>so I want a good all-purpose poison that is simply incompatible with all forms of animal life
Not exactly the greatest idea, but various gases are used for that and at least in some countries some of them are sold to normal people. Phosphine is one of the more popular options. A more diy option would be carbon dioxide, but I don't know how practical it actually is, since it's just an asphyxiant.
The thing is that you need to bag everything so that the gas stays there and you can't live in the house while you're gassing it.

I'd suggest getting rid of the rats with normal rat poison (or traps) if they're an actual problem and let the others be. Bugs will be back pretty much immediately in any case.
Then there's what >>995616 suggested. Not that it keeps bugs out, but at least they're not your problem anymore.

Avoid poison
Acquire cat
Wipe hands on pants

a ventilated fireplace/stove would be my first pick. You can make one out of a paint can and a coffee tin.

Go to a car boot sale and pick up some old woodworking tools

Then start building shit at the location. Chair or two, Bed frame. Plug up holes. Put down a wood floor for starters

build a wood stove for heating and cooking, collect cans to tunnel the smoke out

find some cheap long candles and mount them around the place.

I was thinking buying a stick from Lowes as the disposable option, not sure if it would fit in a trash bin however

Well first youre going to want to reevaluate being a Trump supporter... in the event that you decide to continue in your misguided ways, google search diy suicide... God Speed

Collapsible tent pole.

Selfie stick, put a go-pro on the top and get some hip footage.

Or do the classic and buy a festival flag pole for less than €10.

Just... No, please kill yourself

>>998223
Technically yes, but, there's just no way.

Yah here's some tape
or try a hot glue gun

Self bump for help

Here's something you can do yourself: pay your bills.

There's probably a phone number on the bill you didn't pay. Try calling it and they will come and turn on your electricity after you pay your bill.

There's no supply to your meter. Time to pay your bill.

>>997661
Lemme just google all that for you real quick ...

I can pay $80 for anyone willing to help

google potential divider for an ldr/shunt resistor circuit.

google passive bandpass filter
Capacitors pass AC and block DC, so if you have a capacitor to 0v it will short out AC effectively blocking it. a capacitor between input/output will block DC from reaching the output but pass AC to the output.
You should do a little research on signals if you want to learn more, look into fourier etc, all signals are made up of combinations other signals etc.

this is my favorite calculator:
(google okawa filter)(fuck you 4chan)
a bandpass is just a high pass plus a low pass so you can calculate the transfer functions separately.

the wavelength (color) of the LED is apparently very important so if you don't get a decent signal bare this in mind. there are many colors of red.

Why? Your second sentence is exactly why you want to keep them. Not get rid of them.

They dont actually eat mosquitos. Theyre just look like giant mosquitos, thats how they got the name.

Theyre obnoxious

>>997583
Eh, I thought as much, since I never heard them doing it. I don't find them annoying, and they're kinda cool. Some species' larvae is known as bloodworms which are excellent fish food.

2 liter soda bottle drip system?

I am going to guess this involves twisting tubing in such a way that water only comes out slowly?

I've used battery operated programmable hose valves (Battery Sprinkler Timer) before and the batteries for what I had lasted quite a while and would definitely last a week, seems mine lasted over a month if I'm remembering correctly.
If you can prop up the water reservoir you could rig up one of these to release water. You'd need a garden hose connection off of the reservoir to the valve then a manifold (PVC pipe and hose bibs) off of the valve that distributed water using enough smaller hoses to reach everything.
It would take some time to make and even-out the distribution with flow restrictors or different sized tubing.

>what kind of resources would be needed to make a ship the size of pic related.
If you have to ask, you don't have them. Unless you have an entire forest of old-growth hardwood just lying around, you won't even get started. What's your budget and timeframe?

I think you may be misunderstanding the size of a real galleon.

They are BIG.

We are talking as large and some times far larger than a small apartment building.

i saw this wire sticking out in the front yard when i first moved in. I had landscapers doing some excavating and they cut it by accident. Now I have no internet or TV.

Does need to be new either, just the right look, working/repairable and cheap.

I used the DPDT version of this on an old shaper I restored. Off/Forward/Reverse.

making a portable Air-conditioner. and I'm currently extending a remote which (with that white knob)

>>994389
>what is that white knob(?)
wire coupler
>and why is it needed
couples wires together. Have two wires, want them to become one wire? Wire coupler.

>>994402
Also called a wire nut.

get ready to burn / explode some large package transistors
> magic smoke? alligator clips? what are heatsinks?
its pretty advanced stuff cause of high power
look up someone else who has done and use their schematic. build it like they do and listen to their considerations

>>994095
>but I don't know enough to follow schematics and stuff.

Please stop. That's like saying you can't follow instructions by Ikea. Also "i don't know enough about x" is a shitty mentality to have if you want to learn a trade. If you don't know something, you look it up. You look up schematics, other people's experiences, order parts, put everything together on a breadboard, test and then solder onto a either a custom PCB or a prototyping board.

>>994095
>Will I need anything extra?
The main component of every plasma speaker is a flyback transformer, they can be obtained from old CRT TVs and monitors. Also a power supply of 12 volts or higher and 3 amps or higher.
Anyone know any super easy noob friendly guides?
Not that I recall, but the easiest circuit you'll find with decent performance is the 555 based one, I'll post the schematic when I get home.

I highly recommend you try to play with discrete components and learn to interpret schematics before trying this, it is a very dangerous project.
