    - enjoys #soup, #CloseHarmony, #mountainhiking, #repairing, and #vegan food, but not #procrastination, #CognitiveDissonance, #Necropolitics, or #InstitutionalRacism;
    - supports fair trade and #FairChain/#FairShare (FairTrade is a colonial concept that reinforces inequality), #organic, and therefore avoids shops and online stores run by exploiters (of the earth, including people);
    - believes that most people are decent, and look up to those who stand for love and radical equality and ‘drive the money-changers from the temple’, but are naturally fearful and therefore easily choose leaders who sell hatred, discrimination in service of those who exploit;
    - is a militant #pacifist with an understanding of defensive violence (against mosquitoes and exploiters);
    - has the privilege of being able to choose paid work that benefits the world and ...
    - philosophises briefly on the world and then at length on the text he has written;
    - fact-checks what he shares, and the authors he quotes, but sometimes not, or only afterwards;

  5. Wanted to have a quick look at my bicycle, to get it ready for more commuting during this winter. That is how it goes.

    Wollte schnell noch einen Blick aufs Velo werfen, damit es für die nächsten Wochen Pendeln bereit ist. So geht es dann.

  6. Looking for a place online where I can order replacement buttons, like for an old overcoat or cardigan. Anyone seen anything like this?

  7. Earlier today I had a one handed Cartier Tank homage, because the hour hand fell of the shaft of the moment.

    But this evening, I finally mustered up all my courage and decided to try to fix it.

    I am really proud of myself right now, because I (yes, me) fixed it.

  8. today i replaced the broken fan on my nintendo switch (original model). it was the most difficult repair that i've done by far, because i had to unplug & plug connectors that i'm not familiar with and because it was my first time applying thermal paste. thankfully, i didn't break anything though, so i'm happy with the end result! #repairing

  9. #OrilliaOntario - Need something fixed? #Orillia #RepairCafé returning in April

    Event taking place April 5 at St. James' Anglican Church

    Mar 14, 2025

    "Local residents are invited to bring their broken or torn possessions to St. James’ Church on Saturday, April 5 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), where 'fixers' will be on hand to make repairs and turn their 'trash' into 'treasure' at the eighth Orillia Repair Café, which takes place twice a year.

    "The event is supported by local volunteers and Sustainable Orillia, St. James’ Anglican Church and Lake Country Time Trade.

    "Light refreshments will be provided as well as child-friendly activities. A new feature this year will be '#BookSwaps,' one for adults and one for children. The café has a friendly and fun ambience and combines an enjoyable family activity with a rewarding outcome.

    "Annalise Stenekes has led the project since its inception and has gathered a dedicated and talented team of fixers who will attempt to repair a variety of items, including bicycles, lamps, home appliances, sewing machines, jewelry and audio/visual and computer equipment. Small furniture items will be repaired, clothing and footwear mended and toys given new life.

    "Last year, 230 kilograms of items were given a new lease on life, diverting potential waste from the #landfill and saving an estimated $1,000.

    "'#Repairing and #reusing broken items, as opposed to disposing of them and purchasing new ones, is a practical and meaningful contribution we can make for our environment,' says local resident Wendy Kirk. 'The Repair Café is also a feel-good place — at times the joy is tangible when someone’s prized item is restored to its former usefulness.'

    "Repair Café events are happening around the world, saving money, reducing landfill waste, cutting CO2 emissions, promoting learning and fostering community connections."

  10. Vielleicht kann mir jemand helfen: Unser Kärcher Fenstersauger (WV 6 Plus) geht nach der ersten Akkuladung überhaupt nicht mehr. Keine Aufladeanzeige, keine blinkende LED, nichts.
    In einem Anflug ADHS'schen Übermuts habe ich ihn auseinander gebaut. Motor läuft noch, wenn ich ihm direkt Strom gebe. Auch Akkus haben noch Ladung, wenn ich es direkt messe. Ein SMD sieht angekohlt aus. Misst 10 Ohm widerstand, aufgedruckt ist "100". Kann es das sein? Was könnte ich noch prüfen? #Kärcher #repairing

  11. Whelp, feeling rather chuffed. Just disassembled our ailing 7yo front loader washing machine with my son, and we replaced the broken drain pump/impeller unit (luckily, we were able, after a lot of time researching, to figure out which part was right for that model. Put it back together and (amazingly) didn't have *any* screws left over. It passed various tests (like the ability to drain water, which was failing before), and it passed! Huzzah! #Repairing FTW!
