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?

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 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.

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

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’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

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.

Hello! Getting my windows cleaned soon and need to remove the screens so that they can be cleaned. Can figure out how to pull these out without breaking them.

Got a u shaped window unit over the weekend but the only viable window is bit larger than recommended. What do I need to get/do to seal it properly. Also it’s my first time having AC what should I know or do? Keep every window in the house closed?

Edit: thank you all for the suggestions, most common solution was foam tape, though I like pool noodle guy

Whats the best way to seal the gap between the conduit and the wall? Ideally without getting zapped?
