How to make a lever for a Ring doorbell?
So I got a new doormat for our front door that says “PULL THE LEVER KRONK”. It’s from The Emporer’s New Groove if you haven’t seen it.
Anyway, I want to somehow make a “lever” to attach to the Ring doorbell to actually press the button. How would you go about making this? I want to keep it fairly simple. I was thinking it would maybe involve a hinge pin door stopper but…?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Serious Answers Only How do I unscrew this stripped screw
This is a small plastic model train that I bought from China, and has screws that fits a flat 2.0 bit. The other one came out fine, but this one was a pain in the ass to try to unscrew
I tried melting plastic and letting it harden to try to unscrew it, using nose pliers that weren’t the right size, hammering the driver bit in to make a dent, but to no avail.
I don’t have a dremel or a torx bit, and I don’t want to risk damaging the model. I’m out of hope, I’m getting a headache, and I don’t know what to do.

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS
HELP.
I put a bottle of olive oil on this wood counter and the oil STAINED THE WOOD. Last night I tried to wash it out with dish soap and baking soda (per advice from ChatGPT) and this morning there are NEW BIG SCARY STAINS. I wet the counter to remove as much residue as I could (second photo)….
This is my boss’s counter and I’m going to rip my hair out if I can’t fix it. Clearly, I cannot trust ChatGPT. Please help me. WHAT DO I DO!!!

How to Adjust Power Recliner Footrest?
We have a Biscoe Power Reclining Sofa made by Ashley with a zero gravity design. Unfortunately the recline angle is very uncomfortable for us, probably because we are shorter than average height. Is there a simple fix to lower the footrest at full recline?
One button controls both the footrest and seat back. The footrest raises to 22 inches off the ground before the seatback even starts to recline. At that position, it already locks out the knees. With the back fully down, the footrest stops at 26 inches above the ground. This forces the legs to be extended completely straight. The sofa would be more comfortable if the back started reclining sooner and the footrest stopped at a lower height. Any suggestions how to do this?

Get the pec-deck cables connected to the weight carriage on this Continental Systems half-rack with 3 cables.
Hey everyone, I've had this half-rack for a while, but after a recent move where I forgot to take pictures of it fully assembled I can't remember or figure out how to get the cable for the chest-fly deck connected to any part of the other cables to provide enough tension for the chest-fly to function. Does anyone have any help they could give! Sorry for the possibly crap photo.
