I don't know how to tell you this, anon, but if you want an "e cig" you are in fact fucking gay. Extraordinarily gay. Like r/mtf is less gay than you.

>>2799135
Yup. Thats why I went with Franks. They make the least "fancy lad" boots out of any of the PNW boot makers.

So as far as I know Whites was the original Spokane boot maker. Nicks was spun off in the 60's from the foreman of Whites. Then, years later, Franks was created by the foreman of Nicks. White's quality has gone down a bit since they're now owned by a huge Japanese shoe conglomerate.

I'm a field biologist.
I spend about 75-80 hours a month bushwhacking through deadfall, through swamps, kicking branches out of the way, hiking over boulders.
Going on a year with a pair of Danners and they look as good as new. They're more durable than you would think. Maybe not the best boot if you're in knee-deep mud all day I guess but otherwise surprisingly good.
Super comfortable too.

If I pull a vacuum cleaner out of the box and see that plug that shit's going straight back to the store

If it was mine i would cut off the bottom 2" or whatever is rotten and make an angle iron base for it to set into and then either bolt it in place or spot weld it. And i would also upgrade those god awful casters that are currently on it...

>>2799436
>If it was mine i would cut off the bottom 2" or whatever is rotten
Shit this is a great idea, thanks

You can just screw 2 blocks of wood along the sides with some casters on them.

>>2799282
Get some plywood, cut out a rectangle to size of the bottom, take eve, everything off the rotted out bottom, screw it all onto the wooden bottom.

Sheet aluminium from your local hardware store. Use tin snips to cut to shape. Slide it in on top of that rusted base, then drill some holes through both in the spots where the old material still has some meat. Use pop rivets to fix the new sheet to the old shell.
Never going to be perfect but it's a cheap fix that'll add a bit more strength back to it.

>>2795174
You could make E85 like Brazilians do, but you need to get proportions right for manufacturing and will have to retune the engine itself (compression ratio mainly), and also expect for car to run shorter distances because unless you're racer/tuner, with E85 you'll only squeeze out around 80% of engine's capability compared to normal gasoline and your vehicle will consume 20% more fuel. On top of that, unless you carburetor engine, you'll also have to mix it with oil so the plastic parts don't get fucked.

Have fun.

>>2799087
bruv, ecu reprogramming, fuel lines and fuel injectors and your turbo gasoline does e85 and gets better compression and efficiency

>>2799539
That is in his unless

Don't take my word for it but I think you can mix gasoline with ethanol and get more bang for your buck

>>2799539
Why do you think I mentioned retuning engine, dumbass.
ECU retune is must by default, but along that you'll have to do additional preparations like getting high flow pump, new injectors made specifically for E85, and mixing in oil to the fuel because unlike normal gasoline E85 with E100 don't lubricate as well and will cause more engine wear, so you will have to do frequent engine checkups or you'll risk killing the engine. Also unlike normal gasoline, E85 absorbs water so you won't be able to leave car parked for days because your tank will end having water inside the system, and potentially the fuel itself will cause rusting inside the engine along with corrosion of plastic parts.

Do you tuck your shirt into you pants? And tuck your pants into your boots? I've been considering dressing better for work because I hate seeing my coworkers and boss in t shirts and shorts with sneakers at work. It looks like you don't care imo

>>2799807
Why the fuck does it matter what I wear to work tho?
I actually DON'T care, I'm here to get paid.

>>2799807
I tuck my shirt into my pants because I dress like an old man. pants in the boots only happens with rain boots though, I would never bother doing that on regular work boots. After a few minutes on the job they're going to slip out anyway. I doesn't matter because no one is looking at your feet.

>>2799807
I tuck my shirt in because I don't want to show off my ass.

Never heard of tucking pants into boots. That's weird. I've taped them down to my boots when I walked through some tall tick infested grass or poison oak.

Libraries used to carry copies of the National Electrical Code. You can view some of the stuff online, for free, but not all of it. A whole shit-ton of stuff, on wiring basics, is on utube. I would DEFINITELY learn the basic shit and learn it well, before looking for a job. Stripping wire, soldering wires, tinning wire, different gauges and wire types and what they're used for, common tools, etc. Any trade-shows or electrical symposiums in your area? Go to'em and learn the big players in the industry.

Working on a lathe is none of those

>>2799647
It is zen when you're watching Oddly Satisfying Ultimate Woodturning ASMR Compilation and don't have to deal with the sound or sawdust or otherwise engage with the activity.

I hate using my lathe nowadays. It used to be so much fun but now I obsess over little sanding marks and microscopic bits of torn grain or a less than satisfactory finish and I can hardly complete a project. I try doing new and challenging things but rarely do they turn out as I imagined and i throw them out.
OTOH, I saw some genuinely bad bowls in a small shop for local artists that people apparently liked but I have no idea how this hack was able to put a price on them in good conscience.

>>2799548
literally ZEN GARDENING
you know with the stones and raking patterns in sand and such. Wood turning is noisy and brutal.
Even clay pottery is more zen but still it places value in something materialistic meant to last and it gets imprinted with the creators touch which might hang around and prevent a complete passing from this existence.

Guess it's brain cancer day for me too then. Because of the 4-bit thing I can't even use the USI and just have to do everything manually.

I'm planning to build a platform similar to this autonomous "follow me" cooler using Arduino. I want my platform to follow me just like this cooler does, but I'm having trouble finding a GPS module similar to the one used in the video. Does anyone know a similar GPS module?

hey, ive gone that before, though i seem to have misplaced by pictures of it. good job anon! i believe i used that same tutorial. once you get C code working, you should use something like https://github.com/mpaland/printf to print over the UART line.

the battery pack of my hair trimmer reached the end of its life as it barely charges.
Replacements seem difficult to find so I took it apart to see if I could replace the cells.
the pack is labeled 2.4V 800mAh and inside there were two AA-looking 900mAh 1.2V NiCd flat-top cells with tabs soldered on a "PCB".
I'm having trouble finding the same NiCd cells so I was wondering if I could replace them with NiMH cells of the same capacity.
I've read they're not the same, as NiCd seems to have a higher peak current or something like that and there might be an issue with trickle charging.
Any help is appreciated.

>>2801119
I think they are interchangeable with caveats because the charging profile of the two types of battery are different. I am an EE but I know little about batteries in specific, sorry m8. Can you buy a charger with the battery pack you are looking into?

Also whatever charge monitor IC your thingmabob has is probably expecting the old pack... I hate consumer electronics I hate consumer electronics I hate consumer electronics (x 1000)

Never paint mud or even bare drywall without priming it first. You aren't your grandfather, there's no lead or anything in the paint anymore that makes it worth a piss. It will bubble no matter if it's flat or gloss.

The vapor barrier on the exterior is all you need unless you're doing the floor. If you have none I would go with the purple drywall for safety of mind. Moisture is only a problem when it's not allowed to dry out, in some cases a vapor barrier will make the problem worse.

I wanted to make a combo shampoo that includes Coal Tar and Selenium Sulfide for psoriasis/dandruff, since the off-the-shelf options only include one or the other and the dosage is rather low. Looked up the ingredients through sigma and it should be simple to purchase and mix, but keeping the ingredients in suspension might be tricky. Emulsions that I've made in the past were either too liquid and separated, or were such a gel that it started to get chunky. If anyone knows how to stabilize DMSO for safe topical use, I'm looking for papers.

I already make salves for itching with menthol, camphor, lidocaine and colloidal silver with hydrolyzed cornstarch (thick-it) as a base, and those have suited me fairly well. Actual cleansers are tricky because soaps break-up pre-bought micelle suspensions.

Had that before involving a /a/ book, house is older than that, silverfish and termites ruin houses pretty well.

See if you can get it patched and hire a exterminator if you have a lot of them. Should be a easy /diy/ solution for killing termites firsthand without a exterminator.

If it is a public job then they will have a process in place for all appointments so that they can’t be accused of hiring their friends and giving them cozy jobs.
