Yeah, but you didn’t have to leave the house, which is worth a lot.

True. It isn’t always about a cost/labour analysis. Sometimes I want to repair something to learn how to do it. Sometimes I want to repair something because even though ‘my time is valuable’, I hate the idea of throwing out something I know will rot in the landfill for a thousand years. Sometimes I’m just attached to the thing and afraid I won’t find a replacement that is as good (which is often the case).

I hate our throwaway culture, it’s good to know how to fix things even if it isn’t technically ‘cost effective’ to do so.

I still have my CRT TV still open due I do not have the time to buy a 16v capacitor. Has been like, 2 weeks now. Wow. I need to fix it
