Michal BryxíIn IT we often times (mis)use the term “best practice” to things that actually mean “that’s how it’s always been done and although it would benefit the users, it’s too much faff for us to fix”. Is there a pun-eable way to say this?

Skim Shady (331.36 ppm)@scenicroutes is one of my favorite bike shops. They completely refurbish and custom build 80s-90s MTB into commuter/tourers. So many useful bikes are gathering dust and forgotten in garages everywhere and they do them up right. I saved 12 from the landfill last summer and have already rescued two this year
They are good neighbors in San Fransisco and their shop always welcoming and I enjoy their newsletter #BikeTooter #fixit #repair #bikecommuting

How to Recycle Old Electric Appliances and Devices: Creative Tips
by Kim, September 2, 2024
"The junk drawer in the kitchen. The forgotten cupboard in the garage. Or even that cluttered space under the bed. Most of us have some nook or cranny stuffed with old electric appliances and devices. The average UK household is believed to contain at least 20 unused gadgets. We’ve all got them—outdated phones, a blender that no longer blends, or a laptop that’s long since passed its prime. But what should we do with these unwanted electronic items? Simply chucking them into the bin is not the answer. Let’s explore creative and responsible ways to recycle and repurpose old electronics."

#OakPark Saturday, April 11, 2026 - Oak Park Fix-It Cafe
Every 2nd Saturday/mo @ 11am-2pm
at Community Shop Class, 3818 Stockton Blvd
(turn into parking lot behind between Community Shop Class and Luigi’s)
"Neighbors sharing with neighbors, since 2017.
#Bicycles. #Clothes. #Lamps. Tools. #SmallAppliances. #KnifeSharpening. Computer Consultation
(Almost) Anything is Fixable.
Oak Park Fix-It Cafe is a group of community members who gather once a month to hang out, help anyone with any needed repairs, and (sometimes) even learn a new skill or two!
Come join your neighbors as we share what we have to fix what we need. Or just come as you are, take a load off, have a cup o’ joe and a cookie, and maybe make some new friends. If you need to just relax with friends, we’re here for that. If you want to get your hands a little dirty, we can help there, too.
This is always FREE, and always for EVERYONE—no matter your housing status, language or background."
