The corner of your cum coated tablet?

>>1193542
Its just dirty I was around poor people and I haven't had a chance to clean it.

A beautiful claim to say the least tho.

>>1193542
Its a laptop not a tablet. I'm trying to figure out what the part in the picture is called.

What would cause spontaneous ignition?

>>1193304
Static electricity.

I bought some no name steel toes from a temp agency and they lasted me 1 year in England and 2 years in a tropical environment afterwards.

After that I have been through various name brand work boots and none of them last longer than 4 months

>>1193165
Sadly, lots of name brand boots are shit-tier these days. I wear Bates enforcer series for work. So far the tread has held up well, but the pleather on the top part has worn though. Had them for nearly four years but rotate through three pair.
I did have a problem with pronating (walking feet pointing out, that caused wear) An ortho prescribed me some inserts that helped correct that. (that and being aware of how I was walking). Now the wear not as bad.
The other thing is dragging your feet. That sands the tread off no matter how good the shoe. So make an effort not to drag your feet when you walk.

If they keep your feet comfy who gives a fuck? Most people spend more than that on beer and coffee in 1 week

Don't overdo it. A slinky-shaped handle is only good for one head of the axe while the other suffers

Thats why i noted in my post that im also thinking about cutting one side off, friend

A prison cell is usually 6 x 8 ft. If you google pics you will see that there's pretty much only room for a desk and a twin bed. You could do a left bed or bed with storage under. It would probably be a turn off for girls if they ever see the twin bed tiny box room combo.

>>1192656
*loft bed

Dual purpose all furniture that you can, e.g. captain's style bed with storage underneath (if not doing a loft style) Desk/dresser combination if possible, wall mound any TVs/monitors.
Also make use of any natural light, otherwise it feels smaller than it is (and it is small).
Realistically, not a livable space unless you like the 85% of the floorspace being covered by your bed

That's a boat.

Thats a box of fish.
>goddammit.
dude, wtf and where (roughly - TOP/BOTTOM/LEFT/RIGHT/FFS) in this pic are you talking about? Because, everyone else is seeing, boats, box of fish and shit - just, so you know.

a little 5-amp difference isnt worth worrying about. just ignore it. if you're autistic enough to care, just figure out which is cheaper, replacing the breakers or the outlets. i'd choose the breakers, coz that deescalates any hypothetical dangers.

>>1192387
>but it seems wrong to me
please explain why you think that way

>>1192387
>all the outlets inside my recently-purchased house
obviously a trailer

20 amp receptacles are able to receive a 20 amp plug (the horizontal notch), its ok but a home inspector should've caught that & had receps changed back to 15a recepts (no horizontal notch)

any other answer is bullshit

You can use any capacity cell as long as it's 18650. Don't be tempted by cheap. Look to spend £5 a cell to get what it's labeled up as.

Soldering them is easy enough. Just rough the ends up with a bit of emery paper or light grit sand paper.

LG and Samsung are good.

The charger will just distribute current until the battery hits the charger cut off voltage so yes.

These will give you a head start on what you'll be learning in class.
Once you start welding watch the tutorial videos on Welding Tips and Tricks and Chucke2009.
Just don't go walking into class with a big swinging dick because you watched some youtube videos. Listen to your instructors and only use outside sources as a supplement to your training.

>What should I look for when buying tools/materials/safety gear?
Avoid the local welding supply at all costs. Amazon, Ebay, Cyberweld and Weldingoutfitter are where I get most of my gear. Get good anti-fog safety glasses and always wear them. Put them on before you enter the shop. Get hearing protection. I like Howard Leight quiet bands because they fit under a welding hood and are easy to put on while wearing gloves. Welding gloves with an unlined palm will give you better dexterity and will help give you more precises electrode/gun/torch manipulation. Tillman or Black Stallion elk skin gloves are great for stick welding. Deer skin is great for mig and tig. If you decide to get good gloves also get a pair of cheap driver gloves or cut resistant gloves for cutting, grinding or other prep work. Get a locking pliers/ vice grip for grabbing hot steel with. If you are going with a full jacket, get one with leather sleeves. If you live in the south you may want to just get leather sleeves or one of those leather man bra things with the optional snap on apron. Wear cotton, no synthetics unless it's nomex. No sneakers, leather boots or shoes. A cheap auto darkening hood will get you through school.

I wore one of these while I was in school and it's been a great hood for the price.

What school you going to?

welding thread?

why am I having my base material/filler fall out when welding vertical uphill?

Jody makes it look easy, but shit just falls out of the puddle unless i run super fast

I'm not in apprenticeship but my cousin is and he was telling me this story of this kid in his class who's fingers got smushed underneath something heavy and it broke his fingers, then he pulled them out which degloved them, he could have kept them if they broke but there is nothing that can be done once the limb is devolved they have to amputate so if you hand or something gets stuck under something heavy do not pull it out wait for it to be lifted off, they can fix broken fingers not degloved ones

Yeah, watch everything like a hawk so some dumbass doesn't injure you. Get more familiar with safety and health standards and the reasons they exist without being obvious at work. You can do that online. I've run HazMat and OSHA programs at a basic level and passed inspections that way. It's also a comfy job later in your career.

Learn your job on the job, but remember most workers are only satisfied with a paycheck and don't think "career" in everything they do. Be an information sponge and get smart about union hiring and pension plans.

Collective bargaining is the only way to not get assraped in the trades besides running your own small contracting business and there are plenty of those that fail.

Get all the certs you can. Many electricians in the US work on the side making fat bank. I had to install replacement weatherhead and meter box when a tree took my wire down and did nearly all the work myself (I've plenty of industrial maintenance experience) but the electrician who finished it and signed it off still got 400 bucks because the power company needed an inspection to turn the juice back on.

You can gradually accumulate all the personal tools you'd need as a contractor over the years in a very painless manner.

>>1191734
only bullshit if you can work while bullshiting
apprentices fist through third year do all the grunt work from water duty to big wire pull but if you get past third year everything gets a little easier and you get more respect

Not OP but perhaps these questions will help OP too. I am building a house and putting in a shop off the garage to pursue a carpentry/woodworking/furnituremaking passion.
What are the first three power tools you'd buy? Table saw, compound miter saw, planer? Maybe sub out the planer for a nice router?

I'm trying to find a balance between cozy and too cramped. How big is your shop, would you go bigger or smaller if you could? 20'x16' is where I'm at right now.

Fancy shit like a positive-pressure hvac system to keep dust down: meme? It feels like a decent dust collection system would be sufficient, but with new construction there's some economic advantage to aiming a little high with the initial plan.

You're gonna do all of this but don't even own an power tools?

>>1191468
Yea ive built a few as a teenager, had a few explode apart so be careful. Didnt really hurt me bit was scary lol. Anyway, you are gonna want a really good ignition system as sometimes the hair spray is hard to ignite if you put you put too much in and there isnt enough oxygen. A grill ignitor works but is not the best. A sparkler put through a hole works well, get creative. You are gonna want your barrel smaller than the potato, and basically smash the potato down to be airtight otherwise it wont shoot. Put an on off valve in the back for spraying the hairspray into. Dont get caught by the cops in the city.

Here ya go, anon. Pay it forward.

>>1191468
buy some glow sticks and a roll of duck tape, hook two glow sticks at the end and wrap with duck tape in the middle until you have a ball the same diameter as the spud gun barrel, shoot at night and watch the pretty colors. can usually be collected and reused until the glow sticks die.

>>1191422
You could have made the deal contingent on the slab passing your tests, if you cared that much


Otherwise yeah sure, sounds like you know what's up.

>>1191425
This is a good thought. I only started hatching my plans after signing off on it.

The original plan was to simply have a place to park my tiny house, for some cheap living space. The idea of improving the lot through construction occurred to me later.

so this plan is in line with local laws and building codes?

>>1190938
Depends, do you already own a tablesaw? What type of work are you doing? Are you a contractor?

The dewalt is nice, but the hitachi is a much better buy. Use it every fay at work.

I went with the hitachi for my house, and love it. The hitachi can be place aganst a wall, because the sliding system does not extend out the back like the dewalt.

The dewalt stand is good, but nothing special.

>>1190942
I don't own a tablesaw (yet) but I doplan on getting one. I'm just a DIY homeowner, but I have some upcoming projects which will require a decent miter saw, such as replacing all the baseboard and trim in my house. There are probably about 10-20 times a year I find myself in need of a miter saw and I just make do with my circular saw. I want to get something really good which will last me a long time, and I can afford it so I'm not going to buy some crappy ryobi or anything.

>>1190960
Thanks for the tip on the Hitachi, man. I hadn't seen this model before and it looks damn good. I really like the fact that it will take up less space in my woodshop (garage). Looks like it's $150 less and also comes with a free stand at the moment. Will strongly consider.
