>>2945583Tell us why pure copper is better, then
>>2945820first google result "Solid copper wire is superior to copper-coated aluminum wire for most applications due to its better electrical conductivity, higher durability, and greater resistance to heat and breakage, which are essential for safe and reliable signal transmission, especially in high-demand applications like Power over Ethernet (PoE) and long-distance data cabling. While CCA is cheaper, its aluminum core makes it more brittle, more prone to failure, and incapable of meeting industry standards for Ethernet and PoE, making solid copper the preferred, higher-quality choice."now eat shit, I don't even know why you want to argue about such an obvious shitI'm starting to think you are unironically a jew

My washer from the 90's failed and I dropped the timer (most expensive) while dissambling and figuring it out, causing it to break. Found another washer for free, works, better than nothing. But the amount of bullshit involved with it...>No ability to set water level>Put it on "deep water wash" but it still only fills half full>Auto sensing>Stops filling when you open the lid>Won't spin at all with the lid openWhat the fuck is this shit? I know how dirty it is, I know how much soap I put in, I know what I want. I set it to deep water wash, so fucking do it. Fill all the way goddamn it. It fills to half. Half. I said full, you stupid fuck. Occasionally end up filling it manually with a bucket.Is this really how bad it's gotten? My old one had a dial. If you set it to full, it filled to full. Period. Very straightforward. You pull on the dial, it starts working. There was no start button. There was no auto sensing. It didn't do any of this shit. What the fuck is wrong with this world. I have no control over this thing and have to fight with it to have it doing what it needs to.
>>2944252Nah.. maytags are lasting way longer than that.
>>2943604I remember the day that I bought my first new washing machine. I did a load of laundry. I sat in front of it and watched it run through the entire cycle like an autistic retard.
>>2944321It is only natural. What, are you just going to not know?
>>2944321>>2944322Imagine NOT doing this. For all you'd know it might flush all the soap in the first two minutes and spend the rest of the time spinning.
>>2943606Anon, it's called an agitator. I feel your pain though.
>watching murican channel (24/7 westerns)>commercials targeted at boomers come on>"check out this battery powered pressure washer that's so powerful it can strip the paint off your car">"all you need is a bucket of water and you are good to go, no more clunky hoses or power cords">"it also comes with 9001 attachments">"this is made right here in the USA">"all for $29.99">"call now and we will give you can get it for only $14.99 including free shipping to anywhere in america and puerto rico">"also get a complementary propane bbq grill at no extra cost">"but wait because of overstock we will give you a 2nd pressure washer and battery for free"So are all these commercials scams?

>>2946036>the inexperienced in this field are a liabilitybro, it's a hose
>>2946038This is ragebait but here's your (You), I definitely paid a lot but that's what it costs to do shit professionally. You get what you pay for, and your equipment only treats you as good as you treat it, it's an investment and you get out what you put in, which is money.Plus my rig is fuckin wicked sick and it's great to work with. And when I get even more money, I'm gonna buy so much more dope shit, and it's gonna be epic.>>2946054There's a difference between haulin ass n gettin paid and doing it for free.>>2946061Always gas. You can't work on a client's property relying on their electrical cause that's a liability issue. Let's say you blow a fuse and that circuit is connected to their chest freezer and they're not home. Or let's say the wiring is faulty and you start a fire, or the outlet isn't covered cause you're plugged in and you accidentally blow water into it and it breaks. Electric units generally are also underpowered.The pump on my pressure washer is 17600 CU (4400 PSI * 4 GPM) but I'm considering upgrading to 8 GPM. It's flow and technique that's important, not pressure, and a lot of natural stains from mold, mildew, etc. require chemical treatment. Oil and gum require heat, a light oil stain can be treated via enzymes but they aren't great on concrete in my experience. My soft wash uses a chemical pump rated at 6 GPM, maybe 70 PSI, but I have a long lance to counter that. Rarely do I ever run my pressure washer at full throttle, and its 0° tip collects dust, I mostly use the 40°>>2946194Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
So, together with a friend, we have decided to make our own console for fun and giggles. This surely is an undertaking but this is an idea we were considering for a long time and as we got more and more experienced with circuits, embedded programming, 3d printing and stuff like that, I feel like it would be finally in our reach.I never really looked at other people's similar projects, I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I can write code and I can use google so I think we will figure it out and get there eventually.I will post our progress in this thread.
>>2941346>How exactly would that even work with games that need motion controls?While that design doesn't specifically have it installed, you just need to rewire in the bluetooth module from the original board and hotglue two IR leds in the case. Yeah you'd need a separate wii control for it but this mod is specific for gamecube games. Also I think there are software options to map motion controls to the sticks. Pick your poison I guess.
>>2941709>I'm just saying that I've thought about making my own custom handheld, but felt that if I couldn't really do something better than what's already out there then there really isn't a point to making custom hardware for gaming.Ah, I see. I thought you were still trying to find some way to make the project worthwhile, but that was my misunderstanding.I agree that this is a pointless project. The kind of thing you do for the sake of doing it.>But at what point does it all just become an excessive amount of shit?I get what you mean. There's only so much space we actually need to map out.I'm actually pretty happy with the standard DualShock layout. I think you can do some interesting stuff with layers and context dependency like MGSV.
Back to square one(0-indexed).I got I2S driver to do what I needed and rewrote everything to no-std.Now it's time to port the lua vm to no-std.Pic related is current, improved communication with the touch screen. Since I got oscilloscope hooked I also checked how did the previous one perform and I have no idea how did it even work. It completely shit on the protocol, yet somehow managed to work by pure chance. No wonder why I was getting sort of noise in position, it is so much more precise now. Not that I will even be needing touch screen much but it's still nice to see things work properly.
>>2943777>Now it's time to port the lua vm to no-std.And it's done. It took me way less time than I expected. It turned out that someone has already been working on a no_std PR some time ago and it was just manner of rebasing it to newest changes.Since I already had interface for pico8 prepared for the test native emulator, it only took a little wrestling with psram to just get it running on the chip.Now it's time to implement rest of pico8 api.
Bump because progress.Not much to show off visually right now.Pico-8 uses fixed point Q16.16 math and to make the emulation accurate I will have to change the lua interpreter to do the same. I could probably just use some general purpose fixed point library, but I decided to roll my own code since I want to try some interesting trig approximations I have seen recently. So far I managed to write/wrap integer-style math methods. Trigs, pows, logs, etc will come next.In the meantime I also wrote script to embed Pico-8 system font in the code and support for in-memory custom fonts. There isn't any way to see them until I implement print() function though.
Dog (rescue mutt) has gotten into a porcupine 3 times already this year, and while I'm usually able to get the ones in the head, I usually have to bring the retard to the vet for the mouth ones. Wondering if anyone has a dosage rate for ketamine (if that will even work?) or any other suggestions on how I can get him slowed down or knocked out so I can do it myself?Getting to the point where I'm think about just shooting him, and the kids wouldn't like that.

>>2945064Have you seen those commercials about green noise calming you down? That might be worth a shot, along with maybe putting the dog in a blue room: blue is the most calming color after all.
all the edamameboi comments are clearly from citiots that have never had to deal with an animal in distress i watched a 2200lb blue angus cross bull bend the front gates on the squeeze chute in a homicidal rage after it somehow kissed a porcupines ass in the feedlot. dogs arent much more civilizedin the old days you could bum reds (horse tranqs) off the truckers. the bullhaulers were always a sure bet. those crazy fuckers kept a lunchbox full of uppers and downers for whatever the mood was

Hi, I'm a beginner and was good at woodworking in school, but unfortunately moved to a school without a shop when I was 15. Since then I have been pretty crafty and built and made all sorts of things, but never had the space for a shop....until now! While I'm still pretty limited in terms of budget, I have a nice space and some tools. Main ones being circular saw and a drill. I can afford to buy some more hand tools but not a table saw quite yet. I want to eventually build some furniture (like picrel, it's made from acacia wdyt?), but first I suppose I need to build a workbench. Any ideas on what someone in my situation could build?
>>2945988It depends on your space, budget, and how you intend to use it. I would look back on the benches you used to use and try to figure out how to fit as much of that functionality into your work space as possible. >>2945990I'm currently using two stackable sawhorses I made out of extra 2x4s with a a janky table top made of pallet boards as one of my benches.
>>2945988Ana whites design is the best ‘first bench’ I know. Can be any size, only needs a drill and saw, and you can reuse the wood for your next design if you don’t glue it. Once you figure out your real needs, space and budget you’ll build another one anyway
>>2946142A WOMAN!?? Lol jk that is exactly what I need, fair play to her - it looks great! I'll download these plans I think and work on this one. Thank you!The only other option I might have is this. <facebook> /share/1BEzx9cirt/ (it won't let me link)Would any of you anons have any ideas on this?
>>2946154Don’t go with the exact plans on the website though, it tells you to screw the central top supports on right into the end, instead cut some 4” lengths of 2x4, screw onto the inside sideways and connect the top supports to that, or just use a full length strip
>>2946176Why?
if you don't know how to do this, make a friend with someone who does bud.
>>2943087How was the inital reaction to slaughtering an animal you raised? I have some friends who had to slaughter a cow they raised from a birth and set it was a bit sad, but it was easier because that specific cow was a dick.
>>2945697it's not really an issue for us. we generally know who we are going to butcher within weeks, if not hours of birth. we respect and appreciate our sheep, but each one has a purpose, and everyone/everything has an expiration date. when it's planned, it's just part of the deal, our way of life. when it's unexpected (broken leg, fatal pregnancy, predators, etc) it's fucking heartbreaking. we lost our only breeding ram 2 months before 2024 breeding season; broken leg. he was a dangerous asshole. I was devastated, my wife cried. he had fucked us both up before. we have a ewe, Fen, who is a total cunt on the milking stand. wife talks steady shit to her tells he "I can't wait to eat you!" and eventually, we will. it won't bother us to kill & butcher her. that said, if she broke her leg tomorrow & we had to butcher her, we would be crushed.it's all about your mindset, I guess. when you prepare for it, it's not an issue.
>>2945306Compared to you, I am 100% fucked and cursed to remain a slave
Can any of you recommend a hand tool for slicing frozen carcasses and primals that isn't cheap chinesium that'll break or dull halfway through the first job? Getting a standing band-saw like they have at the butchers ain't in the budget this year. I'd ask in /ck/ but it doesn't look like a single one of them actually knows how to cook, much less butcher.

I have a 1998 GMC that the center console vinyl is starting to bubble up. I was thinking of using a syringe and infect glue under it then push it down. What kind of glue should I use to do thi.
>>2940796Im eager to know how this works out for the OP. I also have a vintage automobile with some vinyl bubbling
>>2944161>>2944156I'm thinking of taking it apart and drilling a small hole on the other side through the plastic then injecting glue from the other side with a bigger needle i it happens again but right now just heating it hup and pushing it back down as fixed it
>>2944147E6000 and similar Goop products have a metal tube instead of plastic because the solvent is able to permeate through plastic. The manufacturer wants a long shelf life in stores so it originally has a metal seal which must be punctured to open it.The manufacturer wants a short shelf life for the customer, so they have a plastic cap which allows the solvent to leak out. In a few months/years it will be cured inside the tube, and you buy a new tube :) but not if you use the foil.
>>2946099I'll be damned. Does that work on other adhesives and sealants like silicone? I feel like I only ever get one good use out of a tube and then it's plugged the next time I need it.
>>2946117It should help since aluminum is a lot less permeable than plastic wrap, or a plastic cap, but if the tube material is permeable plastic (albeit thick) the rest of the tube or bottom becomes the "weakest link" and will still cure even if you had a perfectly impermeable cap.The silicone tubes are challenging since the tip is pointy and will tear aluminum foil.I will fold/wrap aluminum foil over the tip and then screw a wire nut over that tightly. There's also the trick where you stick a nail into the tip to keep a clean channel assuming that the area near the tip will solidify. There are also pic-related containers for preserving opened tubes. I've had mixed results with these methods.Probably the best would be to use a vacuum sealer and metallic bags to preserve the tube between uses, but I haven't tried.
To what extent does it spell true that blue collar work is filled with feral, room temp IQ macho wigger schoolyard bully types (dudes that unironically think that wiping your ass is "gay") with the EQ/conflict resolution/emotional regulation skills of a 4 year old low functioning wall hole-banging autist - who would basically be stray, out of control beasts if they didn't have blue collar work to keep them in check/as a means to channel all of their brute adrenaline/energy into?
>>2945297I don't work on trades because my dad does. My dad looked like I was the only reason he didn't end it's life. The amount of stories about retards in construction work sites is incredible. By the end of its career my dad was the typical cold, disappointed old guy that doesn't talk at all, he just worked and gave up on socialising with its colleagues. He said most colleagues won't do proper work and they'll ask you for help constantly if you are too nice and then shit on your back in front of HR. Thanks for resisting the urge of killing someone or yourself dad, I know you did it for me>inb4 esl, yes I'm a frog but this is just universal
>>2945297Depends on the trade. Aviation has been very good to me with vastly better military benefits and of course early retirement which is glorious. DIY has been magnificent to me but military aircraft maintenance is why I could retire at 47 with a major DIY skill and equipment advantage. I would much rather work on aircraft than civilian cars and trucks. I've done plenty of both and know why those mechanics are leaving the auto industry in droves for jobs that use their many skills and pay much better than the race to the bottom that's fixing most cars. Totally worth working on my vehicles though and wrenching cars is foundational to all sorts of other DIY.
See >>2945649
>>2945297It’s a sliding scale, generally the lesser skilled or less certifications a job has, the more it’s filled with junkies or actual retardsIn my experience though, white collar has more and worse assholes, they’re just more subtle about it
>>2945297At least here in Europe most of the new people on blue collar jobs are immigrants, the ones I work with are not troublemakers but they do are retarded and don't care much for doing a good job and get frustrated pretty fast if work does not go smoothly. Also they're retarded enough to hit things harder or use ratchet wrenches as a hammer to fix the problem.This continent is fucked.

I've been chasing the following DX stations for a few days while trying to work them in all modes and on all bands, and am beat hunting on just one radio. I could add some SDR receivers, but swapping from FT8 to CW or SSB is getting old. I'd much rather run 2 radios on the same PC.

>>2945989>I saw that today! Plus dual COM ports!Use of modern interfaces was way overdue. Yaesu was roundly criticized for using ancient graphics ports. This is 2025, USB is where it is at.So they need a major refresh on their line, like 991B, FTDX-10A etc. And hopefully a FTDX-9000F.
Would anything go wrong or be undesirable about using big 1.5/2/whatever" layflat hose with adapter fittings on a transfer pump designed for 3/4 GHT?Looking to pump water ~300ft laterally but with a vertical rise of only about 10", thinking big layflat discharge hose would be good to reduce friction loss, and it packs smaller than garden hose. But I've never seen anyone do it, would it drop the pressure or something? Kink too easy because the hose is empty? Are these terminally stupid questions? I know the suction hose has to be equal or larger diameter.
People use lay flat hoses to discharge water from backwashing pool filters without issue. It wouldn't work on the intake as others have suggested but I see no reason it wouldn't work for the outflow. It will hold a lot of water when done due to the rise but you can solve that by just lifting up the pump end.
>>2945909>The weight of the column doesn't change anything, only the height.Because the higher the water column is, the greater the weight of water in it. More water = more weight. More weight = greater head pressure.
>>2945932The retarded tripfag was asking if, when you have more water in one body, as in a thicker hose, its total weight would have an effect on the pump. So the answer is, no, it doesn't matter if you have a 1mm diameter pipe that's 10m high or a 1km diameter pipe that's 10m high, both of them have the same pressure at the bottom, and the pump faces the same head pressure. The relation of the water column's height to pressure isn't related to total weight, only specific weight and height. P = h * ρ
>>2945939That was the question. Too lazy to google the equation. Is there more pressure at a 3/4” outlet on the bottom of a 10ft tall tank full of 20k gallons of water? Or a 3/4” garden hose 10’ long standing vertically full of water?If physics says they’re the same, well I guess they’re the same. Gravity does what it does.
>>2946095Somehow you don't sound like you're asking the question honestly. Like you're saying well obviously pfft it's the 20k gallon tank.

Talk me out of this house. Haven't seen house or town yet. Reason for location is seems like OK small town but still easy commute to small city.No Cooling but says Power updated from Pole so Mini-Splits should be possible.Lots of joists and floor just replaced so maybe big rot or termite issue. I'd do my own crawl but what to look for besides wet dirt to see if rot might come back?Maybe could finish attic to at least semi-livable additional sq feet, and maybe convert attached two car to master bed and bath.Enclose front porch for quick extra sq ft.Had on Contingent fall off 3 months ago.

>>2946082Its not a car edgelord. You FIX the problems and the value goes UP significantly. That's the whole reason you buy a 'fixer upper'. Why do you think houses like this are so fucking cheap? You think the vinyl siding and click lock floors are adding value? Yeah, just have Dumbfuck construction put in a prefab kitchen that is nothing but MDF and melamine. Guaranteed to add $250 in value to your $80k house and only cost you $15k.No, you get rid of that shit and you put in real building materials. What do you think is going to impress people in a 100 year old house if you ever try and sell it? Hell, what would you want to live with? Mirrored walls or plaster? Vinyl bullshit or actual wood? A metal roof or 20 year rated composite shingle? You're only useful as a bad example to others.
