Where can I learn to read crochet patterns?

>>1004999
My sister crocheted a blanket for me when I first left home, she must have worked on it for months, it's crazy comfy to wrap it around you in winter and just chill out all cozy as fuck.

Ask your grandma to teach you how to knit. Every single grandma can either knit or crochet. Plus its hands down the best grandma bonding time you can get.

Anyone else notice /ohm/ has been super sloe lately? Slower than usual.

I gotta wind myself some RF coils.
Should I put the secondary winding next to or ontop of the primary winding?

>>999021
Bifilar winding is better, so the B. It removes self inductance quite well, and in transformers will remove magnetic flux.

If you wanna know more search about bifilar coils, I only just about got the grasp of how they're used.

can you go back to school

This.

If you can't open the doors of a mini metro then you'll never make it as a car thief.

What's the matter with you, sweetheart? You didn't have to post, you know?

Got myself a bowl and water but I think I'm gonna get some rest first before I do anything else.

>>1009957
Make sure you measure out where exactly are your eyesight's are through the mask.

Thanks for the advice. Just woke up and getting back into it.

paint a giant sign for $10 handjobs on the shed and get to work

Bees!! 100 lbs of honey a year per hive.
Grow and sell cut flowers if you can set up a farm stand.
Goats are great especially paired with bees, candles, soap etc.
Whatever you do diversify your crops and income as much as you can so when one project fails another is still kicking.
Before anything I really recommend "The One Straw Revolution" By Masanobu Fukoaka. It's a short read that got me into permaculture and really makes you think about simple farming practices.

Nigger just use the strength. And you'd need four for three dimensional "triangulation". You also need a reference value, like the distance between known wifi points. Linear algebra, have fun.

Same with the GPS, you don't use the GPS, you would use the average for an individual GPS across many measurements, and use those for "triangulation".

If you ask around the arduino or raspberry pi programming/hardware forums, you could probably find someone who knows how to get raw wifi signal strength. a dB measurement would only get you a very, very small range of values. There has to be a more direct way to access the strength.

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-find-out-wireless-network-speed-signal-strength.html

iwconfig has some method of getting the decibels. If you dig into the source code, you could probably find what commands/library it uses.

>>1009624
>just use the strength
That might be a good idea outside but even if i'd measure accurate enought i'd expect heavy fluctuations of fieldstrength due to multipath fading and random shit that stands everywhere.
Considering the raspi stuff - i tried to avoid using this, but if i end up using graphical interpretation i'll probably use one anyways.

>>1009621

SLAM, typically with a scanning laser range finder. A kinect will do.

If you really want to do wifi localization you need a special wifi chip that supports channel strength information at a high rate. See more here:
http://dhalperi.github.io/linux-80211n-csitool/

SLAM using lidar performs better though

The missile knows where it is because it has really fucking accurate laser ring gyros. Some missiles also figure out where they are by look at pictures of the ground and comparing them with a maps database.

Some stone around here goes for a huge premium because the quarry it it was sourced from has closed so there's no other way to get the exact same stone for historical restorations.

>>1009614
it's not cheap because it's almost all hand made and lasts thousands of years.

>>1009623
Cotswolds?

If it had a hose attached to it possible a fuel filter

>>1009608
I'm guessing that it is some sort of combines weight and fuel filter to keep the fuel line down in the fuel as you move the machine around, but like I said this is a guess.

Have you tried googling for a diagram of your make and model of machine, it might let you know what it is.

that's exactly what it is. you can pick one up at home depot (they're all pretty much the same) at an inflated price or ebay from china in 2 weeks dirt cheap.

Voltage drop per LED should be around 3V for UV

You might need more voltage mate

Wire them in parallel you git. 12v = 1 motor || 4-5LEDs or 3LEDs + resistor if you're worried about avalanche

>>1009582
Tip here is that the same current goes through leds and this motor. LED will burn if you apply more than 20mA (it depends on led power, but i assume you are using small ones). On the other hand typical motor needs more than 20mA.
You'd better make it parallel (motor in one branch and leds in another)

the fuck, why'd he spend 10000 hours sawing out and chiseling the seats when he had a chainsaw?

>>1009123
And every tool he had was fucking rusty as fuck too, also hitting a plastic handled chisel with a metal hammer!

>>1009125
But still he made a ugly bench, with bad and ugly tools and in an ugly way. But at least he did it while you're still sitting here whining at someone who actually does something.

Eat the cat and get a real pet

For one you don't have enough litter in there. Second is that you're not going to keep the cat from peeing there. That's its pee spot. You're going to have to clean it more often, that's all. I have 3 cats and 3 litter boxes. They all piss in a certain corner of the box. Damn near break the scoop digging out their piss mud. Cleaning every other day helps.

Protip: when you do major clean outs spray the fucker down with white vinegar and let it sit. It will kill that ammonia smell. Then wash and dry.

Pic related is, in my opinion, the best kind of litter box. Booda dome.

>>1008858
Kill yourself and stop being a sensitive faggot buttmad about how their cat won't feed them constant attention.

You sound like you're almost set.

While I haven't built a bed frame such as this, do pay attention to the orientation of joints as the load bearing points may be more susceptible to shear instead of compressing the main posts.

Another consideration is transport and disassembly, should you renovate or whatever, you might need to move the bed. Needing ten men to lift and place the canopy might just make life a little harder, especially if it's close to the ceiling. Consider locking mechanisms for the joints as well, say large dowels for, say, bridle joints. May or may not work, I'm just throwing ideas.

Consider your anchor points as well for such bondage, you might just need to attach those U clamps for anchor points. One other consideration is how sturdy the frame is when subjected to a hanging load being swung slightly. Over time and use, your joints may be rendered weak from repeated swinging, and I'd pay closer attention to your canopy attachment as your canopy may fall down on you. Even worse is if you get trapped, the canopy gets stuck between the posts and you can't reach the phone.

Should you feel like it, include anchor points on the bases and on set heights on the post as well. Consider the underside of the bed as well, as you may need that for storage. Another consideration is the height from the top of the mattress to the canopy, since you don't want to make it too low or else you'll bump your head and whatnot.

Sounds like a fun project, OP. Like with all things, best to do some research on these, and wait for other responses.

Make a cage under the bed and lock her in when she's bad.

You degenerate fuck.

>>1008436
OP sounds like he's got things sorted. Onto

Step 2: obtain gf

Fortunately for your setup, willingness is optional.

We've had this thread almost weekly now for a while and the conclusion was it's no more expensive to buy a pre-made one.

>>1008411
You can even get free ones from time to time

>>1008407
Just go to amazon or aliexpress and get one, i got mines for less than 2 bucks.

>>1008068
You can start by checking the catalog.

>>1008108
That's amazing thank you, I completely overlooked it!

Last question: what sort of programming language, is appropriate for this sort of work (controlling and interacting with electronics)?

>>1008118

A.) you are baiting us
B.) you are baiting us
C.) Learn the basics, what is voltage, what is current, what component does what.
D.) you are baiting us


Choose one.

Poorfag here, Anon. Because they are still working, because I do not want to throw them away, and they are able to work in winxp with office, browse newspages and play with MAME once in a while.

but why BIOS updates? where is the benefit?
