underside for fun??? Not pictured: the screws I put in the back through the legs because I wasn't done yet when I was taking this pic.

pretty slick anon.
i would attach the powerboards on the inside of the leg however, for cleanliness.

>MDF top

Nooooo thank you. Set a glass of ice water down even once without a coaster and the top is ruined. That water ring will be highly visible and never come out. I truly appreciate you /diy/ing something and it looks s lot nice than most lumber coffee tables. That said, I probably would have just got a coffee table for free/spent the $30 for a coffee table off Craigslist. Would look more like adult furniture. The effort you put into it is definitely 5/7 (minus the power strip, need to clean that up) but it's very "bachelor pad-ish"

>>939674
Not exactly sure but that seems like a power supply of some sorts. Where did you find that circuit?

>what kind of potato is this?
- door-coms, alarm, who knows. Try a steady-cam, pull the fuse, see what stops working, or RTFM/instruction sheet bottom left of the mount box.

>2 wires in, 2 wires out
At first glance it looks like a low voltage power supply for accent lighting or comm/security equipment. The board reminds me of the power supply I've installed in large fiber converters.

Leather laminate handle or bust

Dude its a piece of hard material used to hit things. How much money do you really need to spend on one and what the fuck is there to discuss?

Shame that /diy/ is filling with this type of shallow shitposting.

Also I'm not fucking anyone's gf or wife, I don't even talk to my neighbors. They target all cars

My question is what can I do to prevent my car from being keyed or broken into. Preferably a cheap method because I'm not going to be living here much longer

Pics related. My new car 2013 Audi

Also this is where I work. Not my apt. There are cameras here and no one has ever bothered my car at work

Even with consideration of your green text...
This post is a trolling post and expect it to be deleted.

They lie to themselves most of all. Don't take it personally

I hate to be That Guy but Google will probably give you more comprehensive answers than most people on here.

I have a couple things to note however.
Considered how much beer you drink in one sitting before bottling.
It is fucked up how much time you save when you use 1litre bottles over the average 340- whatever bottles.

Re sealable "buckle" caps are also save you the money of buying a capper.

Bitter flavor comes from boiling the hops, if you want a less bitter beer just cut the hops weight by half or better yet use a IBU calculator.

Research hop schedules, the longer you boil hops the more alpha acids are isomerized which give beer its bitterness but also gets rid of volatile compounds (flavors and aroma). A 60 min boil is called the bittering addition, 30 min are flavor addition and 0 min are aroma addition. Aroma and flavor additions contribute less IBUs to the finished beer but gives it more "palate" and "nose". A lot of brewers don't do an aroma addition so it's entirely up to you.

>>938149
Also if it's an IPA recipe, it will most likely have a higher OG so you could look up a pale ale recipe and adjust your grist and hop schedule.

If you have money, doable. You would need multiple arduino boards and lots of little things like resisters and capacitors. Realistically? Buy some cameras for the house.

Get a dog, a fence and a shotgun. And grow a pair.

Sounds pervy to me.

I've seen shit like that at target and walmart.

But like the other guy said ikea is probably your best bet.

>>937712
eventually you can get that shit to run on garbage, yo

Yes, you need plutonium, but don't worry. You don't need the refined, super dangerous kind. You can actually get away with the regular kind that you can hold in your hand.

I made time travel face bags. They allow me to travel forward through time at the speed of regular time.

help

>>939927
depends.
is it a sliding window? does it open? is that middle post structural? it probably is. if its structural then you need to cut out that whole window frame and install a lintel before replacing it with a non-standard size of glass.

you'd be better off just getting a window man to hook you up with a new window. better than not having a clue as to what you are doing and wasting money trying to randomly remove pieces from your house only to have the glass crack under stress.

>>939946
The window it's self will not be supporting any weight.
A pic of the actual window would help OP

PIR modules usually work like switches. They usually have a separate power line and an NO/NC circuit (used mainly for security) or a mains relay. Which one do you have?

>>940349
I have an HC-SR501, it has 3 pins, +,- and something else.
The circuit will be powered by batteries so I don't want a mains relay.

I would try just slapping it together to see if it works but I don't want to accidentally fry the sensor.

so basically a motion sensor? you can get one of those cheap outdoor light fixtures for your yard that turn on when someone walks by... and just rip out the sensor...

but the problem with room sensors is when the motion stops the lights will go out... so if you are sitting watching tv or something the lights will keep going off
or if you are doing your homework or anything that you arent moving around

Complete!

Newborns smiling is an involuntary reaction to stimulus. It was probably more irritating that pleasuring.

Yes, I know I'm posting irrelevant information to an unrelated image. Fuck you.

Now the flame sensor doesn’t look dirty to me, the ceramic part has a bit of black crud on it but the bent rod part looks fine (at least as far as I can tell?) and one of the on-line sites mentioned that flame sensors “don’t break”, so I dunno?

I guess my question is; does /diy/ agree with the above and also, how likely is it for a repair tech to try and scam me, claiming the entire burner assembly or whatnot is bad and all kinda stuff needs to be replaced for a bazillion dollars, or that the part “is no longer made”, etc. and if he tries this, how would I counter it?

I’ll add that I got the entire AC system replaced this past summer (old system was 18 years old and leaking refrigerant) and the blower motor was replaced 5-6 years prior.

Lennox Model# G12Q3E-82-6 with a manufacturing date of 4/84

- get a multimeter ($1.99 HarborFreight will do), and check FS operation yourself. Google/YouTube how to attach meter and check reading, takes 2 minutes. They (FS) also cost fuck all, replacing it as a precautionary / possible solution may be the end of your woes.

You cant cope with that, you deserve to get ripped ;) Ask around for a Tech recommend, they aint all a-holes, and a good heating guy will save you a lot of hassle otherwise. It also sounds like you are not servicing that shit either? Once a year service + clean, less stress + emergencies, long-term.

>I got the entire AC system replaced this past
summer..
- good man. no fucking idea whatsoever why thats relevant to your 30+ year old burner being intermittently fucked, tho - a new burner may actually prove more efficient, and save you some cash. And I'm not shilling for anyone either.

Inexpensive flame sensor replacement would be a reasonable way to eliminate that part as a fault cause.

ummm.....

the pic and the video appear to show two different vehicles... ?

the pic looks like a kids' toy built on lawn tractor parts
the video looks like a Jeep CJ5, or maybe a real milsurp Jeep,,,
