OP I'm telling you this because mold took a year off my life from sickness. I was coughing up blood. You should be treating this as an emergency.
>mold on the walls
Get a mold spray (bleach should be in the mixture), spray it on the target. When I had this problem google said "white vinegar", that shit wasn't enough for surfaces. Mold spray is the way to go.
>Mold in the air
Get a HEPA filter. Dehumidifer isn't enough.
A >$200 HEPA filter is worth it, worth more than groceries imo. You can go a few days without food but you can't go that time without breathing air.
>Mold in clothes
Throw them out, don't take chances.

He's going to try to avoid a proper solution it seems

>>2949279
Open your windows. Check for pipe and roof leaks. A thermal camera helps. Mold is not as bad as people say. The studies that started the hysteria have not been able to be replicated. It's a Jewish lawyer scam like everything else. Mysteriously people lived with mold for centuries and only made this connection in the 90s. Any particulate at all can bother someone with asthma.

>>2949279
Even just a fan will help keep the air circulating and keeps the area dry.
Keep the dust down, put an air filter on that fan. A lot of mold is actually growing on a mat of dust that accumulates.
Wipe surfaces with metallic salts and end-cut preservatives:
Zinc napthanate is pretty clear. Copper napthanate is like dark green ink. Both are oil-based.

>>2950695
>"white vinegar"
black mold is one of the most acid-resistant organisms in the world. They use black mold to make industrial quantities of citric acid.
The only think vinegar is good for is maybe removing calcium deposits that the mold can grow on.
bleach is the thing. Also, hydrogen peroxide. But those effects will wear off.

I've got some regular foam strips I put on my door at least 7 years ago and they're still perfectly fine. Maybe for an outside door they're junk and fall apart. In some places the adhesive might've come away, but the door clamps them in place anyway so unless the whole 2m+ length fails, they're fine.

In terms of soundproofing from sealing the gaps, it's a minor change at best. I can still hear the TV a couple of rooms away. Best bet is getting headphones.

I have question, my work requires me to measure the protective ground resistance between pieces of equipment, what are some cheap ohm meters that will meet my needs, example below.

Protective ground resistance: ≤300 mΩ

Advice?

>>2953200
if you followed the steps that means you have a lacquer finish, so i'd probably find some resource on reapplying the lacquer, but i'd assume you'd have to sand it down a bit first and then just apply a new layer on top, iirc lacquer can be applied on top of a previous layer, it blends in.

however unless this is a high quality door wing and/or you are well off and live in a high quality home, i wouldn't really worry about messing it up or whatever. i repaired a few pieces of furniture where i just applied a coat of paint on top to achieve a desired look and that's it. some pieces i use and leave the worn out areas as-is, it adds character imo.

if you have a piece of wood lying around or an old piece of furniture that you can just mess up, i'd buy a small can of lacquer and experiment on that first to get comfortable.

Good switches are nickel plated copper. Chinkshit might be nickel plated brass or steel, rarely copper. Ultra chinkshit might be steel as-is.
The one in your picture looks like nickel plated something.

>>2952219
>>2952227
Looking at their catalogue, it's the same design. No busbar. Do they really make the bolts themselves out of copper? Is that not too soft of a metal? Will the plating not wear off from tightening the nuts? Or am I meant to get it right on the first try and never touch it again?

>>2952357
It's gonna have a torque rating where it doesn't die from torque and transfers enough current reliably. But the screws are usually brass, terminals are sooner copper (nickel coated).

>>2952357
>am I meant to get it right on the first try and never touch it again?
thats the assumption. most users have no desire to play battery cable roulette for entertainment
butter the terminations up with ox gard crank the nuts down and hope you never see it again

>>2952133
Do not buy the chinkshit anon. I had a cheap one where the rivets were so bad the top plastic part soft as fuck too couldn't hold the bar inside and the contact was very weak as in dangerous and it arced inside, destroying the soft "copper" bar that pivots to make contact.

You could fix this by isolating any reactive impulse from your arm. e.i. let the thing disconnect from your arm on impact, or let is slide back and disperse the force over time.

if you don't sand through your varnish layer (which is why I suggest higher grit like 320 or 400 and don't going at it too hard), then you'll only be taking off the high spots and smoothing it out, and repeating that 2-3 times at least with varnish with result in a smoother finish after each step. Basically after the first two coats, you're no longer sanding the wood, you're sanding the finish and making it smoother (which is why higher and higher grits are used in things like gunstocks that have a smooth glass mirror finish).

>>2952043
won't it give it a hazy look?

>>2952044
it'll haze up after sanding yes, which is why you then apply your varnish over it (and that in theory has the same solvent as your previous varnish layer so they meld together). This is also why you don't sand your final smooth coat. You wait for it to cure then you wax polish it. IF you have enough varnish buildup, you can straight up high grit polish it too and then wax it, and that'll be bartop finish quality.

Yeah I had a fixation yesterday on "torque". There is something magical to this word tho. People here don't ever use words like "powerful" they just say that there machine has a lot torque.

>>2952142
> In Latin, torquis means a twisted neck-chain, necklace, collar, wreath, or ring. It is derived from the verb torqueo, which means "to twist" or "to turn," referring to the typical twisted shape of the object. This Latin word is the root for modern English terms like "torc" and "torque"

>>2952142
Oddly enough, "t" and "d" are often switched from the original Latin as time moves on and languages change. The original "torqeo" (the verb that torquis derived from) actually because "dorkeo" in late Latin, and that's where our term "dork" has originated from. As in

I am so tired of this type of shit. there are these emotional support whatever knitted dolls all over amazon.

I want a weaving calculator that will tell me exactly how big a thing you came make with a given amount of yarn, accounting for warp vs weft. You can input the amount of yarn you have and maybe a minimum length or width and then you get a rectangle you can drag to adjust length vs width and figure out exactly what you can do.

Instead I'm guessing and checking with calculators that will either tell you how much you can do (warp only) or how much yarn a given thing will take and it's a pain in the ass. I just want to buy a bunch of yarn and weave a blanket. (yeah technically a balanced weave is half and half, but it never quite works out that way in practice)

I might just program one myself. The calculations are easy, it's just making the effort to turn them into something useful that I'd have to work up the motivation for.

I think has more to do with the assumption that republicans are anti gay, they're poking fun at the cognitive dissonance more than anything. GOP hardliners all being closet faggots is a rather amusing thought.

And I'm poking fun at the rampant hypocrisy of the left.

They're so inclusive of the gays that they make it so it's no longer politically correct to call someone gay when they are being a huge faggot.

Then they immediately start insinuating that Republicans are gay as some kind of insult. Quite ironic isn't it?

He held it for me until the weekend and drove it 2 hours one way to meet me saving me an extra 4 hours round trip so I gave full asking price because I'm not a jew.

Pulled up right next to it in my own crew cab v10 manual and hopped out. Two absolute Chad's standing there shooting the shit for about 10 minutes. Asked him a few questions about the pickup. Shared a couple stories. Handed over the cash and he handed over the title and bill of sale. He didn't even count the cash. Left the plates on it for my drive home. Offered to remove them and send them back to him if he wants. He didn't care, he knows I won't screw him over. Shook hands on a deal well done (insert "Dillon you son of a bitch" scene from the Predator movie). Drove it 4 hours home through the mountains. It's an absolute unit.

I haven't had any issues with their front ends, and I've been driving Chevy service trucks for quite some time. This is my first personal Chevy 3/4 ton, and so far so good. It's a great truck in my opinion, and I like the interior and exterior design on this generation. My last one was a Ford, which I also enjoyed. The issue with the Cummins, is there's a Dodge built around it.

Bought this from my dad which he's had for the past 10 years with a trailer hooked up to it for most of that time. Would use it to move cars or take scrap to the junkyard and he's never maintained it in all that time so I'm trying to bring it back to life. Doesn't have a diesel but it's got that big block 454. Biggest issue it has right now is sometimes it won't accelerate when I press the gas pedal. Friend told me it was probably misfiring so I changed the spark plugs (didn't work) but I'm pretty sure it's just the massive exhaust leak which is also triggering an 02 sensor and EGR code. Wanted to cut off the exhaust but it would have sounded horrible so I'm just going to change the flange behind the first catalytic converter. Eventually I want to do some badass shit to it like a cam, leveling kit, long tube headers, new exhaust, etc. but right now I just want it to run right.

>>2952255
>right now is sometimes it won't accelerate when I press the gas pedal.

Drive by wire? Throttle position sensor maybe? If not check your fuel pressure, clean your mass airflow sensor, etc. The usual culprits.

>>2952297
Not sure I'll have to check. Another issue is it won't start sometimes unless I give it gas so it could also be the fuel pump or injectors starting to go out. Also I couldn't get the bolts off the cat so I just ended up cutting them both off. Buddy said tomorrow he would help me weld in a straight pipe which is fine since the cats were clogged anyway. Wondering if I should also just get rid of the old muffler but that would probably be too much.

I don't think they were trying for a stud. Holes look big like they were using plastic drywall anchors. They should have at least used molly bolts.
