Sanding, yes.
Osb can finish up quite nice once properly sanded.
Plenty of example of it being used in furniture around. Only got a link to a stool but a quick Google should give some wardrobe examples

This one is actually crazy. Why would anyone oil OSB?

>>940175
plaster it, theres a way i heard of working, by mixing a plaster and kiltz paint, no vinyl based plaster.. if its chalky then add a coat without plaster to seal it.. i understand kiltz will work ok by itself if you dont care about texture.

But to answer your questions as they are, just get a megaphone, and constantly babble annoying things into it while pointing to the place you want to annoy, alternatively record an mp3 and then play it constantly

Buy another of that exact model and make. Keep that one for parts.

There's okay money to be had by selling parts on ebay. Power supplies and main boards for sure

old boxes are made for analog broadcast signals. The entire US switched to digital several years ago. You're either going to need a newer converter box or a newer TV with a digital converter already in it.

That said I made a similar antenna and the reception is great. It works better than the shitty $15 box/antenna combo my roommate got from walmart.

google the manual for your TV to see if it's capable of receiving digital signals, aka ATSC. if so, use the settings to set it for digital, connect a wire to the RF input (or your coat-hanger monstrosity) and you're good to go.

if not, you need a $30 gadget, an ATSC receiver, like the super cheap DTA1080D. (dont get that one, it's just an example.)

OP here. My main question is can i use an old cable box from 2012 that was given by a cable company as the converter?

Your own stuff will eventually change the smell, with you learning to ignore it at the same time.

I would get a wax melter and melt some wax. They are actually great, its like a candle that isnt being tainted with flames.

Dentists are expensive as fuck if you don't have dental insurance. No, not medical, explicitly and specifically dental. Which is not commonly given at jobs unless it's a salaried position. Getting that tooth pulled could literally cost him upwards of $1500 depending on how much bullshit they make him do before hand.

>well you're a new patient so you need a checkup first
>$200+
>We need to do Xrays
>$25-150+
>ibuprofen while you wait a month to actually see the fucking dentist because they know you have no insurance
>$15
>anesthesia
>$400 minimum, literally the sky is the limit, some places will charge upwards of $1000 for the first hour
>actual extraction if it goes smoothly
>$50-200

Even with dental insurance, a lot of them only cover 80% of the cost so that's still a few hundred bucks you have to scrape together or pray you can find a dentist that will do a charity operation on you.

Comparatively, you can buy a functional PC for $100 fucking dollars for less than a day's work unless you make minimum wage.

My top wisdom teeth are literally swiss cheese right now for some fucking reason and I can't do a damn thing about it because of the above. "If it doesn't hurt, there's nothing wrong" is a very common sentiment in the states because dental work is just that fucking expensive.

How do you access internet through your pc? Some kind of dial up/establish connection or does it happen automatically? Check the router manual if you can change WAN from the DSL phone jack port to LAN1.
>>>/g/sqt

>>938560
Yes, it is some kind of dial up, where I have to put a username and a password. the type of connection is "PPPoE".

I really don't know how to change from DLS to LAN1. This is what I'm asking.

>>938562
Check all the options until you find it or read the manual or google, and set it up as pppoe with the credentials you have.

You'll need to put small resistors in series with the device and USB ports to balance them (a couple ohms). If you put two voltage sources in parallel without that one will supply a slightly higher voltage and all the current will be drawn from that one. This will make your PC shut down the higher USB port for drawing too much current, then the second one for drawing too much current. Batteries have their own internal resistance.

Pardon my shitty schematic and my stupid question, but I assume you mean putting a resistor where the green arrow is?

Or one for each port where the blue arrows are?

And I'm quite new with resistors, what would a good value for it?

>>937932
>(a couple ohms)
dont listen to this idiot.

a 'couple' of ohms at 1 amp will drop a couple of volts.
meaning burned resistors and low voltage for your board.

usb is current regulated, should be fine.
external hardrives divide their load over multiple usb drives all the time.

Taking down some old wood paneling in a friend's house. Went to remove the A/C vent cover to make things easier and saw this after taking out the filter.

>at which the circus operating.
at which the circuit is operating.

Autocorrect derped on me.

I would bet you are sourcing too much current. Try slapping a resistor with that diode on the discharge path.

Is this what you had in mind?

>>941082
He probably just ran a wire from the fuse to tell the amp to turn on. What amp is it?

>>941085
Kicker DX A250.1

>>941082
Check all wire connections. Most importantly your ground make sure its large enough gauge wire. Is the setting on your amp allowing the correct amps received from your headunit through the rca cords. is it wired properly to matching ohms value.

>>941336
This is a mind over matter thing.
Stop letting it get to you.
It's not the snoring that's keeping you awake, it's you noticing the snoring, getting aggravated at the snoring which activates your sympathetic systems which keeps you awake. It's literally the same thing as like if someone gets chewed out at work/is expecting something bad to happen the next day, and can't fall asleep because of it.

If you really feel you need to do something, buy a loud ass fan to inject some white noise.

Get some earplugs poorfag.

Acoustic foam is nothing but pretty to look at, especially to bass frequencies and foam, bass traps etc are basically room treatment not sound proofing. You'll be wasting your money.

For soundproofing done right it is usually effective to build airtight rooms within rooms. You need to decouple these from anything which can transmit vibrations and add mass to surfaces to reduce vibrations where you can't have a sufficient quantity of air.

The cheapest solution would be to build a sealed box around your bed and ventilate it using a 90' bend.

Thanks for the input.
