Dang bro maybe thats why i like your chanel because we are similar people. The randomness of the articles is what attracted me personally. Yeah the seriousness of money is good but then useful stuff like this is where is at for me and sometimes silly stuff this just means to me that life cant be too serious and there is time for everything learning new things, prioritizing responsibility, and most important play time learning to relax and know what’s really important to us.

Great job! I’m not a disposable person either. My Dad always fixed things. I have a 20 yr old lawn mower, 15 yr old coffee pot w/grinder, 17 and 13 yr old cars, 23 yr old gas grill! Even my refrigerator is over 20 yr old. Older things just last if you take care of them and they don’t fill the landfills.
Im not afraid to take things apart if its a thing i really like using …. but i have to take photos of every moment to remember how it will go back together …. my favorite big deal for me was when my 69 Lincoln Mark III had a window problem …. i didn’t know if it was electric or not …… & i took the door panel off to look at it & i was so suprised to see plastic gears … it had broken from wear like maybe shelf life …. i was able to find the broken chips of the cog / gear thing & did a reinforcement build up of silk wrap & clear epoxy …. & it worked just fine …. being a woman & i was by my self & couldn’t show it to anyone to be proud of me, my girl friends wouldn’t even be interested …. so i just have it as a happy thing in my memories …. my latest one was my coffee mill … it was throwin coffee everywhere & into the motor, an Un believable mess the whole motor compartment was covered solid in grounds …. it had a broken baffle & that caused the coffee go up into the motor … i was able to get the broken pieces & glue them back ….. that was the messiest thing ever … i had to carefully brush all the coffee grounds & powder out of the motor ….. & found the broken pieces mixed into the grounds after i strained it …..it’s rewarding to me to fix odd things … i’m weirdly good at fixing broken widgets …. i was raised on a ranch & things had to be fixed & hoodwinked all the time ….

12:40 That joint i would prob be more concerned about its amperage flow. If its a low amperage joint then it prob doesnt matter but if we are talking like 12 amp flow of current, then yea that loose joint will eventually break apart from heat. That seems to be a lot of issues in electronics today, they use thin gauge wires or use cheap solder and try to pump 14 amps thru it, yes it will flow today and prob during its 90 day warranty but after years of use, that cheap solder joint will crack or that thin wire will burn itself open. By then its out of warranty. Remember these appliances are made by the thousands and made with the cheapest material and components and made to just outlast their 90 day warranty. And how many electronic repair shops do we have today in 2024 ? I only know of 1 in my city. Thats why people just junk it and buy a new one. I am one of those that id rather spend the $$ to fix it rather than send it to the land fill
Hi Francis, Can you please help me out with my new appliance. I just bought a electric grill from Japan and when I tried it at the first time, its blown and doesn’t work anymore. I noticed that Japanese appliances use lower voltage (100v) than Australia (230v). My question is do you reckon if I just broke it or it’s just fine and need a step down converter? Thanks
My grandfather was an electrical engineer. I have never learned it, but I have the capacity to understand. I saw something somewhere that said, if you’re going to be using a multimeter to test things, at some point, you will also want a DC power source, like a car battery, so that you can send DC power through the appliance. The thing that I have a problem with is my propane heater. I don’t just have car batteries sitting around, charged up and ready to go, and that seems like a huge pain. I would wonder if there was an alternative to a car battery, if some ordinary small battery source could be used instead, if there was a reason why this website or whatever said ‘car battery’ was the thing you should use – why? I definitely would want to use anything other than a car battery as a DC power source for testing of equipment.
Although I would only advise this as a last resort if you were an actual homeless, it is possible to resell this on ebay as is condition, buy the priority mail insurance, ship it, receive a customer complaint that it doesn’t work, and then file an insurance claim with the post office. You must possess questionable ethics to actually perform such a thing, but when you’re a homeless you’re more than likely not going to care.
BTB, isn’t it funny how we go through life trying to escape the prison of our society (e.g. being under the thumb of the corporate world/some boss), then we discover there’s another slave-drive; we ourselves! We need to give ourselves the permission to become our authentic self (to live a natural life of who we are), otherwise you’re still trapped in a false paradigm (seeking to please others etc, compromising who we are).
I want to make sure I am understanding correctly: if you have a ground fault after a load and your system is ungrounded, wouldn’t this be a potentially dangerous scenario since your appliance would be working but if you made contact with the housing you could be electrocuted? You would have no way of knowing there was a fault in the first place. Is this correct?
