Broken speakers??

I broke my speakers. Accidentally pulled my turntable while I was still attached to the speakers and it pulled one of the two speakers off the shelf... The wire came out of the other speaker. Can I fix it? Looks like if I pull the tabs down on the left speaker I can reinsert the wire but I want to be sure, I'm not techy at all

How to start learning to drive?

I’ve driven a bit before about 10 years ago. I’m 24 now.

I have ADHD, this is a huge fear of mine, that I will get distracted for a moment and I will crash into someone. It’s almost happened a time or two, so please do not tell me it’s all in my head. I genuinely need advice on driving and how to cope with my ADHD while I am driving.

Thank you all for helping me, I really appreciate your insight.

What can I install on my frameless shower to keep water in?

I have a frameless shower but everytime I open the door, the water on the curb drags out from the suction of the door sweep. I tried installing a threshold but the issue was worst than if I didn’t install it.

The slope is correct. It’s 1/4” pitched towards the shower

How should I go about cleaning the lower part of the gear shifter?

I dropped little bits of weed in the space where I circled. I cleaned all the bits that were easy to reach using tweezers and a moist paper towel, but some of them fell into the space that the shifter goes into.

Moving away from roaches help

Our apartment is infested with roaches, I’m not sure how bad it is to scale due to this being my first apartment; however we are doing weekly sprays and our lease is done in September but I am seriously stressing how to move without bringing them with. Currently all our kitchen stuff is in cardboard boxes due to the sprays we’re getting, but I know how they love cardboard and paper.

Some solutions I’ve found are plastic moving boxes ($$$) and using heat. We are planning on bugbombing our furniture but what else can we do to prevent bringing them?

Help with stain on chair

Hey all! I have this faux leather chair that I put a cat blanket on that had these small silicon nubs on it to prevent sliding, but, somehow, that created a pattern on the seat of the chair. Can anyone help me figure out how to remove this or am I SOL?

Wasps not falling for bait?

Hi,

I have put on the bait solution in hanging jar but noticing wasps living just above it are not even falling for the bait. Any ideas?

My solution recipe is

1 portion of water

2 TBSP sugar

1 portion of apple juice

little bit of apple cider vinegar and 2 drop of soap liquid.

Wasps are not even trying to get into it, which means they aren't getting attracted towards it. Any help is appreciated.

How to remove this stain on the hood of my car.

First time car owner here. I bought a 2nd hand car and for some reason didn’t notice this right away. I already tried the vinegar+water with no success. I already asked around and was told that it would cost almost $500 to have this fixed. Is there a DIY option or a more affordable cleaner that I could use to remove this? Thank you in advance 🙏🏽

How to certain what size of cam lock I need?

I want to buy the replacement cam lock for my cabinets. First time doing it by myself.

After checking the products on Amazon, I don't have any idea for choosing. I don't know which size I need.

Is it enough to measure the sturdy latch, plate thickness and keyhole diameter?

Are there any sizes that are suitable for most cabinets? I really need help! Thanks.
