Is anyone else having tech problems today?

Had an abundance of tech problems, mercury Rx.

Though my VHS video camera breaking after 15 years of service just after filming the llinked video yesterday kinda takes the biscuit. A case of insta karma for me? I have no idea xD It seems like the mode-switch that tells the mechanism that the take up reel is turning is not sensing that, or it is not actually turning. While I am handy to fix things, disassembling those tiny mechanisms suck.

I had several expensive break downs. One being a dishwasher and we had to replace it. That was severely expensive. It was right at the beginning of the retrograde. I guess to put it mildly, out with the ild and in with the new. One moto Mercury Rx uses.

Remember there is also a shadow period just before Rx begins and an echo period just after it finishes. I was having a laugh that i felt I was safe this retrogade, but then camera dies.

I used to use a dishwasher, but my partner who just moved to the UK from the philippines insists on washing all dishes manually, and now our dishwasher is just unused

Expensive breakdowns suck. Even then if not fixable it is worth dis-assembling and cannibalising parts you can sell that still work to recoup some costs. This is often doable on many home appliances. Or in some cases the problem can be as simple as a fuse or capacitor on a PSU board, which is an easy fix.

Generally I can fix most breakdowns that happen mostly during Mercury Rx, but am having trouble with that tiny evil mechanism. I more like to joke that my friend sticking his middle finger up is what broke it.
