Why don't you just get a new pair, it's $10.

>>1106635
Because I can fix these for free in 20 minutes and the new ones will break in 6-12 months anyways

>>1106640
Plastics don't melt they burn.

You are thinking of silicone i.e. in bathrooms etc.

>>1106617
show the bottom of your chair pls

>>1106617
See the handle? Pull it outwards away from the stem of the chair. You should then be able to lean back; you may have to adjust the tensioner under the front of the chair if it's too hard or too easy to recline.

Hang some climatic lights in room, then put vaseline on them to blur.

I do not have climatic light, i meant something to put on my lamp to make it more colorful and blurred

Huff it or weld with it. Herbs need supplemental CO2 for dankness, not oxygen.

Mix with h2 add a spark and make water.

Why?

Also why is everyone trying to reinvent the house? The cheapest and easiest and most practical way to build a house is to build it to a house shape, not round, not a arched, not domed, not underground, not containers, not concrete pipes, not rock carving, not pallet wood.

Give me a good reason why you would build a new house like it is something else. It is not.

>>1106553

because i think it looks cool

>>1106553

Maybe because I'm a fucking plane.

Do you know how hard it is to live inside a house built for a not plane? The tips of your wings catch on every surface. You don't have any room to turn around. It's shit.

Good god it never ceases to amaze me how shitty all the electrics are in burgerland. Like wtf is that speaker wire or some shit? jesus

Blow-in insulation is paper-based, unless it's neato-skeeto vermiculite (asbestos).

>>1106499
lololol

take off the white plastic cover and push it out of the socket from the back

>>1106504
Fuck so the end I will to search that stupid micro screwdrivers

>>1106506
if you want to save the card, probably

if not, just jam some needlenose pliers into the card and yank it out

>olive oil, lemon juice.

Sounds like it would get rank pretty quick

>>1106322
I use walnut oil for my wood. I like a light stain with a natural look. It's food safe but you have to re-apply if you plan on washing them often.

>>1106347
That's what I thought but as a lightly used utensil that is cleaned with each use would it work?

you must be doing it wrong. if the subs are not ''forced'' then you have to click the correct icon and select Enable, then choose the language if there's more than one.

i dont think there's an option to force subs on all the time, but you can use mkvtoolnix_gui to force the subs on on each file.

also, the PI renders movies absolutely great at 720p and 1080p, so i dunno what your problem is; either a shitty screen or lo-res stuff.

as for using your desktop: you dont really need it. you can use Berryboot to dual-boot Raspbian and Openelec or Libreelec. you set up deluge to download torrents under Raspbian, then reboot and watch them with kodi (librelec/openelec).

google for installing the deluge daemon on Raspbian, which you can then remote control from your desktop (add torrents, check progress). you can seed all night coz it's low-power, and zero noise.

Here's a picture of the back of the port in case it's needed.

Have you ever soldered before? It might be a little tricky. The holes on the circuit board probably won't fit another kind of port, and you'll probably have to modify the case too.

If it's only power than the electrical bit shouldn't be that tough; only two connections you need to care about. The problem will be that if you attach the new port with small wires or something to get around the footprint difference, you'll have a lot of trouble securing it so that you can plug something in.

Idk actually if micro and mini-usb necessarily have different footprints (same pinout ofc). If they're the same it should be very straightforward. If not, this might not be worth the time.

Might be easier to piggyback the micro usb ontop of the existing port
That way you have the option of charging it with the original cable or with a micro
Will have to carve a little grove on the case though

>>1106018
The first step is to put it in an air tight plastic container with some damp rid. Don't let it touch any damp rid though. After a couple of days it will be bone dry and ready to seal with the coating of your choice. Having *any* moisture in it before you seal it will destroy it over time.

>>1106024
For sure, I was gonna do that or cure it in a dehydrator. That could be risky with the icing though.

>>1106025
My only other advice would be use some kind of spray to coat it, and do a whole bunch of very very light coats.

Been there anon.But it was just the bottom bags after the storage I had them in got flooded.

Buy a new one

Well, the guts of the machine didn't change by themselves. It sounds like you just aren't familiar with how this particular model works.

The steam for the coffee and the steam for the milk both come from the same water resivour. I've seen a lot of cheap machines where you need to close off some kind of valve on the milk steamer before the steam will go through the coffee. If the only way to turn off the milk steamer is with a solinoid, and you're sure that you understand how to do that on this machine, and it's not working, then you either need a new solinoid or you need to figure out a way to permanently shut that solinoid off.

Just be absolutely certain that you know how this machine is supposed to work, and that there aren't any hidden knobs or dials, before you remove the first screw. This machine may not actually need any 'fixing'.

>>1105955
The things circles in blue aren't solenoids, they're probably thermal fuses. One of them is probably a safety fuse, the other is for regulating temperature.

On power supplies in general:
The problem with too high capacitance on the output side is that when it's first powered on, it's basically a dead short.
It takes longer to charge which may briefly exceed the power ratings of circuits before it.

The supply you're using is probably current limited and not frequently powered ON/OFF so it may not be an issue.

If you're worried about voltage spikes, you should add transient voltage suppressors. Varistors would do on the 230V side. Adding some capacitors might be worth considering as well, but those should be pretty small and safety rated on the 230V side.

Like the other anon said, adding more bulk capacitance increases the initial surge current and, depending on where you place the capacitors, might also increase the repetitive peak currents as well.

>i will be using tablet charger (5v,2a) for powering my route

Be careful, sometimes the PSU's supplied with these routers are rated for a much higher insulation voltage between input and output.

A cheap tablet charger might not be built to such standards.

>Laptop
Check both ends of the LVDS (Screen) cable.
Judging by the shitty cell phone picture, I'd guess its a Toshiba Satellite C55 or some shit: here's some guy basically being the service manual for it, he'll tell you how to get to the screen cable, and its even a YouTube video so its hard to fuck up!

otherwise its probably the graphics card getting fucked up because Toshiba is a piece of shit brand.

It is never worth it to repair a laptop screen

Not true, but there are only a few things you can repair--- fewer every year.
