>practical
not really, it is a dick to set up, but once it is set up it shouldn't have any problem running like normal screens, so the problem is do u want the hassle to go through getting the parts and making them work and potentially a fuck up somewhere will make everything not work.

>or just a novelty
yes

>>1121134
Wouldn't call it pure novelty

There is a point with recycling broken laptops like this to save money and on the other side you can do mods like wacom tablet + such a screen for a ghetto cintiq wich would cost otherwise 1000+ bucks.

>>1121133
not very practical as you have to build everything around but if thats no problem and you have them already laying around and willing to spend some money on controller, then its no hassle in my experience

you just have to be careful getting the right controller but the chink seller on ebay are pretty helpful, they will need a serial and pick the right themself

if you want to run all three together maybe try fitting you power source for multiple controller

My age is 23, can bone be remolded using constant pressure? Is there a medical thread? In 6"1 but was skinny fat until 19 and sedentary which could have exacerbated the deformity

Go to a doctor man... diying repairs to ur own body can fuck yourself up even worse. If you dont have the money, save up and wait until u do instead of trying to do it yourself. Better for a doctor with more than 20 years of experience to be held accountable than some anonymous podunk on an internet messageboard

Here's a pic of a normal led antenna.

glass is use because you need to draw a near vaccuum; anything flexible enough to bend will simply flatten under the difference in air-presure, raising the internal pressure.

>so glass and tungsten are a bit overkill.
Plasma is pretty corrosive. Glass is used also because it is air-tight and won't outgas much, unlike some random plastic hose.

>I can't seem to find anything about what pressure they are
Around 1/10 atm.
>how to get different colors
Current density has an effect and normal neon tubes just use different gases, gas mixtures and fluorescent coatings to get the desired color.

What did you do to start the yeast? It should have bubbled by now. Are you sure that the juices you used have no preservatives? Potassium sorbate maybe? It would cause it not to ferment

>>1120773
Gonna need a step by step recipe to know where you screwed up

Ingredients

Process

What you're fermenting in

Was everything clean when you started

Was everything properly rinsed after being clean

There are some stuff sold in stores to repair leather/pleather. But that stuff has its limits. What you have there is probably more worn than it looks. You can try glue.. probably won't look too good though. I'd use contact cement. Just be damn careful since when it sticks it's stuck forever... forever......... F O R E V E R

>>1120795
what type of contact cement would you recommend?

also, I came across spray adhesive. are spray adhesives strong enough?

>>1120752
Nigger rig it with styrofoam plates.
Cheap as fuck but also a fire hazard, so beware.

Since you can't open the ceiling and add insolation up there, you can't exactly hang it all that well.
Tips I do have. Bleed your radiators and bitch to your landload every. Single. Day. That it is cold because they'll fix it just to shut you up; worked for me
Second is to make sure your window close tight and you could put the clear plastic on them to insulate since you lose a lot of heat to windows.
Third, run an extention cord from a public (building) socket to under your door to power an electric heater.
If you have a gas oven which you don't pay for gas, when you get home turn the oven on for 3-4 hours the. Leave the door open when your done. Since you're not leaving it on 24 hours you're not going to sufficate yourself
Also, electric blanket works wonders at night, that's what I do as well

>>1120752
You should buy an ir thermometer and measure all walls and ceiling. This will tell you where to add insulation first. Insulate your ceiling the way they insulate house roofs - make a construction covered with drywall with mineral wool inside. Pick the coldest wall and do the same. Or do it with all of them if you have the money for materials. Do not forget water vapout isolation to prevent mold.

Also, if you pay any kind of renovation costs then go to administration meetings and push to have the building insulated from outside.

Kinda hard to tell what I'm looking at, but from what I'm gathering it looks a little overboard. As long as your supports are evenly spaced throughout the extra horizontal parts are unnecessary. Also are you only working with 2x4?

Way too much bracing if that's 2x4.

I'm also building a desk, the top is made out of 4 2inx10inx10ft that are pocket holed together. The 2x4 that is already screwed on is the back. The red lines is where I will put more 2x4s and the u shape in the middle is where the chair goes, the top is currently upside-down.

Yeah. The oily dirt muck that collects in factories. Do you call it something different?

>Do you call it something different?

I assume I must, since I've never heard that word before.

Google doesn't seem to have heard it used in that context, either.

looks cheap as fuck

It must be a very new product. I'd assume very specialized manufacturing. I just had my kitchen redone and didn't hear about this anywhere. I doubt you could do it seamless. That is also probably digitally touched up and doesn't show it 5 years later in a kitchen. My research for diy counters advice is butcher block followed by granite, followed by huge tiles mimicking a stone surface with very little grout and lastly Formica. Anything but off the shelf Formica is just to close cost wise to something much better. I have seen a few very good tiled countertops that seemed really nice for how much they save. Especially since 24 inch tiles now are pretty common. That's basically the same depth as a countertop. Just make sure the pattern isn't flowy so you don't have huge differences. Quartz countertops are the shit. I have Cambria in my bathroom and some German stuff in my kitchen. They tend to cost about 50 a foot though installed by someone else and normally a sink included. If you do a higher end tile plus backing it's maybe 10 to 15 a foot if you do it yourself.

>>1120383

Nope. Postform counters are limited in what you can do with them, and trying to mod them with a heat gun will (guaranteed) fuck them up big time...

After draining the water i see this almost nylon like string stuck to the base of the motor. Is this clogged and not supposed to be here?

probably stuck in the impeller. try removing it. unplug the pump first please.

>>1120310
Pulled it out. A thong from the previous residents. Works great now.

if its just the floor and you are handy with a drill then price up 3/4 to 1 inch ply.
if its the joists underneath then considerably more.
of course if its rot or infested its even worse.

>>1120187

Go take a look at it. Like >>1120188 said, you can do it yourself if it's just the subfloor. If it's the joists, then you're screwed. If it's water damage, you likely have mold issues and problems with the plumbing or roof.

If you have the money and its a bank property, give them half of what they're asking and they'll take it.

You should really go look at it though. Get a pair of shitty clothes on and climb under the house to see what the damage is from. If you can dig a screwdriver into the joists at all, then they're rotten. New joists are a pain in the ass to put in if you can't sister another to it.

>>1120188
This pretty much.

Usually a weak floor is due to water damage.

You really need to take a look at it. If the joists are fine and it is just a bad or rotted sub floor, it's a matter of tearing the floor out and putting down a new sub floor. 23/32 T&G is $23 a sheet here. Glue and screw. Then install a new flooring over it.

Bad joists are usually more work. Sometime you get lucky and the layout allows for you to just sister the existing joists with new ones.

It could also be failing supports. Previous owners could have removed a load bearing wall or support column in the basement. These are harder yet to fix.

It could even be something like massive settling or improper foundation. These are insanely expensive to fix.

You will want a competent contractor to look at it and likely a structural engineer.

Change the refresh rate.

No luck it' minorly helped but still suffers from a case of flickering screen.

Minor updated on that, switched the refresh rate to 50 and changed the resolution and it's still flickering though only on whiter pages like most blue board backgrounds and it's slightly more stable. Like i have a fucking vaporwave monitor.

>>1119948
Wow anon, you actually sound legit.

The answer to your question is yes, you can hook it up like that. The other thing is that you don't need a whole car battery. A smaller battery will still last a long time.

Here's what you do. Go get 2 lantern batteries (6V with the springs on top). Hook the positive from one battery to the negative of the other. Now, with the two springs left over, hook the + up to the CB + terminal. Hook the - up to the - terminal on the CB. Done!

When you hook the batteries up like that, two 6V lantern batteries become one 12V battery, just like in your car. Those lantern batteries will last a long time too. Probably several days of the radio being on. Godspeed anon!

>>1119950
Thank you for the constructive reply! I wasn't expecting that at all.

If I wire two lantern batteries in sequence (?) Like that, is there a certain gauge wire I should use?

And are they rechargeable? If so, how would I go about doing that?

I really like that idea. I think lantern batteries are a lot less expensive than a car battery, too. Again, thank you!

That pic looks more like a motorcycle battery, which would be easier to carry than a car battery. I think they are also 12V.
