As long as there is water in the tank no.

Is it gas or electric?

You need to turn off the breaker if it's electric or turn off the gas if it's obviously a gas heater.

It will burn the heater elements out if you leave the power on and the water turned off.

it's an A O Smith electric 75 gallon. the weird thing is that hot is bleeding up the cold water line so the sink is getting warm water when it should be cold, and hot when hot. what the fuck? I am sure there is some broken copper because when I shut the cold intake to the heater the leak stops, the tank is full and heats up ~ I hear this a couple times a day.

is this some vaping shit?

Idk started recently trying to quit smoking and came up to this idea and wanted to share

why is your atheist flute wearing a neck ruff like a victorian duchess?

Go to a fabric/upholstery shop, bring a piece of the vinyl for color matching, buy a sheet of vinyl, copy the shape of the old piece and sew it together.

>>1152790
this material is pretty old and slightly hardened. I'm not sure if it'd sew on that well, and the sewing holes seem like they would get worn quickly. This is just what I imagine.

Plus I don't think it'd look very good to have some patched on spot on my seat. Not really the aesthetic I'm going for with this car.

>>1152802
I think he meant to replace the whole piece.

bump.
I know its nothing fancy, but I don't wanna burn my flat down because I used the wrong stuff

This is a dorm room, so that means its a rental...and you never change/adjust/redo/add value to something you don't own...

However, you can get foam pipe insulation for this quite cheap...pic related is about $3.00 Can...

You could use pipe insulation from the local hardware store.

I like the rust myself, it gives it a unique look you can't duplicate

>>1152630
that sounds an awful lot like 'nope it's fucked'

>>1152592
wtf are you doing with that tank in direct sunlight?
that's not where you place a tank.
shrimp generally don't like high temperatures, so put them the fuck away from there and get some proper lighting and god dammit a filter and some flow.
those shrimp will be dead in a few days if you don't

If you want to be semi successful get cray fish and some cover for them.

Must be nice having cherry shrimp that live, my little guys keep dying.

Air turns soap into foam

Look up how to make a Venturi valve

It's what comes after the soap reservoir on those premise pieces of shit

Your PC will be blowing dust over your drying vegetables/magic mushrooms

Depending on the airflow through the unit, you'll be reducing your airflow through your pc, so just do some initial stress tests and check temps. also I didn't think dehydrators were heated, it may work faster at the expense of quality.
At that rate you're better off just mounting a pc fan to a box that way it's mobile and easier to use. Simple battery pack/switch for power

>>1152100
Could a filter solve this? I dont see how a little dust could ruin the product

>>1152045
not your personal tumbler

#mykindathread.

I drove a limo out of the junkyard and resurected that bitch recently. Pic related was a 4 wheeler almost burried in a dump. 99% sure it has a valve stuck. Almost got the head off. Probably getting a $550 big bore kit for it because i hear good things.

If nothing else it was worth torching for a go cart rear end.

He will never post the pic.

Cnc what?

>>1152051
3-axis CNC router for milling/carving wood
Sure if it does metals then that's a great bonus

Lead is good for the simplicity factor I don't see tesla going lead any time soon. Even lead takes some looking after.

>>1152007
Expensive as fuck to save some weight. Ideally with care they beat the cost of lead. But being 2 or 3 times the cost and from /biz. For me they would never be worth it. >muh eth buh eth how much eth do u have i want to into eth should i buy eth etc...

Lifepo batteries are a game changer in the yachting industry. Supposedly much safer than LiIo, lighter, less component toxicity, better charge cycling, and able to draw more power from them. Co$t is a bit daunting, as all emerging technology usually is. I'd be interested in getting some at some point in time.

Was reading Pacific Yachting magazine and saw this article in it. Gives some good info and figures:

>Do you have any ideas of a more maleable material?
You should consider using hydroponics style coconut fiber mats

>Will the Ivy or other plants struggle when growing over the wire?
Doesn't seem like a problem

>From 0-10, how creepy is it?
Probably an 8
Slightly more creepy than plushies, but not quite at the end of the scale. Try to pass it off as art and it's a 5.

>>1151951
>coconut fiber mats
excellent idea, I will use it as to fill up empty places and help the plants attach to it.
