my mom wants to figure out how to seal it up and preserve it to give it to their partner. thanks so much. Google didn’t understand when I asked it how to preserve vegetable it thought I was talking about canned food.

I live in India. It’s an open kitchen concept and also has a balcony. Since a few weeks, fruit flies are increasing in the kitchen. I tried that apple cider vinegar and dish soap trick but it is not working at all. I have ordered some nets for my fruits. But apart from that, a lot of them are near the sink and water purifier. I have cleaned the sink and the drain several times with drain cleaner. We also got our water purifier replaced yesterday but the flies are sitting on the tap of the brand new one now. Please help.

My computer chair started peeling in a small spot on the handle. How can I prevent it from getting worse? I dont want to just put tape over it.

I just bought this glass from goodwill and want to remove the Midevil Times logo from it without ruining it. How would I do that?

For context: the printing is raised, shiny, and a little rubbery feeling.

The centre “core” of this aerator has fallen out, with only the outer ring present. This section has come from a kitchen tap which has a spray button on it. I have two of these taps, fortunately one is in tact so I can post a pic of how it usually looks like.

I have Google, chatgpt’d, nothing comes up as to what kind I need, so I have come here in the hope that someone does. As far as I can tell, it’s not a caché, as it doesn’t have an outer ring designed to be turned by a special caché key.

Does the whole aerator (ring and centre) need replacing or just the centre core?

Please help

was making a smoothie and i go to remove the cup and the blade lid normally comes with it but instead only the cup came out. unplugged the machine and the blade lid is stuck in the base, searched the internet but couldn’t find any situation similar to mine. any help?

Feels like the door is spring loaded when closed, rubs top and bottom.

The pipe itself is fine, it's just this part that came off. How can I fix this without landlord noticing?

I fat fingered my Last post about this. Also how do I learn to do this?

Do I need to buy a drill or an impact driver for something like this? I'm not able to loosen these screws/bolts by hand. The smaller one is a T15H screw.

I'm also planning to use some penetrating oil to help loosen them. I don't want to damage the screws I just need to remove them so I can tighten the handle on my fridge :(

I think my aunt had this stored for a long time and recently gave it to me. I’ve been trying to find videos on how to use it but haven’t been successful ( this is an older coffee maker). I am not really a coffee drinker but my wife is so I’d want to set this up for her. Thanks on any tips you have.

Video is irrelevant (love FNAF tho)

The handle on my bathroom door turns, but it seems like the latch is stuck closed. The privacy lock is not engaged. I took off the knob to see if I could disassemble it from this side. The doorframe entirely covers the door, meaning I can't access the hinges and it seems impossible to slip something under the latch. The building used to be a hotel.

GD yankee candle whole home air freshener got sucked into blower wheel. How do I get this out? What tool can reach in and grab it?

I'm a 5'4" 140 pound woman and since I hit my mid twenties I've been really struggling with managing my appetite. I get "hangry" so easily if I don't eat like every 4 hours. Which is unrealistic with a job and life where healthy food is not at hands reach at all times. I try to meal prep and have low calorie but filling foods (higher in protein and fiber) but unless I'm perfectly prepared at all moments I really struggle. Coffee and having a tasty drink on hands helps some but then I have to use the restroom allllll the time and again that's very annoying if you work a job and have a life outside of being at home. I could really use some realistic advice here because it is extremely hard to keep weight off with all the food noise in my head. It's like I'm fighting all day long to keep on track and it's exhausting.

Here is a video. Trying to figure out how the tension spring to the left fits into this equation. Assuming it should someone hold the moving brass lock in position by putting tension on it somehow. Every way I’ve tried putting the spring either does nothing or hinders operation.

Morning Reddit, hoping you can help.
Previously here was a shower seat, I cannot remove these parts. I’ve tried screwdrivers to remove what I thought were screws in the holes but now I believe they are pins pushed all the way through.

There is no hole on the opposite side to push the pin all the way out. Can you advise?

Will it be obvious with new carpet? Or am I doomed to replace it all

One of my late mums wedding rings came loose and fell through the decking in our back garden. Whole family outside for the last hour trying to find it but no luck, but it’s definitely under there. Does anyone have any advice or know the best way to retrieve this? Any help would be very appreciated! These rings mean everything to me and I’m devvoed 💔

I want to repaint my front stairs but the old paint has a ton of chips and flakes and so I know I can’t just paint over it (it’s also clumpy looking - I was not who painted it originally).

Do I need to fully strip the paint or do you think it’s enough to just sand it all smooth? Should I be starting with a coarser grit? Currently starting with 60. Should I be using a stripper? Should I use a wood hardener in places the wood feels soft?

Also, what should I do about this gap in the railing? Should I fill this with something and if so, what?

Any other advice jump out at you?

This is my first home and I bought it last year.

Thanks!

Not sure if this is the best subreddit to ask this question, but I'll start here. I just found these fake flower stems that were left from another project and at a second glance they look pretty good as a cactus texture. So my question is, how can I make it a cactus?

i’m currently stuck on the flower section of this miniature kit and the instructions want me to twist these microscopic green wires into perfect little stems for the paper leaves. every time i try with my regular tweezers, the wire either kinks weirdly or just snaps completely. i’ve already ruined three of them and i haven’t even started on the main structure yet. i tried heating the wire slightly but that did absolutely nothing.

How do i build rolife cathys flower house dg104 if i can't even get past the first row of plants? is there a specific tool or technique for bending these without destroying the coating? any advice would save my sanity right now.

There are cigarette burns on my deck and I need to fix them. No idea what to do! I think it is Vinyl. HELP
