Hey yall, I've been thinking of starting a commercial vent hood cleaning business with a couple buddies being that we all have restaurant experience. I'm already thinking of chemical costs and basic shit like scrapers/ an LLC, any suggestions or tips about anything I'm not considering? General diy business thread if nothing else
I think it's a good idea, but too specific. You may not get enough jobs. Do grills and stove tops and ovens as well.You make that a business and you will do really well.Wear gloves and a mask, those chemical companies don't play
>>2791684If you have experience in sure you already know this, but be ready to work third shift a decent amount. I'm also assuming that you're planning on using a steam cleaner? It's a rough life, man. Make sure all of you are equal owners, because of the three of you, at least one will say fuck it right as you're about to score a decent contract.
>>2791684Do grease trap cleaning while you're at it.
Its a shitty job and you need fire certifications to actually get hired. Need an expensive steam pressure washer too. Youll want a fire suppression tech on payroll too.
>>2791684>I'm already thinking of chemical costs and basic shit like scrapers/ an LLC,wow you're thinking of chemicals, scrapers, and whether or not to form an llc? sounds like you got it all figured out, champ.
noticed the sewing thread was gone and i wish to discuss it
>>2791012diy block printing
>>2791122do this but take your digital file to a lasercutter and get it engraved on a block of wood and use that
What are some good books for a newfag? I've sewn a few things (biggest thing being pic related), but my stitches aren't that neat, and the end knots are a disaster, so I wanna see what I'm doing wrong. Like, the bowtie, I have no clue how to finish it after getting it on, so if I pull on it, it kinda just gets pulled away, instead of staying on it tightly.
>>2757873Would a sewing club be a good place to meet tradwives?
>>2772240>Paper is tougher than leather.There are a lot of different types of paper. That onion skin stuff that they print sewing patterns on, for example. So thin the machine won't know its there.
The design for this thing is so compelling, but most of it is a gaming thing. What features would you have built into it for doing real things with it while having your hands free?Things I can think of (besides radio, mp3, clock, messaging, etc):- Network monitoring: ping when some device just signed in to the home wifi (people are back home)- Scanning for wifi fransmitters (bugs)- tracking GPS - mesh network

>>2787150this teenaged poster mad as fuck lol whats wrong kid
>>2791126Why does the form factor of such a device have to be so thick and bulky when there are Android devices available in thin, lightweight formats?
>>2787144Basically all the stuff Garmin shoves into their watches. Optical HRM, pulse ox, stop watch and countdown timer, altimeter, barometer and compass.
Orange and white?
only light your house with fire at night
>>2791048>kitchen, Laundry room, bathrooms, utility rooms, basementWhite>Any other living space + exteriorWarm white
>>2791048warm light (2700-3000k) for cozy housecool light (=/< 4000k) for sterile modern garbage
>>2791048For my bedroom I have an overhead light that is at about 4000K and a desk lamp that is about 2700K.I really like that dual light color setup and it works well in other rooms like: kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms.>>2791121That's a good rule of thumb: work spaces get bright or cool white light, relaxing spaces get warm white light.
>>2791048Smart bulbs are nice. You can have them set to cooler temp during the day and warm in the evening/night.
What can I do with these?
>>2791615Sick burn faggot, now go back to your hoard
>>2791552Material for crickets to nest in
hand them out to middle aged women. also I’ve seen some people use these to start seed potatoes.
>>2791614this is true one time a guy gave me $80 for some old puffy floor mats on ebay and even drove to my house to pick them up. you never hear from them again because they realize they're stupid and move on
>>2791552You can glue them to your wall to improve sound acoustics.
>>2791360>Instead of drinking something delicious and enjoyable, down a trendy drug so you can't taste it
I drink pour-over coffee made with folgers. No sugar, but I like a bit of half&half.
>>2791360Kratom is cocaine for hippies and queers.
>>2770075a non autistic answer>do not make coffee, which relies on freshness, with preground coffee that's been sitting in a warehouse for a few years >do not pour boiling water over coffee- I dont remember the retarded chemistry behind it but if the water is actually past 100˚C it does bad chemistry shit to the chemicals in the coffee bean material>do not use a modern or otherwise automated coffee makerI 100% guarantee that it is not clean inside, I don't care how much vinegar or your bull's cum you run through it- it is not clean in terms of bacteria and also the build up of gay frog minerals in the machine. Don't be a faggot and use a $5 pour over funnel >only use filtered water a cup of coffee is 99% water, if you use dog shit water you're going to wind up with dog shit coffee pic related is genuinely all you need, and you get the lead glaze for free. Anybody who thinks you need more is either deeply offended by anonymous words on an anime forum or are wannabe internet influencers who have something to gain personally or financially by convincing retards that you need complex machinery to make coffee We've been making tea for thousands of years now which thousands of years of technological development and technique refinement now amounts to "just fucking put the tea in hot water whats the problem" Coffee is the same but, again, preground coffee goes bad MUCH faster than tea so coffee teabags aren't feasible but do exist
>>2770075Coffee brewing involves three things. Water temp, grind fineness, and extraction time. What you need of each factor depends on your brew method.
So my toilet started moving from its place a while ago and now its leaking shitcumpiss water like picrel.Tried to move it deeper into the connecting pipe but to no avail, the puddle and smell persists.Is there a way to fixing this without changing any parts or calling the plumber ?
Just bite the bullet and replace the seal. It's a cheap part and maybe an hours work. Stop living like a fucking animal
Lmao what kind of third world into the wall toilet is this?
>>2791544I was gonna say to replace the wax seal until I saw you lived in a third world country.
>Bauer dropped a new cordless ratchetWhat do we think?
>>2789118Any cordless ratchet larger than the M12 design end up being so large that you can’t get them in many spots where a small impact would fit, and the impact will be much more powerful. Plus the slide pack batteries, especially the 18V, that’s some thin ass plastic right where you want to pull on the thing to break stuff loose. That’s what has kept me from getting the Orange version. Those things are big compared to the M12. Even the DeWalt 12V has a lot of the same issues as the 18V/20V
>>2783973Don't lie FBI drop out
>>2783112Smells like cheap oil. Stores are robbed blind here. All my HF tools broke and I replaced them with better. I buy Milwaukee now.
>>2783112I didn't really know all that much about them. The first time I really heard people talk about them was their jack stands being unironically shit and could get you killed. So I avoid them entirely now.
I decided to under cut my fireplace to install laminate flooring. It turned out okay all things considered.
>>2791407is this as sketchy to use as a toe kick saw?
>>2789975>Posting on /Diy/>Not poorly rebuilding your entire fireplace to fix an easily fixed, often encountered problem You're doing it wrong, OP
>>2789976>That gapYou should have lowered the whole fireplace, anon
>>2790448this 100% quarter round anywhere looks like absolute dogshit. OPs work looks clean and nearly seamless. fuck all you autistic collars who think "bUt BrIcK sHoUlDnT bE oN wOoD" fuck you it looks way nicer than transition and caulk.
>>2791525Thanks some of these retards don't even own tools let alone a house. Ive been doing it piecemeal after working my full time job. Wrapped the otherwise of the fireplace yesterday, I chipped the board a bit but plan on building a book shelf there anyway. Just 1 full row and a partial left to do.
Anyone have good experiences buying a small lot (4-10 units) of 18650 batteries from a vendor on Amazon or Ebay?From what I gather, they are all sketchy as hell. Even the ones with good reviews seem suspect. The brands don't matter because they place if full of knockoffs (100% real authentic Samsung!)tl;dr where do I buy batteries?
>>2789848It's been a few years ago now, but twice I've had a decent experience ordering from:https://www.batteryjunction.com/
>>2790145name one business grade laptop that still uses 18650 cells
>>2789853This. Have never gone wrong with these glorious motherfuckers.
>>2790280Even goofy gamer laptops are usually too thin to accomodate 18650s nowadays but that doesn’t mean you can’t get other usable cells from them
>>2789848Hey my brother just went to the burn unit when one of these exploded. Whose flashlight sucks now stumpy.
Any good CB mod ideas?

lucky me I think I developed swimmers ear or something after a trip to the ocean. the ear pain sucks enough but it's also putting pressure on my jaw hinge making it literally impossible to sleep. to top it off I have to catch a plane in the morning so 0 chance to go to the doctor for proper treatment. is there anything I can do to effectively mitigate for the pain and swelling besides tylenol or am I just fucked until I can make it to a clinic?
>>2789157I'm the same way. Many of these opiates are a step or two removed from being morphine, but in some, the liver doesn't produce the right stuff to metabolize it, so it just passes through. I have taken codeine before and it did effectively nothing. Gotta get straight morphine or it's basically inert.
>>2789251Same anon.It's no coincidence that they tell us right in their face what they do. A definition is descriptive in mainstream dictionaries, based on the actual use of the word. Unless it's a law dictionary, then it could be pre/proscriptive. Although it's down to how the living man chooses to define. If left undefined, then the other definitions may stand.I'd say actual doctors are doing just that, manipulating nature in an unnatural way. How I used the words is at issue: I explained my definition. That a dead guy had another definition in his context, is his issue, and if you choose to use that definition, then that's for you to do.Language has been manipulated so that everyone is given informed consent, whether they are 'aware' of it or not.
>>2789640You could go to an STD clinic and get a shot in the ass of antibiotics. The nurse will like oogling your cheeks, and you'll get your infection resolved. Everybody 'wins'.
>>2789632You should mix it with water first. It’s also possible for those bubbles to cause extreme pain. I do this too
>>2789130What this anon said. I always keep various "fish" antibiotics in my medicine box for shit like ear infections that can pop up without notice. Shame they've seemed to have cracked down on it in the past couple years.
Looking to get into school to gain a degree in CS but figured that until I have enough money saved up to enter school, I can do the learning (via textbooks) now to prep me for later, so I am wondering;>1.) Any CS Major or Graduate, what or how would you modify this map?>2.) Most importantly, I am seeking good college text books that covers these blocks of learning
>>2784932why do you want to study computer science? you don't seem to like math much considering you are spending your entire first year without a real university-level math course and you don't even do linear algebra until 3rd year, which tells me you have 0 intention of taking a real math course at any point. just study electrical engineering or do a diploma in programming at community college. im afraid you may be falling prey to a decades=spanning marketing campaign
>>2790305>If you aren't already coding you should find another career path, one study intensive. CS favors natural aptitude.This because you would be competing against people for whom (at least early on) coding is a joy and a hobby. The purpose of work is sufficient money to RETIRE and there are still many ways to do that but not by following the herd off a cliff.
>>2790335Logic flaw. Zoomers are still soft; you are just arguing they are not born that way but are created soft by ridiculous educational policy. But even then typical zoomer crybaby bullshit. We live in a time of unprecedented information access and those classes are available at basically every decent public high school in america. But crybaby zoomers will sit around crying about how the educational system failed them and demand the criterion be made easier to accommodate them instead of studying. Unis will happily bend to them because they want their 200k tuition. I went to a shit rural high school. I studied in the library and looked online (circa 2001) when I was struggling with calc and I was able to figure it out. Now they have endless youtube videos explaining things in minute detail, khan academy, wolfram alpha, chatgpt, reddit, etc, but unless it’s spoonfed, highly structured, and forced by some external factor 95% of them won’t do it
>>2784932Recent software engineer grad; I don't understand the point of learning this before you enroll.Unless you have a specific niche interest in low level programming for example you wouldn't need to actually learn all this before hand. Don't get me wrong it is useful, and I feel that my courses on most of these subjects were useful however not nearly as much as actually programming. What you'll start to realize as you start actually working on projects is that very rarely will you actually implement many of the things your learning about. you'll almost always have some sort of abstraction which is what you will really use in applications as opposed to the barebones implementations. In my opinion youll learn best from just trying challenging projects and finding the best solution (including the stack) and make sure you understand why it's being done that way. Skills aside, this will help you build a knowledge base of different languages/frameworks which will be used in your job or other projects. You'll pick up most of the theory along the way. I also find it's much easier to grasp the theoretical concepts if you can relate it to real applications of the theory being applied.Learning platforms is also important. I would switch to Linux as your daily OS and learn about how it actually works through trying different things. Cloud is also important as aside from embedded code, things are moving towards micro service based cloud applications. Learning to work with things like AWS is going to be really useful for finding a job or even working freelance as it simplifies things if leveraged properly > Inb4 didn't answer questionThat being said to answer your question, the program map does look good and follows relatively closely to what I was doing. Math is normally easier if you really do it sequentially (without big year gaps) so would suggest that.
>>2784932Do not waste your time taking pre-calc. If you're decently intelligent you can pass calc 1 and 2 with just basic algebra knowledge going into them. I know because I did it and it wasn't that bad. If you know you're not smart enough to do that I'd give up now because it only gets worse from there.
I want to do stuff like pic related, clearly starting with something smaller and work my way up, have some space, have not too much money but I have time.I don't know anything about stone, how do I start? Just buy a hammer and chisel and carve away?
>>2791434>carbide chisel Honestly didn't know this was a thing. Carbide doesn't take well to shock loading though, so I still think it might be a meme...
>>2791262>Just buy a hammer and chisel and carve away?Literally yes.
>>2791556This.And a face shield.I've got a little scar where a chunk of stone hit my cheek.
use a pencil to mark the form
>>2791300>if you want your carvings to survive for 10000 years or moreI mean ... for anything past the next 50 years it doesn't really matter what I "want" does it?
A place for anything to do with Welding.Post your welds, ask questions and discuss sticking metals together.IDK I just want a place to talk about welding.
>>2790629no.
>>2790629The classic combination for hobby use is a little wire welder for sheet metal and a transformer stick machine (AC is fine) with 6011 cellulosic rods. You do need to practice (not on your workpiece, that's the usual mistake) and destructively test samples so you know you can repeatably make sound welds. Most new welders fail to practice and fail to ensure clean metal (flap disc on an angle grinder does nicely). If not sure you can cut and fit the new parts then use the wire welder to tack them and take the result to someone who can properly finish the job. Most time spend is cutting and fitting, not welding so even if you had to pay that saves a bunch.
>>2790362Yeah I think this Friday is my last day, otherwise it's next Friday. >yesterday he comes and finds me in the shop>he has the CEOs assistant with him>he tears into for adding a part to the system wrong>he tears into me for not telling him the order went through and needs to be added to production >he tears into me for not telling him we already have material for the part, because he was about to order some more.

>>2791479godspeed anon. hope you get on at the new gig and it doesn't suck as bad
>>2791581Nvm. The head of the engineering department actually heard the tantrum this guy was throwing and went straight to the plant manager then the CEOs assistant about it to defend me, making it clear to them the mistake I made wasn't a big deal at all. The engineer and PM I guess have noticed how he talks to me for a while but never said anything to me until now. I am sure this guy will keep trying to pin mistakes on me but I'm a lot happier today than I was yesterday
