She just assumes that if something is broken, the first step is to see if it can be fixed.
The fact that this isn't the norm in society anymore is what baffles me. It's a great mindset to have, and personally I had to rewire myself to think like this as well. The feeling of reviving a dead or dying piece of tech is so much more satisfying than buying a replacement. Not to mention the money saved (usually).
I share a name with a famous Russian scientist that has some principles named after him. People from my country don't make the association, it seems like a common enough name. Other people instantly recognise it and can't believe that's my real name.
Thank you, that's so kind! I admit, I mostly enjoyed working on it. I know I complained a lot about certain things but it was a fun project!
Only 21-99, after that you say the hundred (thousand, million, etc.) first.
That sparkly quartz kitchen top? Yeah...crushed quartz and glitter to make it sparkle. As I said, it's everywhere.
Seeing the comments here and people don't even realise how widespread glitter is. It's in everything and used in a variety of industries. From pharmaceuticals to construction, to transport, vehicles, military... in fact the one of the biggest consumers of glitter is kept secret so who knows, could be the military. It won't surprise me. We really need to find an alternative.
While I agree, I live in an area where the tech I can afford is similar to what seems popular in India and SEA. I'm a visual learner and often times I end up on that part of YouTube when I need to repair something, and the best I've got is an Indonesian dude breathing solder fumes in the backyard of his makeshift shed at night. And you know what?
That was the most useful repair video I found and it helped a lot. And I found it because the title was in English.
Oof I missed to post last week's thread and almost forgot this week's. You beat me by two hours! We're planning a short vacation and it turned out more stressful than I expected. Also work is draining me... I really need that vacation! Anyway I'm mostly done with the cat.
I have some more work to do on that boooooring blue da bi Dee da ba da book, as well as the porcelain throne. I gave myself some... creative liberties with the TP as metallic grey isn't the best paper colour. Once I'm done with that, I'll do the backstitch. I admit, I don't like working on this as much as I thought. The solid block really made it a grind.
The greenhouse of oddities is on hold until I finish this. I kind of want to get back at it but if I do I'll end up leaving this on hold indefinitely...
I'll try that. Thanks! Already bricked another broken Nokia by not making a recovery when it wasn't even supported 🙃
That happened after a wipe of the device. It can't be the app.
I soak up trivia, and information about things like a sponge. I work with meds, and I can tell you at least one little piece of trivia about most of the thousands of pills that surround me. I can't let myself interact with an object, and not know what it is, or what it does. Every single songbird that I hear outside, I must know what it is. Every single flower on the ground? I need to know! We've spent an hour on a 10m stretch cataloguing, and identifying every single plant on there, just for fun.
