LifeFuel I decided to repair everything in the hopes it will kill me somehow

[Cheezecel]

For a while now I've just stopped buying new things and try to repair everything that I possibly can, stuff like shoes, phones, electrical outlets ... most stuff is surprisingly easy to repair and there is always the little offchance I get electrocuted/smitten/smothered and what not and my misery ends.
Also i've realized most things are completely simple and don't require any special skills to repair.

Obviously that wont fix foids but maybe i can start charging dumb foids obscene amounts of money for easy repairs.

High IQ,you can save a massive amount of money if you know how to fix your own stuff,specially things related to electronics and plumbering and it's not even that hard to learn most of it.Professionals tend to overprice their services.

yep... im not rich to begin with and most replacement parts are extremely cheap and can be gotten in china since most western countries don't produce metals and plastics anymore

I started doing it as necessity to drink more but since I quit it's still a good cope

Where do u even start with electronics? Only thing I repaired were ripped cables.

just open them up and see whats broken , a lot of things have connectors so you dont have to even solder just get a replacement

and even if you have to solder you can get a cheap soldering iron its not that difficult to solder things unless they are BGA (?) balled or w/e its called then it's over (as is case for CPUs in macbooks and what not)

yea i bought old army boots and resoled them , army shoes are very high quality leather and usually extremely cheap , what breaks is most often the sole and you can get very good soles for cheap
then you just cut off the old soles, grind off the midsole (?) and glue the new soles with a hammer

haven't tried old tyres but i guess its really hard to cut them

With a hammer? Elab.

What glue do u use?

What glue do u use?

it's called "kontaktkleber" in german one famous brand is pattafix but you can use any glue that starts adhering once you put a lot of pressure on it , whats important is mostly the amount of pressure not the time

it's how cobblers replace the sole


it's ridiculously easy even without any special machines, but getting that metal stand to put on shoes/boots is extremely useful
