Are you working on the car or doing a patch job until you can work on the car?

There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah that hurts just right.

If you think the mechanics you go to aren't cowboys, you're wrong.

If you think the guy who wired up your home wasn't a cowboy, you're wrong.

If you think the guy you would hire to wire up your home now isn't a cowboy, you're wrong.

It's cowboys all the way down.

I've inspected enough homes to realize that the people with the least respect for the dangers of poorly-installed wiring are electricians.

Depends on whether I'm getting paid fam

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Right. I'm just having trouble imagining a scenario that would require a new battery and duct tape but not fasteners of any kind or bolts...

How else do you fix a seat belt anchor

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Going to an auto parts store? If you do that with duct tape then you're going to have a very bad time.
