    "what raised eyebrows was another suggestion🤦‍♂️ that the Government could partially foot the bill for lift & escalator safety #upgrades. When just 17% of #Singapore’s residents live in private #condominiums, should #taxpayers’ money be used, even for partial funding?"
    What is the difference between #public #housing and private #property? It is fair to fund private assets via public coffers?🤔

  12. Live in #Regina? Have something that's #broken and you'd like it fixed? How about getting it fixed for #free?

    Regina has a Repair Cafe! It started a year or so ago. I started volunteering when I found out about it. The volunteers are all great people, and between them they seem to fix a lot of stuff - everything from garment #repair to bicycles to power tools to electronics, and more.

    I'm not an official spokesman or anything - I just volunteer. But if you're in the #YQR area, you can get the date and location of the next repair cafe from this webpage:

    envirocollective.ca/repair-caf

    There's also a link from there to where you can sign up for a repair spot. Walk-ins are taken as possible, but reserved timeslots are served first.

    As I write this, the next one is on Saturday 21 March at the Circle Project, 3433 5th Ave. I haven't actually looked where that is yet, must do that.

    Anyway - come get stuff fixed for free, by friendly folk in a relaxed atmosphere. And save one more thing from ending up in the #landfill.

  13. #ToxicWaste from screens ends up in endangered #dolphins, study finds

    Gene-altering chemicals found in humpback dolphins and finless porpoises, raising alarm they may end up in human food chain

    by Tara Russell
    Wed 25 Feb 2026 08.00 EST

    Excerpt: " 'The presence of #LCMs in their brains is a major red flag,' He said. 'If these chemicals can cross the blood-brain barrier in dolphins, we must be concerned about the potential for similar effects in humans who are exposed through contaminated seafood or even drinking water.'

    "#ElectronicWaste is a growing problem around the world, with 62m tonnes of it generated each year. The main culprit is '#FastTech' – cheap and often poorly manufactured items viewed as disposable, including devices that use LCMs.

    "To reduce the damage, the researchers said people should try to extend the life of their #electronics through #repairs and disposing of them using certified #EWaste recycling methods."

  18. Freezer draw update.

    2 part Apoxie has been applied - detailed investigation of cracks showed that liquid Expoy wasn't gonna cut it and would be a major PITA to apply.

    Now just gotta leave it alone for 3 days to fully cure and see how it does.

    If it doesn't cure and hold fast, or does cure but then doesn't fare well under freezer temps, I'll have to just go buy the expensive replacement part.

    Fingers crossed ! 🤞🏾😒

    Thanks for your help everyone.

  25. I have a trackball where the rubber feet are partially falling of. I was thinking of removing them, cleaning the remaining glue and grime with "Goo Gone", and then re-glue the feet back. Is that a good approach? If yes, what type of glue should I use for the feet?

    (It definitely gets an E for effort, but personally I would deduct points for leaving the point on the nail.)
