If you live in the american paper houses, that's an atrocious price, kill them and do it yourself.

If you live in a european house made of brick and stone, that's still overpriced, but doing it yourself is a pain because you'll have to create a channel in the wall and need the equipment to do so.

Unironically a bit like this.
There's channels in the stone which are used for cables and pipes and if you want one where there isn't already a channel, you have to chisel out the stone essentially.
Alternatively there's plastic channels you can attach on the outside of the wall, but those are considered bad workmanship/for cheap bastards.
Our walls aren't hollow, so we don't have a cavity to easily lay the cabling into, which is one of the things I'm always kind of jealous about when I see american home DIY stuff, cutting a hole into drywall and fixing it up later seems so trivially easy compared to here.

Let it be known that I have had a very enjoyable first summer of HF with an indoor 20m EFHW antenna strung around my tiny Manhattan apartment

It is possible

>>3010881
Maybe? Compared to the 888, it’s only 10MHz bandwidth, and only 14-bit. The switchable filters look nice, but manually making and swapping filters would be a lot cheaper. It goes down to 1kHz instead of 10kHz, doesn’t seem too useful.
Will that extra 2 bits of resolution on the 888 be useful?

Either are still kinda expensive, does nobody make a single ADC channel direct-sampling-only SDR for HF?

>>3010900
The Web-888 is like 3 times the price, I’m not exactly looking for a web SDR.

Thanks, watched the whole video and learned something new. Maybe I'll try the sterile distilled water approach one day.
Also I never worked with liquid cultures because agar plates worked pretty well for me so far.

>>3010526
Theres really no need for lc unless you want to scale/speed up colonization, or as mentioned, if you need longterm-ish culture storage. I mainly noc jars with agar wedges too, i like the benefit of getting a bunch of genetic variation from subculturing germ plates. But if its near the end of winter and i want a jumpstart in making patches then ill make some lc to get some fast colonization happening in my grain/substrate jars. I only run woodlovers outdoors and some species are slower to colonize, so lc can speed that up. Indoor cube grows dont really need this tho, from agar to grain to bulk sub only takes about a month to 6 weeks for me and most people

Does anyone here have experience repainting a figure?
I basically want to turn a figure into another character. I purchased a 20cm prize figure as the base so its not crazy intricate or expensive if I fuck up. I have never tried anything like this before and am aware of my skill limitations. If possible, I hope to leave the exposed skin/face areas intact as the factory paint is probably going to be nicer than what I can achieve without an airbrush.

Some things I will have to do:
1: repaint the clothing to match the new character
2: change the eye color
3: repaint the hair
4: give her a haircut if feasible
5: add accessories not found on the original figure such as a sword

If anyone has any experience with this, I would appreciate some input or sharing a before/after so I can manage my expectations.

>>3010925
Are you making Esdeath or Oldrin?

>>3010928
Neither. But I am doing this for the same reason of no one making figs/kits though. I will share more as I get further along. I am gathering supplies still. I need to source the accessories I want to add probably from some random junked figures before I do anything else.

>>3010671
Do you own that place or rent it?
Is that proper parquet floor or some pre fab panels? In either case it doesn’t look warped so that’s good. Probably could sand it and reseal it, however if you only do that spot it will also look off, but maybe less so. Doing it properly will cost you, but 4000 seems harsh.

>>3010671
probably depends on how much you want it 'fixed'.

I'd buy a belt and a palm sander, and small shop vac to plug into those. Sand reasonably well then some poly finish.

maybe stain remover after sanding but before finish,

but IDK.

>>3010857
Also depends on more context in the picture but OP is a fag, as ALWAYS.
If we're looking at water damage, you'll probably want to replace the floor as it'll eventually warp and get mold, etc

>>3010858
Based on the outlets this is Europe so no worries there

Sand the entire room to 300 grit, apply oxalic acid (look up a tutorial online), have some heaters in there if it's too cold already, wear a mask and gloves it fucks up your lungs and skin from experience, rinse (literally) and repeat until it's all even, sand once again, apply stain and finish with 2K PU meant for parquet
It's never gonna look as good as it did originally unless you hire a professional but the good thing about hardwood flooring is you can choose to hire one once you fuck it up, either now or 100 years down the row

i would pay 4k euros to not do this

Ive got about $12k and 220v 3phase to set up a hobby shop. From reading forums and watching videos i feel like i should have enough to get started.
Any advice for machine shopping? What can i realistically expect with this budget. A mill and lathe seem like the absolute basics. A band saw seems like it would be nice to have as well.

>>3010584
theres a milltronics retrofitted cnc on tbe pm forum right now (no affiliation) which would be the type of machine id be looking for if i was in your situation. a regular bridgeport is great (im fanboy #1) but they take years of experience and piles of tooling to do oddball assache operations that a cnc can do in 2 minutes with the part clamped flat in the vise. find something with an cat40 spindle vs rb because its so much better for repeatability and rigidity and tooling is stupid cheap
lathes are peculiar beasts. theres a world of difference between a sub $1k and $2500 machines but then it quickly becomes a law of diminishing returns. so wait around for a deal and buy the absolute best lathe you can. a square head clausing 15 or a nardini 14 are ok midsize machines. avoid chinkshit like the plague and anything with an open flat belt drive (antique shit)
and of course figuring out how to move this shit will also come into play

I just took an EDC pic and I don't see any better place to put it, so here we go. I'm an ex-mechanic going back to school for machining/CNC programming. I have a whole toolbox but this is the stuff that I actually keep on my person during the day. Obviously I have a phone, wallet, sunglasses, and keys too but they're not interesting enough to cram into the photo.

is it laminated, steam bent? what kind of bow?

>>3010137
None of these. I had to bend the tips with a heat gun a bit for string alignment- now it’s about centershot while shooting off hand while it was like 5 cm from the center of the handle at first due to lateral curves. It’s a self bow, as I said a d-shaped longbow but with a rigid handle.

I was thinking it's something more akin the code, from the schematics it seems to expect some sort of signal conditioning in ADC1 and ADC2, but I'm reading the schema wrong, in the >picrel.png, the 12P2R block , means that the signal received from 2,4 and 6 shorts thru and goes to POT1,POT2, etc, or how does the ADC1 signal reach the I/O 32 on pin 21?

>>3010875
the float system uses a fill pump to add sanitized water with hydroguard for root rot and BT for gnats with nutrients to prevent oversaturating each bucket. nutrients are added on a per bucket basis while the float system maintains water level only and refills via siphon.

the fill pump draws from a water refill bucket, pumps up the siphon line to the fill tank to clear out any bubbles. the fill tank has another connection for a 1/4" vinyl hose as a level indicator. the fill tank sits at the highest level in the system and siphons water to the float tank.

closeup of the float tank check valve in next post. the idea is the blue float and valve combo in the pic rises with the water level in the float tank until the extension rod is overcome by spring pressure and closes the valve. it is made of pipe fittings, 3mm stainless steel rod, 2 conical springs, and a silicone arts and crafts bead as the sealing surface. all stainless and foodsafe, especially the arts and crafts bead. total cost approx $10 for the float check valve.

for a reason- level float valves are a tipover hazard and can drain the entire system. using this prevents that. when the buckets siphon water from the siphon header, the float tank gets low, the pontoon sinks, the extension rod touches down, the sinking ballast overcomes the spring, water flows via siphon into the float tank, restarting the fill to float cycle.

>>3010876
internal design of the float check valve in picrel.

another system design note is that the fill tank is sized such that if something goes wrong, like the float doesn't refloat, the total size of the fill tank is less than the air volume of the buckets on the float tank. this means that if it fully drains to the buckets, they do not overflow.

each bucket has a check valve to prevent biofilm backflow into the other buckets, but it also allows a bucket to be refilled manually with water to dilute the nutrient bath if needed. it also allows to add a new bucket to the siphon header and not have it backflow via siphon into all the other buckets on the same siphon header.

not shown the diagram is the siphon line recirc. that uses the other port of the dual pump box for fill and recirc. the siphon header supplying each bucket has a return line where occasionally the pump is used to flush out any bubbles which may accumulate in the siphon header. the fill tank siphon is flushed during routine refill, while the siphon header has a loopback for that.

>>3010877
>loopback
important design note-

if using a recirc loopback on a siphon header like this, do not pump into the siphon header! that will cause the check valves to lift and pump into the buckets. instead, and this is important, take a suction from the far end of the siphon header, suction drag it all the way back through another piece of 1/4" hose, not the siphon header, and pump by positive pressure back into the float tank. that will cause a slight rise in the float tank, which is fine, but it will also cause the check valve at each bucket to suck shut, not mess with water level, and pump by suction the entire siphon header down, far away from the siphon tank, suction drag it back by a dedicated siphon header recirc line, and discharge back into the fill tank.

that will strip out any bubbles from the siphon header, preventing a bucket from drying out. the same approach can be used for larger vessels, like the water cooler hydroponic grow vessels. the float tank need not be large either, it only needs to fit inside a suitable container, and the minimal design is a 2 gallon bucket.

the blue float in >>3010876 is a piece of a pool exercise dumbbell whose inside diameter happens to be correct for pushing the float check valve assembly down into. riding on top of it needs to be enough ballast only to get the spring to actuate while also having a powerful enough spring to force the valve shut for tipover safety. 1 kg in a small conical spring was enough, but 2 conical springs fit just as well and have plenty of room for ballast.

I use a 5" disk of stainless steel, 3/8" thick. that is around 2 kg. other suitably heavy things for sinking ballast can be used. adjusting the length and stickout of the extension rod sets the float height, so make sure to keep the sinking ballast as little as possible to prevent causing the float to ride too low. just enough to get it to operate.

these cinnamon basil were started at the same time as the ony basil on the middle shelf and back corner of

>>3010873

and are growing accoringly faster. basil in picrel are about 4 weeks after being transplanted into 2 gallon passive kratky buckets. their water level is 1 gallon, making them ready to have a hole drilled in the lid (should've done that before) and get a stainless steel drinking straw as a standpipe installed with a cord grip to hold it in place, making the water input from the siphon float system. not shown in the diagram is another cord grip straw combo to be installed to draw water for sampling and nutrient refill, separate from the siphon fill line with a check valve.

this setup prevents the problems I saw with NFT and passive kratky systems made from stuff like PVC pipes and fencepost covers. those are cool, and I think they have their place in another project I have going on, but this setup provides for growing just as much and using just as much light, but in a different context. this setup is partly for maturing plants for outside in their own hydroponic setups, but also for running things like basil wayyyyyy past their typical seasonal end of life. smaller things like kitchen herbs can work well in here.

the gaps between the buckets are used, for now, to hold germinating trays. later on when I get a few mature grape and strawberry plants running, their buckets will be on the lower level, their vines coming up through the wire mesh shelving to make use of the gap light between buckets.

>>3010882
>gap light between buckets.
something which works well too is coplanting in a kratky bucket. the larger basil are using the captured nitrogen from the clovers. the leaf clovers also are a good indicator to show the status of the nutrient bath. the extremely dark green leaves of the clovers can sometimes change colors to pale before the main plant does, showing a problem. when the clovers are strong, the feed nitrogen back into the nutrient bath... at least I think so.

the ones I've tried without doing this are less vigorous than the ones I have coplanted basil and clover in the same kratky bucket. seems to work quite well.

our house is small by modern standards. designed by us, built from 2022-2023. 3b2ba2ca, 140sqm (1500sqft) plus 38sqm (400sqft) basement. open floorplan great room. not because we host or have friends (we don't) but because it works for us as an active farmhouse. we often bring small construction projects in to work on between living/kitchen area. we also set up butcher table when we slaughter and sometimes perform veterinary surgery. its just easier to move around in the open area, especially since we also have a very large 70kg guardian dog that comes in for food and social time in the evenings.

we feel our house size is appropriate to our needs. our fist house was 105m2 so this is almost 30% larger. we didnt want a giant house and taxes are based on living area. it has a covered porch not shown in drawing left of garage, along front, a few feet past Bdrm3 interior wall.
