how would that work?
IR / UV are wavelengths of electromagnetic energy. if you add energy to something it usually heats up, unless you can get it to trigger some reaction i suppose.
what does that have to do with feeding cats? canned cat food doesn't belong in a fridge. does it?

>>1152847
ir/uv kills bacteria, so I'm wondering if I can leave an opened can of cat food under an ir/uv light for a long period of time and expect it to not spoil. not the traditional function of a refrigerator per se, just aiming to preserve food via another means

>>1152850
bacteria will grow where the light doesn't go. IR doesn't kill bacteria, high intensity UV does.

UV will do a lot of damage to the food itself too. besides, not all bad bacteria are suspectible to UV light.

I'm not sure why you'd buy a home without a realtor as the seller pays the commission.

>>1152829
>seller pays 12% commission

or

>seller pays 0% commission
>seller passes some of that savings on to the buyer

>>1152824

>If a home is for sale through a realtor, is there anyway to purchase it from the owner without including the realtor?

Sure...but you'll have to wait. When a seller hires an agent, they sign a contract...and if the house sells within the time frame of the contract, then the seller pays the realtor fee...

If the contract is broken early, and the seller still manages to sell the house, they may very well be bound to the time frames of the previous contract...still have to pay the realtors fee...

>>1152835

My last house I sold I payed 4% of selling price...

If you're that ticked off at big tobacco you're halfway to quitting. Give it a shot, Mr. Troll.

>>1152731
I gave up with the machine rollers. I do it all by hand now. It takes a while, but I smoke way less. I'm actually almost ready to quit. Taking 3 minutes to roll a smoke really sucks. You have to plan it out and ration your smokes. It's rewarding though. Less than a penny a smoke, and I like doing it.

Not much help, but just my 2 cents.

DIY e-juice is cheap.
Smoked 1-3/4 packs/day for decades, now vape for about a quarter a day. I've even kept the cravings satisfied with drops on the tongue when I had bronchitis.

There's a suprising psychological aspect to cigarette addiction, and associations that have to be broken.

just buy one of those cheap 12v replacement pump if it's just for hydroponics.
also consider fogponics, much better.

The filtration to ensure the integrity of the nozzles is kepeing me back from spraying fishpoopwater.

I use this shit in my DWC with a CMH light and it's working well for me. Might not clog nozzles too quickly.

this all looks very promising.

>>1152663
you can use the reader head
maybe the display if theres a datasheet

various smd passives can be harvested with 2 pencil irons

besides the basic glue logic, everything else is custom and useless

What I meant with "they don't work as swipers" is that they probably can't connect to whatever CC bank network that answers at the other side.
Worth to mention maybe, I picked up literally, a truckload of them, various models. They have been labeled as having various failures like "No backlight", "Tamper", "Printer failure", "Lost keys".

Unfortunately, they seem to have been left overnight under the rain. I guess if they have a battery inside or can be left to dry without opening them.

Most if not all units have a seal (intact) on a couple of screw slots.

You'll get a better answer in the Plamo threads on /toy/ or /m/.

Thank you, I'll post there instead.

>How are the base sculpts created and cast into separate parts?
They are sculpted from modelling clay and then a silicone mold is poured around them.
Division into parts is necessary to get a good mold.

Do people sculpt these things out of clay first, part it out, and then cast it in casting resin or something?
Either they make them from clay and pour a mold around it or they are designed in a CAD program and the molds are milled using a CNC machine.
Casting is always done using resin.

Printer refill ink is pretty cheap.
4 oz for $7.40

Do you want to clog your pen or something? If you are that strapped for cash just use a bic

> have loads of money

What specifically are you trying to do OP?

Constant maintenance. You're welcome.

>>1151862
Ya. Building shit is expensive and labor intensive as fuck. Hell, im about to give up building a compressed dirt block machine. Too much fucking work

it would cost far more to make than simply going to a hobby store and buying a drafting mechanical pencil

never electroplated anything at home but sounds interesting post pics

Titanium is very difficult to plate because it is both cathodic and annodic

It's like trying to plate with aluminum. Outside of a molten salt bath at an insane temperature all you'll do is break apart water molecules because the electrons don't have the strength to break apart the metal's bonds.

>>1150989
Nope sorry. Good luck tho. Evefyine says its a lot of fucking work. Ive helped out in 1. Big metal blads take more wood out but metal bandsasw ar fucking dangerous. Good luck. Woukd like to see it. And u can use and underpowered motor in a pinch just go slow.

Sucks dick bit get a stiff broom and brush off your boards. The dust will draw moisture and mold.

>Does anyone have any good documentation on this?
I'm sure lots of people do, everyone in my neighborhood has a sawmill. Fucking retard, use google.

i know i should give up on it, but i would like to try again. i seem to struggle with good solder points. i have jittery fingers. are there any tools to clamp wires or solder or any anons know of and good tutorial videos on soldering? i think i've burnt the board in 2 different places and over soldered every wire.

Just return it. It's not with the hassle/expense to go through trying to fix it. You paid for a functional product, you didn't get it. That's on them to make it right.

It's called Duck Tape for a reason, that shit makes an air tight seal when used correctly

>>1153766

Properly repairing thin-wall aluminum tube would involve TIG welding it.

I'm going to assume that's out of the question, otherwise you would have done it already.

>>1153777
>Just return it

Trips have spoken. I don't know who you got it from, but I've never personally had trouble getting a refund/replacement for an outright DOA item. I haven't even been asked to actually ship it back, in the case of visible, obvious damage.

Otherwise, moosh it back into round as best you can, then wrap some duct tape (or other strong, fiber-reinforced tape) around it.

>>1153761
Get 2, 1' pieces of 2x6, cut one edge of each at about 75°, glue them together along the angle cut. Shape with whatever: drawknife, spokeshave, rasp, belt sander... Use eye template cut out of cardboard to draw on eyes, cut out with coping saw. Sand, paint, etc.

Make a vacuum plastic forming jig. All you need is a vacuum cleaner, an oven, some wood, a mold blank you made, and some thermoplastic.

Google, "diy vacuum forming".

You'll be able to make tons of neat things with it.
