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

>>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?

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.
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.

>>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
Trying to restore a swede jacket that belonged to my friends husband.Ordered a special brush from amazon. Seems really stiff like it's going to need a really good brushing.Question: The guides online say use vinegar and water to remove stains. What if I put it in the wash with a bunch of vinegar? The whole thing is pretty run down.
>>2790775peak swedish
Bump. Any advice? Got a brush in the mail and some vinegar. I take it from the apparent stiffness of the brush that you've gotta go pretty hard all over?
Vinegar worked well. Just got the brush in the mail but it doesn't seem to really do anything.

- you can collect your own water- you can grow your own food- you can produce your own energySo 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?
>>2791133You can either get with a netgear or other mofi router that will accept a sim, and run an external antenna up a mast,or do like i said: amplifier, comes with a directional antenna for outside and a panel antenna for indoors. put your tetherphone in front of the panel, usb tether it to the r6350 running openwrt. The Smartphone USB tethering guide is quite good, I wrote quite a bit of it (and then it was edited etc so a couple of people worked on it), for openwrt, and dd-wrt.firewall:nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname usb0 ip ttl set 65nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname usb0 ip6 hoplimit set 65#for USB tethering, OR:nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname wan ip ttl set 65nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname wan ip6 hoplimit set 65#for regular WAN ethernet uplinkIt's a little tricky at the very beginning, because your R6350 after you flash it, will need a normal upstream internet connection through the usual blue WAN port. You'll see in the wiki there are some commands to retrieve additional USB modules after flashing; the router is going to try to pull those directly from it's upstream internet.

My parents pulled out an old tree in the back corner of our backyard, and got someone to build a (shittly constructed) shed on a cement pad. The back of our yard was always low and usually had a little water after a heavy rain, but now the puddles have grown, and they stay for a few days afterwards. Would this be a good place to build a garden, or would too much water kill the plants? Would a raised garden bed help keep the plants healthy, and how high would I need to raise it? Or what crops could I plant which can thrive in wet soil? Im in an area with very good soil, with little clay, but im in the northeast, so winters are cold. I have a small garden, but im kinda clueless as to what crops grow best in wet soil.

I want to implement an error detecting and correcting system to keep my data perpetually.I would need it to work through the deaths of individual drive, and I should be able to varry the amount of redundancyIt would also be great to know where there is already error correction in my dataDo y'all know any good resources, programs, etc?Thanks
I guess OP accidentally left SQTDDTOT out, but that's fine. I bought some GE silicone sealant in the caulk tube format a year or two ago, and just got around to using it. It seemed a bit runny but otherwise ok. Now, several days later, it's as gooey and runny as it was the first day. I did my entire bathroom, so please tell me it's going to cure eventually and I don't have to clean it all up. THANKS!
>>2791587>I would need it to work through the deaths of individual drive, and I should be able to varry the amount of redundancyWhat you want is a RAID array on a NAS. Depending on your needs and cost restraints you will need to pick a raid level (see picrel)Raid is only one part of keeping data perpetually, and should follow a 3-2-1 backup plan:3 copies of your data2 Different storage media (HD + Disc, HD + Tape, HD + SSD, etc)1 copy off-prem (Stored in separate physical location to avoid catastrophe like fires or floodsError correction is built into plenty of filetypes, but data should probably be re-written every 2-3 years on a hard drive to meet industry best-practices. there are drive cloning tools you can use to do this (I use Clonezilla). Obviously you need two disks if you are using cloning to rewrite your data periodically. IMO, many people have had data on hard drives for decades, but your risk tolerance is up to you. If you are okay with your data being non-ready you could always archive them with 7zip or winRAR. The compression algorithms have built in error correction on decompression, but obviously if you want to use the files you would need to decompress it. I hope that helps. People love to scream that physical media is dead, but if you're looking for long term storage and don't mind paying a bit, you can always get a used LTO5 drive and write 1.5tb per tape. Those data tapes are still used for a reason- if stored well and kept in a controlled environment, they will last 30+ years. Biggest problem with tape is that the read/write hardware is often hundreds and hundreds of dollars, even used. Let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything. this might be a better question for >>>/g/

I had to replace the compressor on this thing after 6 years, would like to extend the life of this one. The thing switches it on and off too quickly, under 5 minutes, I've heard this is bad for the compressor, you should wait around 10-15 minutes after turning it off to turn it back on again. It switches that quick because I have a window open and an exhaust fan running 24x7 for important reasons. It still cools down the room very well. How can I change it's logic and set a minimum time before the compressor kicks in?
I've never seen a modern inverter mini-split actually turn off its compressor under normal usage, unless you manually change the set temperature. They usually start at high speed, ramp down a bit while cooling/heating and then once the temperature setpoint comes close start slowing down the compressor gradually, until they reach equilibrium, after which point they maintain that very slow speed.Non-inverter ACs are either 20 years old or US windows/central air units.
>>2791332Any minisplit that isnt an inverter, ie using a contactor, is not a real ac. Its real chinkshit. If op is so concerned about his conpressor he should get a brand with something to stand behind.
>>2791326I'm only going to wire it up so that it disconnects the signal wire to the main contactor running the compressor. No way this little shit can handle anything close to 10A.
>>2789714Check your thermostat.
>>2789714>It switches that quick because I have a window open and an exhaust fan running 24x7 for important reasons. It still cools down the room very well.well, theres your problem retard... its detecting a change in temperature and turning the compressor on... its doing exactly what it was designed to do. they dont design these so retarded idiots can just leave windows open and expect it to KEEP the room cool.I bet you have the window open and exhaust fan cause you smokin weed all day or growing the shit. fuck you, dont blame the appliance for not working properly when you are the cause of it.

I have a blued steel screw that I cannot source a replacement for that the first 2/3's of was stripped, the application is relatively low torque and isn't anything crucial, but it only barely engages and if you try to tighten it, it just disengages from the threads without causing damage.I dont' have a lathe to attempt to make a new screw, and it is not so simple to just be able to make it out some bar stock that's the correct OD and peaning a head to it or something janky like that. It could be welded, but it would still present the issue of the new material being very hard to machine without a lathe and tap. Brazing obviously would be more favorable to machine, but I do not have oxy to melt brass. Would it be viable to attempt to use a propane torch and use solder to build up the threads in order to retap them? Threadlocker, copper wire or teflon tape wouldn't be an appropriate fix due to it being need to be removable.
>>2791271Thread files are a thing but you still the problem of strength and getting more material on there
>>2791368K, that’s more thread gore than I was expecting. Zinc plating won’t do it.Easier to fabricate a whole new screw out of a nail.
>>2791397I tried peening the threads with an auto punch but obviously that didn't bring them up enough.I said fuck it and tried to tap the other part with the metric tap that seemed closest in size, initially it seemed smooth, but it did end up taking out some chips. After fully tapping it, it really didn't look like it was cross threaded or that it was the wrong pitch like what might happen if you accidentally tap with two different pitches or a metric and a SAE. I suppose the screw could've damaged it somehow or maybe left some of the stripped material in the threads. It's a through hole, so I threaded the screw in from the other side since it it's not crossing a gap, and perhaps it might be a hair loose, it felt about the same as it did prior to taping, so I'm just going to operate off it being a m4x.7. I really can't see how the original screw could've been damaged like that given the condition of both the head, and the part it was threaded into wouldn't indicate being gorilla nigger retarded like that.
>>2791271
>>2791271I had a similar problem on a bike once. Ended up putting metal epoxy (premade stuff that's basically metal powder in epoxy resin) into the female threads, then greasing and "screwing" the stripped screw into it. Left it to harden, unscrewed it and the thread was pretty much fixed.That was on a rearviewmirror though. Not sure how well this method would hold up to actual loads.
