    sometimes it’s not about solving the immediate problem, but about making sure it doesn’t happen again.

    (literally “fixed” my alarm clock this week after it’s plug broke off in the outlet by giving it a $10 right angle plug that won’t be under any significant strain.)

      Sometimes it’s about learning to fix things more than it is about fixing the thing.

      I regularly just take shit apart when it fails even if i have no intention of fixing it.
