There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution
hey, “fixing” can be an umbrella term
Noice. Dad, is that you?🤣
If it’s dumb and it works then it isn’t dumb.
Extra props if you used a wire used to tie cables in electronics packaging, or a wire used to tie a bread bag, although they are probably too flimsy and bread bags now mostly use plastic clips.
This one tied together a 3.5 mm to RCA cable. This one: https://www.kjell.com/se/produkter/ljud-bild/kablar-adaptrar/rca/rca-till-35-mm/clicktronic-ljudkabel-35-mm-till-2x-rca-2-m-p61814
That was an expensive fix. You could have just gotten this instead https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/knalla-paraply-svart-60282332/ ? Or was the cable already broken?
But props for repairing stuff instead of buying new.
You don’t know my umbrella like I do. She’s 100% worth gold plated audio cables. 💍 I wish she had a finger I could put it on.
You know what they say: if my umbrella had a vagina I’d never leave the house.
Ah, I must have missed that part during Bible studies.
I love repairing umbrellas! Even the cheap ones.
I love that you love that! And I love the world, because it’s colorful.
My first thought, a poprivet won’t work because it would compress the connection.
I didn’t find an actual replacement, that sort of cheap, hollow rivet that can be fastened without compressing the joint.
A bent ring of coat hanger wire would probably do the trick. Or, a small split ring.
A Chicago Screw (the rivets in knife handles) or Binding post.
But I find a piece of wire is less effort.
Cotter pin would be my choice
