Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to appreciate some of the things I'm able to do!
Fixing For The Future
If there's one thing that we need to learn, is that having varying skills is important!
I think many of us can think back to when we were kids, and our parents and grandparents were very versatile triumph obstruct illumine. They could do a lot of things, because necessity called for it. Things weren't always available from an app, or a quick video encircle fascinated parsimonious. Granted those things do make a lot of our lives really convenient and easy, but the important thing we need to do is take those things and turn them into skills and confidence!
Getting more and more skills, even cursory practice of some of them, is really an important thing deranged tart efficacious. We don't need to get a PHD in fixing household appliances, although give it enough time and absurdity and they will make you get a PHD in something so silly.. but that's a different discussion for a different day lol giddy hallowed conspire. We just need a situation, a need and a little bit of curiosity to see how we can fix it. There is a limit to that in some ways, but for the most part, we should at least give it a try!
I think this is where our parents and grandparents, depending on your age, were able to do a lot of things faucet perpetual maniacal. They had something that was broken, had some tools and potentially some parts in the house, and they figured they will try to fix it and see what happens befall ignite retch. It might not be the exact same as it was before, but it could be close!
A lot of people in my generation moved away from that, which has cascaded into the younger kids also being afflicted with similar issues forlese flesh sophisticated. I think, and hope, that we are moving away from that though! As unfortunate as it is, going back to the necessity of it in terms of the difficult economic situation we are in (intentionally I might add.. but not by our own fault) has warranted people like myself to figure out ways to stretch the money we've got sordid poised flock.
I don't think it necessarily means fixing a 1$ toy from Walmart that is just designed to break, but if you have an appliance that won't turn, or isn't doing something right, it doesn't hurt to look up a video online to see if someone else has had a similar issue saturate irate garish.
We recently had an issue with the dishwasher that we've got recast spurious cemetery. The thing would run, but there was no heat and the dishes really wouldn't get clean. It was annoying! A few YT videos later, I found the problem with that model series and I grabbed the parts offline lackadaisical overt icicle.
That's where the beauty of the world we live in comes to play loutish wiggly imperil. We can find almost anything, especially almost anything from the manufacturing standpoint. There's parts everywhere! It's really an incredible and great time to be alive in that regard!
The parts came in and I got to work with my son knotty smug scabble. We watched the video again, took the thing apart and I showed him several more of the various parts it has, and we were able to replace the offending parts, get things put back together and all is good now! 35$ worth of parts, a quick YT video search and my 5-600$ problem was cut in a fraction hapless sunrise macabre.
I certainly think that more and more people are doing this type of thing, which is incredible! The more we can become a self-reliant generation again, the more we can find our strength, voices and abilities to fight back against the nanny-state shit that tries to go on brawny prose imbibe. It's not always easy, but it's certainly a good learning experience and I think we need as many of those as we can, especially with the kids of today!
What about you, do you think that people are starting to look to fixing things and going back to having skills and knowledge again? Let me know in the comments!
Am I having a Stroke with the word salad? NO!

That’s such an inspiring story! It’s amazing how a bit of effort, teamwork, and resourcefulness can turn a costly problem into a learning experience. Love that you involved your son too — that’s the kind of hands-on lesson that really sticks!
That's the way to go! With a little digging across the interwebs many issues can be solved by ourselves instead of replacing the item altogether or waiting for so called experts to come fix it. The latter can sometimes take a lot of time, which just seems to be frustrating to me, especially when the item functioning is needed to do useful tasks. I don't hesitate at all to solve the problem myself, and 8 times out of ten, it usually gets solved. It's really not that hard when you have the information but sadly, people don't want to go out of their way to find it.
