Have you ever noticed how the toilet is plugged into the wall? Like look at the bottom left that's an exposed socket next to a water-reliant appliance. And I don't see a reset switch on it.

“How the hell am I supposed to work with this bullshit,” Morgan throws their hands up. “What’s wrong with it?” Alex asks, trying this technique Morgan has been teaching them called “using words”. Morgan sharply inhales: “What isn’t wrong with it, that might be easier to list.” They point at a juncture between two multi stranded wires, they seemed to be connected with some sort of silver metal and tied with another metal strap of some kind. “These splices here, first of all, that,” they point at the strap. “Is a hose clamp.” “Like, a rubber hose?” Alex asks. “Yeah, like a rubber hose, i.e. it is not insulating.” “And that's… bad.” Morgan runs a hand over their face. “Yeah you can fucking say that,” they say. “It’s a miracle this place isn’t on fire, we’re doing them a favor it seems. Get me the gloves.”

Have an escooter? Please consider wearing a downhill helmet to protect your face

As someone whose relatives have escooters, and someone who has seen a lot of close calls with strangers, I wanna share a little-known bit of advice for anyone who's looking into escooters, or who already has one:

If you're on an escooter, you get the most protection by wearing a downhill or full-face helmet!

DO NOT GO HELMET-LESS!

By 'downhill' or 'full face', I mean the helmets that bmx riders use, or motorcycle riders wear, respectively. It sounds like overkill but here's the thing:

Escooters have a very high center of gravity because you're upright on them, and they have small wheels that don't absorb impact very well. It's super easy to go over your handle bars if you even hit a tiny pothole! According to this study where 212 patients presented to an emergency room, 11.8% of the patients had dental injuries

A lot of these patients presented with facial lacerations and facial fractures. Overall, 44% of patients needed surgery (5.9% needed major surgery and 38.2% needed minor surgery), and 50% needed maxillofacial follow-up

All 212 patients in this study received a head or face injury. 82% of patients didn't wear a helmet

Some more articles explaining dental injuries from escooter use:

Dental injuries on the rise thanks to e-scooter use

New study from U of A professor warns of dangers of scooter usage

In this Korean study, most patients without a helmet suffered some kind of facial trauma

This isn't just a matter of speed, either. If you're not convinced how often people go over the handlebars at lower speeds too, check out the first 25 seconds of this video by Electric Scooter Guide. That's a lot of faceplants at lower speeds! Or if you want a full playlist of people going over their handlebars, I've got you covered. Again see how many of them are faceplants!

And at higher speeds? It's not good. MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING for gore and death: here you will find a graphic picture of someone who was in an escooter accident, they weren't wearing a helmet and they sadly lost their life

I'll link some reddit posts of close calls where the posters were really glad to be wearing downhill/full face helmets, these are either text-only posts, or simple pics of scratched-up helmets: 1 2 3

Most of these accidents don't even involve other people or vehicles! According to this infographic, 80.2% of escooter accidents are 'falls':

So, now what?

If you don't currently have a helmet and are considering getting one, yay! Your first impulse might be to go out and buy a regular bicycle helmet, but remember: a lot of these injuries happen around your jaw and the front of your face! A bicycle helmet doesn't protect that part! When you fall on an escooter, you're likely to fall in ways that are different from a fall on a bike. So consider a downhill helmet (or a full-face, if you wanna channel your inner motorhead)!

Yeah you'll look dorky, but you'll get home in one piece if you get unlucky on the way there 👍

Alpha Fixers: Your Trusted Partner in Home Maintenance

Why Home Maintenance Matters

Home maintenance is more than just a routine task; it’s a critical aspect of homeownership that ensures your living space remains safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Yet, many homeowners overlook the importance of regular maintenance until a minor issue escalates into a costly repair. At Alpha Fixers, we understand the challenges of maintaining a home, and we’re here to help you prevent problems before they arise.

Common Home Maintenance Problems and How to Fix Them

1. Plumbing Issues: Leaks and Clogs

One of the most common home maintenance challenges is dealing with plumbing issues, such as leaks and clogs. A small leak might seem insignificant, but it can lead to water damage, mold growth, and increased utility bills if left unchecked. Clogged drains, on the other hand, can cause water to back up, leading to unpleasant odors and potential flooding.

Solution: Alpha Fixers offers comprehensive plumbing services that address leaks and clogs efficiently. Our skilled technicians can identify the source of the problem and provide a long-lasting fix, whether it’s repairing a leaking pipe, unclogging a drain, or replacing faulty fixtures. Regular maintenance checks can also help catch these issues early, saving you time and money in the long run.

2. HVAC System Maintenance: Keeping Your Home Comfortable

Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is vital for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. However, without regular maintenance, your HVAC system can become less efficient, leading to higher energy bills and uneven temperatures throughout your home. In worst-case scenarios, neglecting your HVAC system can result in costly repairs or replacements.

Solution: Alpha Fixers provides professional HVAC maintenance services designed to keep your system running smoothly year-round. From cleaning air filters and ducts to inspecting and servicing your furnace or air conditioner, our team ensures that your HVAC system operates at peak efficiency. Regular tune-ups can extend the lifespan of your system and help you avoid unexpected breakdowns.

3. Electrical Problems: Safety First

Electrical issues in the home are not only inconvenient but can also pose serious safety hazards. Common problems include flickering lights, faulty outlets, and tripped circuit breakers. These issues can result from outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or even pests chewing on wires.

Solution: Safety is a top priority at Alpha Fixers. Our certified electricians can diagnose and repair electrical problems quickly and safely. Whether you need to replace old wiring, upgrade your electrical panel, or install new outlets, we have the expertise to handle any job. Regular electrical inspections can also prevent potential fire hazards and ensure your home’s electrical system is up to code.

4. Roof Maintenance: Protecting Your Home from the Elements

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, and keeping it in good condition is essential for protecting your property. Common roofing issues include leaks, missing shingles, and gutter blockages, all of which can lead to water damage and structural problems if not addressed promptly.

Solution: Alpha Fixers offers expert roof maintenance services that include inspections, repairs, and cleaning. Our team can identify weak spots, fix leaks, replace damaged shingles, and clear out gutters to ensure proper drainage. Regular roof maintenance can prevent costly damage and extend the life of your roof, giving you peace of mind.

5. Seasonal Maintenance: Preparing for Weather Changes

Seasonal changes can take a toll on your home, from freezing pipes in the winter to storm damage in the summer. Preparing your home for these changes is crucial to avoiding emergency repairs and maintaining a comfortable living environment year-round.

Solution: Alpha Fixers provides seasonal maintenance services tailored to your home’s specific needs. Whether it’s winterizing your plumbing, inspecting your roof before storm season, or cleaning your gutters in the fall, we help you stay ahead of the weather. Our proactive approach ensures that your home is ready for whatever Mother Nature has in store.

Why home inspection is important

Home inspections are important for several reasons:

Identifying Potential Issues: A home inspection can reveal problems that might not be immediately apparent, such as structural issues, electrical or plumbing problems, or pest infestations. Identifying these issues early can prevent costly repairs in the future. Informed Decision Making: For buyers, a home inspection provides detailed information about the property’s condition, helping them make an informed decision about the purchase. It can also be used as a negotiation tool to request repairs or price adjustments. Safety Assurance: Inspections can identify safety hazards, such as faulty wiring or mold, ensuring that the home is safe for its occupants.

My name is Abdul Qader Abu Ghosh, I am 18 years old, I live in Palestine, Gaza family who is going through difficult times in Gaza.

It has been an endless nightmare for them since October 7, 2023, when the war started.

For more than 300 days, they lived in constant fear, not knowing what each day would bring

His family consists of 8 members.

They lived in a safe and warm home full of beautiful memories. Since the beginning of the war, they have been on the run, moving from one place to another in search of safety.

They are now in the Nuseirat camp, which was the safe place for them during the war, but now there is no safe place for them in the Gaza Strip They are now trying to escape the scourge of war. It is a dangerous and unsafe place, especially for children and the elderly.

They live in a state of oppression and misery and suffer from a lack of food, water, electricity, medicine and all forms of life.

I feel helpless watching his family suffer.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in their lives, especially for children. They are the people most vulnerable to the traumas of war, and every day is a struggle for them.

With your support, we can give them a chance to escape the atrocities they have been subjected to and create a better future.

Please, let's come together and do everything we can to help save these innocent lives from the brink of death and the scars of trauma.

The money raised will be used to help them build a better life for his family after he leaves.

To cover rent, living expenses and education. The campaign will cover the costs of transporting the family outside the borders

We need to raise between $5,000 and $7,000 for each member of his family of 8 to enable them to cross the Rafah border.

And I need other cost to complete my university studies.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering supporting our cause.

Your generosity will make a huge difference to his family.
