Supposedly: >cigar tobacco is air-cured and alkaline - it can't be inhaled>cigarette tobacco is oven-cured and acidic - it can be inhaled... is this true? Bonus Q: what causes cancer (allegedly) and how to minimize it?
>>2824650IIRC they can only grow Nicotiana rustica (wild tobacco) for ceremonial purposes which has incredibly high nicotine content and tastes like shit. It's the same variety that you have to consume to vomit & diharrea purge your body before doing ayahuasca. All commercial tobacco varieties are descended from rustica but have been selectively bred for lesser nicotine content and smoother, less vomit inducing taste.

Is a giant speaker (to play fan noises) + IEMs a more cost effective way to block out noise compared to tearing down your wall and adding a ton of mass to it?
Great way to impair your hearing over time, leading to early onset dementia.
Mass is the only way to actually block sound, unless you have some sort of active noise cancelling running.What does the giant speaker playing fan noise do in your scenario?What's fan noise?Plus if you want to block noise, wear actual earplugs, not IEMs.What are you actually trying to do?

A place to talk about general security questions. How do you plan your home security/home defense? Suppose you not only have a need to know of an intrusion, but to prove an intrusion occurred for legal purposes. Can you DIY (e.g. door/window sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi logging events) or do you need to pay a security company like ADT to run a certified system that can be used as evidence to corroborate that a break-in happened?
>>2827322You can diy a system, but don't use a raspberry pi. There's all kinds of dedicated hardware you can use for saving video or logging events from sensors.

>>2827322Just get cameras if you're worried about a dispute with insurer. It's harder to dispute a video showing the break-in than some arbitrary .csv sheet with timestamps of sensor events. They might as well say you made that shit up yourself.I recently bought a 50$ dahua wifi camera to play with and it's great. API allows it to be connected to your own stuff and you can set it to record to SD card, upload footage live to your FTP or whatever the fuck you want.

noticed the sewing thread was gone and i wish to discuss it
>>2826182Pant hems typically have a slight taper to them, so if you turn up the hem, esp after shortening it, the bottom is slightly narrower than the remaining leg. 2 things to try--press the leg with steam to shrink it slightly, then turn ip the hem and dry press it to set the fold before stitching the new hem, or stretch the hem manually as you stitch the hem, to make the length equal.

Yard marking calcium carbonate as parting powder, worked great. Designed a little ashtray in Fusion360 and turned it into a pattern. I did a pretty bad job but I was impatient and really wanted everything ready to do this casting today. Rammed up fine, might've been a little dry, but just barely. Worked out okay though, very happy with the result after a brief cleanup.Do you scrap? Stack? Do you sell signs on Etsy? Do you sand cast? Investment casting? Do you like huffing zinc fumes and snorting silica powder? Show me your furnace, show me your castings.Sand and jpeg compression don't get along.
>>2829249There is a big downside, being acrolein, a chemical so pleasant it's been used as an irritant in chemical weapons to burn eyes and blister skin. Tiny amounts are fine, you get tiny amounts from the majority of cooked foods. This isn't a tiny amount, this is clouds, you can feel it on your skin from several feet away. After pouring I have to let things cool down a LOT before demolding otherwise the fumes are just too much, even with the respirator on that visible cloud of nastiness is incredibly acrid, biting, suffocating, just incredibly unpleasant.

Supposing, hypothetically, there was this safe that had long ago lost its key, what method would you use to open it?Violence is acceptable, but no explosives.

>>2822051with a shitty sub 200 dollar safe:1st step, angle grinder off the sheet metal on the exterior side wall2nd step, chisel off filler material or just break it into pieces with a hammer3rd step, dremel off the final sheet metal layer, alternatively it can be chiseled through like a tin can or sawed through if you are worried about stuff inside catching on firewith an very expensive safe vault filled with lead or thick steel i would start with oxyacetylene torch then try using either a chisel on fireproof material or an diamond angle grinder wheel. with the final layer of steel i would drill in with a tungsten drill bit then use a tungsten fox tail saw (HSS will do fine unless the vault is made out of hard tool steel)this is all in case where the safe doesn't have obvious security flaws like a shitty lock, parts that can be moved with a magnet or just be moved with a dead blow hammer. honestly just hit it with a hammer in a bunch of places while jiggling the key or move the magnet around it and you might get lucky

I have an old book apparently bound in linen, and I want to attach these metal book corners to it. It's very important to me, though, so if I use glue, I don't want it to be visible.The corner pieces are 4cm at the longest points, so the solid parts, between the gaps, are very small. I'd need an adhesive that can be applied in very, very small spots so that when the metal piece is pressed down, the glue doesn't spread and become visible.Any idea what I could do? I'm hoping to find a very specific glue instead of just using some random cyanoacrylate, or polyurethane, or whatever. I can include a more scaled photo later.
>>2826244cover the visible side of the metal pieces in masking tape to prevent glue from running on to it, use a spray adhesive like 3M Super 77 on the side you want to glue to the book. Wait a couple minutes after spraying to allow the glue to set, remove masking tape, then press it on to the book.
>>2826250Awesome. Will try this when the spray adhesive arrives.
>>2826317you'll probably want a small tool like a spudger to pry the metal off the masking tape. you'll also probably want to put on gloves before removing the tape, and remove the gloves when you go to place the pieces as you'll probably have some get some glue on them. assuming those metal pieces are cheap, practice on something you dont care about before hand
>>2826326Very cheap, yes. There are ~20 of them.
>>2826326he also could use that liquid application masking material that model makers use when painting. There are a couple of different kinds that gunpla modelers use.the reason I suggest this is that it might be difficult getting the masking tape to cover all the little nooks along the edges of the metal things, but paint-on masque could help (it peels off when dry)it depends on how good OP is at working with tape though. The spray-on adhesive is a good idea, I’ve used the temporary stuff before and it is good for applying an even layer of adhesive without globbing. This is especially important when attaching to a surface like a fabric-bound book where even temporary misalignment will leave a permanent glue smear on the fabric.
Found an electric bike that was abandoned a long time ago. It's not in too bad of shape given how long it's been sitting out exposed to the elements, nothing some basic maintenance can't fix. The frame is sturdy, it just has minor cosmetic damage like rust or scratches here and there. The chain assembly while rusted, I managed to restore to working condition with some oil. The front tire is fine from what I can tell, just needs some air. The back tire's inner tube was ruptured and needs replacing, an easy fix. However, the real problem lies in the fact that it does not have a seat or a battery to power it. Plus the battery is integrated into the seat itself as well, so there's also that problem to deal with. A charger for the battery once I hopefully find one would be nice too. Also there's the problem where I'm not quite sure what the exact model of bike it is as well, due to it being a foreign model from South Korea and there's two different variants of what it could be. Based upon my research it's either a Samchuly Phantom FE or a Samchuly Phantom FE GS. Not quite sure what the difference between the two is as they're veritably identical in specifications. Their website isn't exactly user friendly in terms of finding what you're looking for. I don't think they sell replacement parts, which is a terrible business model, and I can't get customer service due to the language barrier as I don't speak Korean. Any assistance is being able to find a replacement integrated battery seat assembly so I can fix this bike up would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to see it go to waste, it's a rather expensive bike.https://www.samchuly.co.kr/index.php/eng/bicycle/view?no=1991&type=search_list&searchJson=5xTJx6o7PpQKRICFTyRcEHTd+3IZOUFaKmWDP17JDUHqejtFkO9K/OeJNOEDFJZQaxyoGH+wn8Ndh1NUfWzDDmDAhnMK+7L4cL5dfBk6V1Rz4ys+Cd6DKg7kJa70cJis&scrollTop=644https://www.samchuly.co.kr/index.php/eng/bicycle/view?no=1461&code=B011001&type=brand

>>2825736lol b rownjeet photoshopping it s skin white
>>2825730the reason why it was left to rot on the street is either:a) battery died and costs as much as the entire bike itselfb) the bicycle motor or the electronics controlling the motor are dead and the owner decided to sell the battery and leave the bike to rot either way you will probably need to reverse engineer this bike's electronics and construction to make this repair worth the money and time you'll be throwing away at it. get a test battery, preferably a free one that is the same voltage as the original battery, try connecting it to the bike, if it doesn't work you will have to also buy a motor controller and a battery charging/protection circuit aswell or figure out a way to get around the manufacturer's way of the bike/charger communicating with the circuit in the battery pack.honestly with the money you'll be throwing at this bike to make it work you could build a medium-tier mountain bike and then spend that same amount of money again to upgrade it with an aliexpress e-bike kit

I’m an Applied Design major and I want to get a head-start on my Thesis Project now that I’m half-way through my four years. I’d like to make an ‘experience’ room that I can make big enough for a 7’ tall person, but that I can take apart and put together in art galleries.What do I need to research? I thought about looking at how to build a shed but that seems too big. What kind of plan would I need to make or look for? Ideally, the walls would be able to be disassembled and pulled apart. How would I join these? That’s my most major concern right now. It’d essentially be 7’ or 8’ because I want people to be able to lay down in the room. Something with an entrance that can be open and closed and sound proofed. So there’d be a floor, four walls, and a ceiling that would be flat. Should I perhaps make it 9’ x 9’ i The nstead so that there’s room for the sound proofing? I’d also like to have adequate ventilation and slight a/c or something to make a nice temperature. The rest of the project primarily centers around decorating and creating objects for the space. If you’ve ever been in a Meow Wolf location it’s supposed to be their comfy/ambient spaces. I have little information about how to create this little room and don’t know where to start yet because I only have my associates and my core classes.
>>2825634>I’m an Applied Design major>Can't figure out how to build a boxThis whole planet is doomed.
>>2825678>can be bought in bulk for carsthose have bitterants you retard
No way in hell I’d get into a soundproofed coffin like that. What is your thesis? There might be other ways to skin this cat. For example when putting together a chill room at a rave, you can’t sound proof shit, and you have massive sound system right next to you. But in this case, you don’t need to block all sound, you just need to reduce the outside sound a bit, and use your own soothing sounds. It doesn’t need to be perfect just needs to be relaxed relative to the environment. So if you artificially increase the annoying factor just outside your box, the box will seem soothing. Eg , white room, flashing lights, high pitched annoying sounds, maybe be a dick and put in some strobes. Play crowd noises. Play some techno, just a real mess. Maybe put in some noisemakers for people to play with. Draw attention to the room, good food, whatever. Make the outside of the box garish and Lou’s with lights too. Then inside you pump in some soothing music, low lights, make it comfy as fuck. Let them write something fun on the walls for the next person.have a timer of some sort, so like 10 minutes. Add an “occupied” light on the door, or other way to keep people out. Make sure it’s cool enough , even though this sucks because it will significantly add to the noise. Maybe pump in cool air from another room rather than an open fan. Don’t let anyone get raped in there, it’ll ruin your art show for sure.
>>2825634sounds like pretty basic set design type stuff.whole lot of 2x3 and 1/4" ply screw it all together.if you can build a stud wall (ideally add some corner bracing) and then put some legs on it you can do that.roof i would say stretch and clamp a sheet over it if you need it closed rather than have anything heavy that you need to lift or could fall on someones head.couple of holes in the end studs of each section and bolt it all together.you will never soundproof it properly and there is very little point in trying.of course if you want to think outside the box maybe you could rent one of those refrigerated trucks for frozen food, decorate the inside of that. just host it outside the gallery in the parking lot.or if you want to phone it in get a folding gazebo or tube frame plastic greenhouse off amazon idk.
