    Participate in a free community repair event, where volunteer fixers will help you learn how to repair your broken or slow devices - and tackle the growing mountain of e-waste.

    Keep in mind that some people are not actually interested in fixing their own things, they may not be able to because of disabilities too.

    Informally I’m the guy in my hood who fixes shit, neighbors bring things to me all the time. Been doing it for years, only one person has shown any real interest in learning about it though. I always try to say “If it happens again, you can do this” if I think it’s safe for them to do so.

    Some will take the initiative, some won’t. I also don’t want someone unqualified to just start poking around on Mains voltage or with powerful motors.



  • For crispness you want very underripe green, they aren’t sweet though. These are great with a dusting of salt, dried chili, and a squeeze of lime.

    As you have noticed they tend to ripen unevenly. If I want them sweet I still get green, for the crispy goodness, then toss them while still hot with a little powdered sugar or honey, and a pinch of salt.

    I love some ripe plantain, but it doesn’t make good chips because the sugar content is to high. They just scorch.
