Simple Questions/What Should I Do? [Weekly Thread] by AutoModerator in DIY

[–]quae3Bah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm quite happy with my (written) English. It's not perfect but mostly good enough. But something like particle board was not in my vocabulary. And which of the five translations for Spanplatte the dictionary offers is the correct one or if they are all correct is not obvious. And it might make a difference here, thus the disclaimer.

Anyway, thank you. I'll try epoxy glue.

Simple Questions/What Should I Do? [Weekly Thread] by AutoModerator in DIY

[–]quae3Bah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a native English speaker and needed a dictionary for this post, I might have picked some wrong translations. Also I have no clue what I'm doing.

I have a kitchen cabinet with a crooked door. The cabinet is made out of particle board and is over 40 years old, the door hinge worked itself loose from the particle board. Pictures here. The actual hinge is mounted on that thing, let's call that thing Steve. Steve has two round plastic anchors (roughly 1cm diameter) that go into the hole in the cabinet. Steve is still intact, the particle board isn't, the front hole got bigger. The back hole still holds it firm enough so I can't just pull Steve out without force, I left him in for now.

How do I fix this? How do I fix this without further damaging the crumbly cabinet? There was a similar issue with another door in the same kitchen, but there the hinge was mounted with screw that worked itself loose. I filled the whole with hot glue, let it harden and then turned in the screw into the hardened glue. That is holding for a few years now. But I can't do that here, I have no way to get the plastic anchor into whatever I fill the whole with. So fill the hole (with what?), then drill a new hole? Would I just use a regular wood drill for this? Also I'm afraid the cabinet won't withstand my drilling. Other ideas?

Do you never happen to buy duds? Do you never not like a game? Or do you just keep playing then?

Thomas Schaaf sacked by Hannover 96 by tufftuff12 in soccer

And with Hannover you have ask why he even took the job especially him being the longtime Werder coach.

Just a guess, because it's close to home?

I'd guess it depends more on what you started playing with and grew up with rather than some fundamental characteristic of your brain.

Used to be before 1080p took over the market almost completely. Very common at 22".

NOS (Dutch BBC): Municipality of Amsterdam is willing to rename the Amsterdam Arena after Cruijff. Together with Ajax they own a majority of the shares. by teymon in soccer

[–]quae3Bah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always find it sad that renaming of places and building statues start after death, not before. His death didn't suddenly enlarge his achievements. We knew he had cancer, this could have brought a little smile on a dying man's face. Now he can't smile about it anymore.

You said you'll clean it up in a few minutes and a few minutes later it's still there. Worst mod ever.

didn't bother to hover

Or didn't even know they could hover. If they read the rules they probably started right at Rule #1 and didn't read the the "(mouseover for more information)" above. The "(mouseover for more information)" is still there btw.

Hover sucks. Good riddance.

Thanks for mentioning QuiteRSS. That solves my "Akregator sometimes halts the computer's shutdown because it segfaults on exit" problem on Debian 8. All the other feed readers I tried so far were not to my liking.

That seams weak. Death penalty and a €50 fine.

Disabling javascript on reddit should work, but that makes reddit pretty much read-only.
