I've got an infograph database that I've been developing for the past few years and I regularly post torrents on /out/. It's designed for the user to drill down to their specific situation which might take a bit to get used to.

Interested?

Type infographic or info into thepiratebay

Do you have any recommended books or websites for a novice? Im a trades electrical engineering student so I have a basic understanding of electricity if that will help.

Hi I'm very very VERY new to radios but I have recently purchased a couple of hang held 5w uhf radios. How difficult would it be for me to increase the range of these devices? They have stubby antennas but i can't seem to find anything more powerful.

How expensive would it be to get into CB?

Additionally, have you looked into amateur fm radio? I've been wanting to get into that forever

Considering there are bolt cutters that can open up to about 6 inches across I think you have already lost the arms race in that area. Just get a good quality lock and chain.

>>1086877
why?

almost in no circumstances that is the best solution, there must be other options to do what you want

Bolt cutters cannot cut through many U locks. The higher quality ones are very thick and made of steel as hard as a bolt cutter's teeth. You cannot make one better than these.

None can withstand a grinder, true, but that is very much beside the point.

You didn't give specific size of structure or orientation.

There's also clear corrugated roofing, but its more expensive.
Anything that will last to a decade+ will be expensive of course.

>>1086801
The walls are just over 8 feet, footing to ridge. It's about 30 feet long. How much is 4 gauge in mil or millimeters? Google just gives me wiring size conversions.

>>1086803
I looked into these and I was unable to find any wide enough to fit on the frame locally. I'll search again online.

Go to a local shoe store and try on boots with the features you want. We can post recommendations all day long, but in the end it comes down to which ones feel best for you personally, and you can't know that without trying them on.

Steel toed, non slip rubber boots, about 50usd

>>1086756
I misread and understood that you will be with your feet in concrete for 12 hr/day, that's why I recommended rubber boots, this anon
>>1086753
Is right

Also it starts when I spray start pilot but stops immediately when I stop.

You using new fuel, and not shit thats been sitting in a can?

Also check the carb needle float, and pump if it has one. If it runs on starter fluid, then its probably a fuel issue. Dump a little fuel stright into the intake. Give it a rip.

>>1086441
It's new fuel. I've sprayed it straight from the plug hole and it doesn't even try to start.
Seems weird if this is a carburator issue, since it runs on start pilot and the plug gets wet.
It should atleast be trying to start.

CPUs (and GPUs) come with their own oscillators since a long time. They even have multiple ones for different parts of the chip (for the newest GPU generations its somewhere in the ballpark of 5 if I remember correctly). I don't know how exactly it works for RAM though. I think the BCLK is also generated on the CPU package nowadays, and the board just uses multipliers of that for the RAM. Boards with wider frequency support just come with more multipliers.

>>1086365
>come with their own oscillators

on the die?? how does that work?

There is usually something relatively low frequency (tens to hundred MHz) which the PLLs on the CPU die use. Intel might have some more information available.

Simply do it yourself.

>>1086336
Seriously?

>>1086336
Pull on one side as far as you can, then cut it off with scissors.
Pull on the now short side and it should slide out.

don't use a coping saw, get a chisel

Use the chisel in your pic

pressure is really the only thing, more pressure and you'll see less spread, more focused combustion

you could try adding oxygen and shaping the explosion against a target surface, but it wouldn't be a flamethrower at that point

you could also try using liquid combustibles for a napalm effect

>>1086089
Liquid combustibles/napalm are illegal.
I'm new to combustibles, is oxygen added by just exposing the gas to outside air before igniting? Or would it need to be mixed via an oxygen tank?

I very much doubt a servo will have sufficient force.

Any way, you'll need a venturi behind the nozzle to get a hotter flame.

Teaching yourself programing is option. It takes no money and you can keep your lifestyle. Some people are stupid at everything else but get really good at it after a few years.

>>1085994
No I hate my lifestyle. I took some programming courses and I'd rather not try to kill myself. it's so boring.

I've been near sedentary for 8 years and I'm fat and unhealthy. I have started to exersize but I'm still unskilled and going nowhere in life. Idk how to learn DIY skills because I have no teachers and can't really figure out what to do anyway

Look on Craigslist or in your local newspaper for any construction firms or skilled trade companies looking to hire new apprentices with on the job training. When you get an interview be brutally honest-- you only have retail experience, no experience in construction and you're physically out of shape. But, you're going to make up for it by showing up early every single day and making a concerted effort to learn everything there is to know about the job. If they give you a chance, you make good on that promise. Your first month is going to suck ass, but you'll get through it. Your pay checks aren't going to earth shattering, but they will make retail and food service jobs looks like utter chump change.

On a longer time line you should look to accrue general experience over the years so you can transition into a mechanical trade (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc.) This is where the real money is at, and where you can learn skills for life that will let you live like a grown up, but are also portable to let you move anywhere and still make a good living.

3.5 mm ask your local music shop

>>1085987
Ye im pretty certain it's a 3.5mm Male to 2-Male but there is literally no where that seems to sell it. You'd think it'd be common as piss but i guess not. Unless im missing something...

They should be common. Maybe try looking for "aux cable"

it seems a more appropriate device would be a slide projector. you can find cheap ones working off a D battery for a couple of bucks at a thrift store. real projectors with the 200W bulb are around $8.

as for LED screens, i live near a small TV repair store, and like 9 out of 10 days, there will be dead LCD TVs in the lane next to it.

>>1085917
Looking at my lightbox now. It's probably 2 feet wide x 1.5 high and its pretty much just a frosted plexiglass type screen with some cheap bulbs in it. Shouldn't be to hard to put one together yourself.
But if you're trying to blow up a picture to paint by hand, I'd suggest turning your smartphone into a projector.

>>1085917

I made one for reversing hand drawn etching for circuits. Frame out of cheap 2x2 holds a cut down sheet of translucent plastic from a florescent lamp (the 2'x4' flat ones) backed with a sheet of thicker plexiglass I had lying around. The plastic for those lights is really thin so it needs some support. You might be able to get a thin sheet of fiberglass.

I lit mine with a regular bulb, but a florescent would work too.

That is a plastic lock made out of 3 numbers, you can crack it by hitting with a hammer
