who gives a shit? go buyfag somewhere else or hire a professional shopper.

Take off the rubber covers and soak them in hydrogen peroxide

That's literally it.

>>1130329
Isn't H203 a strong oxidizer though, even at 3%? I was hoping for a medium that won't react with the earphones and rely only on the vibration caused by the diaphragm to clean them.

>>1130321
Fucking gross man.
If your buds are so dirty maybe you should throw them out and pick up a new pair for like 2$. Then go to the doctor and explain your are a tinky cunt that doesn't know how to wash behind his ears

Dunno about reliable, but many bugs leave the flowers pretty soon after you have cut them.
You could also try slaughtering your new pets with heat or poisons, but their dead bodies would still remain.

Freezing them in a vacuum chamber?

It ought to kill everything while leaving the plant pristine

>>1129974
Quick rinse with water is the easiest or dunking them in a small container of water.

Think of it as a simple radius...use a diameter of 80'...

some information about curved roofs. Doesn't include specific technical data or measurements, but it might help anyway

That might help. I know how to measure a basic roof pitch and maybe if I look at roofs in this style enough I can figure out the math on my own.

OP is hole in sheetrock, attached ist das Fenster.

>>1128979
making a hole in the wall without reinforcing the structure around is fucking suicide

No you should frame the window properly and then flash it properly or there's a good chance your wall is going to rot out if your home doesn't have eaves. The issue is expansion and contraction of dissimilar materials and globbing in stucco is going to look like shit and most likely crack and or damage the window.

>>1126651
If you don't already know how to fix it you will need to call a professional to look at it. You also need to determine why it fell. Are those blocks/bricks I'm seeing? Definitely a professional job and a call to your insurance company. If you live in a rented apartment, call your landlord and tell him the ceiling fell in. Stay out of that room.

>>1126651
what country even

Oh the joys of plaster. You need to get a scraper and crowbar to pry off the rest of it. then throw up some 1/4" or 3/8" drywall. Finish it as you see fit.

>>1130754
>It didn't grow properly
well break it again

>>1130755
Thanks for the immediate bump. It just hasn't fully grown is what I mean.

Why are you losing a lot of weight?

>>1130076
You fucked son. If it ain't the fuses, which, wtf it's the 21st century, then it is the wires. If your house is so old that it is still using fuses then it is likely that you have old as hell wiring to go with it. You probably have a wiring failure.

>Hoarder
Or rats in your walls chewing on the wires.

>>1130076
you need to rewire your whole house

I actually don't have any pest problems other than a few mice in the winter. She mostly collects furniture and clothing and I try to be anal about keeping food in secure places.

What should I do? Is there literally no option?

Or if anyone is up to answering some questions about repairing versus replacing old and damaged veneer.

>>1129532

Ask the fucking question already.

Should I replace the veneer, try to repair it, or just try and get it appraised and sell as is. It's an old saba radio in working condition. The turntable is fucked.

>Turns out you can't just twist together the cables to make it work

you learn from fuck ups, that is life

time for new headphone

>>1128964
If twisting doesn't work, neither will soldering, right? I can try soldering but as far as I know it won't make a difference.

Cut outs are for a bar fridge and a microwave+shelving

Take them to a lapidary...? Polish them? Leave them as is and make necklaces?
I've got no idea what the market wants.

Get a buddy and charge em up

my gems and minerals are not for sale.

I'm talking about science and medicine.

earlier today I proved to myself that two crystals alone can start a fire in the dark, so I want more stuff like that.

I'm not adverse to healing or meditative arrays and stuff like that. I have a lot of room to work with in a comfortable environment.

So lay it on me broh! What /x/ related can I do with my crystals?

I don't even know where to find the regulations because I imagine they very from county to county and municipality to municipality, but...they don't fucking inspect shit out here anyway unless some neighbor who fucking hates you squeals on you.

New Zealand reporting in. It's fucking bullshit, your average house needs 6-8 inspections, the inspectors are almost universally cunts and they work for the council so complaints go nowhere and if one has a bone to pick with you he will fail you on shit that isn't even in your plans.

Building codes themselves aren't too bad, some retarded shit, but not too much. If you want something that is outside the norm, like prefab or anything imported, good fucking luck. You can't even make your own frames and trusses, just assemble prenails because god forbid someone undercuts these dickheads that make 15-20k for some fucking frames and trusses that a group of decent guys smash out in a day or two.

Also, good luck doing anything yourself. Legally you can do all the plumbing yourself and all the electrical work except for mains connection and switchboard fit off yourself, however the inspectors and council will cockblock you so fucking hard that you basically have to get someone in to do it all unless you have a mate who does these trades and will sign off for you. Thankfully you can still do foundations, framing, cladding and interiors yourself, but not for much longer I don't think.

Basically If you want to build your own house in this country you are fucked. I did it, but it was a mission and I caught the start of all the licencing bullshit.

>>1130786
Oh and also, once you have paid your architect several thousand to draw up some spec bullshit you can find on the internet, because plans have to be done by a licensed architect, the council then need to approve it which can take anywhere from one to three months and costs between 4-8k for some cunt to stamp a few pages.

But isnt gasket maker meant to come off

>>1130223
>>1130235
Spoken like someone that's never scraped it out of the channels of an aluminum block before :)
It comes off, but not as easily as peeling off a premade gasket. It's sticky as fuck and adheres well, and it'll handle your heat requirement since it holds at engine temperatures.

Hard to say if it will handle the weight of that thing as it's not designed to actually support a load, though. Wonder what the shear forces will do to it particularly when you're driving down a bumpy road. One way to find out I guess...

>>1130202
Drill a hole through the exterior wall where you suspect the hive to be and spray a can of raid in.

>>1130208

You mean through the soffit?
Is there a way to get a wide, rather than long, spray with that? I'm worried that the hive runs up and down the length of the boards and by killing a few of them I'll rile the rest. When they were getting into my attic, that was how they reacted, anyway.

Get a quality sprayer (pic) - cheap one won't work.

Fill the bottom reservoir with warm water. Add about 2 tablespoons of dawn (not "simply clean" bit the original ultra concentrate)

Go to town on any area the wasps might be. Use a mistier spray and they'll drop out of the air. Direct spray on nests.

It rips the pheromones off their bodies so they don't know wtf to do, and a combination of leeching and dehydration kills them shortly after.

Also, works great as a household cleaner (I haven't bought a name brand cleaner in years - just the mix and a microfiber) and you can mist nastier pots and pans before you start the dishes and they'll be loose when you get to them.

But back to the wasp issue - I'm a horticulturist, and this is what I use to fuck up wasps en masse.

If you're not worried about structure damage, you can use a 4 Tbsp mix or even just squirt pure dawn at trouble spots.

Don't use a bait trap. The bait attracts more than it kills.

Exposure WILL kill them, but take precautions and spray where you can before you put your dick in a guillotine.
