inRemember when you could just buy a phone and own it?
Ugh, that's the worst. My buddy had this older tablet that was perfect for reading, then an update made it so slow it was unusable. He tried everything to roll it back but they'd locked it down. It just sat in a drawer after that, which feels like such a waste. Makes you not want to update anything, but then you get those security warning pop-ups all the time. They really have you stuck either way.

inTried using a dab of super glue to hold a tiny aperture lever in place while I worked
Oh man, that's the worst. I once used a drop of rubber cement for something like that on an old radio dial. Held it just long enough to get the spring in, then peeled right off when I was done. Worked like a charm.

inMy trowel snapped clean in half during a dig last Tuesday.
Right @violatorres, why is durability now a luxury?

inMy old Hobart mixer finally gave up the ghost during a holiday rush
Actually pushing your car out of the drive-thru sounds kind of lucky. You got a clear path to a parking spot and avoided a tow truck bill. My mixer died right as I started a double batch of bread for a party, so I had to knead it all by hand for forty minutes. That felt way more personal, like my own kitchen turned on me. At least with a car you can call for help and everyone gets why you're stuck.
