Please help, can’t find any twisting mechanism or anything to open it…

I tried twisting, pulling, but can’t seem to get to the actual spout itself

No brand name on the bottom. As the bottle says, it’s free from Googe’s I/O conference.

Found this guide: https://imgur.com/a/logitech-g735-battery-removal-guide-0QmtXoc online but I can't seem to do the second part about removing the part below the cushion. It is possibly urgent because it just died on me and has been getting increasingly hot, I feel like the battery might be burning in there and I need to disconnect it, please help!

Looking to repair this snow globe after it leaked around the globe. I was thinking of cleaning out the old what looks like hot glue and using e6000 to reseal. Should I refill the globe? Should I use another glue? Any advise would be helpful I am know I am overthinking this.

How do I build a staff like this fir my child's Halloween costume?

I am using a piece of pvc pipe, and have been trying to use Crayola Model Magic for the details. Picture 2 is what I've got so far, but it's...not great. I started trying to build the top and am having no success. I rolled out some thick strands and wrapped one around the base and used a balloon to try to keep the empty space in the centre. The material is too floppy, and it keeps stretching and sliding down. I'm at a loss. From what I've seen online, everyone just 3D prints one when they cosplay, but I can't do that. I'm out of ideas. Help?

I moved into an old NYC apartment with pretty typical landlord special painting etc. all over, but this is stumping me. The previous tenant left one of those over the toilet cabinets but it’s completely broken, and somehow plastered to the wall (seemingly around the outlet and also in the top left corner. I don’t know why they would do this, but does anyone have an idea of how I can remove this? I don’t have many tools so if I need to buy anything just want a plan first

Hinge is loose, screws spin which means the threads aren't catching anything

Do I shove a bunch of wood glue and toothpicks in there?

How can I make repeatable bends in thin craft wire without leaving plier marks?

• Upvotes

I’m making tiny wire frames and furniture, and getting two bends to match is much harder than making one decent bend. Round-nose, flat-nose, and smooth-jaw pliers all seem useful for different shapes, but I’m more interested in the technique than in buying a particular tool.For bends that stay visible in the finished piece, how do you keep the angles and curves consistent without chewing up the wire? Do you mark the wire or the plier jaw, bend around a small form, use some kind of jig, or rely on one jaw shape for repeatable results?

Any experience in fixing freezer drawers that have a crack? Not keen on buying a fridge just because of this. Is it just superglue? And/or heatgun to melt it together?
