>i want one streamlined for plastic
So get designing faggot. You gunna demand we build it for you as well?

If you just want to flatten the bottles, you can try a roller press. A 1/4" gap between the rollers and teeth or studs on the rollers to pull the bottles down into it.

Laminate with clear vinyl after sticker is applied- won't matter what you used to make the sticker with.

>>1173285
Can you elaborate on that? Can I apply it right on the printouts? Also, Is clear vinyl reflective? It may not look the best if sunlight diminishes how vivid it looks.

what i did
bought laser printable vinyl
printed them using m,y laser printer
ran them through my laminater

cut them all out afterwords , they cam out p good

What state do you live in?

I'm not sure on all the rules for Smoke Free Housing and I don't want to take this as far as legal action.

I'm probably moving out in the next few months anyways. I just want smoke gone now.

>>1173165
Ok. In that case, Move the fans from room 3 to room 1, 2 and 4. You're on the right track with positive pressure but need to include all the rooms so the pressure in room 3 doesn't cause smoke to blow into 1, 2 or 4.

Just rebuild the AD with a PCO I/I socket setup. You can bypass the RCOP scan with a DIM process inverter and clear any HAVI errors with your APE-RAPE debugger.

You do have and APE-RAPE debugger, right? You'll never make it in this business without one. They'll hit you with all kinds of FAG requests, and all you'll be able to return is the SUCC.

Thats some first class bullshit right there!
Well done anon!

Yea, I lost the inspiration in the second half.

10 pounds of bolts for $100 bucks. it's a steal

>>1172964
That is selling for a lot because it is rare as fuck. It is not being sold to construction workers, it is being sold to collectors. While they are asking way more than I've ever seen one sell for I have seen them sell for $150+ American.

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties

Does the IC say something like LM555 on it?

I'm thinking it's just a 555 timer sending a signal to switch those shitty little transistors off and on. Also mains power going into that fucking thing, are you kidding me?

You can find out where the output of the 'power supply' part is, bypass the timer circuit by cutting traces going to it and then hard wiring the output of the power supply to a switch and into the LED array.

>>1172944
where should it say LM555?

whats the problem with the main power going there?

>>1172943
You'll probably have to redesign the circuit a little. Chances are good that each one of the flashes delivers much more current than the leds can handle, but they survive because of the low duty cycle. Pretty common technique to get higher brightness actually.

If you want them to run continually, you will have to adjust the current down to a reasonable level, which means the leds won't be as bright, but they can stay on continuously.

kek m8 it's a different plant altogether
You're looking at cacao/cocoa, which is the plant used to make chocolate and chocolate based shit.

You'll find the difference in flavour between different coloured trees.

Cocaine is made from the leaves of the coca plant, and it's illegal to even own/grow in the States.

So jelly of your climate zone.

I don't know anything about coca and how to care for it, you will have to look that up. Generally the most difficult part is waiting for stuff to grow. It could take years before you get your first pods. I would suggest planting a lot of different trees/plants at once so there is a big payoff after the wait. If I were in your climate zone I would definitely look into growing mango, citrus fruit (orange, kumquat, tangerine), physalis, pears, pomegranate etc. Also note that most fruit is propegated from roots rather than from seed. If you grow from seed, you will get some random unknown genetic variation. So basically you have to buy a plant

Geez, if we only had a physical version of digital books that did not require power to read...
Either that or get a hand crank generator and a capacitor bank, since batteries will be gone after the first decade.

>>1172283
obviously physical is the ideal option but there's a lot of info on the internet that you would need to waste a shitload of money printing it all

>>1172364
Internet... you're not really thinking this through are you.

All these seem like a blind monkey tried to plaster something.

I agree with OP.

>>1172225
did they just throw plaster at a wall and say fuck it lets just keep drinking?

I made one of these last year anon, it didn't work for shit.

Sorry for the bad photo. Honestly I don't think it made a difference in temperature and it was even in a small room (around 300sq ft)

One thing that I want to try at some point is to take a box fan, some copper piping, a 5 gal bucket, and a small water pump. Coil the copper pipe around the front (exhaust) of the box fan and run ice water through it. The ice water would be inside the bucket and the pump would run the water.

It may just be easier to buy an actual portable AC at that point though.

Evaporative coolers work by... evaporation. Water absorbs heat as it turns from a liquid to a gas (several times the heat needed to raise its temperature from the freezing to the boiling point as a liquid). This increases the humidity of the air, which impairs cooling off via sweat. Considering cooling off with sweat alone, it's a wash - the lowered temperature is exactly offset by the increased difficulty of further evaporation. However, heat is also lost through conduction, and a lower absolute temperature increases this loss. This can be pretty significant in your case since the air temp is about the same as body temp, meaning little or no net conductive loss of heat. Circulating air (as with a regular fan) and exposed skin can help increase heat loss through both conduction and sweating.

No photos, but I'm doing the same thing on the front fork of a 1972 moped that I believe was stored in a pond.
I'm considering death.

Wouldn't a buffing wheel on a bench grinder with different buffing compounds have been faster and easier?
Either way, fantastic job!

op, i hope you don't ride with those in any weather and if you do that you wax the shit out of them or find a very good epoxy clear coat

if you just polish and wax, that'll help but it's bound to salt and corrode if you don't keep up with it

i'd clear the forks, it will dull the finish slightly but you can't use just any old shit unless you don't care about redoing them every couple years. not sure what the factories used but it's pretty tough

Here's a pic where of where I wanna put the garden down. I'm thinking I might do put chicken wire up all the way along the side of the garage and plant things to crawl up it like peas and maybe tomatoes.

Here's a view from the 2nd story house. Everything in view here are the sunny sides of the lawn, everything not in the picture is usually in the shade.

Fuck grass and make 2 12x12 raised garden beds and cover the rest with pea gravel. Anything that grows thru it you take a propane torch to once a year while enjoying your fruits and veggies

fill it with vinegar to break the corrosion loose
tap it out with an appropriate sized dowel
clean it thoroughly after the battery is out

>>1171704
this

or

a bowl of citric acid and water, then soak it

>>1171610
are they copper top duracells? those are the only batteries i've ever used that would leak/swell so they couldn't be removed. even the shitty dollar store alkalines and carbon zincs wouldn't do that

>>1171435
The only way asbestos would be a problem is catastrophic canister failure. You would notice the carbon leaking.

But what about all the people who got severe cancer link to asbestos like ww2 vets?

>>1171476
They didn't get it from gas masks. It was mostly in insulation. The old style of canister was available and in use up until the early 2000s.
