if you want a security camera, no matter what you do you're going to need a DVR with lots of storage, which is going to be a big cost
IIRC there's a android app in the f-droid repo that turns any phone into a IP camera

I'll do whatever it takes.

Spread powdered iodine around your car, then put powdered ammonia on top of the iodine.

Need more information than that. What kind of mold? Where is it? What's it growing on?
A bleach solution will work in most situations, but you need to keep the bleach to water ratio at 1:16 or lower depending on what you're cleaning, whether it's a living space, the quality of the ventilation, etc.

>A bleach solution will work in most situations
Bleach's strength is ionic, and as such the killing power stays on the surface. You'll need other things (like quatenary ammonium) to penetrate below the surface. That said, bleach can't hurt. But mold is fucking tough, and mold spores are everywhere.

>>1049468
Their website makes it look like scam shit, but concrobium actually works pretty well. BUT the mold was caused by something, and if you don't fix that problem, you're fucked.

Similarly if the mold has penetrated porous surfaces too thoroughly, you're going to have to trash it.

So anything paper or cloth, toss. Same with the sheet rock. Any wood studs, take and shave with a knife, if the wood inside is also black, it has to go. Fix your moisture problem. Spray everything with the concrobium, and follow instructions on label. Seal cleaned surfaces with Kilz or similar. Rebuild the demo's shit (lay new floor coverings, put on new sheetrock, etc).

Get your air quality tested before moving back in.

I play with cheap padlocks as my personal take on a rubix cube, don't have any real tools or skill though. How did you pick it up? Did you buy or make your picks?

>>1049105
I'm the head of the resident council. We already have a service where people can leave a spare key with us that we then unlock their doors with for free when they lock themselves out. But only half the dorm have spares down there, and it hurts me every time a qt grill in pajamas have to call one of those greedy fucks.

So if that was the case, we would already be constantly blamed for shit being stolen. But no one steals anything anyway except for milk and freeze pizzas from the shared kitchens.

Just get another garage door remote and open it at the same time.

>>1049023
>without worrying about carbon monoxide building up in the garage even with the door open.

If the door is open you don't have a fucking problem so cease worrying.

Otherwise, buy a proper exhaust duct. If you ever have a fire your insurance company will not be pleased you Presidentially Engineered an exhaust duct.

>exhaust terrifies my ignorant ass but how can I ignore fire codes because I'm cheap and foolish

There are plenty of parts and systems available online. Google "garage exhaust kits" etc.
Hot rod and other forums have info too.

>>1049023

Don't.

It's just asking to come into your garage and see your dead kid on the floor.

Not how light works. Eyes don't have FPS, just cut out a lot of intermediary information to make jittery motion seem smooth. It would look like a column of light, not a helix.

>>1048889
you can use a rotating head of a water gun of some sort, and an internal led to light up the stream from within the gun itself.

you won't actually make it out of actual laser, that is for certain, so you will have to think of creative ways for the "effect".

>>1048892
>>1048899
How though ? It's doable with water.

https://youtu.be/nPBdImGeFxs?t=442
jump to 7:18

Maybe it would be possible to eject a high speed liquid with led lighting it up from the gun to make that effect. But I'd rather do it with a laser.

>>1048382
problem you are going to run into is since you pulled the 18650s from multiple packs they will be different capacities, resistances, and levels of wear which is pretty bad to make a battery pack from.

>>1049290
I could use them from the same pack?

That'll give me up to roughly 36w of battery power iirc

>>1049294
same pack will be fine

You're going to need a 4" nylon brush and some latex flat wall paint. First to prime the surface submerge it in acetone for 1 hour. As far as the paint it looks like Hershey Kiss Brown

>>1046339
why not just buy "gaming fans" they are pretty cheap and are much better at the job then standerd fans are

but any paint will do fine, just make sure to do all the proper surface prep i know JaysTwoCents has a video up on his youtube page you should check out

light brown and dark brown, every different brand has a different name for each colour so just pick the closest

>>1046343
which one? there is 2 different shades of brown

theyre pretty hard to come by unless you buy the official ones

>mushrooms
that's what I would have suggested

>>1046204

Any suggestions on a strain? I know shiitake and oyster are popular. Any other suggestions? Nobody in my local market really sells mushrooms other than the super market (cremini, white button, oyster kits, portabello ect).

>>1046205
other people might have an opinion, but I'd focus on whatever I could grow cheapest that has some demand

there are torrents with mushroom literature; if you have a library, that might be a good place to look for info

earlier this year I tried spreading some wild native species onto logs....I don't think the season started yet, however I'm anxious to see if anything comes of it.....certainly growing them inside with jars or bags would be faster

I can't wait to try making some mushroom jerky

Most likely the head gasket is shot. The 2.5 is terrible about blowing head gaskets.

>>1045470
Clean the car, check for new oil. Also look in your radiator. If its got oil in it it's probably a blown head gasket. Also have a mate follow you around for a bit and see what the exhaust looks like.

>>1045470
Head gaskets. Will wick out from the centerline and cover the entire engine. Welcome to Subaru.

To confirm, pressure wash the bottom of the engine so it's spotless, then turn it over/run it a bit until it starts dripping. The first drops should appear somewhere around the head/block seam, possibly directly over the front axles.

Cutting parallel bars on a mill at school, decided to brush away some chips but the mill grabbed the chip brush and mangled it.

In metal shop at school, we had a row of big lathes to work on, teacher gave us a safety talk and demo, fucknut on the lathe next to me started his lathe up with the chuck key still in the chuck, it flew past my head so close I felt the breeze and embedded itself into a concrete ceiling, teacher called him a dimwit amongst other things and I gave him a good pummelling after class for nearly killing me.

Spinney things are fucking dangerous and scary when shit goes wrong.

Was using a brad nailer on a small project. The nail took a 45 degree turn, came out of the wood and into my hand down to the bone. Hurt like a bitch when I pulled it out.

Anyone know where I can get the 6mm rubber hose for airtripper's bowden extruder without pyaing $20+shipping for a long roll?

I'm ordering a Prusa I3 MK2 next month. I haven't been this excited for ages.

So I've finally gotten antsy enough to rip up the cube and gut it I like the dump buckets, and assuming I can figure out the wiring for the head, the head and motor assembly is pretty nice as well.

I've ordered a 200W DC DC step down from 24V to 12V, so I can run these normal things.

>>1033430
Why isn't the whole process automated yet?

>>1033440
It is, people don't bang out knives by hand to sell in stores.

And then there's industrial forging.

Should I use mystery steel for knives? Why not?

Try the "print on a t-shirt" things." find a cheap source of silicone, maybe from cheap mouse pads or kids toys lol.

>stretchy fabric and just whip some up if
That seems like a reasonable option, look into silk screening services and the like. Custom T-shirts or whatever.

I have no idea what these things are, but just figuring here, you could get a decent proxy of a tit by using a fill of expanded polystyrene beads with a thin EDPME or silicone manifold around them-- maybe with some low density foam under that...

Point being the beads would give that 'watery jiggly' feel, but are nobby, so we want to guard against that tactile with the foam and silicone manifold to smooth everything out.

The big problem here-- tits are ALLOT more massive per cubic cm than expanded plastic beads.

Oh, another option-- fuck I can't remember what it's called, it's a mix of detergent, non Newtonian fluid-- corn starch derp-- and polystyrene beads.

It was sold as a product in the 00s, OH I remember-- FLOAM! You can find recipes for it easily enough.

Another goopy thing you might want to look at would be boron slimes-- there's a bunch of different types, several of which you can make with household crap you probably have laying around, borax, PVA glue, table salt, etc.

There, OP, you now have research vectors-- FOR SCIENCE!

>>1052333
Oh shit, I just happen to have a tub of Borax slime laying in my room, I'll be sure to try that out!
