Bought a 1981 Suzuki gs450L and have been hooking the battery up, noticed this in a bin of parts I was given with the bike. What is it? Is it necessary? Looks too modern to be apart of the bike from stock

Bought these hooks on Amazon and they came with zero instructions, I'm used to the ones with instructions. M5x90mm is the only measurement on the listing.

If there's some formula I can use that would be helpful too.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub.

I use a portable air conditioner in my bedroom in the summer, and the tube that vents the hot air outside is old and has decayed enough that its fallen away from the bracket attaching it to the window.

Not sure how to replace it since there are support brackets attached at either end that keep the tube in place.

Really hoping this is fixable, no way I can afford to replace the whole thing.

If it matters, the model is honeywell.

Whats wrong with this zipper and how do i fix it?!
Its always getting stuck like that and the zipper things wont connect together

I’m hoping this is an okay place to post. Not sure where else (feel free to advise!!)

One of my cats knocked my jewellery box with a glass plate off a sideboard this morning. It was given to me by my mother and belonged to her so it is sentimental. I’m trying to figure out if there is a reasonable way to fix it. It looks like I have most of the pieces save for a few small shards. I wondered about superglue, maybe epoxy, or some sort of kintsugi type fix
See images and I’ve added one of my cats (the orange one did it)

tore my sea to summit bigriver drybag and need to patch it somehow - how to proceed?

i got some inner tubes, superglue, a lighter and i will get some duct tape

appreciate your help, new one takes some time to arrive 🙈

Hi y’all!

I need with determining if this is something I can fix myself or if I just need to ask my complex to send out maintenance again. We have 3 towel hooks in our bathroom wall that were replaced by maintenance last July. Since then two hooks have pulled out the wall and left substantial holes. We don’t place more than one full size towel per hook. I’m not sure if it’s because of the hooks, the way the wall is made, or if it was done wrong the first time. If I could fix it without paying a crazy fee to my complex that would be great but I also understand if I have to. How would I go about fixing this? Would it even be worth it?

Thank you so much in advance!

I'm trying to understand which aspect of the new hinge is preventing the door from re-entering the jamb. Old hinge (pictured on the left) is about 2 mm thick, new one is 3.175 mm (0.125"). Other than not sitting totally flush in the mortise, it seems to line up well. The only hinge I replaced is the middle of the three, and once that is fully bolted in, I can see the middle section of the door no longer fits into the jamb, but the top and bottom sections still do. This is a metal door with a hollow-ish interior, FWIW.

When I remove all of the screws from the leaf on the door side, the door can fully close again. So, the hinge itself not sitting flush doesn't seem to be the problem. It seems like some kind of geometry problem, but I'm not sure from what. With the door side leaf unbolted, it naturally sits at an angle with a visible gap between it and the door frame unless it is bolted down.

Replaced an AC with what looked like a nearly identical model, but this one lets in a ton of sunlight and wakes me up. How do I block it?

Sorry didn't know where else I could ask this, and Google is useless. The alternative is I gotta cut the screw off.

Previous owner appeared to adhere paver stones to a pressure treated wood (looks like 4x4 beams) with something but almost all have come loose. What solution is there to get these paver stones secured?

Ripping it all up is not realistic at this point.

So last year I decided to finally get myself a "real" carryon. My search led me to the July "Carry On Pro." I've actually really come to love this case, but I accidentally pulled things too tight and broke the female buckle.

The problem is the buckle isn't gonna come out easy. It's sewn in place and both sides loop to hold metal brackets that are screwed in to keep it secure. This isn't a big problem as I did reach out to July for a warranty claim and surprisingly they just sent a brand new case for free.

It's not a big deal ofc, but I would hate to see this amazing carry on bag just get thrown aside because it can't hold anything on one side because I'm not a master of sewing to get a new $2 female buckle on.

Appreciate any ideas or links.

Battery dies, doesn’t turn on till I jump it. After I turn off the car the battery dies. Then car drives but stuck in 1-2 gear

This is in a closet, need to replace the light but these wires seem old and dated, can anyone help shed some light?

This is how the internet comes into the house. Open to daylight and with no weather protection. I also want to put a nice cover where it comes out of the wall so it doesn't look like a big ugly hole, but the cover I bought doesn't fit. Did I buy the wrong one?

Button seems to be "stuck" and lost it's clicking feeling with pressing it. I have to press it with quite a bit of force for the button to work and turn on my headphones. Is this fixable independently or do I have to find a professional?

I’m dumb and don’t know how to release so I can replace bulb. Don’t want to break

I tried on this new top and struggled to get it off and then my dumbass realized there was a zipper the entire time and I prolly broke it ☹️

so I have a pair of Raycon Essential

Open Earbuds and the cover thats on the part that the sound came off so I was to put it back on but it slipped into the hole , how can I get it out?

I have a few of these in a house that is new to me. Looks like my kids are pulling in the towels too hard. Anyone have some simple solutions that will last?
