Someone was making the point that the body of an electrical guitar, unlike an acoustic guitar, doesn't matter as long as it can support the components. He wasn't giving detailed instructions on how to build a guitar.

In other words, there's a dumbfuck in this thread, for damn sure, but it's not that guy. Guess who it is.

>making the point that the body of an electrical guitar, unlike an acoustic guitar, doesn't matter as long as it can support the components.

That "point" was not made at all, no mention whatsoever of acoustic vs electric guitars or support of components, you just pulled all of that out of your ass.
And again, no mention of the one component mounted to a guitar body where that "support" is critical to the whole thing working.

>In other words, there's a dumbfuck in this thread, for damn sure, but it's not that guy. Guess who it is.

You, for being the seething retard defending a moronic post that saw fit to mention needing a "plug" but never mentioned THE single most important and complicated part of building a functional guitar, whether it's electric or acoustic.

You still don't even know what part I'm talking about, do you? LMAO

So why are internet contracts necessary? You can tune into radio for free so how come there's no antenna device that pulls free internet from the air in a similar manner?

Find nearest café or other business offering free wifi
Buy a wifi router, a couple of extreme long-range wifi access points, and a hi-vis vest. Put on hi-vis, set up router and one wifi antenna on roof of business offering free wifi, claim to be from government agency just setting up something to measure air pollution if anybody asks. Make router connect to wifi using its own antenna, connect with wire to long-range AP, go home and set up other long-range AP, you now have contract-free internet.
Depending on how off-grid you are, you might need a few more relays inbetween. I think Linus Tech Tips showed off 10km wifi like 5 years ago.

You can run grazing animals, but do it with paddocks and move them everyday. Moving is easy when they know there's fresh stuff in the next paddock over. Issue is cost of fencing, I would think.

There's tons more info online. That carboncowboys youtube channel is covering it pretty well.

Moving them daily eliminates so many issues. Worming. Vet bills. Health etc.

so figure out where the 3 rooms split off from the rest, that's the junction box where the problem is. then fuck with white side to see if the wire ends are apart. the white side shouldn't hurt anything if it gets fucked up - the black is hot and you don't want to touch metal or the white side when fucking with black.

if things are on in the three rooms that are dead (e.g. the lights or a fan switched on) then fucking with the wires might cause them to spark. ideally turn everything off, but don't be surprised if there is some draw and it sparks when you're fucking with the blacks. ideally there will either be a clear visual problem with the white or black side or fucking with the white side will fix it.

>Do you even melt, bro?

I did my first casting today, I'm totally a foundryman now. My first two melts earlier in the week I made some ingots, just melting soda cans. >>2783890
Yesterday I made my first flask from a spare fencepost, and some greensand from sifted playsand and a mix of sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. Yard marking calcium carbonate as parting powder, worked great. Designed a little ashtray in Fusion360 and turned it into a pattern. I did a pretty bad job but I was impatient and really wanted everything ready to do this casting today. Rammed up fine, might've been a little dry, but just barely. Worked out okay though, very happy with the result after a brief cleanup.

Do you scrap? Stack? Do you sell signs on Etsy? Do you sand cast? Investment casting? Do you like huffing zinc fumes and snorting silica powder? Show me your furnace, show me your castings.

Sand and jpeg compression don't get along.

My wife and I recently lost our little girl. It was a stillbirth but we had some really compassionate nurses that made a hand and foot mold for us before we had to say goodbye. I’m worried that the (I’m assuming) plaster they used is really delicate/fragile. The detail on them is great but I’m eager to find a way to scan or duplicate them to ensure they survive long term. Could anyone give me some advice?

Everyone suggested scanning, but you can try photogrammetry, it's much easier and cheaper to do since you can use your phone or a camera, there's apps for this like Polycam or RealityCam (I had good results with it) or you can do it the old way and take a bunch of photos and use a software like Realitycapture, Zephyr or Meshroom(couldn't make this one work), you will have a virtual representation that you can keep, print or mill

burn the molds and move on

>>2795670
My advice: let it crumble or just throw it out. You’re really better off moving on. My dad remarried and tried to have more kids. His wife had a couple of still births before being able to have two children to raise. The kids were always creeped out because she kept keepsakes and pictures from the still birth at the hospital. If you don’t move past it then it will fuck your wife up for life.

I want to build my own DIY computer from scratch, but I don't really know where to start. The main purpose of it is to learn more about computers and how it all works down there. I'm confident with logic gates, boolean algebra, not so with prototyping. I watched Ben Eater's videos about his project, as well as some other videos to similar topic. What books/other materials will be helpful? What is the starting point for such project should be? Is it better to pick up something like 65c02 and build around it or made everything by myself?

Get a FPGA.
Preferably something that works with the open stack, such as iCE40 UP5K or LP8K.
>>
I'm building a 16-bit TTL CPU right now. In my opinion, decide right now what you want it to do and focus on breaking things up into modules.

Start with Logisim and FPGA (Verilog) designs. Write test procedures for individual modules and the complete system.

Begin implementing modules on breadboards and designing actual circuits in KiCad. At this point, start looking up prices of components for each module. If you get discouraged on the price, stick with only designing in FPGA.

Manufacture PCBs or use protoboards. Ditch breadboards as fast as you can to get rid of annoying capacitance and connection problems. Re-test modules using test procedures created during first design phase.

Creating separate "test harness" circuits could also prove useful if you screw up and fry an IC at some point.

Take everything one step at a time and don't rush anything. This will take a while, but I think its worth the torture

Moving into a new apartment and the landlord seems reasonable. I want to plant some veggie gardens etc (raised beds) and keep some chickens. I already know I'll have to talk to him about the chickens first, but how much is normal to ask for permission for vs just doing it without permission? Like, can I put a fence up without permission? Would that cause a ruckus?

Veggie gardens and chickens where, does the place have a yard? You should definitely ask the landlord, you're presumably doing this in shared space of all the people living there. Chicken in particular also noise pollute and smell.

I don't know why I fuck up ceiling like this.
I manage to get a decent even finish on the walls, but this is what I get with ceilings.

I thought this was good enough yesterday because I only noticed the few spots on the right, but this morning I noticed the edge of the roll marks on the left are kinda visible.

You can only notice it because of the incidence of the light coming in at 90 degrees from the window.
For that, you need a level-5 drywall finish,for openers.
Second, for a ceiling you want the flattest paint you can buy. Eggshell? No way… fuck that. Dead fucking flat. Only thing flatter is popcorn ceilings which disgust me.
You locally sand off any drips or ridges left by the roller. Use a flashlight held up at right angles on the ceiling to see any shadows.
Then go down to the dollar store and get a mini foam roller with rounded corners and with minimal paint, paint over the parts you sanded and try and blend it in.
This is why we use flat, non-glossy paint on the ceiling. Nobody is going to be touching it.
The shot of black people are old copypasta retards.

>You can only notice it because of the incidence of the light coming in at 90 degrees from the window.

Yeah I realized, it's only noticeable in the morning.
But I know it's there so I notice anyway.
I should have skim coated the walls as well but I'm cheaping out because I'm on a budget. Doing the best I can with what I have.
Sanding is doable, I might do that. Thanks.

I guess it looks ok enough so I'll move on to the walls for the moment and if it bugs me I'll fix it.
