From experience, dump your girlfriend. You'll find you're looking in it a lot less.

Seriously though does steam have an affect by shrinking leather?

>>1036884
Already did that.

I just threw away a bunch of junk from the small 'pockets' a couple days ago and the remaining (useful) stuff tends to fall out since the slots have been loosened by the aforementioned garbage. I don't want any of my shit dropping out of my wallet at any time. What do?

>>1036889
How about fashioning a flap sewn to the top with velcro or a snap at the bottom to cover the slots?

buy cheap rc cars, gut its electronics transplant them. Call it your invention. Cool car steve, win at life get into MIT and freebies from Microshill

>>1036837
yeah i would like to avoid gutting an existing thing.

Ahmed here gave the best advice, best if you cause an uproar and then transition it's cause to racism. That way it will get promoted beyond comprehension.
My personal advice: look for a site like elecrow where you can work together with them and they sell and produce your template and you get your share, even as a barebone kit they will probably add it to their inventory because they have a few lasercutters. It's chinese of course, i ordered pcbs there.

Red to positive of the battery
White to one side of the switch
Additional wire from negative of the battery to other side of the switch.

So I assembled this. But the motor doesn't turn on in the on position unless I physically press the wires into the battery.

>>1036869
Ah no, that's what we call parrell. Good way to kill the battery quickly.
Are you sure the motor is rated for only 1.5 volt?

>cheap
>Good

Pick one, there's your answer.

Is this for a dji drone? Had a crash with mine (phantom 3 advanced), and the yaw arm just broke. 3D printed it, put back the connectors (Which i bought on the official site, chinese ones actually don't work at all.) and now it films okay. Have to say that my camera is dji's, not gopro.

There is a problem, but i think it is from the crash : the motors won't work, and the app indicates a "gimbal roll error". I think it is the gyro that must be stuck... If anyone has had the same :)

Also, dji is famous for the roll error of its gimbals, apparently (though i haven't experienced it personnally), the stabilisation isn't perfect. Just so you know.

Yeah the fucking firmware or what ever doesn't work. Gives you fucking errors and what not. I have mine glb 3axis sitting on the shelf collecting dust because of that.

get more than 1 quote.. ideally at least 3.. the cheapest one is gonna screw you somewhere in materials or shortcuts.. the most expensive is just gonna screw you.. go with the middle one.. don't be afraid of calling around and asking a few different places telling them company x quoted me x dollars for this, and asking them what they'd charge.

Here's a DIY suggestion, DIY. This is about doing it yourself not hiring someone to do a proper job.

Assuming an r22 system and it was installed with shutoffs on the condenser so they can save what gas you have in the condenser while replacing the coil, maybe $600. If they can't save your gas $1000. If your coil is hard to get out >$1300. Coils run around $300 bucks. Gas is around $100/lb. Labor depends on where you live.

>lent it to a coworker

this is where you put your fingers in the handle, grip it real tight, and smash the back end into the coworker's skull.

looks like the dipshit fucked up the rear load slide.

Big mistake.

Remove the loading slide by unhooking it (piece sticking out on the left side in your pic) and pulling it out. Some staples may have gotten stuck in the slide. Get a piece of wire, bend a little hook on the end, stick it into the staple slide and pull the bent ones out.

Reload with fresh staples and never let it out of your sight again.

>>1036605
push in on the thing shoved up it's ass and give it a quarter turn to the left.

what is it going to be able to do that a miter saw and a circular saw with a guide, couldn't?

>>1036501

Go much quicker. I am finishing a project that required a lot of long cuts and it was quite a pain to get accurate straight cuts using a circular saw. Would have been a hell of a lot easier to just slap the wood up against an adjustable fence.

I just bought a Bosch 4100 with a gravity rise stand, and it has proven to hold up to all the positive reviews. I'm pretty new to woodworking and have been using it almost daily for just under a month now.

I was extremely frugal waiting for a sale, and I managed to get home depot to price beat a local store. Reg sale price here in Canada land is 699-799 +13% tax, I paid 545 all in. Great buy IMO.

maybe, he sprung for a slightly bigger than 9" laptop,, as opposed to an overpirced hipster-meme desk, could just lie on the floor like the rest of us.

@OP - hydraulics. I'll say no more, but, someone else might. Youd still need an existing (or new) tabletop, and a bit of metalwork (prob welding) - that + height adjustment, you aint /diy/ing shit under $200, srs.

"adjustable" could be as simple as sticking a car jack underneath it, or manually lifting it and sicking a bolt in the side

Ty. Still no email or phone reply. I don't wanna spam them. I'm sure I'm only one of several hundred, possibly thousands.

Looks like rockwool to me. Home build in the 1960s? My old place was full of the stuff. Why they use brown as a color I have now clue. Its like 60% fiberglass and 40% wool. See if you can find a full bat of the stuff that still has the paper on it. It generally tells you what it is and what materials its made out of.

Why bother, do it empirically

-Calculate the cross sectional area
Search: brass temperature vs current
Search: melting temp of brass

I found charts talking about the coefficient of temperature? I never took maths in thermodynamics, not sure how to use numbers like "1.5x10^-3" (the temp coefficient of brass apparently) to get an amperage that will melt it...

Not worth it. The part to fix it costs more than the tv costs brand new more than likely. Sadly, most tv's are this way.

>>1035972
>TV screen repair? I got this for free and the screen ended up being broken and I was hoping I could repair it. If any errors sorry I'm on mobile, any help would be appreciated.


See if you can find a TV similar that is broken but has a good screen.

Also wtf is that brand just scrap it.

>>1035972
The panel is the main value of the TV really. If the panel's broken, the TV is effectively worthless.
If you *really* wanted, you could tear it down and try to find a replacement panel. The panel should have a part number on it somewhere.

Lye soap (old school) and diesel. Is what real napalm is made of.

Personally I'm a fan of using petroleum jelly for napalm, I find it makes for a better end product, is more user friendly and kind of more fun to make

I had a formula for c3 (the explosive- same concept as c4).
Lost it when old PC crashed.
Can probably google it.
Hope you're on a proxy though.
But I can just buy tannerite©

you're mixing up pins and pads, maybe that's why no one responds.
Provide non-shitty pics of the board please..

*Facepalm* You are right, I honestly didn't even see the pins, had to bring out the magnifying glass just to see it. I'm filled with stupid!

Btw do you know how I can figure out which order the pins are?

>>1036024
post more of the board?

Do the white bits move down to activate the switch?

>>1035961
Yeah

Managed to do it somehow with different glue. Sorry for making thread for this, I didn't notice there was a thread for small questions. Gonna delete this one soon
