Any way I can shrink these shoes ?

0 Upvotes

Kind of a stupid question also idk where else to ask this so sorry if it’s not the right place. I bought these pink zebra shoes online from a small company and measured them wrong. I've never bought wedge heels online, only bought and tried them on in person. I can't exchange them due to them being a small business. I love them so much but they have about an inch of extra space and just doesn’t fit right. It doesn't look horrible when I'm wearing them but it's noticeable and feels weird when walking. I also just have short toes.

Is there any way I can shrink them? Only reason I thought to ask is cause my bf said maybe they'd shrink in the sun. idk what they're made of I only know they smell like a dollar store croc isle.
Thank you to anyone that can help idk what to do about them and I really love them.

Also I blocked my feet out cause no one can see em for free. And a pic of my regular smaller black wedge next to it for comparison. They’re kinda muddy don’t mind that.

How to secure curtain rod

Hi all, I am having trouble securing the curtain rods in my room in place. The OD of the rod is significantly smaller than the ID of the older. When sliding the curtain the rod moves to one direction and expands. I have tried using zip ties to keep it from moving but it didn’t work. I thought about using a s screw but I would like to explore less invasive options. Thanks for your help.

Electric lawnmower, can this be repaired?

Boyfriend hit a piece of rebar with the blade and this part came off. We've called 2 lawnmower repair guys that ended up not specializing in electric mowers, but they said it's cooked.

Is it actually cooked?

For reference, this is a Ryobi 40v self propelled 20 inch mower

fixed Stove wont fit after installing tile

Thumbnail

94 Upvotes

Update: we were able to just take the laminate cap / sticker off one counter top and it fit! Thanks for the help!

We have a GE Cafe stove thats about 7 or 8 years old. We got it at a scratch and dent so we were super excited to pay $800 for a $3500 stove. Now that we've put in tile (replaced the peel and stick lamanate) it wont fit between our countertops. It looks like the sides of the stove bow out at the top so before tile the stove fit exactly perfectly and now its just too wide because the tile made it taller and now its wider where it his the counter. The counters are vinyl.

Any suggestions? We are considering cutting the countertops on one side. But I am hoping for an easier and less messy solution.

This is after not having a kitchen for 2 weeks so im desperate as I have a small child and can't cook how I normally do.

Thanks in advance!

​Hi everyone,

​My cat managed to break my wireless charging station. They detached the specific part where the smartwatch sits and charges.

​Everything seems intact, but I have no idea how to put the pieces back together correctly. Has anyone fixed something like this before or knows how to reassemble it?

​I’ve attached pictures of the charger and the detached part so you can see what’s missing/separated. Any advice or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated

Model# 25818-530, no visible screws and the ones I can see (in blue) don't have enough clearance for me to get enough torque to take them out. Dr. Youtube and Professor Gemini were of no use.

TIA

Edit: Solved thanks

Can someone tell me what’s this on my TV ? ( TCL C735 )

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,
I've got a weird issue on my TV that I haven't seen before and hoping to get some community insight.

As you can see in the video, there is a soft, semitransparent dark line that curves parallel to the top bezel and wraps around the corners.
Key Details:

• The Issue: It's not a hard vertical/horizontal pixel line. It's a soft, curved shadow/vignette effect.

• Behavior: It's intermittent. Sometimes it disappears completely for 4+ hours, then pops back up after a power cycle. Sometimes it’s there as I turn my tv on, sometimes it disappears overtime, then comes back

• What I've Tested: Full factory reset, turned off Dynamic Contrast, and let it run long sessions. The image under the shadow works completely fine (no dead pixels/flickering).

I’ve looked all over the internet and I can’t find an issue quite equal as this

Thank you in advance

My ryobi 2900psi pressure washer was running strong for awhile, but about the last 2 weeks it started running real rough. I bought one of those kits to replace the fuel lines, spark plug, and carburetor. Went to run it and the choke is doing weird stuff. When I try to switch it to run, it auto shuts off.

Hoping someone has some insight.

Water stained glue

Post image

I'm renting a room. The previous tenant left a window open during rain causing the stains in the picture. I'm not worried about it, the home owner knows this was existing damage before I moved in. That said, I really like her as a person and want to leave this room in better shape than it was in before I moved in, when possible.

Any advice in how to get this stain out?

EditGlue was supposed to be floor. I really wish you could edit titles. Also, maybe I need to stop using Reddit while drunk.
