For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

    This is such a generational thing. My parents and grandparents would get shoes and have them resoled periodically. With a little care, a pair of shoes were expected to last decades. You used to see shoe repair shops in every neighborhood. I can’t remember the last time I brought a pair of shoes that could be resoled.

        I’m currently wearing a pair of boots manufactured in 1982. They where my grandfather’s. I’ll have them repaired for as long as I can find a cobbler to do it. New laces on occasion and shoe polish every few months.

        I disagree. I had a pair of cheap elastic sided boots from Rivers resoled, and my partner once got new heels put on his worn down Kmart shoes. It is possible to get shoes cheaper than the cost of resoling them.
