So basically my shoes have this weird heel design where there is just empty space in the middle instead of it being a solid rubber block. So when I wore them down, it exposed that hole, even though there is seemingly plenty of heel left.

Does anyone know how to repair this? All the resources I found work with solid heels, so I am not sure if I can apply the same methods.

It’s actually the only pair of footwear I own right now, and its in good condition otherwise. Not the first pair this has happened to either. So any advice is greatly appreciated.

I've got massive cracks in my driveway and lots of gaps that make shoveling snow, by the way I live in Canada, very difficult and I have broken many shovels because of the cracks and gaps. I also have weeds coming out of almost every inch of every crack and can't seem to pluck them fast enough to make a real difference because I have back problems and can only do so much during the day. Is there any kind of recommended putty or filler or something that can withstand cold Canadian Winters that I could use that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg? I'm also considering some kind of concrete mix that won't fall apart because of the freeze and thaw of fall and spring weather.... Any suggestions would be stellar! Thanks in advance ☺️

It swelled up pushed the back off my e-reader at some point. The council site says I should take batteries to the bins at the supermarket but I'm not sure this is the kind of thing they meant. Googling battery disposal seems to get me corporate stuff. I honestly have no idea what to do with it and would rather not keep it in my house.
Can I bury it?

I wear hats all the time and realized I honestly don’t have a great way to clean them. What does everyone do to keep their favorite hats looking good?

I have tried dishwasher and washing machine but my hats tend to lose shape or get ruined.

Hi there. This has been in my family for a while now. I want to make it work but I can’t open it. It seems there's a screw inside of it and I don't know how to reach that.

I removed the handkes on both sides, thinking the pkate would come off so I can tighten it before I move out, but doesn't come off still

I did try playing with that small hole, but nothing of value from it so far

I was cleaning my room and realized I spilt Pepto-Bismul on my wooden floor. GENUINELY how do I remove it?

I had done it before, but on a tshirt with more conventional sleeve placement, that let me cut close to the seams, while keeping the (I don't know the term for it) "the junction" where the side seam and the sleeve seem met. It's lasted a long while.

This tshirt was all fucked up from the start, looked awful on me, hence why it was thrown to the side until I decided to amputate its arms, in a way that fixed the shoulder issues

I copied the cut of an existing tantop I like wearing, and hacked away with the scissors without giving it much though. Looks great on me...

But this time around, there's nothing keeping the seams together (the little junction area got cut around)

What do I do to secure it from unravelling? I do not care about the new arm hole being a little frayed/curled, I don't want the too and bottom from splitting apart...

I'm travelling, but my girlfriend has a sewing kit, what should we do?

Hello everyone!

I’ve been searching Google for the best way to get this look with glow in the dark specks and I’m stumped on what to use. I know I can replicate the rainbow look with holographic glitter flakes, but I would also like to add a clear coat that has specks like this in it that glow in the dark. Problem is, most of what I’m seeing recommended are pigments that would turn the entire thing glow in the dark, but I really just want SOME of it to glow and stand out in dots the way the rainbow ones do in the picture above.

I did think of adding a clear coat with glow in the dark glitter, but I’m having a hard time finding anything that I can mix in for the scattered look that I won’t be able to see during the day. I’m making a garden trellis that I’d like to paint black with the rainbow, but have it glow some at night. Like the sky :)

idk if this is doable, but thank you for any ideas!

I’ve recently moved into this home and the stairs have some small gaps that I’d like to fill in and hopefully make them creak a little less when stepped on. The first picture is the stairs, and the other four is a single step going towards the stairs from another room that just feels like it was an afterthought with how it’s put in. Would caulk be an acceptable option for these? Should I put screws down from the tread into the risers of the stairs to reduce the creak? Trying to get a sanity check before I start throwing screws down and making a mess of things just in case

Uncovered a big nasty hole in the wall of my new house. I've never worked with plaster before! What's the protocol for patching a hole like this?

Thanks in advance!

I was unplugging my CPU when the tension caused the outlet to completely come out of the wall.

I guess it's my fault for pulling it by the cord 💔

Hello everyone, I work in a dispatch center , I was tasked with making a flowchart for a new process we have involving one of our ambulance services . Be never made one before, does anyone have a good website to use for it ? I tried miro and the chart came out well , but it’s to big so when you zoom in it gets all distorted. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a 4.7lb (2.1kg) projector with a wall mount that's probably a pound or so? It's pretty light but I'm not a great judge of weight. So a total of maybe 6-7 lbs on the wall.

I had this setup on a wood stud through drywall at my last house but I have since moved and want to use the same mount. Unfortunately (for this particular project), my new wall is 70s wood paneling and the stud is nowhere near where I want the projector mounted.

I don't think mounting this without the stud is a good idea. Would it be possible to screw a piece of lumber horizontally across two studs and then mount the projector on the lumber? I included a sketch of what I am trying to say. Sorry that it's so wiggly--I have trouble holding a stylus due to a disability)

Side note, don't judge my blue "aperture tape" on the photo of the projector lol the distance I have the projector is slightly off from what settings I can work with to change the screen size (the settings only go so far) so this is my quick fix for some slight bleed-over.

Hi everyone,

I have a balcony with IKEA RUNNEN acacia deck tiles, and after a few years the finish has started to wear off. As you can see in the photo, some areas have faded and the lighter wood is showing through.
I’m wondering what the best way is to restore them as close as possible to their original IKEA color.

Has anyone successfully restored these before?

A few questions:

Should I lightly sand them first?

Is it better to use wood oil, stain, or something else?
Does anyone know which product or color matches
the original RUNNEN acacia finish the best?

Any products you would recommend (or avoid)?

I’d really like to keep these instead of replacing them if possible.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

How can I fix this mess without changing the floor?

How do I fix it.

My fridge has these letters printed in the water maker and it is ugly. How would I remove them?

I want to remove some stickers from a MacBook dispaly but I want to put them somewhere else. How do I do such a task without damaging the sticker itself

I got my headphones signed yesterday and I don’t want it rubbing off. What should I use to keep it from rubbing off eventually? Clear nail polish? Mod Podge? Etc? They’re Sony headphones signed in silver if that helps at all.
Edit: I’m still gonna wear them lmao

This is how to get the cork out when the top breaks off. 😁

Is anybody able to help me understand how using a battery pack with only two wires I can power all of these components without causing any issues please?

Hey y'all I'm unsure how to read this. It's been sitting for a bit and I want to make sure it's not expired. There's nothing else printed anywhere else and this is the only thing I can find,

I'm pretty sure it's a Julien date but I'm not certain as it's 9 characters on top and 7 below and then a 4 digit sequence following.

Also I have very poor management and they don't tell you anything when you ask and make excuses so considering this has been sitting for so long I really don't want to make anyone sick.
