Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.
What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?

I think mechanical failure is different than an electrical failure. Plastic and metal breaking is harder to fix than the electrical for a grill, which shouldn't be much more than a power cord, a resistor dial, a switch, and a heating element.
You are right, of course. Also repetitive thermal expansion comes into play here. We can compare it with repairing a broken heating element or other single part, instead of replacing it. My patience to properly glue it was also part of failure, hehe.
