Are you a guy that can fix things?
Like cars. Appliances or anything. When I was a kid, I thought it was like something that a man had to do. I know now that it’s not. The internet really helps nowadays.

I have carried out many repairs on my assorted cars over the years but nowadays can perform only the simplest and most accessible tasks. That's partly because it is very hard to find proper information, very hard physically to identify and reach anything in the very tightly-packed compartments, and partly because it's no fun trying to work at the roadside in a narrow street!
Other than that I can perform reasonbly simple home repairs but would not attempt to turn a faulty appliance into a ruined one!

One day when I realized I rarely gained anything at all in return for fixing people's computer problems for nothing, I finally learned to say no. Now I say I charge $35 an hour with a 1 hour minimum, cash upfront. Oh and then ask where's their backup of the hard drive. No one ever does backups and they expect magic from you. Their attitude changes fast from expecting free shit for nothing to complete surprise. The daze of sandwiches for dollars are long gone. Like the old saying goes...gas, grass, or a*s - nobody rides for Free! 😂

I can fix some things I used to be able to fix a car or some things in a car but cars have so many computers on them now it’s very hard. I do look up how to fix online and usually about 70% of the time I can fix it.

I still fix a few things, but vehicles are too complicated now. I also refuse to do some plumbing repairs now because it hurts too much to get into and out of tight places like under sinks.

I can fix most things...always have. I like using my hands and hard work is good for a man's soul

A lot of things yes can I fix a shattered lead casing for Uranium 235 maybe not can I do General repairs around the house or some Contracting and also some improvised vehicle repair absolutely. Hell I can even do some basic rewiring and drive a boat up to 50 ft long in a harbor or an Open Water I can do a lot of shit but I'm I an expert at fixing everything not necessarily

In Ukraine it's still like this, all men have to know how to fix stuff. I think a lot of stuff is often done poorly though, probably because only few men actually have any real interest in this stuff.

To a greater extent than many .. You Tube and other internet sources can be a big help if you can weed out the less helpful posts

I can fix things I understand, and most of the things I own I understand very well so yes.

Yeah, the books.
Could get you a car radio for cheap too.
And leather wallets, they have minimal bloodstains.

possibly. I could fix Katy Perry's rocket ship with the factory manual.
