I'm a really smart guy. But I didn't learn the same way as normal people, normal people don't even know how to teach a kid that's smart as shit. They thought I was slow because I hated all their stupid worksheets and long solutions to simple math but I seemed really smart, so they put me in advanced classes. I ate that shit up like manna from heaven. And then I breezed through my normal schoolwork as well because I felt like they acknowledged my intelligence by giving me harder more interesting problems. Some kids just fall out of love with school, get bored and don't pay attention. Like literally to the point that I had a teacher that was so stupid I mentally blurred out pretty much everything she said with "bla, bla, bla..." This woman told me in third grade I was ignorant to have accidentally written 4 - 12 on the board(during a speed exercise, I was doing 5 simple problems during a set timeframe) because "everyone knows in subtraction the big number goes on top." Whole class chuckling at me a little. I say how is that true, what about negative numbers? 4 -12 is -8!!!! She says "there's no such thing as negative numbers".... I shit you not. Class laughs at me, haha Chris thinks there's "negative numbers" whatever that means haha!

yea me too

The unit must be programmed to start on power fail If it's not, you are SOoL.

Meaining when you cut power to the device via wifi, it would realize it was a power fail and wait for power to be applied again and re-start to last known state.

It's usually a feature that is needed - like on servers and new computers for instance.

Get her the iFixit 64bit pro tool kit. Great multibit screwdriver, and it has all of the non heated things you need to open and fix electronics. Lifetime warranty like the tools of yore, and having those skills can make you side serious side cash.

Thanks buddy! That's exactly the kind of thing I want to get for her.

Any others are still welcome :-)

Bought a kwik-spin snake 25 foot long thing put it about 10 feet into the drain before it coiled on itself but hose pipe still sprayed with no back up and nothing was on the snake.

I can't figure it out.

>>1101208

The reason you have no problem with the bucket and the house is because how the toilet seals the connection. Flushing is just adding material to the drain, the exhaust generally happens at the top of the house via plumbing vent. This is why you are getting gurgling as well, your exhaust is clogged somewhere or isn't level and got some water from the roof in it.

The reason it happened after changing the toilets, maybe the sealed pressure down the system was preventing water from seeping down the exhaust. Once removing the toilet you created a temporary pressure relief allowing things to move more freely.

>hose pipe
wtf is a hose pipe?


in general you're not describing the problem very clearly....but like >>1101303 said it sounds like a venting issue

Bummpingg for shared interest

>How would I go about painting the stamped metal?
clean the stamping lube off and apply paint. im thinking an airbrush would make sense on such a small scale, details would have to be brushed by hand.

>and would some hand made wooden moulds suffice before mass production?
for hammering maybe, probably not for stamping

>Yea its gonna suck hand hammering all the bodies at first.
i mean, its only a small percentage of the work that will go into the whole product.

>>1101250

>airbrushing

would that work for such small intricate details? I started looking into a process where you print the design and then transfer it onto the metal,trying to figure out if thats process that can be done at home with out chemicals

>Why are these used so often when they are so easily removed without the proper driver?

No good reason

>Are there any screw types that are actually truly tamper proof?

One way screws

>>1101084
One way screws don't usually work either. Most I've seen still have the head exposed enough to grab with vice grips

Garage floor cover. 150 bucks max

>>1101029
what is this? more info/links?

just paint it. when my grandfather built this house he spent a lot of money on the basement basically turning it into a big man cave. he just pained the floor so it didn't look like shit then used an area rug in TV area

So I know how to "wrap" an axis onto a cylinder(the one that rotates the ball.
Can I then "wrap" the other axis, that runs on an arch, and holds the tool... because the machine thinks it's a plane?

help a dumb-dumb out.

I couldn't find the manual you wanted but I found one for a harbor freight lathe. Here you go OP hope it helps.

you calculate the ratio, you'll need to measure the lead of your leadscew which will likely be imperial and writing down your available gears is also helpful

there are herb databases, if it interests you I doubt you'll have a problem reading about them.

why stop at herbs though, there are plenty of other chemicals that the body reacts to in similar ways.

>>1100876

I'm mainly concerned with plants because I live near a forest and I have the time to forage/gather plants

>>1100868
pro tip: get a LN Dewer and know where to get it filled. it will make powderizing your plants much easier.

you could just start plugging wires into outlets and see what happens

>>1100053
Sounds like you need to solder it

>>1100056
I'm thinkin red to red and black to black, cut off the other connector and attach it to the power supply since I'm using the full strip. Good idea? Bad? Using the wires at the wrong end of the box? Who the hell knows. I'm surprised google didn't give me a single useful bit of information
>>1100058
Yeah, but which wire to what? Might as well be moonspeak on the power supply, no general installation info on the website either

It's called energy efficiency. Swap it to some old clunker with more powerful heating elements.

And once the stuff cures with the door shut... how is he gonna get it open again?

one of your elements is burned out and you're limping along at half power.
might be one element at either side, or one top and one bottom element. simply replace the one that doesn't get glowing hot.

>but would it totally block out the light?
yes

>>1099535
Alright, thanks.

All I want is a piece of tape covering the whole light and blocking it out entirely, I shouldn't have to stick shit under it too.

>>1099533
It will dim it, but not block it all the way out
The blue painters tape will last longer than electrical tape

I have blue tape on my router, I can still see the indicator lights if I want to but its not piercing anymore.

>>1099294
common sense?

do it in a light breeze blowing away from you
don't put your nose/mouth in the line of fumes
use an exhaust fan/vent

don't apply this shit with your fingers, keep a box of toothpicks/qtips around for one time use.

>>1099294
>reading MSDS
MSDSs make pretty much everything sound super dangerous. You should keep in mind that they try to cover everything, including sensitive persons using the stuff in question all day every day for years.
So, basically this: >>1099301
And if it's just occasional brazing, you're unlikely to notice anything even without any protection. This isn't to say you shouldn't avoid pointless exposure.

Your primary concern should be heat, meaning hot metal, flame and the possibility of molten metal spray.

>>1099294
see if you can get a doctor to give you a baseline heavy metal test. this was suggested to me years ago and i didn't do it but now i wish i had done it.

A workbench/assembly table I recently made for myself.

No table saw?

>>1099169
Unfortunately not. I have a shitty old contractors saw that works as a table saw, sort of. It'll be my next purchase. Hard doing almost anything without one. Before I got this shop I was just using hand tools and tinkering on small projects. Now that I have the room, I've been buying tools as I get the money. There is more shop behind the camera, what's pictured is only about half. Still a little tight.
