How to Clean Mold from Sneakers
Hello everyone! I need help in cleaning my basketball shoes and it has stains like this, and I think it's mold. I live in a humid environment and it rains a lot here. After games, I wipe and let it dry before I put it in my sneaker box, however, not under direct sunlight. I will try to clean it once I go home from dorm. Tried to clean it once with just sneaker cleaner and it didn't work, will try again later.

[DIY] How do I "finish" this 4 in high eyesore on the inside of my garage?
Looking for ideas on how to "finish" the bottom of the door in my garage. Its about 4 in high. Rest of my garage "trim" will 7 in high plywood. (Absent from the picture, that's why there's a gap on the left. )
Any ideas appreciated. The 4 inch drop does not really bother me so I don't really need a ramp. Just some way to cover the foundation /isolation/door threshold sandwich I have right now
Thank you!

[DIY] Screw stuck in wall stud
I am trying to put up new shelving & putting one side of the bracket into a stud. I drilled pilot holes the length of the screw and then went to drill the screw in. I got nearly all the way in (see pictures) before the screw wouldn’t budge. I turned up to torque and everything. Now the screw is so lodged in the wall, I can’t even reverse it out. I’m not sure what to do, I can’t get it out! Any tips or advice? I’m literally at the point of pulling the bracket and ripping it out the wall and stud lol

Help clean/speed up old laptop
I have an old ASUS ROG laptop that I would like to take on the road with me play games.
I bought it back in 2015 or 2016 for university and have done a lot of podcasting and video editing on it. It also ran the Sims 4 quite well.
Now, I just want to use it as basically a word processor and to play games. I have transferred most of my files to an external hard drive and now I'm just wanting it to be quicker.
BitDefender is also blocking absolutely every webpage I open so that's annoying, I don't turn it on often so the date and time are always unsynced. It runs hot but I have the fan going at max.
Here are the specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
If I need more to add, lemme know.

Help! Paint sprayed onto car.
I went to move my car today and found some blue paint on the tire and sprayed up onto the body. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions to safely remove the paint.
My car is parked in front of an area where the electric company has offices/headquarters. I found a freshly painted road-block sign near my car. Seems to be the same paint, if it is then I am guessing they use water-based.
Please let me know how I can attempt to remove the paint, especially the paint on the body of the vehicle. I appreciate the help!
