Maybe a nice smart pair of brouges with a thick heel.
my feeling is you need an incredibly sturdy heel in your shoe, trainers may prove difficult.

what were the wheels attached to in the wheelies?

>>1134800
You can buy adult heelies. Just Google it. They are still around

>>1134857
>sturdy
you need fucking platformers or something. ask rdj where he gets his shoes.
probably some metal c bracket molded into the rubber sole or something?

Looks like a pretty standard 3s battery

And the connector is absolutely standard but that one specifically is for the individual batteries and hot for huge loads (think charging not flying)

What are the dimensions?

Non shrink quick set grout
Think a 50lb bag is like 12 bucks and a 20lb bucket is 14.

thank you =)

Be sure to clean it with a wire brush first.

>how to keypad lock a door
it depends on your overall security strategy and opsec, a keypad can be bruteforced at night, a door lock can be picked open, windows can be smashed, your helper might leave the door open, your helper might not return the key, etc

it is impossible to comment without your situation in detail, you can weld the door shut but it would still be meaningless if there is a window next to it.

Is pic related not an option?
Seems if it is house keys then this would be much simpler of a solution

I'm really not even sure. I just don't want to make it easier for an intruder than it already is. I have a home alarm but my dad is a stroke survivor and my mother is a diabetic with heart disease and I work 9 to 5.

This could be an option as the only reason is that the helpers don't want a bunch of keys. Thanks

Out of curiosity, how hot is your bathroom?

>>1134281
normal temp, maybe 70f, 73f at most. It's hella humid in my area, so water condenses readily wherever there's a significant temperature difference. It's a common problem with toilets from what I understand

would a hydrophobic coating make the water drip down, or just repel the water vapor and prevent condensation in the first place?

>>1134387
it would be cool to form a drip path by selectively coating the toilet with the seal and adding a small fan to direct the condensed droplets there like beads of sweat down a fat magic player's butt crack . orrrr run a fan with, like you said, a sponge filter at the intake. but give the sponge enough cross sectional area area to catch a lot of water and let the drip of the sponge again feed to the original water source.

Not gonna happen. Anything that cheap won't be close to flat. Get DMTs or get some cheap oil/water stones. Why are you set on diamond?

>>1134148
well I enjoy the harbor freight ones, but definitely not that flat.
I mostly use it for the 200 grit one.
next level up (that actually goes to a decent grit) is Chef's Choice.

You may need to get DMT if you go up to a grit where dead flat is really important, like 6k or 12k.
i decided to stop at 1200/1k

>whatisanarkansasstone.jpg

there's nothing wrong with using a simple oil stone

I'll only bump this once. I've done other wood finishes, those are pretty easy and simple, but never worked with lacquer let alone Japanese variety.

>>1134113
Look on YouTube for the lacquer episode of Takeshi's Art Beat, he goes through the whole process with a master craftsman

Dunno if you live in the states, but I was looking into it once and it seemed like it's kind of hard to get actual urushi lacquer because it's caustic and toxic.

>>1134041
be carefull about cardboard because most cardboard that can be easily found just laying around will be very suspectible to dents. Like if you press your palm into it when you're leaning to get something behind the monitor.

>>1134043
Very true, thanks.

For super ghetto budget you could get piece of plywood and cover it with female stockings.

2 @ .16A = .32A = 320mA for the two existing fans
The adapter is good for 500mA so you have 180mA to spare.
if the new fan also draws .16A (160mA) , you're just under the limit of 500mA, so that's fine.

>possibly with a 100ohm resistor
>12v .16a
R = V/A = 12/.16 = 75 ohms (assuming the new fan is the same as the old ones)
adding a 100 ohm R would drop the fan voltage to (R/Rt)*V = (75/175)*12 = 5.14Volts, and reduce the current to 12/175 = 69mA.

12V, 160mA = 1.92watts
5.14V, 69mA = 0.35 watts
Don't know how well thet would work.

>kill a watt says it uses a .7 power factor and 400mA from the outlet.
Meaningless. It includes the power consumed by the adapter which is unrelated to the output current capability of 500mA.

If in a pc just wire the fan to 5v

>>1135429
5V may not be enough to spin some fans, an alternative is to wire it between 12 and 5, so you get 7V

Here's an in-game sprite of the baby.

hopeless bump

/diy/ is a slow board. Give it at least 24 hours. This thread isn't going anywhere.

Car amplifiers generally use a different design that doesn't require both positive and negative voltages, but does require two wires to go to every speaker instead of using a common ground.

The Chinese sell 12v car amplifiers for only $10-20, but when connected to the noisy 8-14v you get in a running car, they tend to die in a few months.

Consider buying a vintage tube carradio : most of the times they lack FM and only come with deprecated wave bands.

Once you get your hand on one of those, just get one of those cheap bluetooth to audio module and wire it right after the preamp/mixer tube.

Nobody will blame you for not willing to hear cellphone jamming on longwave radio, and considering how your kügelwagen looks like she has been well cherished, it will be shame to put a modern cheap/gook/plastic amp into it

That actually is what a French drain is.... but they are not about draining massive amounts of water. They are designed to provide a patheay of low hydrostatic preasure for ground and normal rainfall to follow away from the foundation of your house.
For right now. If tou are the lowest of the low points your boned. But if your not, and there is some where you can pump the water to (city storm drain would be ideal,) goto harbor freight and buy a gas or electric ( but really gas is best) powered irrigation pump. Preferably one that does not need to be primed. And a discharge hose.

Pump the water out ,but not into someone elses property ( that is asking to be sued ) if there is a city drain or a creek bed, that would be best.


For your home i hope you have a sump pump if you have a basement.

If you just have a crawl space, clear a path for water to drain.


Once this all passes talk to your insurer. You may need flood insurance, as most if not all "flood " damage is not covered under homeowners insurance

thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

I dunno, that mole holocaust thread was pretty interesting though.
