    Deadish Compressor

    They are usually so cheap to replace that I change them as a first step and then go further if that doesn't solve the problem.

    hearing

    When my wife doesn't hear me clearly, it's because I'm "not speaking loudly/clearly enough". When I don't hear her, I'm not "listening properly".

    But at least you could buy spare parts to fix said electrics. Diode rectifiers for alternators on my Capri were in constant demand.

    Prepping a soot-stained wall prior to repainting

    This may not be completely applicable in your case as you need to repaint, but oven or BBQ cleaner will get it off. I spent a very uncomfortable 3 days recently cleaning 200 years worth of wood soot off my limestone inglenook fireplace. Oven cleaner, kitchen roll and a stiff brush worked...

    "Oily Glue" - is this a breakthrough, or just more Superglue?

    Isopon body filler - what a 'con' !

    Isn't there a small tube of hardener in the lid? If so, then that counts towards the volume.

    Wild fires in BC Canada.

    If there is an upside to this, it's that we are now more able to adjust our way of life/habitats to the changing climate. Of course it will still hurt, but it shouldn't be an extinction event for all. Only some..........
