Dunno, I use Virtualbox (even though Oracle is evil).

>>901917
Tab should let you switch between the two. Or arrow keys.

>>901917
It'll be something wrong with Ubuntu, not something wrong with VMWare.

If it were Windows, you could just tab around the dialogue and press the button even though it's offscreen. Linux has historically been terrible for keyboard accessibility, and I doubt it's improved much, but you could give it a go. Alternatively, why not use the console-mode installer? Even Ubuntu can't fuck that up.

Why are you doing the setup by hand and not using VMWare's Express Install, anyway? Alls you do is answer a few questions in VMWare's wizard on the host, and the guest boots up, installs its own OS with no interaction required, and when it's done you can start using it immediately.

The mattress itself I'll probably have made through ultrabed.com but I'm wondering about the frame itself that the mattress part sits on.

Check to find any local manufacturers.

Where i live theres a mattress company that makes all the mattresses they sell to the public. Extremely high quality, and pretty reasonable prices too compared to the name brands being sold by third parties.

They made a custum bed for me to fit this oooollld mahagony bed frame i got at auction that was between a full and queen size. The owner came out to my place to double check my measurements. Delivered it three days later personally to check the fit himself. All for the same price as an equivalent featured serta

>>901874
You would have to get a pneumatic system to move the top frame up and down, but its dangerous and really expensive.

make a decently tall frame using thick studs on the end so you have enough room underneath.
Or you can make a regular height bed, frame it out, then install roll out cabinets below.

Here is the video

hopefully my voice isn't too annoying.

Any ideas on what the issue might be and how to fix it?
Or any additional information I might be able to provide to help figure it out?

You need fucking shooting even more so than the French.

Notes:

I was thinking of getting some rope, a carabiner, and making myself a rope harness. I used to climb, so I know how to use them, it's just that rope is $120, and I have no idea where to buy rope/carabiners in the US locally.

counter argument :

You will be remembered as a real G if you die while doing it freehand.

>>901769

Allow me to retort: If I fall, I am probably going to fall on my feet and break both of them in the process, but not die. The tree is like tree stories high - not fatal fall height.

So far Home Depot and Dicks don't carry rope. Wtf fgts.

The fuck is what on your smoke detector battery? It has a smoke detector on it if that's what you're asking.

No seriously, just pop the battery off the connector. It's not rocket science here, just a 9v battery terminal.

>>901711
See, I tried that, but the connector wouldn't let it go even using a screwdriver as leverage.

>>901713
Ask your little sister to help if you're not strong enough.

Sten gun

>>901676
Whats that supposed to mean? I dont think i could make a sten gun. Though that shit would be cool though

>>901685
Anyone can make a sten gun. It was designed that way.
There is a thread on >>>/k/ with the build plans

Have fun and don't get v&

How would you like the system communicate? Wifi, cell, radio, land line, etc?

>>901624
I have Wi-Fi at home but am not always on Wi-Fi at work. But I have a 4G LTE phone. Can that work? What about radio? How far in miles can they work? I work about 15 miles from my house

>>901625
I meant for the security system itself. It needs a way to dial out to you. If where ever it is going to be placed is within range of wifi then that would be the best and cheapest option. Next best would be using a land line or a cell network for connectivity but they both have monthly costs. You would only roll a custom radio solution if you're so far out in the sticks that there is no land line or cellular options.

Take the 19 volt lead up the ass
Snort the LEDs one by one in your lungs
Congrats, you're a Christmas tree!

>hurr durr how do I do X...

Start from there, then ask a specific question.

>>901461
I did dipshit, i asked if it was enough to put a resistor on one of the wires, and how big it would have to be in that case. Now, can you answer my question, or are you an idiot from every angle?

>take 19 Volt lead up the ass
>eat LEDs
>plug in power cord

>Profit

Alternatively, try to put at least some effort in it, Nigger

lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+wire+many+LEDs
Get educated, return with a more specific question

Pool maintenance fag here. You need at least 2 inch pipe to get sufficient water flow.

A buddy of mine owns/runs a tree trimming operation. He heats everything with wood. Has a wood boiler for how water. One for heating the house including radiant floors. Runs a smaller third one for heating a pool.

The units aren't cheap but you can't legally /diy/ your own without getting it tested which would costs tens to hundreds of thousands. Plus he has unlimited wood.

You could possibly /diy/ your own pool heater because it's probably not subject to the same requirements as a water heater or boiler.

>>901436
There is such a thing as a wood-fired hot tub. Basically, it's a firepit inside of some tubing that water from a pool flows through. Should be a good starting point.

>>901412
It was a 12V battery btw.

Maybe you connected it backwards. Or maybe you were just unlucky this time.
Assuming the PSU uses normal components: no particular reason why it couldn't be fixed.

>>901308
Just use earplugs.

>>901308
ear plugs
also it is the door gaps you should worry about

>>901312
I will be dealing with those.
What is a good and cheap material to fill the gaps with?

>>901291

Drying meat?

Just a air filter per the best design on her

No, removing the CMOS battery won't change the BIOS code... Sounds like you need to reflash the BIOS directly. You're probably not interested in investing the time to do that, so learn your lesson and buy a new one.

>>901240
yes disconnecting the cmos battery will reset the password and clear the cmos. which is like the ram that the bios runs in. it will also force the computer to refresh the cmos.

source: used to work in a computer store where the same customers would repeatedly return because their password "simply didnt work but they were typing it in properly." some laptops require long disassembly in order to access it.

the password is saved in the cmos, not the bios. even the fancy drive locker bios shits can be simply reset and tada! the hard drive is no longer "encrypted"

>>901245
I also recommend adding an easily accessible switch or just a wire or pin of some sort that allows easy bios resets by just opening the hard drive bay or wherever.
