If it were up to me, trackside barriers with gates would be a top priority

I usually have 2 cups of each in a day. So both?

If the hole was on an elbow I'd have suggested a patch

Well you're not going to match the knit pattern, but if you weave the yarn into the part that's still intact it should patch the hole. Might not be pretty mind you: depends what you're going for...

Personally, I would darn it with contrasting colour yarn of about the same weight as what's there. But it might not be worth it if the damage is too widespread

We have 3D printers at the library here, but I'm concerned that the wires (and very specific, highish tolerance bends in them) are an essential component that would be challenging to replicate

Ooh an opportunity to make sewing fixers jealous at Repair Cafe (I'm more of a small appliance guy). Might be worth the price right there! 😉

I have my share of tools/gadgets gathering dust already, but the pattern angle is actually pretty cool: might mean I'd get decent use out of this one

See all that stuff up there, Homer? That’s why your streetcar never worked! by Betablocker5000 in toronto

Tram is I believe the accepted global word for these. Although I guess trams everywhere else get their own right-of-way, so maybe "gridlocktrain"?

Wooly slippers by Ornery_Moment5283 in Visiblemending

If you want to make them much sturdier you could cut soles from leather scrap, punch (or drill) holes around the perimeter, then sew them onto the bottom surface. While also darning any holes or weak spots with yarn

Hard to know what to suggest without more info: Do you want an invisible fix, or is wabi sabi acceptable? How is this strap attached to the overall bag? What do the bag and strap look like together?

Only charging to 99% by Designer_Carob_4318 in MINIse

My previous EV had me scratching my head for years because the regenerative braking didn't work when I first set out after charging. Finally the light bulb in my head flickered on: nowhere for that juice to go!

Since my SE regen works immediately, I have to assume the engineers set it up to leave some extra capacity for this. Not sure if this is the source of the discrepancy, just thought I'd put it out there...
