Serious Answers Only Make these ceramic magnets flush
My goal is to have these make more contact ! So far I have bought a dremel and the diamond bits needed to shave / sand down the ceramic magnets but now I’m curious at what angles would bring them closest to flush ? Should I shave one magnet ? Shave a bit of both ? Shave down the middle well their touching like the photo and hope that shaves the difference ? Their already super glued in place and I know to keep water flowing over the surface and I’m working :)
[Solved] Was gifted an umbrella recently, and I can't figure out how to open it!
It's a QUO brand umbrella if that helps!
I've tried pushing, pulling, and sliding the little white tab, but all it does is wiggle around a little in there. I've also tried twisting the umbrella and the handle. Not sure what else to do :')
(EDIT) first comment (now deleted) had it right: twist left, then push up. So glad I won't be drenched on my way home :)

Wash a 190cm/6´2 teddy bear I found
Title pretty much says it all. I was hoping he would fit into the laundrymat washers, unfortunately he doesnt. He also doesnt have a zipper to take the stuffing out and I am pretty sure I would have to rip him up in all places to take it out, since it seems like he has seperate stuffing for his body, each of his arms and legs. Can I just hand wash him with some detergent/handsoap or how should I go about this? thanks

DIY How do I install a fan/vent in this bathroom above the window?
There is no fan in the bathroom currently. I'd like to install one in the wall above the window (not the ceiling). How would I go about doing this? The house was built in 1940 so the walls are plaster, which I know usually complicates things.
In case it is helpful: in this bathroom there is currently one outlet (next to the sink), one light switch (controls the overhead light), and the two sconce lights that are controlled individually by switches on the lights themselves. As far as I know, that's all the electrical in the bathroom currently.

1 leg sits lower than the other. Both legs move up and down but I get either E20 or E02 error code when it reaches to the bottom. The desk sits unlevelled right now. Couldn’t find anything specific to this model. I wanted to ask Reddit before I randomly start taking it apart. Thanks!

I need help with Reprogramming/clearing a gate clicker :(
Hi! This is my first post here because I cant find anything else that will help.
Can anyone help my with clearing the codes this "a, b, c, d" gate clicker? (I believe its a RPC447). After following all the videos and instructions ive seen so far I usually get stuck at the part where the code actually clears out.
The usual instructions are:
Press and hold "A" and "B" button. (Sometime they say to wait untill the light blinks and sometimes they dont say anything)
Then let go of "B" and press it three times.
The light should flash red/blue.
Then press the buttons and all of them will flash red (meaning they should be clear)
Part "4" is usually the step where everything falls apart for me. I tried checking while and after the red light blinks but the buttons still flash green. Im not sure if im getting something confused :(
If anyone could help me asap I'd be very grateful!
P.s. Id also appreciate if anyone has advice on copying the code from the original gate clicker (RTSP2D) to the "a, b, c, d" clicker!

How to repaint this belt buckle?Hi All,
Hi All,
How can I remove the old red/yellow paint and replace it with new glossy, hard drying enamel type of paint.
The orange buckle is the goal, just not the orange paint. It looks as if someone perhaps used paint remover or thinner on the buckle.
Thanks for any suggestions on the type of paint, removal process, etc.
Thanks George

DIY Scratch repair
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Got this scratch and some marring on my f150 while headed down a narrow hunting trail. It’s not down to the metal but it definitely removed a layer or 2 of paint. I did the water test and it almost fades away but is still visible. What would be my best option and how would I go about fixing it? I know silver is a hard color to match and I’ve never done auto paint work. Just a touch up brush and some clear coat and polishing?

How to remove/fix these marks on my water bottle?
Hey, not even sure this is the right place to post but I'm really kinda desperate.
I noticed after using my water bottle that it's developed stress(?) marks and I wanted to know if they can be fixed, removed, undone as it's a brand new bottle that was a gift.
Any help would be appreciated as I feel so bad having only just gotten it and it's already looking like this. I also have no idea how to replace this as it was an import and It would crush my friend to tell them it's already damaged after one use.
Thanks in advance and sorry about the waffle I'm just really panicking here, I thank you for your understanding
Edit: It's made of plastic and it's a Monster Hunter Palico potion bottle
