As you assemble, snake a cord through there. Assembled? Pull your wire

>>1152897
>My plan is to connect new 10/3 wire to the existing wire and try to pull it through.
>>1152897
>10/3 wire

Romex is difficult to pull.

You'd have better luck pulling three #10 wires through.

>>1152900
so try to pull 4 wires of something like this through?

Learn the basics: rhythm, sound, melody
Then: do a skill check--=can you sing, or play an instrument, can keep a beat going, or at least have an idea for an interesting set of tones, etc.
Afterwards: practice that shit--try recording some of your practice sessions just to see how you sound like, also to see if you're getting better. Software: most Windows/Linux/Mac OS X or whatever you have on your computer will have a default recorder application (or 'app'); the one that comes with your smartphone will also do for this purpose.
Then: ask Google about what free and easy to learn software to use. You're looking for something called a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). With this you can record 'tracks' and edit them--google/read up on music production+sound engineering, and/or just play around with that shiny new software. If it's music creation software you want, try Googling for: synthesizer, drum machines, beat pads, whatever.
Finally: create, record, and produce your music, put it on a few CDs (whoops I mean USBs or whatever you kids use nowadays), or just upload that shit to SoundCloud or Bandcamp or whatever (or MySpace if that shit still works). Have it listened to and critiqued by fellow music-minded people. Accept feedback with an impersonal perspective--if they say something like "this sounds like the shit I shat out this morning," don't take it personally, instead ask them if they can specify what is shitty about it, like is the timing off or are the vocals flat or is the sound quality terrible, etc. so you will know what to work on. Chances are, if you pick who you will have listen to your first few tracks (ideally those who know good music or at least someone who's not just trolling you), you can really get constructive and objective feedback, which will let you learn better and improve your craft.

1. go to school
2. learn English
3. try again

Nothing wrong with his english. If anyone ever says "Buy brand X", you can safely assume they are idiots. Buy products with good properties, not because they have a logo you've seen everywhere. Probably there's no good way to stop the ringing noise, but if you can think of a way to stop the tips of the claws from vibrating, try it. Maybe jam some rubber stuck between them.

>seller sends you a product you didnt order
>claims its better
>you obviously cant use it because its not what you bought

and you didnt dispute this why? if it was ebay you could dispute the charges saying you were sent an item different from what you purchased and ebay would have refunded you. so instead you are here crying about the connector and reqiring it, if its from a mac and you want to use it for a pc you will have issues

lots of >>1153855 as well, however.

my best guess, with 5 wires, try pic related, with RGB (you got RBW for this, helpfully..), black ground and yellow sync, sync to V-SYNC (pin 14). That may work, but probably wont. At least you tried, tho.

>>1153859
He's missing the Hsync wire in that case. A VGA monitor will just tell you to fuck off and not even bother turning on if you don't give it Hsync.

>>1153821
You've got five wires there. VGA would require six. I'm guessing it's some kind of video standard with either a composite sync, or chroma,luminance color wires instead of R,G,B. You'll need to do more than just solder the wires to a VGA connector,

Definitely flannel. A Canadian staple long before the world heard of Seattle.

All in all, a good time. Would recommend.

I try drilling in reverse all the time when using cordless drills. Maybe it's just me being autistic but I often put it in reverse and then try to drill, make a mess of the surface because of the drill bit walking away, then finally realize what's wrong.
Happens every second or third hole I'm drilling.

>Must be getting dull
>Check teeth, sharp as fuck
>Get about half way through the fucker and check the teeth again

Switched to a crosscut saw and I blew through it in like 10 seconds.

copper wire
hydrochloric acid
35% hydrogen peroxide

in a well ventilated area fill a 1000ml beaker with 500ml of hydrochloric (muriatic) acid

add copper wire

have ready 500ml of 35% hydrogen peroxide and add it pipette by pipette until you no longer see the mixture bubbling

heat the mixture (outside, ventilation) until you have nothing but a blue sludge left

let dry, pulverize and throw in your fire

tons of videos on youtube which you should watch, what i wrote was from memory only

>>1153489
Will pure copper metal work if it is finely divided and pulverized? Because the color is produced by electron excitation in the copper atoms, so I don't really see why you would need the chloride or sulfate ionic pair

I'm getting older, so I don't want to be mangling my hands or my back. He seems to think most of it involves running diagnostics on industrial air conditioners.

I'm just wondering because I only have enough money to go to school for one trade, so it has to be a good one. I love computers, and I hate work.

I have to go to the university tomorrow and I still haven't decided what I'm going to take.

>sewing thread
stainless steel

>video tape
plastic, i.e. same if not stronger than the pipe

there is nothing that will dissolve them, best you can try is get a snake and maybe pull them out

but can i just say, who the fuck put sewing threads and video tape down the toilet?

I'm pretty sure sewing thread is not made of stainless steel....

Anyway I stupidly put them down there. I tied it to a cardboard toilet roll and flushed it to see what would happen. I wanted to see the thread / tape getting sucked down but instead it just got blocked.

It's been blocked now for 4 months and I'm shitting into plastic bags.

>>1153112
ok they are made of cotton, if you try to dissolve it you will dissolve the pipe before you do, so again, you cant dissolve it

have you even tried bending a cloth hanger and see if you can hook some of the shit out

The switch was huge relative to the splitter.

I know people have backlit other screens like the Gameboy, maybe you could just follow one of those on your drum machine.
