.

You joke, but crop milk is a thing:

Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of the crop of parent birds in some species that is regurgitated to young birds. It is found among all pigeons and doves where it is also referred to as pigeon milk. Crop milk is also secreted from the crop of flamingos and the male emperor penguin, suggesting independent evolution of this trait. Unlike in mammals where only females produce milk, crop milk is produced by both males and females in pigeons and flamingos; and in penguins, only by the male. Lactation in birds is controlled by prolactin, which is the same hormone that causes lactation in mammals.

I had a friend who moved from the US to the UK when she was about 10. We'd sit at her mum's computer and play 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?', looking up the various clues in the Cyclopaedia on the bookshelf.
