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
>>2795670burn the molds and move on
One of my best yet
>>2795670My 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.

In this thread we share general experiences and tips on how to make your living situation more efficient, be it in terms of saving money, reducing time waste(less maintenance/upkeep), organization or anything else that may simplify and improve your life>on saving moneyit's not really about the little things like unplugging your phone charger, focus on the main energy drains and commit to more "drastic" changes:- unless you do some hardcore meal prepping chances are that your fridge is way too big. downsize for a smaller more efficient unit and fill it to the brim if you have to, a full fridge wastes less energy and having a smaller space forces you to be more intentional when shopping so you have to think twice about buying extraneous crap you don't actually need- wash your clothes in cold water, most of the energy in a washing machine goes toward heating. if you have the room and weather, line dry them outside. both these things also help clothes last much longer- avoid the range oven, use an air fryer or small convection oven for faster results and a fraction of the energy- most of the world does just fine without AC. use weather appropriate clothing + an electric blanket in the winter and a fan in the summer>other stuff- you would be surprised how much clutter affects your mood. most things don't need to be on display at all times so use closed storage solutions, if you have open shelves they should be filled with storage boxes to keep all the crap out of sight. will also keep your stuff clean and dustfree- NOTHING improves the a room like a rug. throwing a rug in your living room / kitchen / dinning room / bedroom / bathroom / office will completely change how you perceive and experience the space. just be smart with choosing the right size and style to make the most of itJust some things of the top of my head. Are there any practices you've implemented at home that made your life better?
>>2800859>"man, I wish I had more room"I kinda envy you, but as a major /diy/ slut, I could use a huge shop to store all the tools I'd buy if I had room, not to mention a project car or 3. Wood working, machining, welding, painting, the list is long.
>>2800871I'm more of an artfag so just having an arts and crafts table on my small office is enoughTo be fair the things you mention seem like the kind you would have in a separate shed/garage/workshop not within your proper living quarters
>>2800881My dream house would be a huge shop with finished rooms in the back for living in. That's not a common house though because it's impractical for anyone other than a single man.
>>2800859>Unless you plan on raising a large family, the smaller a house is the betterHow many sq ft/person is optimal in your opinion?
My current 50 Sq M setup is about 22 for a living/dining/kitchen open space, 6 for a bathroom, 11 for a bedroom and 11 for the other bedroom(my office). I can host small gatherings just fine but for multiple people at all times could feel a bit cramped so I would add around an extra 10 for the common living space, wouldn't give up the office(though it can easily be shared with a partner) and each child would need an extra 10 for a bedroom. Then it comes down to whether you feel like you would need a second bathroom(one works fine for a couple + 1 child but with multiple children it probably calls for another one). Regardless I would still try to separate the toilet and shower areas to facilitate bathroom use by multiple people. Multiple kitchens/living rooms are really really dumb.And since with family life shit piles up easier a shed or garage would also be important.
Post what you've acquired recently and why little paypiggies
>>2800068Those long driver bits are nice too>>2797637Spent it. Got me a Kobalt palm router for $59. The big router and table has been ok for me so far. The $90 was tempting too, but I’m not woodworking enough and the Kobalt was on clearance from $99 to $59, plus came with an edge guide and stuff.
>>2800102I have an idea on how to get a LSA router with Lifetjme warranty bits but let me try it out first before I saw anything Picked these up today They’re both 3/8” drive The smaller one uses snap-ons 1/4” body for max clearance I’m going to use the 3/8” low pro with those Astro low profiles harbor sells as quinn
Another week another auction... The old Milwaukee vacuum was what I really wanted. I was actually looking into getting one earlier in the year, but they were anywhere from 530-650 dollars and most places that sold them actually claimed they are discontinued. Couldn't pass this one up for $27! Swivel sockets because why not... $4 file cabinet? Hell I'll find a place to put it... Couple more empty metal boxes to put stuff in? Hell yes! My wife wanted the stools and table for the front porch. And I've never seen a Rigid monkey wrench in that style with the flat jaws. It's made for putting on hex nuts and fittings... Also bought another set of 3 Knipex cobras, a set of 3 Channelocks, and a set of magnetic trays and paper towel holder for my service cart off of Scamazon. Had a $100 gift card for there from my birthday I wanted to use up before I lost the damn thing... And just ordered another cordless Milwaukee Fuel sawzall off e-bay. I keep wanting another one up at my shop because my main one stays at home (actually it's been staying in my pickup here recently... Handy for chopping downed trees off of fence lines) Last week I got a Dewalt battery powered backpack sprayer. I'm a Milwaukee guy, but the reviews on their backpack sprayer were not great and I didn't need the switch tank capability, and wanted something as light as possible because I don't want to have to pack around any more weight than necessary when spraying weeds...
I bought some bi-metal blades for my hacksaw and lag bolts this morning. The dog was happy to come along for the ride. I hope anons have a great day in your projects.
>>2800450That sounds chill anon.I shit myself by accident today. Trying to work through the shame with some joinery.

There are only 2 times I use cordless over corded: When I need to drill holes on a rooftop or in a tall ladder and when I need to cut pipes in narrow spaces with an angle grinder.Corded is always superior.
>>2800900> a hand full of screwMy hand is likely bigger and thicker than yours from all the manual screwing I’ve done over the years. But I’m putting on the mailbox with only two screws, maybe 1 or 2 " at most. It’s like nothing.It took me longer to type this response than it would to to screw a sheet metal to a 4x4.If I was using lag bolts for whatever crazy reason, I’d use one of them cordless ratchets in picrel.I have a few sets of these from maintaining vehicles.> pilot hole on construction grade timber for a #8 screwRmfao… c’mon man.> haul generatorIt’s always in the truck already.

>>2800884Okay. I'm still going to buy cordless tools because i'm not a broke dinosaur stuck in the 80s.
>>2800997That’s fine. Don’t forget to buy a fendi drill to show off how rich you are. Get the one they tell you is solid gold with what they tell you are diamonds encrusting the shell though.
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?
>>2792916Get 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
>>2793388Checked. looks great, keep it up brother. I only just noticed I can snap breadboards together so can fit an esp8266 lol.

doesn't washing undeneath the car putting water to metal rust it?
>>2800861It’s to remove the salt. It’s worse than plain water.Rust forms, and accelerates once it does form, by galvanic action like a battery. The rust and the plain steel act as electrodes and the salt water is a conductive electrolyte between them.
>>2800865salt... live in Australia... do we have that?

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?
>>2798791Veggie 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.
>>2798803Good rule of thumb I think, I'll keep this in mind.>>2798816They've got individual yards out back and the apartments themselves are more or less sectioned off. Don't know a good way to describe it. They're more like trailers than apartments in form I guess.
>>2798791That one retard that keeps animals in the neighborhood...

I am planning to build a cheap and simple HEPA air filtration system for my office. Anything you can recommend or have build one in the past, anons?

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. Am I going to be forced to do a third coat or can I just fade out these mistakes somehow?
>>2800726I'm using a 10L bucket in what proportions should I use it? >>2800749I get the feeling the ones i'm using go to shit a bit too fast.
>>2800683You 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.
>>2800869>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. I'm gonna rent it out anyway.

What sort of wall hardware would I need to make this? I'm thinking keyholes are out of the question because I want it to be durable.
>>2800891What is "this?" your photo shows a piece of wood. Is it 6 inches long or 10 feet long? Is it a stair rail or is it a cabinet handle? What are you attaching it to? Go to /sqtddtot/ faggot.
>>2800893You're mom didn't pay for ballet lessons? No wonder you have such a tight ass.

I got this dewalt vacuum it's old and European, i can only find one source of filters, but i noticed alot these eurovacs have the same paper rectangle filter with orange foam, are euro vac filter standard?
>>2800534Not really, Kärcher and Dewalt and some other shop vacs use the same model known as D27901. They come in different ‘grades’ tho with the original Dewalt one being up to €100 and clones low as €10. The expensive one can be pressure washed iircPhilips and AEG use almost the same model for some normal vacs but those have notches and won’t fit a shop vac
>>2800666Actually GAL stands for Guste Agregiĝi Litro, which is "Correct Aggregate Litres" in Esperanto, another system devised and used by annoying eurotards to solve a problem that didn't exist.
>>2800534>are euro vac filter standardthere are like 3 or 5 oem who sell their vacuum under two dozen brand names

HVAC is for faggot.all you need is a 2 holes on the wall, dust filter, and 2 fans (optional)
>>2793677>>2793727>>2793969The feeling when old people arguing.>>2794807Thermaltake brushless 200mm fan $14Small solar panel $20Converter from solar voltage to 13.8v (or 12) $10. (may not be needed - see below)that's it, and wire.The fan takes extremely little power. Even a 25w panel they sell all over TEMU will do. The flex ones that have 6 cells and a 12v dongle coming out of a black box on the back, have an internal regulator that knows how to charge a 12v lead acid. I've been doing that straight, mounted on a tractor hood w magnets, for years. You do not need the bullshit charge controller they offer to bundle with it. They just have no idea what they are selling.It also comes with the barrel connectors and cables/wire, so you can skip the buying wire part too. Just that panel and the thermaltake fan. The fan comes in black, or clear with blue LEDs. Get the clear and delete the LED's. They just pop out of the socket.
