Despite living in a literal basement my apartment is blazing hot and we have to have all the windows open 😭 is there a way to adjust the amount of heat coming out of the radiators? They're also on my ceiling of that changes anything

I ordered a set of the Shogun series books from Amazon a long time ago and stupidly let them sit in the box and now they are all warped like this, is there any way I can make them straight again?

so i left an incense stick on the corner of my bathtub like an idiot, and only realised when it was too late and the ash had dropped into the bathtub, melted it and now it looks like the picture.

is this fixable? what can i do to smoothen it out?

My right AirPod pro 2 fell in the siphon while I was washing my face. I tried every ustensile in the kitchen but I’m not able to.

Any advice please ?

It was a gift so I really care about it and my coverage expired too.
I’m not eligible to get apple care + either.

Hi everybody , sorry if this isn’t the right sub for this.
Recently on a night out my heel broke. We purchased super glue and stuck it back together, but i accidentally got some glue on my jacket sleeve. It’s a faux leather jacket with wool sleeves (i am assuming since it was second hand) and the superglue is on both materials. Should I just accept it or is there any way to get this out or at least minimise it without damaging the jacket? I’m really hoping for the latter.
Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi everyone. In my apartment we have these dome-style lights that have led bulbs inside them. I cannot find a way to open the cover of this fixture so I can change the bulb. The other place I lived in had a similar type fixture, however, you could reach into the small gap between the fixture and the ceiling and press down on a latch that would open it up. This doesn't seem to have anything like that. It's also crossed my mind that this might be a totally disposable unit. Unfortunately the one in my bathroom over the vanity was--it died after a few years, and there was no bulb replacement....you had to install a whole new unit. I'm still in shock over the landfill nightmare that was. I'm hoping that's not the case here.

Edit: okay so it was in fact the screw, however I never thought to check it because I plugged the thing in originally and NEVER PUT A SCREW IN so I have a ghost in my house. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

How in the sam heck can I remove this? I put it in the wrong outlet last month. it has two three prong on the other side. My leverage situation is not working and I don’t want to die.

Hi everyone. My friend is disabled and cant pull the required 30lbs of force on a line.

I feel like there has to be a motorized device already out there that would suit our needs. The rope (line) diameter would be 2-3mm diameter. It would only need to reel in. Releasing tension on the line should naturally extend it out.

This is to try and help him used a fan powered paraglider. Ideally he could hold a remotes in each hand for each side of the kite.

Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions 😊

Hello! My dog has a pain med that needs to be cut in half. The problem is, the pill is super chalky and doesn’t cut evenly. I’ve tried a knife and a pill cutter. Both leave a mess of dust and an uneven cut.

Does anyone have any other ideas or luck using something else? If it helps, I get his meds filled through Costco.

What’s the best way to fasten this to the floor? I have rubber floors so an adhesive would work but the only parts of the console that touch the floor are the thin walls.

I found this great little rolling bar in the alley and rescued it for my garage. Everything about it is in great condition except for two of the rolling wheels that have fallen off. Any ideas of how I could go about reattaching these? It looks like the nuts the wheel bolt screwed in to were soldered in place. An example of one of the feet where this is still intact is included in the photos.

Is there some way/ideas on how to get them (the nuts) fitted back in place with some kind of strength that doesn't involve me buying a soldering kit?

Or for anybody who has experience with soldering kits. Is it worth it to use this as an excuse to add one of those to my tool kit? Would soldering these nuts in place even be strong enough?

Thanks all!

sometime yesterday my jug of laundry detergent fell over and spilled all over the top of my dryer and spilled into the lint catcher and drenched the catcher, I now have discovered that the bottom and behind the dryer is soaked in soap, is this an easy fix or should I just buy a whole new dryer?

I got this teddy bear along time ago from my grandma and it is no longer playing the message that she recorded. I have no clue why not, I have only tried replacing the batteries and have no idea what else to do.

Hi, please Explain it like I am 5-- I have a VPN subscription and a nice router, but I am technology dumb.

Got cracked will moving to new house. Piece doesn’t push back completely in some places. What’s the best way to repair this crack

I bought this sailor cap for a Halloween costume. High quality, but its a bit loose as i expected. Padding it works fine, but i figured out i can use this head strap from an old hardhat to wear it more securely.

Only issue is the hat swivels around and the strap falls out if i jostle my head too much. Is there a way to keep the strap in and fit well without using adhesives?

weird request, but I need to make a VHS tape play ONLY static for one hour for a performance piece. how can I accomplish this?

one restriction: I can’t tune the TV to a channel because it has no antenna (aka I can’t record a channel of static).

Whatever I insert in this holder is coming up to be dem the bulbs have been checked in other holders in the same line and are working perfectly. The springs inside the holders are also working perfectly.

was tightening the screw into my gaming laptop after repasting, screw snapped and i cant get it out, what could i do, i have very minimal tools. would supergluing a screw driver into hole work?

My destructo dog broke through the screen door of my apartment balcony. How do I fix it? It looks pretty cleanly separated from the seam, but I've never done it before. Any tips?

I bought this at a Marshalls. Juicy brand. Within 1 month it stopped working. I have replacement batteries but I can't for the life of my figure out how to open the back to put em in. There's a very slight indent thingy on the circle on back, I tried to get a picture of it (second pic, my nail is pointing toward it) Can't lift it. Help???

I bathe my toddler in the laundry sink (no bathtub in this house!) but he's recently noticed the mixer tap and now it's a constant battle to stop him grabbing it and accidentally turning it all the way to scalding.

I've tried looking at 'toddler proofing' attachments but I can't seem to find anything that will still allow me to set the tap to warm. Is there a way for me to restrict how far the tap turns so that my sticky-fingered toddler can avoid burning himself?

EDIT To respond to some common questions: - water heaters in my area must be set to a minimum temperature of 60degC to prevent growth of Legionella. This is a legal requirement. - we're after a solution that will allow us to keep the tap running during shower/bathtime - I think the easiest solution is to use a couple of zip ties to limit the range of the tap for now, and then get a mixing valve installed at this outlet. - kid is never unattended in the bath. Even if I'm there the whole time, it's pretty easy for a toddler to knock the tap the wrong way without any prior warning. Often it's an accident and I flick it back like 1-2 seconds later, but that's enough time for the water to become uncomfortably hot for the little one.

Thanks for all the help!
