I fuckin love learning how things work and why, and then you can comprehend. Just, take the lid off & go "well that moves like this, and connects to that, so...ok yeah I gotta do this to fix it." It's so great. I learnt to fix toilets through this kind of experimentation (and thus became the go-to toilet repairman at that theater, even when I didn't work there any more).

Now I've decided to learn how to fix & service sewing machines, specifically old ones, after mine developed a fault in the timing and so naturally I bought two more, both of them decades older than me and sitting in someone's garage for who knows how long. I knew enough to check, before buying them, that they basically work, but not quite. Smooth movement, (nearly) all relevant parts present, and I did enough research about the makes & models to know they'd be good value & worth repairing. But I don't (didn't!) really grok how a sewing machine works, not well enough to look at the innards & go "ah, there's the problem, just need to XYZ."

Until now. I'm not done watching these, but I managed to hit upon a youtube channel that caters to just exactly my learning style. Historical evolution of sewing machine design informs how they work now? How to look at moving parts and think about how they relate and how changing one will shift other things? Hell yeah, I am fathoming over here. I'm gonna fix up all my machines, and yours too, as long as it ain't got computers in it.

I swear to you all that I will post the green Screamer (it's worse than the gray one!), it's just that right now I have a more urgent project. My Nintendo Pro controller is acting up. I gotta swap out the right joystick module thingy.

Fortunately I already have the part. They're sold in pairs and I swapped out the left one a couple years ago.

Of course this time I had to buy a proper soldering tool, because the one I got before was a crappy cheap one. Which means I spent considerably more on a nice Hakko station than what the Pro controller cost in the first place.

Still, not as bad as the first time I bought a broken Parker Vacumatic and decided to shell out for the special tool you need to remove the back end. By strange chance I have not needed that tool since.

(I have so many tools...)

#if your regular sleep med of choice is Benadryl I’m afraid of you #Idek what my answer is though??? probably melatonin. it helps a lot when I need to fix my sleep schedule #sleep soundly <3333 #I also sometimes take ashwaganda if it’s not too expensive or is mixed w other stuff. and drink sleepy teas but not necessarily JUST tosleep #I was on olanzapine and that helped my sleep a lot (at the cost of eventually making me feel so so tired during the day) #anyways you must tell me

Removing emissions equipment of diesel engined vehicles can increase NOx emissions by up to 300 times.

That’s basically like taking a modern car / truck and making it into a 1980s car / truck. The 80s was rubbish.

Please don’t put that stuff in my lungs.
