We're currently fostering some puppies. As the room they're in doesn't have very good insulation (and we open the windows because they stink), we have this radiator room heater.Well, being the destructive puppies that they are, they chewed up the cord and the heater no longer works... or at least it didn't until about 10 minutes ago when I replaced the cord.I looked it up, these heaters go for at least $70 and I was able to fix it with about $10 of supplies from my local hardware store!

@riderexmachina and now one of those puppies is addicted to 110V AC! This is a super hero origin story in the making, folks!

This is why I'm all for Right to Repair. I save $60 by knowing what I needed to grab (lamp cord, a socket, and some adaptors), gave money to a local business, and--because I rode my bike--was even able to get some exercise!Not to mention, I feel like I've actually *gotten stuff done* instead of just having another lazy Sunday.

@chanon I'm changing one of their names to Krypto in the hopes they'll start flying

@riderexmachina @chanon buy some pvc pipe to slip over the cord so they can't chew it again.
