What the fuck is wrong with you?

This is a new level of terrorism.

There are no "standard house key profiles" because of degenerates like you.
There is a ton of different types of the same shaped key.

Its done so retards like you can just buy a random key off amazon and then hand file it to work.
Also no, Schlage is not a particularly popular keyset

>>1037568
>degenerate

lol
So you're saying all makes of keys are different?
Kwikset, Defiant, Brinks...

Food coloring? I don't know how many pipes you have going on, but putting different food coloring down them will tell you which one is leaking or if a main junction pipe is leaking. Then you know exactly which way to look.

>>1037467
>Food coloring?
I thought about this. I'm not sure if it's a drain pipe leaking, or a supply line (or valve, etc).
I suspect I'd have a hard time collecting enough of the dripping water to see the color.

>>1037464
Just follow the pipes man, look where it's wet.

No place for a window unit? I've actually seen people buy a cheap door, and mount a window AC in the door because they were renting. They just swap out the door back to the original one when they leave. Kinda sucks entering and exiting but it works.

If you have a shopvac and the humidity is low you can make a swamp cooler where you can direct the air flow right to you, or up your pant leg, where ever (used mine for my welding helmet for uber cool welding and no fume breathing)

>>1037466
No windows.

While the Shopvac might work, I already have industrial fans, but it gets so hot that blowing hot air back onto yourself doesn't help much.

Thanks though.

No man, I mean swamp cooler.

Just check the dewpoint for your location.

>The rule of thumb is that your swamp cooler will "cool" the air to about 10 degrees higher than the dew point. If the dew point is 60, then the most efficient swamp cooler would cool the air to 70 and a medium efficient swam cooler would cool it to 75. If the temperature 100, but the dew point is 60 (as in the example above) then you will see a good cooling effect from your swamp cooler. If the temperature is 80 and the dew point is still 60, there is no difference in how your swamp cooler will work. The temperature essentially makes no difference in efficiency. Now, if the dew point goes up to 65, then the swamp cooler will only cool to 75 or 80 and it is not very efficient. The temperature of 100 with a dew point of 65 will keep you very warm in the house. Now, if the dew point is 55, then the temperature can be over 100 and your swamp cooler is efficient!

You don't need a "cr", just put some diode on it.

>I want to state that I don't know WTF I'm doing. I don't know what the /diy/ board culture is, but I assume it's like the rest of 4chan and filled to the brim with assholes (or not, since you fucks probably have a slow moving board). Please feel free to roast my anus and tell me how stupid I am.

You must be misunderstanding, we are not gay here and we will not engage with sadistic butt penetration with you, you should go to other boards for this, otherwise keep it to yourself and never talk about it again.

But won't B1 overcharge without it?

Also if the batteries are connected in series (?) through the charge controller, will the voltage the PSU receives be additive? (In my example, 44V.)

>>1037396
That is not what I meant, I mean, you don't need B1 at all, just get two B2s, and then make a mechanical switch that will do a quick switch over, then you can just plug in one, use it till near dry, and the plug in the second one, switch over, take away the first one, done

>>1037339
Just solder the wires to the posts

solder wires in the pinholes and ditch the pins altogether?

>>1037294

>>1037294
Either change the battery, or change the size of the gears and/or wheels. Any of these will either do exactly what you want, or screw everything up completely.

>>1037333
This. Can get smaller pack and less runtime but its gonna be heavy no matter what.

China is especially bad about this, but the gear is part of the wheel or wheels for power. You maybe could change it but i fuck sure wouldnt. Fucked uo 2 already.

Good luck op. Id just buld the custom deck and jet.

It also has these holes which i believe are from insects, I would imagine after stabilizing they would only make it sturdier but if anyone thinks otherwise let me know.

Large pvc pipe? Says "no pressure" but i havent ever had a tater canon explode. Hillbillies all over here use pvc for shop air lines.

Vacumn pump

Profit?

Maybe pull vaccumn on an old fridge? Im in about the same boat. Wanna make resin/wood gun stocks and furniture

Bacteria growing in your water heater. If your unit has a communal heater, it may be affecting all of them.

Well water.
It will never change.
Look it up.
Spend $100 a month on filters or move.
Shit sucks man I'd rather stank like ass and pussy than take a shower ever again in that water.

>>1037225
What sort of filters?

The lacquer has probably gone to shit. Just slather on some silvo and polish it up.

>>1037212
try wd-40 and some steel woll if you're not wrried about the surface finish. if you are worried about the surface finish, well you shouldn't have gotten a rusty instrument.
happy playing anon

>>1037220
don't do this

>>1037166
you have to use very fine stones for clippers due to how they work

>>1037166

As previously mentioned, you need a very fine grit to get an effectively-sharpened blade. Ridges in the cutting edge will tend to grab strands of hair before cutting them.

It also needs to be very flat, to ensure even mating between cutting surfaces. Personally, I use sandpaper and a surface plate (I do machine work), but most glass panes are very flat due to the way they're produced and can be used the same way. I go up to 2500 grit, which works, but still isn't really high enough to be ideal, it seems. Doesn't cut quite like new, but much better than dull.

Also, do you have enough oil on the blades? The oil is critical not for just ensuring the blades slide easily, but in ejecting any stray bits of hair from between the mating surfaces.

when it comes to hair clippers i've found it's better to just replace them every so often or buy a really good set and have them professionally sharpened. another benefit of a good set is that you can often order extra blades

I would imagine a drill hooked up to a salad spinner??? Why do you want one?

>>1037120
find a fast motor and attach over 9000 pounds of counterweight to it

There are already machines like this. Can't give you any brand names but I read about it months ago.

>>1037001
I discovered one when I was doing preliminary research but I'd rather make my own than pay $500 for one.

>>1037002
It will cost you more than $500 in opportunity cost.

Any way, what's the occasion? Do you have access to large amounts of circulating currency? If you're thinking of getting tons from the bank and then return it I heard that's very hard nowadays. And often they only find a couple dollars worth of silver.

I think you should go with your gut instinct on this one

Yes, it would be a bad idea. Those coolers don't even work that well, and there's next to no reason to try to keep your computer any colder than it is normally besides dickwaving rights. If you overclocked it to the point where it wouldn't be stable unless you had a cooler hooked up to it, you'd have to constantly worry about keeping it stocked with ice lest your computer overheat and crash on you. Not to mention overclocking is a pretty minimal return investment on modern computers. It hasn't made sense (economically) to invest anything into overclocking in like a decade.

>>1036922
Yes it will destroy your PC.
If it runs hot, do a proper mineral oil submersion setup like any nerd worthy of his pocket protector.
If you just want cheap a/c for the summer months, try it out.

Honestly, we have these threads weekly.

The consensus is any of the big name brands will compare just as well when put to task. Doesn't matter.

Only buy old used power tools if your sure new replacement battery's are available.

>I'm considering manual tools
Fucking top idea, old boy - that will save us all having to read the shitfest that this thread is shortly about to become.

Not that I CGAF really either, but, I think it was actually TTI/Milwaukee got taken to court by Makita for shady practices - which may have been yet another issue tho, they all at it.

>Should I go to yard sales
yes.
>there are none at my Uni
aint none in my back garden either - solution?
