And here’s the chat:
10:07:00 From Alvin : Great message, especially at this time of year. Thank you Jessika!
10:07:56 From Jessika Richter, RC Malmö/Lund, Sweden : if you want to make saffrom buns on tomorrow/Monday for a bit of Lucia day where you are: https://visitsweden.com/what-to-do/food-drink/recipes/saffronbuns-aka-lussekatter-recipe/
10:08:36 From Natalie - Brampton Library, ON, CA : Thanks for the recipe, Jessika! I'm excited to try these!
10:08:53 From Alvin : That recipe uses deciliters, interesting
10:10:11 From Mark Edwards - Ottawa, ON, Canada : I think that the recipe must be wrong - 2.5 dl = 25 liters. That is a lot of milk....
10:10:14 From Wayne Seltzer - Boulder U-Fix-It-Clinic, Colorado, USA : cabinet door photo:

10:10:45 From Alvin : This recipe will feed a small town @Mark :D
10:11:12 From Jessika Richter, RC Malmö/Lund, Sweden : I think it is meant to be 1 cup from when I made them in the past :)
10:11:25 From Alvin : @Sadzida, have you considered using enamel/oil based paint? Would make a more durable finish and create a smoother surface to clean
10:12:24 From Wayne Seltzer - Boulder U-Fix-It-Clinic, Colorado, USA : https://www.hunker.com/13418706/how-to-repair-kitchen-cabinet-doors-with-particleboard-swelling
10:12:45 From Jessika Richter, RC Malmö/Lund, Sweden : motorized standing desk Kelly International Corp Electrical Desk. Motor Kit is KFD-P-02 standing desk mechanism stopped working (it only goes down, not up)
10:16:06 From Alvin : Some standing desks have an anti-collision sensor, could be stuck @Sadzida?
10:18:59 From Jessika Richter, RC Malmö/Lund, Sweden : may be 93MWPS 2011 or earlier it won't swing ( only for two three minutes) even with even its winded
10:20:46 From Sadzida Traynor-Herenda GBR London : @Alvin yes the desk stopped working when it got stuck on some boxes underneath
10:29:27 From Wayne Seltzer - Boulder U-Fix-It-Clinic, Colorado, USA : Plantronics model #?
10:29:31 From Alvin : @Frances could be a dead battery, charging doesn't mean the battery is actually holding a charge.
10:29:44 From Jessika Richter, RC Malmö/Lund, Sweden : Bluetooth earbud Plantronics Marque2 m165 2014 The device was in a jacket pocket and mistakenly went through the washing machine and dryer cycle. The red charging light flashes when plugged in. But no sound (such as voice prompts) can be heard from the device. It also does not connect via bluetooth - not casting.
10:29:57 From Mark Edwards - Ottawa, ON, Canada : does it finish charging?
10:30:10 From Peter Mui Fixit Clinic Berkeley CA USA (he series) : plantronics Marque2 m165
10:30:39 From stephen Adams London UK : battery or circuit has got wet, needs drying out before charging
10:31:55 From Mark Edwards - Ottawa, ON, Canada : Probably spot welded originally
10:32:19 From Wayne Seltzer - Boulder U-Fix-It-Clinic, Colorado, USA : Plantronics marque 2 disassembly and look inside
https://youtu.be/X2YF9vvFZHA
10:32:30 From stephen Adams London UK : you can use resin glue to put it back together
10:32:50 From Sadzida Traynor-Herenda GBR London : could you wrap some wire around to make a make shift handle. I did that for a similar thing.
10:32:58 From Sadzida Traynor-Herenda GBR London : if you can't find a welder
10:33:22 From Mark Edwards - Ottawa, ON, Canada : Depending on the solder, it can be set to melt well above the boiling point of water.
10:33:24 From stephen Adams London UK : it is not that hot for a resin to melt
10:33:25 From Mike : careful thart this is not aluminum or a cast of that. Try Sugru as an adhesive
10:34:14 From stephen Adams London UK : you can use a bit of thick copper wire to wind round the complete cup to make a new holder
10:36:04 From Gregg Ferry : for the tea infuser, fashion. Yes, fashion a loop out of wire.
10:36:22 From Bill Cary. NC : JB WELD makes "glue" for metal objects
10:37:48 From Gregg Ferry : Bill Carey, that's what I was thinking, but JB Weld gives up after a few years.
10:39:09 From Alvin (Toronto, Canada) : I can't tell from the picture @Angeline, but what keeps the center guide level...?
10:39:26 From Alvin (Toronto, Canada) : There's a mount point at the front, but nothing at the back
10:40:21 From Alvin (Toronto, Canada) : Agreeing with Mike, right one is definitely not level - if you have a 12" or so Level Bar, will help you balance it
10:40:48 From bob walker san francisco ca usa : Are there holes in the sides of the drawer?
10:42:19 From Bill Cary. NC : the twist may be just the camera veiw
10:43:02 From Peter Mui Fixit Clinic Berkeley CA USA (he series) : copper ground wire from 12/2 romex might work well
10:43:19 From Bill Cary. NC : definitely needs to be tightened up and the center rail may be bent
10:56:36 From Alvin (Toronto, Canada) : Did the breakout rooms close early...?
10:56:50 From Sadzida Traynor-Herenda GBR London : I got kicked out of my breakout room. Was that supposed to happen?
10:57:20 From Alvin (Toronto, Canada) : The breakout rooms timed out, we were pulled out
10:57:26 From Erin (she/her) - Brampton Library, ON, Canada : they've disappeared
11:18:52 From Peter Mui Fixit Clinic Berkeley CA USA (he series) : https://www.ampr.org/grantmaking-categories-requirements-goals/
