@Queen1066 @Maker_of_Things i would suggest the best investment is actually knowledge and skills. Don't buy gold or t bills or whatever. Buy a blacksmithing course. Books on gardening. Learn how to repair a bike. Do a course in how to install PV. The value doesn't go down.

This is what we are finding at #RepairCafe.
Aside from digital and electronic tech, I am hoping that I am capable of repairing many things and making with whatever I can find.
It's been non stop at the #repairCafe here.
The queue was out to the car park.
70 items arrived and many have left successfully repaired! I've heard the successful repair bell ring at least 20 times but a few people snuck out without dinging...

I've had a few people comment on my builder's trug repair (I saw a guy doing it on a YouTube video) and I've also done the same on a soft plastic laundry basket. So I'm sharing here in the hopes that it saves one going into landfill somewhere. #repaircafe

A key part of this project is separating out organisations, locations and services.
They're often used interchangeably, and it makes it hard to understand what's happening.
Example: this repair cafe is organised by a local branch of The Repair Cafe Foundation and a local org, Sunflower House. The event happens at 1 of 2 locations operated by Sunflower House - this one is also called Sunflower House.

Ok, so I’ve just discovered neocities, so I need to jump back into my (very) rusty knowledge of editing html to make something for kool_watch_repairs - diving back into a web presence rather than that meta shite. Wish me luck! #RepairReuseRecycle #garmin #fix #repaircafe #html #keepItOutOfLandfill
We have "growth hackers" but no "stability hackers." "Disruptors" but no "preservers." Our entire vocabulary is oriented toward the new. We have no language for the equally difficult work of keeping existing things from falling apart.

This is why I repair things. We need the apprentice, the journeyman, the artisan, the fixer, the tinkerer. #repair #repaircafe #RepairReuseRecycle
1/ Ich habe zwei Ideen für #Weihnachtsgeschenke:
1) Kauft jemandem, der noch keine benutzt, mal Stofftaschentücher. Die kann man auch brauchen, wenn man keinen Schnupfen hat. Hat heute jemand ganz erstaunt in meinem Umfeld festgestellt.
2) Wenn Ihr kein Geld, aber Zeit habt oder einfach nicht noch mehr Zeug kaufen wollt, schenkt jemandem, dass Ihr ihm/ihr ein Gerät repariert bzw. Euch darum kümmert, dass es repariert wird. Einfach für jemanden zum #RepairCafe gehen.

Liefste Mastodon: help. Ik zoek een organisatie ( #repaircafe , iets #fietsbieb achtigs,...) in de buurt van #Stekene waar oude laptops worden gewist en met een nieuw ( #Linux) besturingssysteem ter beschikking worden gesteld van mensen of organisaties die ze nodig hebben. Ik heb zelf wel een laptop te geef, maar vooral: ik ken 'n pientere gast die daar best wat tijd voor zou kunnen maken (en die een positieve geengageerde "derde plek" nodig heeft). #jeugdzorg
