Yeah, I thought about that too, but the board rules said no sex toys.
Also I am afraid that it would crush my dick

As long as floor can move it doesn't matter. If moulding is 1/2" or smaller, well, better run floor under drywall

>>1107683
is there a good way to space it that way?
I bought small tombstone spacers and I don't think id be able to get them back out from under the dry wall after the floor is in.

You can drill small holes along edge of your first row and drive small nails or screws, at least 2 in each piece, so floor doesn't move while putting together. Dont forget to remove nails/screws when done. Moulding will cover holes.

Good 1. Any real suggestions?

Found this - they say shoe polish works if you use a creme polish and follow up with wax polish but the method is intended for boots so I don't know if it would suit your needs.

These were some of the 2x2's (actually 1 1/2" squared) and I had to trim one side down to 1 1/8th. It's kind of addicting making stuff.

One of the first things you should invest in is some ceramic cable elevators to separate your cables from harmful surface coupling. These should be placed every foot along a cable and cost only $20 each, a real bargain for anyone who even remotely cares about sound quality.

If you aren't using Brilliant Pebbles then you might as well be listening to your favorite songs while a blender is running. They are an absolute steal at $29.

It's usually a remove/replace for laminate floor, however if its not too deep, more of a surface scratch you could try a colored marker...

I don't think the tiles are available anymore, however I've seen companies that sell fillers for laminate floors. Otherwise I would have to rip up all tiles in the apartment since they're all linked.

fill with laminate filler or Bondo and touch up paint to match.

Two very different functions. An oven for cooking, you want to be fairly large to accommodate whatever you want to cook, and also large to give a more even heating temperature across your food so you don't get burned areas and undercooked areas in the same piece of food.

For a forge, you want as small an area as feasible compared to what you want to heat up or melt, and get it as hot as you possibly can in that small area regardless of how hot the rest of the forge gets.

Also, while you can cook just fine with wood, wood itself is not a great substitute for charcoal in a forge. The refining process of turning the wood into charcoal makes it a much better fuel for reaching the highest temperatures you can get to. Luckily if you're a poorfag, you can turn wood into charcoal yourself. There are a bunch of ways, the easiest being to just shove as much wood into a metal can as you can fit and throw the whole thing into a fire.

What about an oven of this shape, with the cooking/smelting area in red and the air intake in blue?

>>1106124
A proper wood-fired pizza is hot enough to melt zinc. You are correct though. A pizza oven at 800F that has a lot of zinc chucked in will instantly go down in temps and stay down as it tries to heat up the zinc. That length of time may be too long and the masonry's stored heat will peter out before the metal is melted. Thus, an actual furnace is needed, because a pizza oven use residual heat to cook, not applied heat.

Unless the second step to your ingenious plan is to stop using anything that puts water into the septic tank forever then it is not going to work.

What you are experiencing is a symptom, not a problem. Fix the fucking problem first.

"What's the problem?" you ask? Your septic tank has failed. Call a pro and find out why.

Pipe going to the sewer seems blocked from all the shit, I'll get some gloves and try to remove it by hand.
Already removed around 10kg of fossilized crap.

As has been said, your septic tank is not working properly. If water cannot take the usual path to exit the tank, it will find a path such as the issue you are experiencing.

This shit here is what made me think of it.
I thought it must be bullshit, but apparently tons of people do it and it's not.
So, peltiers seem silly for this, plus heat loss out the sides. Stirling engines, I doubt they'd have the power to turn a generator.
Steam engines, I dunno.

I'm thinking of a peltier with a metal cone underneath it, maybe? The top just a metal cup full of water to pull heat out.

>>1104312
>I thought it must be bullshit
Bingo!
>but apparently tons of people do it and it's not.
I better give Scientology. Astrology, and trickle down economics a shot then!

You can't increase the power output of a candle but putting a couple of pots over it. It just means you heat the pots instead of the air. A fair amount of that heat is lost in the pots, regardless.

TL;DR, it's bullshit.

>>1104320
I thought that, then started wondering where the heat in a normal candle goes.
If it creates a small amount of very hot air, and that air shoots directly up to the roof and escapes the house, then it's not gonna do much.
If that very hot air is captured in something, say, an upturned pot with a big chunk of metal in the middle to act as a sink, then the temperature is lowered yet spread, you could perhaps get some nice warm air rather than a small amount of mega hot shit.

It is funny though, how much the pots look like a certain anti gravity device.


Anyway, looking around I've seen a handful of calculations that put the energy stored in a tealight at around 150wh, with some burning in 9 hours, others at around 4, that's a max constant output of 40 watts.
That's enough RAW energy to power 5V at 8A.
Just need to find the most efficient heat to electricity converter that works at such low power.

But is it a scrotum mucher?

>>1104222
That's not uncommon. It is like the plastic pieces of a blender where the motor and the blades join. They rarely have a problem and normally the motor will burn out long before anything else. This is due to the fact that on such cheap ass devices, the motor has the most problems simply because it is a motor and it is cheap as fuck.

>Why are there 4 cables to this thing?
Because there are 4 receivers.

>Can I just reuse one of them and clip rest?
Yup.

> How appropriate is running a ground like this vs a true ground rod?
Either works.

>>1108247
Why would you want to snip the others? If you have 4 TVs, you'll want all 4 to connect to the antenna.

Every TV set you hook up to an antenna will cut the signal in half (or more). You can get a booster for $15 - $20 to solve that problem.

Also keep or sell that dish! Don't scrap it.

You didn't search the documentation very well. OnInspectorGUI is a method on Editor, not EditorWindow.
