I've built LED goggles myself, and its a lot easier to see through them than you'd think. You need to prevent light from shining in your eyes by painting the backs of the LEDs or use something like the 5050s that already have a backing. After that it's no different than seeing through those venetian blind shades. Your brain just filters out obstructions close to your eyeballs.

He might not. He might look down or have mirrors that look down. They might have directions and shit on the stage for them to follow and all he needs to do most of the time is stand at his keyboard or whatever. Even easier when it's not a live show.

oh look another superhero thread

>>950332
Ive only been lurking a few weeks

Didnt realize these were a thing

>>950337
they have been ever since the chris nolan batman movies

what we've boiled it down to is:

>no you cant be a superhero
>the technology is not there yet and won't be for another 20-30 years
>super powers aren't real
>genetic mutations are not what hollywood says
>if aliens are real, they're not humanoid
>that amount of radiation will kill you
>spider bites are deadly

if you want to help your community and be sort of like batman, join or start a neighborhood watch.

Now you realize 99% of pin and tumbler locks are trash.

Go watch Bosnian bill for a hundred hours and Get a training lock that you can repin with security pins and whatever

Get in on some lock pick groups and trade challenge locks.

Learn low voltage electronics.
Become security expert.
Meet Bosnian Bill at a conference. Gush.

>>949531
Yeah, >>949558 has some of the right idea.
Here's one of the more useful video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI7Lx-73lU0

get some picks
find more locks
buy a padlock from the dollar store or something

Paperclips are pretty weak and bendy. Regular flat picks will hold up

Power it through a transistor thats driven by a photodiode.

>>947559
hmm.. interesting. so are you saying it would be able to control my tanks light intensity based off the the light outside of my window, basically mimicking the natural light cycle of my area?

>>947575
Yes

wood combusts at around 500-700 deg F and presumably more if wet.

>>951425
>Basically, is there such thing as rubber that won't burn?

You mean like high temperature silicone?

>ceramic
>heat insulator
lol.

>>951430
There's a reason why they make coffee mugs out of ceramic instead of aluminum, doofus.

Even put my name on the Xbox emblem, much wow

>>950115

since you came here for this advice instead of /vg/ or /g/ I am going to suggest you lube it up and push it into your anal cavity

>>950162
That would not get me off, but if I wanted to fuck this Xbox I would tape the controller to my penis and perform a vibration test, I posted here because I thought people could ask me build questions if they wanted to know how to mod a original Xbox or something along those lines, I am sorry if I offended you or something but you seem a little butt hurt mad

Right of the bat I see the "Art Commision" box has the text tilted too much to the right side.

The "my comics" is decent but I would like a function that would allow me to go all the way back to the start

The "art commision" section is ok, but there are empty boxes in between some of the choices.

When I go under "my art" it shows a slide show, from my perspective, I would be more interested in a bigger gallery of pictures so I don't have to scroll through through every picture to find something I like.

When I got to the forums it says "No sign up require!" a little typo that annoys me.

The Faq is nice, I like the slides.

6/10

>>951653
There's a tense error in the first sentence of the OP, a comma error in the second, and an apostrophe error in the third. Why would you not expect one on the site?

1/10, probably an eastern European hack OP fishing for members to a crap site.

>..character from mlp. I stopped watching so much. Know i only watch it.

should be 'Now' i only watch it

the only page i looked at

>I have absolutely zero /diy/ experience but I'm just a broke 22 year old.

Look up the cost of wood before you go any farther, especially if you are going to double up on stuff.

Also you need to think about whether he is using a box spring or just a mattress

>>951431

He has a box spring and a bed. Both are literally older than me. He has one of those $50 metal frames you can buy at the Dollar Store or Big Lots that looks like shit.

I have a budget of $200. I doubt I could buy a frame for that cheap that supports fatties.

If you're serious about building the frame with 2x4's then put them on edge AKA skinny side facing up for added strength. or if you wanna stick to the skinny slats (like in your pic) then make sure you beef up the middle support. probably should be ok just by doing that.

Voltage and/or current, yes.

>>951268
Pardon my ignorance, but won't changing the current distort the amplitude of the radio wave?

>>951263
how about how does range work

1. Digital potentiometers

2. Yes, a 'real' 5V 10A supply is pretty pricey. An old PSU would be most economical.

>>950983
1a. There are things called digital potentiometers.
1b. If you just need few bits worth of control, you could use some mosfets to pull one (or more) of several RSET resistors to ground.
2. Yeah, a computer PSU would be an easy solution. Dunno what's wrong with your search terms, but you could check some big distributor's like Farnell's catalogue to get an idea what is available - assuming you aren't happy with PC psu. And then optionally buy shit from elsewhere.

>>950989
>>950990
Thanks guys. I've looked at a few digital potentiometers, but they all seem to either have increment/decrement control, or are controlled by serial protocols that I don't really want to code into my instruments by hand. If I want to be able to call $SomeResistance from parallel outputs (4-6 bits would be fine), what's my best option? I could probably use an arduino to translate to I2C, but are there better options?

kek , i would like to hear it as well.

i heard a story this weekend that some madman left home only to be homeless for a tad , so he lived under his brothers bed . At night he would steal foodstuff and the like since his pa was a drunkard. He would sneek in through the window, and when everyone went to work n school he would sleep under the bed

Harry Potter.

i went to cancun years ago, stayed in one of the older shitty little villas, probably nice back in the 50's, but anyway, one of the maintenance workers lived under the stairs leading up to one of the rooms. surreal looking in there and seeing all his stuff. he had pet iguanas everywhere.

>>926530
also, i'm considering buying like 15-63 more and having a go at turning them into a supercomputer.

not sure of my budget tho.

bomp.

>>926530
/diy/ is slow no need to bump.

The first inclination that people generally have is to turn it into a media server. Plug in a usb hard drive, and either connect to wireless or Ethernet. This is never a good idea because the pi only has a single channel usb and the Ethernet port is going through it so every communication with need to go through the same usb channel 2 in order to get there even on a fast Ethernet connection in practice i had trouble even streaming 480p video from one.

Best use is to use it like you would an arduino with network functionality and more processing power. Look at the pin-out see if you have some hardware you want to interact with and see where it takes you.

I have been enjoying mine as an octopi 3d print server if you have a 3d printer might be worth it to use it there.

tap+die sets are 30 bucks at harbor freight. you should be able to tap new, larger threads then use new screws.

>>951408
This is the pro way to do it without replacement.

Other wise nigger-rig it with JB weld

>>951441
jb weld holds fine but you normally yank on faucet parts so you must also mechanically secure it w/ bolts

>>951099
ebay one for less than ten dollar

>>951101
I want to learn how to do it. That's the point.

arduino + imitation crab

What's the point of the tunnel? As long as there's a connection between the pond and ocean tides are going to keep the salt levels in the pond at the same level as the ocean.

>>950965
Are you sure? One would need a two way flow in one river that way.

>>950962
There's nothing wrong with it at a fundamental level, but in practice it may be difficult to achieve adequate circulation with density/hydrostatic pressure alone. If the flat in question was located right on the coast then sure, but over scores of km to get to an arid inland location in need of hydration, a few cm isn't going to cut it. Free-flowing aqueducts generally have gradients of 1 in 5000 or steeper.

Also, basins that are below sea level (where such a proposal would obviously be located) are always separated from the ocean by elevated terrain (otherwise they would already be flooded), so digging an open channel over ground would require some serious digging. Modern aqueducts generally use pumping/turbine stations to lift/lower the water over the terrain instead, and in mountainous areas employ pressurized pipelines instead of open channels. In practice, your proposal would need to employ a similar arrangement to be viable.
