So satisfying to use all the ink in a pen. These are all recently drained servants of my writing demands. The Cement Association of Canada pen will take a refill so it will be revived for use another day. #reuserecycle #pens #writingtools

C'est vendredi alors quelques #legostips de #MereNoel 🎅 :
- Vinted, pour trouver des sets #Legos à des prix raisonnables (aka 1/3 du prix pour #starwars). Mais il peut manquer des pièces..
- au paradis BrickOwl.com, on trouve tout : pièces, inventaire des pièces des sets, instructions de montage, boîtes d'origine pour sets épuisés...
- sur Rebrickable.com, il y a aussi des pièces, des remix avec instruction, et même un outil de détection de pièces via photo

On Amazon CD / DVD jewel cases range in price from $1.50 each (10 pack) to $0.32 (100 pack). Seems like I ought to be able to give them away.
If anyone has any suggestions for organizations that might take them, pls let me know.

On the way back from Tai Chi this lunchtime I called into the allotment to pick up two plastic chairs that were being held together, just, with cable ties and replace them with the new ones I've had sitting in the garden few weeks.
The old chairs have had their arms & backs sawn off and they are now destined to become allotment stools and / or occasional tables for our allotment plot picnic area.
I also eat a few of the small, ripe raspberries that were shouting "eat me!"

Two more Aeros recycled. The first for early growth and tray growing. The other for one or two bigger grows. The light on the second swivels so when the plants outgrows the light they can at least get side or bottom lightning.

A little Sunday #aptgarden project fun with a side of clickbaity thumbnail.
Tl/dr A 2 min video about turning an unused #Aerogarden Clone into a #Kratky growing solution.
And yes there are many questionable statements crammed into that 2 minutes...feel free to bring them up.

Repurposed a peanut butter jar to store instant oats and feeling mighty proud of myself :BlobCat_uwu: Gonna keep washing them for flour/sugar/etc

Trying out making a #Kayak #SpraySkirt from #Cordura fabric from a salvaged beanbag. #ReUseRecycle
Solid line is (roughly) the top edge of the combing. Cutting on dotted lines. Then I sew a ? pocket/hem around it and then put a length of 6 mm shock cord through the ? is there is a better term than pocket?
I'm only partially literate here.

The German #ReuseRecycle systems really rock.
In Scotland, they have tried but got held back by Westminster.
It does take a culture change, but we really don't have time to waste

#VerticalBlinds, I hate them, specifically the vertical strips.
Anyone seen mods/hacks that use the rails and the hooks to make something quite different that function as #Blinds?
Please share.

Started today and remembered your post:
This is what I use for sifting compost: a simple old window grille does the job.

Every couple of months I spend an enjoyable morning helping a local charity shop in #Oxford sort out their box of 'Cameras and photographic stuff'.
I test it all for basic operation, clean things up, paying careful attention to lenses, add labels and notes, and price them up for display.I am told they are usually all sold within a weekand I always hope the working film cameras will be used.

Xmas "presents" my wife and I bought ourselves at Goodwill. "Elsewhere" is the lowest price I find online for same item in same condition. Savings on elsewhere price is ~$424: $26+ in sales tax alone.
BTW we'd never buy these items elsewhere because those prices are too high for us. And even at Goodwill we buy only if item is high quality.
And it's not just about $. It's also #Conservation and #ReuseRecycle
EDIT: Apply national avg sales tax rate

- Lighted tree topper: $3.29
- "Presents", all 13 of them, $56 total (details 👇)Thanks Goodwill. 🙏
(Tree ornaments 17+ years old; none from Goodwill)

#EV #battery repair is dangerous. Here’s why mechanics want to do it anyway.
Fixing car and #ebike batteries saves money and resources — but challenges are holding back the industry.
by Maddie Stone, Dec 08, 2023
"About three times a day, Rich Benoit gets a call to his auto shop, The Electrified Garage, from the owner of an older Tesla Model S whose car battery has begun to fail. The battery, which used to provide several hundred miles of range, might suddenly only last 50 miles on a single charge. These cars are often out of warranty, and the cost of replacing the battery can exceed $15,000.
"For most products, repair is a more affordable option than replacement. And in theory, lots of these Tesla batteries can be fixed, said Benoit, who runs one of the few Tesla-focused independent repair shops in the United States. But due to the time and training involved, the safety considerations, and the complexity of the repair, Benoit said that the bill to fix one car battery at his shop might run upwards of $10,000 — more than most consumers are willing to pay. Instead, he said, many choose to sell or donate their old vehicle for scrap and buy a brand new Tesla.
“'It’s getting to the point where [the car] is almost like a consumable, like a TV,' Benoit said.
"Benoit’s experience heralds a problem that early adopters of EVs, as well as electric micromobility devices like e-bikes and #escooters, are beginning to face: These vehicles contain big, expensive batteries that will inevitably degrade or stop working over time. Repairing these batteries can have sustainability benefits, saving energy and resources that would otherwise be used to manufacture a new one. That’s particularly important for EVs, which contain very large batteries that must be used for years to offset the carbon emissions associated with making them.
But many EV and e-mobility batteries are difficult to repair by design, and some manufacturers actively discourage the practice, citing safety concerns. The small number of independent mechanics who repair EV or e-bike batteries struggle to do so affordably due to design challenges, safety requirements, and a lack of access to spare parts.
“'There are a lot of automakers who do not allow battery repair, even in case of minor damages to the battery case,' a GDV spokesperson told Grist. Automakers sometimes choose to replace the battery if the car was involved in an accident that caused the airbags to activate. Both practices 'will lead to an increase of repair costs,' and ultimately, higher insurance premiums, the spokesperson said.
"New rules around EV battery repairability would come at a critical time. Helps, of Cox Automotive, said that two trends in EV battery design are occurring in parallel: 'Batteries are either becoming very serviceable, or not serviceable at all.'
"Some, like the batteries inside Volkswagon’s ID.4, feature LEGO-like modules that are easy to remove and replace. Others, like Tesla’s new 4680 structural battery pack, don’t include modules at all. Instead, all of the cells are bonded together and bonded to the pack itself, a design Helps described as 'impossible to service.' If a bad cell group is found, the entire battery must be replaced.
“'It’s still a fully #recyclable battery,' Helps said. 'You’re just not able to repair it.'
"#Tesla didn’t respond to Grist’s request for comment."

Fellow mastadoners. @davewalker got me (michael) thinking about starting a village mobility hub. I’m thinking of buying this and parking it at the bus stop. A prospective user Texts a number, gets auto reply with the combination lock and a message that says “free to use, no liability implied, please try to return within 2 hours”. Is this a great idea? Please retoot - need input! #villagebike #moblity #cycling #ReuseRecycle
