That's the thing though, you don't live in a world where reduction of waste is a priority. We're consumers, and profits are made on our consumption. If we can be convinced that a replacement is better than a repair more profits are made.It's about 5 years old but it's hardly been used, I just ordered the part tonight. We're in a world where we are trying to reduce waste, I doubt the repair would have been economical if I had got service people out at $133/hr.

The skill of the welder is irrelevant; it is impossible to avoid heat-related issues when working with a process that is fundamentally based on very high temperature! Aluminium is particularly sensitive to heat-induced stress. In some alloys it can be largely ironed out by baking (heat treating) the entire component, but others become so brittle, even after baking that they're essentially unweldable.I meant you have to be a damn good welder to do it in a way that wont introduce heat related issues and have it as strong (or preferably stronger) than it used to be. I'm only passably ok with a MIG on steel, but I know enough to know its way beyond my skill set to do something like that and beyond most basic welders.
People give the arms industry a hard time but people are still finding functionable landmines and unexploded bombs from as far back as World War 2 and I never hear of any of the Mexican drug cartels complaining about faulty Ak-47's.That's the thing though, you don't live in a world where reduction of waste is a priority.

Generally those involved in a gunfight don't get to complain about faulty weapons afterwards. Very lucky people if they do.I never hear of any...drug cartels complaining about faulty Ak-47's.
I hear you.View attachment 376185
This is how I feel about our washing machine right now. Pump died one month out of a 2 year warranty and Euromaid are being dicks about it.
Our Samsung dishwasher died not long out of warranty too, but they honoured warranty because it was a known issue with condensation getting into the control panel.
Edit: Westinghouse fridge still going strong after 15 years. Have needed to replace the light bulb for about 8 or 9 years but whatever, I can see what's in there well enough!
There is a stretch here in the waterfront promenade that is closed off for construction. There is very clear signage about the area being closed to pedestrians and that they should cross the road to the perfectly good footpath...but fuck me if those dumb cunts ignore it and wander their fat arses along the stretch of road in any direction they choose and cause all manner of problems for me riding along. I'm not above issuing a bit of safety advice from time to time...Given I’m stuck riding endless tarmac laps in Melbourne’s lock down, this one in particular gets me - the dude who is too good to run on the perfectly good walking or running track, and has to run in the bike lane on the road. Might be a coincidence but they seem to like wearing visors and corporate triathlon tops.

Yes.Humans just should fuck off.
Had a bit of those feels today.Humans just should fuck off.
Those mother fuckers...I recommend the headlong charge accompanied by a loud scream of something like "charrrrrrrrrrrrge!"or perhaps "traaaaaaaaacl", shit maybe even "stravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"!!!! I would like to know how they respond.Had a bit of those feels today.
Out for a lockdown ride, a zillion other people with the same idea. Fair enough, we're all in this together etc. etc. but the amount of people with zero self-awareness (and didn't have overstimulated dogs or kamikaze children as an excuse) was surprising. One memorable occasion I had to swerve off a gravel path because four fat middle aged flogs needed to ride up it tandem taking up all the path in the process.
That would require skills.Pull a wheelie, they'll move every time
