@aptronym At the risk of getting labeled "the annoying repair clinic guy"...
Volunteer or patronize your local Repair Café/Clinic and build relationships!
It's a great way to meet your neighbors!
You have a built-in subject of conversation!
If you're fixing, you get to poke new, weird things!
If you're bringing something, you can save money and keep a thing going instead of throwing it away!
It's a ton of fun, and you get to justify your special interest in some specific household appliance.
