Is the pay good? If not then go to college for something else.

>>1211854

Pay seems very decent yeah, but I'm just wondering if I can realistically walk into a job with only college qualifications and experience only labouring, but no apprenticeship.

>>1211852
>walk into a job with only college qualifications

College must mean trade school where you live.

In america, college usually means higher education, leading to a degree like Gender Studies or Aerospace Engineering. We also have community colleges where you can learn trades like Installing Windows.

>Can anyone help me with this?
Yeah, don't ruin a WWII artifact.

Go to court, don't show up and act like an asshole and tell them you realize you are remorseful for putting other's lives at risk because you're a degenerate and you're going to seek treatment. Plead with the judge to let you have a limited license for work at least. And grow up

Every post you make is a riot.

Peltier Thermoelectric Module.

Apply DC power and one side gets hot the other gets cold. You'll need a heat sink for both sides. Put the cool side in the water pump flow and perhaps a fan on the hot side. Add a thermostat to it and you are golden.

I'll need to do the same for this setup as well. Basically I need to put them in a big junction box to make it code, or at least appear to code.

This one will be a closet light. Obviously I'll replace the cut cord with the correct incoming wire, but I need the box, fittings and terminal block first.

throw that shit in the trash
get a plc, network enabled
put in din enclosure
write glue application and host on your home server.

You need the stupid wemo link thingy. With that you can create scenes and other stuff.

Pull out the back seat, maybe cut a section to reach the truck. At the very least you should have leg room for sleeping now. May a moto, or car battery in the back

>>1214729
not an optimal choice anon. Truck with camper shell or something like those old station wagons would be better.
Look into solar for charging the battery. Research camping setups and dual battery, battery isolator, inverters and stuff.
You are going to need ventilation or the inside of your car is going to become a swamp. So screens for the windows.
Your biggest problem will be the cops.
If you are that broke talk to the uni about tuition assistance and jobs like RA where you can offset real housing.
That or join the armed services. Three hots and a cot.

mothballs?

>>1213582
yeah, that might be a contributor sometimes....my grandparents used to use mothballs a lot

I didn't see any sign of them in the most recent house

>>1213579
It depends on what they own, how long they've owned it, and how long they lived in the same house.

'Old person smell' comes from dust (which includes dead skin cells) and the bacteria/fungi that eat said dust, and the bacteria that eat the dead bacteria, and so on built up over decades.

Old people from the Boomer generation in particular tend to accumulate tons of stuff that that just leave in storage for years. All that stuff is basically a giant collection screen for dust and it's fragrant assortment of bacteria and fungi.

It shouldn't be potent enough to permeate into a sealed package of food, although bread is known for picking up odors. Maybe your picking up hints of it from the outside of the bag?

How did you verify that it is actual gold?

>>1213099
are you sure it's not fools gold? and of course you shouldn't tell anybody
also post pics of gold

Post pic of gold on a a4 sheet, put a nickel or something for size-reference, or a bic-pen. Scrub image file so it can not be traced that way

> i was wondering how do i go on about doing this

You dont. There is a reason you wont find any info on it. Horizontal motors are cheap

>>1212901
Its possible and altho its probably a hassle to put together its a fun little diy, dont have to be so negative, if i wanted negativity i would have gone on /pol/

>>1212906
>dont have to be so negative
Im sorry I didnt tell you what you wanted to hear

Let me put it to you another way.
Stop being a poorfaggot and buy the proper motor for your project.
Its not a "fun little diy" its a "im trying to be a cheap fuck" move.

The motor HAS to stay upright or you will destroy it. A right angle gearing will be large heavy, have parasitic power loss, and literally more expensive than just buying a motor.

Do you think you are the first person to have this idea?
No?
Then why did everyone else scrap the idea?

1) Take the magnetron out of the microwave, should look like pic related
2) Disassemble magnetron
3) Find pink ceramic substance
4) Crush into fine powder
5) Snort

It will give you superpowers

Theres 4 or 5 wires coming out of the back of your ignition barrel. One is positive (power), one will turn over your starter motor and the other are your accessories (which need power to keep the car running). If you dont know which is which, strip back all the wires and touch them together one at a time until you find the one that can both turn over the engine and light up the dash. This is your power. To start car connect all wires that don't turn over your engine and twist them together (if they come off the engine will shut down) and then touch the starter motor wire to them until your car starts

>How does one reverse engineer shit? I have some binary blobs that I need to disassemble, study and reimplement

You need a working knowledge of what the blob interacts with. After that, a disassembler and if possible, an emulator.

A legal note, if you're doing this for Real Work, you're not supposed to figure out the shit and reimplement it yourself. Best practice is to "cleanroom" reverse engineer, with one team doing the reversing, writing a spec, and another team doing the implementation from the spec. Copyrights or something.

If you're just doing it for the lulz though, yeah, have fun.

is this 1900?

If theres any sparkies in this thread can you reccomend a good beater meter to keep in my truck toolbox, doesnt need to be fancy I only check shit on my car from time to time.

the learning curve is steep, the maintenance curve is high, and it's a good thing you have carpentry experience because if you don't plain kill yourself trying to sail it home the DEA will tear it the fuck apart looking for your cocaine

>>1202979
just build your own.

You know just about everything you need to know except fiberglass repair and that isn't that hard.

Yes, you're about to piss away all your savings.

You won't be able to sell it for very much even fixed up.

>feel free to add additional parts to the mix if need be.

What sort of budget are we working with? I'd add a shot of black if you can afford it.

>>1215072
$30 or so.

>>1215074
>$30 or so.

Does that include tools? If so I'd buy a Leatherman since it can do just about everything. We might need to saw the pipe, for example. Or someone might bring a block of cheese for snack time and we could grate some over our tacos if we buy the deluxe Leatherman edition.
